Ratings and reviews

I've been looking at all the diff brokerage apps for mobile and this one is easily in the top 3. Best for beginners because the layout borders on minimalist, but it's actually packed w more than just about any other mobile app out there. Easy layout w a ton of muscle, which has been really helped me get up to speed. Because the BEST part to the IG experience has been it's education section. The best of ANY APP BY FAR. Clear, concise , w a TON of material on every type of market. 5 star.

Everything is great, but it's not perfect. I kinda hope all the courses the website has to offer is in the app too. 5 star if you can add every courses from beginner level to advance level. Oh and it would be fantastic if you can add the ebooks in the app too, even though we can just download it from the website lol. But overall, great app to learn forex

The content via site is explendid but the app doesn't work with my Pixel 6 phone, Android version: 14, I can't log in, After registering, every time I try to log in the system sends me a technical error notification, l e-mailed the helpdesk but eventually in vain.
