Hi, Iām not sure Iāve seen these two mentioned:
On the portfolio screen at the top is the Freetrade logo and the account icon. The other three tabs donāt have this. When I click on the Freetrade icon nothing happens. Could it hyperlink to something useful like a ārefer a friendā link?
A lot of my stocks are showing red numbers next to them. Iād prefer green.
I think the app is impressively polished for an Alpha/Test flight version.
My advice would be to accelerate (although dependant on authorisation and regulation) as much as possible the roll out of ISA/Freetrade Alpha/Sippās etc. I am sold and would completely move my full Stocks/Shares Balance Sheet to Freetrade.
On another note and I know this was potentially declined when mentioned by the community, but please please please integrate with Monzo and allow me to have āFreetrade Potā, I know there are lots of Monzo staff trying to sign up for this, this to me is a HUGE no brainer. It would also just be phenomenal. Iām not talking particularly advanced integration. Just the ability to see the value of the pot in Monzo.
I only got access to the app today and have made my first few trades. I have a couple of suggestions which I will add to my post as they crop up. Others may have suggested the same so apologies if I repeat anything already requested. In no particular order:
The option to select a particular number of shares (#) rather than an amount (Ā£). Iām a little OCD and like to buy 5 or 10 or 15 shares etc. I had to keep adjusting the amount (Ā£) to get the right number of shares I wanted.
Can companies in Discover also be grouped? So Advertising, Banking, Commodities etc?
The option to watch companies? So have a personal list of companies you want to watch before buying. So rather than having to find them in Discovery each time, have a personal watch list I can check. A bit like Amazonās āWishlistā. Companies to come back and buy later.
The app to link to your community profile so it shares photo and investor badge.
Love the design; itās clean and intuitive. Many thoughts I have are already mentioned by others, though here are some of my initial suggestionsā¦
On the chart view, currently it only shows relative percentage change in price. I think itād also be very useful to be able to see the absolute price of a stock, with the option to toggle between the two measures. Perhaps a scale on the bottom as well?
Understand weāre still in testing phase and not sure if this is a known bug or where to report this. Iāve noticed that the stock movement description under the current price doesnāt always seem to reflect whatās happening on the graph (see below). Would also be useful if this stock movement description changes dependent on the graph time scale.
Very happy to be user #392, got my invite yesterday, set up, loaded money and even made my first trade!
As an iPhone SE user Iām afraid a number of screens look weirdly cluttered, with the greyed-out button often overlaying other content, usually due to the keyboard taking up half the space. I was able to cope, but itās something I think you should look at.
Today I made a queued order (yesterday I paid the Ā£1 for immediate), and my Portfolio page is showing Ā£124.38. Considering Iāve only loaded Ā£100, bought about Ā£50 of shares, and my new queued order is about Ā£25, I think perhaps the calculation is going awry?
Looks great so far! Very happy to be in. One thing Iāve noticed, when you are on the page of a stock, on the graph of performance when you press āmaxā it doesnāt seem to tell you how long that period is. Sorry if this has already been raised!
I thought exactly the same - I think itās good people are raising the same points again - it means free trade have some indication of which things people find most important just by the frequency with which they come up amongst new users.
Iād encourage everyone who hasnāt yet used their votes to head over to the ideas category and cast your vote for the feature you want the most, or add any new ideas you have to that list as well as posting impressions here. There is a discussion there of the Portfolio Chart Design which includes this idea:
Hi #user 466 here. Just got access to the app yesterday and done my first trade
The app looks very slick and I enjoy the UI so far. However I have one suggestion for the monthly statement like to have one tab or section that shows the breakdown of the trades you have made and the breakdown of the fee and stamp duty.
Other than that I quite enjoy my experience with Freetrade so far
Just got access. Really like the UX. Clean, intuitive and easy to use. No bugs to report either and the basic and immediate trades worked. Iām sure the below features/updates are on the roadmap but thought I would share:
Showing the price rather than the % on the share performance graph. Itās very difficult to ascertain how well my portfolio is performing
Being able to click on the graph so we can see what the price was at a given period
Watchlist. Somewhere you can add stocks you want to monitor. Also with an option of seeing the performance of that stock since you added it to the watchlist
The portfolio doesnāt actually seem to tell me if Iām up or down. It would be good to have a monetary figure as well as a %.
Installed app on work phone after Alexās email yesterday (Android user )
Just connected bank account and transferred a little to Freetrade account now waiting for it to show up. It would have been convenient to be able to copy the transfer reference number and on a small screen (iPhone 5) when entering NI number, the screen was bit weird couldnāt see what I was tying.
Just got the good olā āyouāll get it todayā invitation email and found an older iOS device (mainly Android user here!) - I await my proper invite now
