Not true about free apps. There are many free apps that will update the number of shares that you own and calculate the value of your accounts. But, with any app, you need to provide them with your login username and password so they can access your accounts and transfer the information to the app. I would trust the Vanguard Investments app, where I have investments, more so than a third party app.
