Ratings and reviews

Astonishingly high charges to do anything. On that alone I would highly recommend steering well clear. Not only that, however, the app isn't user friendly at all, no information easily displayed and very difficult to dig down into specifics. Having used Etoro for sometime, the difference in usability is just ridiculous. Avoid avoid avoid. Unless you're a masochist and love paying through the nose for a below par experience.

Overall the app does what I need. However, there's one particularly frustrating (mis-)feature of the app that makes using it more difficult for me. That is how the app surpresses keyboard suggestions and swipe typing in search fields. It seems to do this by making the OS think that they are password fields, which also causes the keyboard to mask clipboard suggestions for the field. There's simply no reason for the app to do this, and it's also an accessibility problem.

The app is no longer saving watch list changes, reducing it's usefulness to me. I've followed the advice to reload the app and to upgrade, both to no avail. I'm also logged in. This "Connection Error" appears to be no such thing but is what I get if I've had the temerity to enter too many decimal places. A really poor user experience. Why not indicate the real reason why a watch list change won't save?
