Ratings and reviews

Logs out during active session no matter the active input. Does not display percentage gain or loss for the day or overall. Frequently fails on selection of watchlist. Errors have become so numerous that they have disabled the Error Report function on the app. Only use this app as a last resort. Constantly having to reinstall. Locked out of app - does not recognise password or email suddenly. The exchange rates are always wrong.

Regardless of reporting this issue over multiple months, nothing get fixed ! Trading portion of app has errors and as a result does not allow trades. Also can't rotate on mobile and thus can't see all text. When reporting issues, you are advised to uninstall and then reinstall the app. Not impressed as it still does not fix the issues, it simply cause unecessary customer PT with same result!!!

Been using the web portal for many months. Only installed this app recently. So far a great experience. The app has a much more modern feel to it compared to the web portal. Decent features for what you would expect on a mobile experience. Well done to the devs on this one.
