I really liked the app at first. However support for the app is not even close to ideal. A phone number would be great to contact. However I made two transfers from my bank to the app but they said it timed out. However the transfer still got charged from my account. So even now […]

Trying to withdrawl my “withdrawable funds” and I can’t. Everytime I try it says “bank rejected” I have tried reloading bank info and used a different account and still nothing. I called my bank and they said they haven’t gotten anything to reject. Holy cow! I am definitely starting to feel like this app is […]
This app is terrible. I can’t do anything because it keeps giving me a “connection reset” error. I have reset my phone, force closed the app, and recently uninstalled and reinstalled. Since reinstalling, I can’t even open the app because it keeps closing itself. I bought a few stocks when I first downloaded the app […]
public is a huge downgrade from robinhood. UI is very similar, but the quality of the UI is terrible. I placed a limit order for an options contract. I click edit and get to the edit screen to change the price of my limit order. I GOT TO THE SCREEN TO EDIT, but somehow the […]
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. Financial fundamentals are something people should not be paying for. All brokers should offer those for free as a convenience to their customers. The data […]
I tried to create an account , was very excited to try your platform. I went through the questions and set up my debit card, address etc… and 4 times in a row went through the whole thing made a 5 dollar deposit and got booted out every time and still says I have to […]
Changing my review from 5 π to 1 π. Changed bank accounts so they locked me out when it left a 15$ balance, I took care of that as soon as it posted. So for 15$ (my fault I get that) but was paid as soon as notified, I now cannot trade for a week. […]
Can no longer login as of a couple weeks ago. It used to log me in automatically, then one day it asked for my email and password. So I let autocomplete do it’s thing. “An error occurred” so I typed in the password directly. “An error occurred” so I pressed “forgot password” and reset it […]
Overall it’s a good app. I like the idea of easy bond buying but stock and especially options trading have a long way to go and be more fluid. Most of the time customer service is helpful. Proceed with caution if you want to do options trading on this platform. As of writing my issue […]
Love the fact that they don’t use darkpools. But the app is not fun to use at best and has bugs at worst. Example: the graph default for your current value is 1 day and it takes so long to load other scales that it’s difficult to wait. You almost want to leave your phone […]
I agree with other comments about subtle fees. Whenever I go to purchase crypto it’s always a % more than what’s displayed. You could argue that the price difference is due to it not being a “live” price, and that the price you get when you purchase IS the LIVE price, but if that were […]
Stock graphs lack a y-axis tick marks to denote price, a basic component of any graphing application. How do you judge the value of a stock without reference to its historical long-term pricing?? This app is missing the most basic financial graphs. If you are looking for a very, very, very basic financial application for […]
That is really the worst app for trading ever!!!! You can easy deposit your money there but you can’t withdraw it back! When you push on “withdraw money” it says “we couldn’t verify your bank” and it doesn’t give you any options further. I ordered transfer to my Webull account but after almost 3 weeks […]
First best thing; they’re not robinhood. Second, they allow you to buy GME and AMC, just gives you a little warning that it’s volatile, but other than that they actually let you make your purchases and don’t hinder you. Only problem is their system, at times it freezes, either the app or browser does. it […]
I’m new to this app and may update my review as I learn more. So far, I like the interface, but am hoping for more features. I find it difficult to buy stocks in full shares rather than fractional shares by dollar amount. Somehow, I accidentally DID successfully buy a whole share once, but couldn’t […]
Charts display incorrectly. Eg When you tap 3 months but you’ve had the app for only a few days. It also will show like you made $1300 in a day when it was $300. I think it’s counting a Pending Deposit as a return. They don’t have Multi-Factor Authentication. When you withdraw it just says […]
It’s a great platform. One of the more polished ones I came across looking for a new brokerage. Unfortunately they don’t allow you to transfer an existing account in from another brokerage. Probably so they don’t have to pay the transfer bonus. Tried multiple times with three different accounts. They all fail. Public said it […]
I’ve reviewed several trade apps and this one is the most simple to set up and organized to go straight to what your looking for with information on trends and recent publications of the product in the news. It list pros and cons; as well as, if you should buy it, not buy it or […]
I used to love this app. When I first got it in 2020, it was billed as the “Social Network” of beginner stock trading apps. Over time, everything that made it an interesting and good app for those just starting out, like the social aspect (talking to other users), buying small slices of a share, […]
Stay away if you day trade! the basic chart is accurate. I purchased the premium account to access advanced charting. The chart is 1hr 18min behind actual time. Contacted them over a month ago, and still the same. Stay away from their high interest rate savings. They keep it a week b4 you can transfer […]
