Hopefully he does. I just started an account because of all the positives Jimmy listed. I do hope Betterment stays around and flourishes for a very long time.

Hi guys, I know its been awhile since this conversation last left off, but I did want to update your last point. We do now have an iphone app available on the site to help iphone users since, as you point out, the site is still flash-only.

We are constantly trying to make improvements to the user experience, but really appreciate you giving us a shot as a customer. We are proud of the progress we are making but by no means satisfied. Thanks for being a customer and helping spread the word.

Thus far it's been a nice experience. They recently rolled out automatic transfers for regular monthly saving and the funds have been doing reasonably well. I haven't made MILLIONS, but I've already beaten a standard savings account interest level (net), so it's paid for itself.

They still haven't put up an iPhone app and the site is still Flash-only, though, so they have some work to do.

I've had an active and functioning account for about a week now (it takes a while to get the first deposit in there…plus I applied on an holiday weekend!) and it seems to be doing alright. Essentially the "stock" portion follows the DOW or S&P. We'll have to see how it does long-term.
