MEGATHREAD: Free Share updates and feedback 🎟

If it helps reduce spamming on social media it’s fine

My link doesn’t include my name - does that mean it’s not really multi-use?

Thanks for the feedback @Eden and @Preischel! We chose to personalise the referral link as we wanted to add a nice touch to the referral’s experience when you’re referring your friend. It’s also quite common with referral programs. We’ll monitor the feedback on this though.

Most likely - make sure to update your app to have the new link:

iOS: 3.2.8
Android: 1.0.13966

I updated to the latest version 20 mins ago before creating the link, but it said V 3.2.7!

Refreshed app store and 3.2.8 came up, and it now looks correct.

Cool, good idea for referring friends only but if choose to share on social media no so for me as I rarely use my real name on social media. Either way, great to have this feature as it was a pain generating individual links lol

The play store has an older version. When will this be updated?

Still shows the previous version in my app store too. I think potentially Google takes a little time to roll out new updates to everyone. I’ll check back tomorrow.

Whenever google decide you should get it. It usually takes a short time as they enable it across their platform. Google never seems to show the update to everyone at the same time.

It would be good if freetrade could put the APK on their website, @RenataL do you think that would be possible?

Generally this is a bad idea, you lose a number of layers of security, analytics, you increase risk of malware packed apks, and you encourage people to weaken the security of their device.

it doesnt take that long on the play store anyway. i think it was only up yesterday

If you’re downloading directly from freetrade I dont see how it would be malware. And I’m sure they get analytic data from their website too

Having an apk to download from freetrade isnt malware, but it sets a precedent for distributing freetrade apks, they’ll start showing up elsewhere on the internet uncontrolled and may be modified. having apks also encourages the option of weakening the persons OS security.

sideloading apks are still androids biggest weakness and its largest target for malware.

Got a notification saying I got a freeshare coming, so I had a look at the links feature too see who signed up, turns out this freeshare is coming from someone who signed up from link way back in July and just deposited now. thought that was kinda cool :eyes:

That’s interesting, I thought there was a month cut off to deposit into their account?

I could be so wrong actually, but saw the notification this morning and checked the links and this was there? happy to be corrected

Hey @Freetrade_Team, I’ve got a quick question regarding this promo.

I’ve had a friend just sign up & deposit into his GIA (before the deadline) but as it’s the weekend his top-up won’t clear in his account until earliest Monday 8am latest right? Will we both be still eligible for the give away?

I wonder how your friend’s user number would look like in a certain thread :wink:
