NOT very user friendly. I agree with others that have said the same. I got into using it due to xrp . I applaud Uphold for not delisting it. Plus I could get some alts that weren't available on CB. But! This is definitely not my go to app . It's very confusing, difficult to send,transfer, etc. I shouldn't have to go with a YouTube video to figure out how do do certain things. I would like to use Uphold please keep it simple! You are the most difficult to use of any exchange

Very easy, streamlined app that simplifies cryptocurrency transactions. Many listed coins to buy. However, one thing puzzles me. When I buy altcoins, the price per coin is always higher than the current market (even when the coin price is dipping). It's like Uphold is stacking unknown fees on top. Otherwise, it does what I need it to do so far. UPDATE: It appears Uphold charges a spread during times of extreme volatility, which must be every day I execute a transaction.

They say "no fees" but the buy rates are 2.5% higher than market and sell rates are 2.5% lower than market and other apps from what I can tell. They should just be transparent. My first transaction went through, but I placed a later transaction that disappeared from my account. Rates should also auto refresh on a trade app, but they don't. Setup is quick with instant transfers.
