They call Fidelity Baskets horrible because some of their positions are stuck in limbo. They were told the engineering team would take about a week to respond.
Brokerage
Highly rated service with everything in one place; a sizable minority report held transfers.
A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off.
So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

They find the Fidelity mobile app laggy and say the options order screen is broken, with buttons covered up, calling it the worst app among all their brokerages.

They say the new Fidelity interface lags so much that it is unusable and that they plan to transfer their account elsewhere if it does not improve within weeks.

Finds the Fidelity app terrible because with a few accounts it never shows gains or losses, always leaving them blank.

Trades on Fidelity and reports lags, glitches, loading issues and sell orders not filling even when the bid fell below the limit. Calls the platform a big piece of trash for active trading and says he would not use it.

Says Fidelity sometimes rejects a second market order for the same stock submitted right after the first because it is too similar to the last one, and that it has been like this for years.

They hit a bug in Fidelity Baskets where one basket would not save ticker changes and recurring investments kept buying unwanted stocks. Support called baskets a niche product, and they are now looking at alternatives.

Despises the Fidelity app as terrible and finds Robinhood's app far superior, splitting money between the two.
Most customers rate the customer service highly and like having investing, cash and retirement accounts in one place, with the cash sweep earning interest. Many prefer it to Vanguard and Schwab. A sizable minority report transfers or deposits held for weeks, account locks, and a glitchy app.

It's how well reviewed Fidelity Brokerage Account is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
