Ratings and reviews

I've been a loyal customer since 1st Jan 2024. but I think this app is going from bad to worse. Recently the app has become more buggy. it crashes often & whenever you click on the chevron above your holding amount to change percentage to amount or vice versa sometimes you look at the stock and see profit before market opening (10 percent) and later when market opens you see the amount has become 2 percent. but the sick price hadn't changed. there are huge calculation mistakes in the app

At first the App was working great with no issues. last month I encourted an issue with the stocks graph. Pointing anywhere on any stock graph for a short or a long duration; no longer changes the value of the stock, insted it only shows the current price of the stock. I contacted the suppprt team several times over the past weeks and still no solution was given nor the promised update to fix this issue has been released. 👎🏻

Why your team said they fixed the auto DRIP as the dividend weren't automatically reinvested and until now it's still not working, and recently the app is full of bugs and not working properly, the chat team isn't answering or when they answer they just said we will update you shortly and never update. I want someone to answer me urgently otherwise I won't use this app ever again and I'll escalate.
