User Reviews

User reviews consistently report that Benefits OnLine’s iOS app is unreliable and often unusable. The most repeated issues are login failures, persistent error pages or blank screens, and a largely web-based experience rather than a true native app. Additional complaints include slow performance, an outdated interface, and limited functionality (no easy rebalancing, hard-to-find information, and missing key features). Two-factor authentication problems and generally poor customer support further degrade the experience. Overall, many users find the app a burden and prefer the website.

This is one of the worse apps I’ve used. They don’t make it easy to find anything and if you have a brokerage account forget it. Even knowing I have to leave the app to do trading, they don’t make it easy. If your company says there switching to this company for your 401k fight it.

When I log in sometimes it gets redirected to my dashboard with no issues, but more often it redirect to Page Not Found and I have to select the Home link to get to my account. But it looks like it’s an old version of the UI.
