Description
Been using Public – Stocks and Options for a couple months now. It’s basically a trading app where you can invest in stocks, options, bonds, and crypto. Pretty solid if you’re into that kinda thing.
Here’s what you do: you can build up your portfolio, transfer accounts, and earn a 1% match when you move over your investments. There’s also the option to invest in an IRA and get a 1% match on your contributions – that’s pretty cool. And you can use the app to trade options, which I’ve been messing around with. Took me a while to figure that part out but it’s useful.
Look, if you’re into personal finance and investing, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the app can be a little glitchy sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to manage your money in one place.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on Public – Stocks and Options. I've tested a bunch of investing and trading apps, and this one's pretty solid overall. The interface is clean and easy to use, and there's a good amount of functionality without being overwhelming. The ability to trade stocks, options, and other assets in one place is really handy. And
That said, it does have a few issues. The options trading can be a bit confusing to set up, and I've noticed some occasional crashes and glitches. And the ads can get pretty annoying if you don't want to pay for the premium version. But overall, it's a pretty good app if you're looking to manage your investments on the go.

Buggy. Can't get rid of notifications. Applications don't submit properly, and the app blames my poor connection, which is simply not the case. Otherwise, it's a decent experience for retail....
