Very buggy app that blows up my phone with notifications. Since I made picks for March Madness, it decided to send me both a "your pick went down" and "+1 for your pick" notification" for every game of the tournament regardless of whether I made a pick on the game or not. they need to fix this. I'm switching to JexTrade since it doesn't have these issues.

Attempting to fill out my ncaa men's bracket. It will not let me complete 63 picks. When I get to the 37th pick it only registers 36 for example. I have to go back to fill in a pick that the app decided to uncheck for some reason. I have gotten as close as 61 picks out of 63. I have tried probably 40 times to complete it. Anyone else having this happen?

The user interface is really poor. The app frequently shows very delayed data, which means that the client has a massive disadvantage in live events like sports. Live events are the most widely traded, so the app is close to worthless because of the disadvantage that it forces on clients. Adjusting trade quantity or price has no up and down arrows, has no default quantity setting, and has no setting to default at a price where fee will not be $0.02. This transaction fee is very high.
