Merrill Edge
doubtful ratingA brokerage app glued to a bank, and clunky for it. It shows your Bank of America accounts and cards before your portfolio, and you have to hunt for the trade button. A white screen after login and weak security turn simple tasks into a chore.

About the rating
A 2.28 text average and just 19 percent five-star reviews against a 4.64 store rating. Complaints are specific and repeated (white screen, 2FA failures), while the praise is generic. The gap is a red flag.
