I am. It still works well. No other communication from Vanguard on it.
As a reminder, it works only for Vanguard ETFs and you must place the dollar amount orders as a market order.

Thanks, a good sign that its still ongoing not shut down, there's a chance it will eventually be available to others.
I actually stopped my automatic MF purchases to use the ETF purchasing to show them there's interest in using it. (As if I make any difference to them!)quietseas wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 9:19 amThanks, a good sign that its still ongoing not shut down, there's a chance it will eventually be available to others.
Yes, though the website you can buy fractional shares of Vanguard's ETFs, though only as market orders.
Can anyone buy the fractional shares on the website, or only those in a beta test program? I do not currently but ETFs at Vanguard, so I have not attempted.
I just checked and it wasn’t an option for me.Cheez-It Guy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 8:29 pmCan anyone buy the fractional shares on the website, or only those in a beta test program? I do not currently but ETFs at Vanguard, so I have not attempted.
Beta, as far as I know. I was randomly selected a few months ago. I say random because I have a small taxable account and Roth with them. (Less than $200k). I had been doing weekly buys of VTSAX. I had only entered into the ETF space for my Roth, and could only buy whole shares then. So it wasn't like I was some frenetic trader.Cheez-It Guy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 8:29 pmCan anyone buy the fractional shares on the website, or only those in a beta test program?

Envious of you Vtsax100. Until I can figure out how to code, let alone navigate apps on my iPhone , I'm stuck with the new one.

Unfortunately, if you updated to the new Vanguard app, there is no way to get the old one. One option that seems to help some people is to try the Vanguard app on a different device (e.g. if it doesn't work on your phone, try your tablet, etc.).Matahari wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 3:17 pm Fellow frustrated mobile-app users:
Once again, Vanguard's app is refusing to accept mobile checks when I've tried to add funds to my brokerage settlement account. It keeps giving me the following message after I've taken the picture of the BACK of the check and hit submit. Each attempt results in the same message. It is beyond frustrating and ridiculous:
"Sorry, something went wrong. We're having trouble reading your signature. Please take a new picture and try again."
The signature on the front of the check is perfectly legible and the image is very clear and readable.
I've turned up the brightness to the maximum on my iPhone and take pictures in a brightly-lit area with the check against a dark background.
I've also deleted the Vanguard app and re-installed but to no avail.
I've contacted my Flagship rep and sent images of the check I've tried to submit and the response was virtually useless.
Where can I find the old Vanguard app so that I can install that?? Thanks for your help.
With an iPhone, you don't have an option to rollback. With Android, you might find someone who kept a copy of the APK, but then you'd have to sideload it, which I wouldn't do with a file from some Internet rando.Matahari wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 3:17 pm Fellow frustrated mobile-app users:

If you have $5M+ I think you still get assigned a dedicated Flagship rep.

I have been able to place trades for a while. But you cannot do mutual fund exchanges or view individual tax lots, so you cannot effectively tax loss harvest with this app.

Yes transact tab has option to purchase, I have not tried it yet.
I am one of few who have fractional share capability, will try soon.
I am still not received upgrade to Flagship even though it has been a year since my balance went from 829k to 2.7 million since retiring a year ago.
Schlocky service what can I say?

I just reported them to Apple for fraud. The App Preview says you can Transact which is a lie.

You can no longer effectively tax loss harvest mutual funds in the app. Lost are the abilities (1) to view individual tax lots and choose which ones to sell for effective tax loss harvesting and (2) to "exchange" mutual funds (TLH without being out of the market). You also ccan no longer fund mutual fund purchases from a bank account on the app. Why add the extra step of funding a settlement fund first?Charles Joseph wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 3:57 pmSeriously, 12 thread pages wasted on this?
