Ratings and reviews

As a brokerage it's great, no complaints, but as I'm not a trader and just buying to invest it's a bit harder for me to use than Wealthsimple. e.g. needing to deposit money via e-transfer when my main bank isn't supported for the Flinks application they use to move the money, needing to input a trading password to buy ETFs, and not being able to buy fractional shares.

While the app is prettier than the previous one, it just has absolute terrible functionality. It is more concerned with making a pretty graph of my previous month then allowing me to see detailed information about my accounts. I have to click through several screens and really dig just to find out how much cash I have or to see a transaction history. I expected more, a lot more from the app redo. Instead I got less information, less useful information, and useless graphs.

Edit: the problem was my account was not active. Problem solved. Good app, just wish it had a live tracker. Tickers function, but I can't see my graphs in real time. Once the app opens it shows a server error exception, and I am unable to use the program. It does not load my account, does not load trackers, and this error is present in all screens. So far, unusable.
