Review summary

BUX app is favored for its easy-to-use interface and suitability for beginner investors, offering fractional shares and low minimum investments. However, users commonly complain about the introduction of monthly service fees without proper notification and relatively high cumulative fees. The app is seen as basic with limited investment options and features, occasional bugs, and some performance issues. While improvements and responsive support are acknowledged, many users suggest looking elsewhere if seeking a more advanced or cost-effective trading platform.

Pros

Easy to use with a simple and intuitive UI, suitable for beginner investors.
Allows investing in fractional shares and has low minimum investment amounts, making it accessible.
Regular updates and improvements have been noted, with responsive customer support.
Transparent and affordable concerning commissions compared to some other platforms.
The app appears stable and reliable with a clean and clear design.

Cons

Monthly service fees introduced without adequate notification, which users find unreasonable, especially for small or inactive accounts.
High service and transaction fees which can accumulate over time, sometimes perceived as costly or unfair.
Limited investment options including few stocks and ETFs, with a basic and less feature-rich experience compared to competitors.
Some users experience technical issues such as network errors, slow loading times, and bugs in automated trading plan execution.
Lack of certain requested features like detailed investment performance charts, customizable graph views, and comprehensive fee breakdowns.

2025-02-02	Ma*****	it's not a really intuitive app, it feels old and should provide more options for tinkerers like me

2025-01-26	Ba*****	Terrible, I've dealt shares in the past, if this is supposed to be fir an entry level then it's clearly trying to through the user. Installing it is like a North Korean legal document. Obviously driven by a vicious and greedy tax department. Finally I ended up uninstalling the app after my browser stated experiencing more frequent and intrusive adverts ... which coincidentally alsi stopped from the moment I un-installed the app... what can I say other than this app is clearly made by d dutch

2024-11-07	Be*****	Easy to handle, reliable and care given to the customer. Overall well managed app and lots of improvements since ABN Amro's participation.

2024-10-23	Tr*****	Investing in US portfolios from Netherlands is expensive at BUX. Everytime we buy/sell we need to convert Euro to USD and vice versa and the conversion rate is not so good. Also I don't like the idea of monthly fees. This is not so good for beginners trader.

2024-10-20	Ev*****	After installing the app I'm getting two things. Request to deposit cache to start investing and the network error every time I tap the "discover" tab. I'm using Ziggo ISP and their router. Pretty sure half of the population of the Netherlands is using the same.

2024-10-02	E.*****	Region locked, they dont want people to use their app. Even though we provide passport, residency arent these enough to make it a globally available application? What kind of narrow minded directions are you guys having there.

2024-09-30	Je*****	Service fees, every month. Insane for an app that claimed small investors could invest for free. Such a shame

2024-09-11	Mr*****	Seems to be a good investment app, recently started investments...BUT why do they need to deduct amount from my account 10 days prior to investment execution date? Other popular investment apps don't do that. The amount is credited to Bux account just a couple of hours before amount is due to be invested, until then keep wondering where the amount from bank has gone for 10 days. This needs serious correction, if they to earn trust.
