They use the Fidelity app on Android without the keyboard, scrolling or options problems others report, though the advanced chart loads slower than they would like.
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 hold retirement savings at Fidelity and value its slower, more conservative transfers as protection against fraud and impulsive mistakes, calling the slowness a feature rather than a bug.

They keep most of their money at Fidelity and praise its customer service and lack of gimmicks, saying some reps taught them a lot about personal finance. They only move money out for other brokers' transfer bonuses.

They couldn't exit a large floating-rate note elsewhere for months, then Fidelity quoted it in minutes and sold quickly. They also praise free wires and say concerns about Fidelity advisors are overrated.

They use Fidelity because they trust the government would protect customers if it failed, and prefer it for safety even though they think Robinhood's app is better.

They use a self-directed (manual) Fidelity account rather than the Go robo-advisor and report that it has been great for them, with zero problems so far.

They say Fidelity order fills are excellent, with market buys often filled at the bid and good prices on wide-spread stocks, which they contrast favorably with Webull and Robinhood.

They keep all their medium and long term investments at Fidelity and have never had a single issue, using Schwab separately for short term trading with thinkorswim.

They left E*TRADE a while back to go fully onto Fidelity, have no regrets, and have no plans to move to another institution anytime soon.

They report strong trade execution at Fidelity, often getting market and limit orders filled on thinly traded securities at better prices than expected, and point to the price improvement figures in balances.

Never has a problem with Fidelity transferring money to and from their account.
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.
