Ratings and reviews

Update: Push notifications still don't work 2 years later. I prefer to trade on ToS over the TDAmeritrade app, but I've had more than a few issues with notifications either not appearing or arriving on a delay. Customization feels a little clunky too. Overall I would rather have it than not. Trading is a smooth process, which arguably is the most important feature. Generally speaking the app is easy to navigate.

I can't get on the app. It opens to my practice account and shuts down before I can switch to real. It's been Ultra buggy as of late. This has happened on my real too. Love the app but this isn't right. UPDATE.......Still the same problem. Happens switching from paper to real, happens at log in, happens when switching between smaller watchlists after my last conversation with support. Yall have to be missing something in the app.

I've had this app since at least 2018. It's Very slow when when the market gets busy, trades do not get executed promptly, costing me quite a bit of money (thousands, in some single trades). In the last two months (February and March of 2023) The app crashes a minimum of once an hour... I've performed every type of; update, reboot, uninstall-reinstall, etc.. For Android / Samsung / T-Mobile / and Thinkorswim. Nothing has cured the problem. Please fix it, or I may have to go to another platform

What's new

New year. New experiences. New features. Let’s go!

* Order defaults can be set in Order Editor under Settings. These defaults will synch to thinkorswim platforms for a more unified trading experience.
* Optimizations for a better, faster, stronger mobile experience. More to come.

Peace, love, and happy trading.
