Robinhood website not working

The Robinhood web app has a history of outages. In March 2020, there was a system-wide Robinhood outage that impacted both the web and mobile apps.

So, you shouldn’t be entirely surprised if the Robinhood website isn’t working because of a server issue of some kind.

To check if Robinhood is down, open the Downdetector page for it. That tells you if there are any confirmed issues (outages) for Robinhood for your selected country. If there’s an outage, you’ll just have to wait for that to get fixed.

In addition to that, try opening the Robinhood website in an alternative browser. Open Robinhood in Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge if you’re utilizing an alternative browser. Those are the three supported browsers for Robinhood.

So, the best thing to do when Robinhood isn’t working is to update the app, clear its cached data, and reinstall it.

If that’s not enough, however, you could also try utilizing Robinhood on your desktop or laptop with an Android emulator.
