Ratings and reviews

I'm really disappointed with the app. My expectations were much higher. Terrible UX, it's confusing and polluted, the app navigation in the app is slow with lots of loadings and no fluid transitions. About the product itself, also poor. There is no reason to use it in the UK or Europe taking into consideration the other competitors.

Bracketed trades would really be a lifesaver. I don't necessarily want to watch a trade continuously; I'd rather set a stop limit and a take profit limit order on the upside, and check in periodically to make adjustments. This would also help my self-discipline so I don't have to think about it when things start to go downhill! Also, why not have a moving candle on the simple as well as the advanced chart? Easier to see what's going on. Indicators on Legend on laptop tend to obscure candles.

I've been a "free" customer for 5 years. Pros: user-friendly, easy to navigate and invest, you're in control, lots of learning info, and minimal transaction fees (for stocks). Cons: Deleting tickers by accident, advanced charts are less user-friendly than they were, and things are much harder to find. Cash is held for sales on stocks until the next business day. TipRanks should be removed from the news as it's unreadable. Use more free articles.
