MEGATHREAD: Freetrade iPad app

but I’ve just ordered my first iPad (air 2020),

Please can you talk to me about your investment strategies? I think I have a lot to learn.

:rofl: I got my first iPad last year. An iPad Mini 2 with broken power button for :point_right:Ā£50 :point_left: on eBay. I’m in awe of how much better it is than the Android tablets I’ve always used. It’s definitely the halo device that’s going to pull me into the Apple ecosystem.

You have to invest in yourself sometimes :wink: :laughing:

Seriously though, I’ve been after one for ages so I’m very excited to be finally joining the Freetrade iPad users

It’s just no contest isn’t it. I’ve found nothing that even comes close to the iPad. Maybe a surface tablet as a distant second … but that’s a very different use case.

Another request for a specific iPad app, installing the iphone app is a proper pain then to use, even less professional than having no app for iPad.

May now use iPads instead of laptops, it’s surprising to me that Freetrade is one of the very few financial apps not having a specific iPad optimised version.

Agreed, although I do currently think there’s more demand for the Desktop version on the forum. But I can’t see why the iPad app couldn’t have a similar offering to the desktop version

Absolutely, I think developing a good web framework (Electron for example) would actually solve both problems making it available on ipad/desktop/web without much changes.

Adding my voice here because I could not believe when I signed up last year there there was no iPad app at all.
Seems lazy to just expect a portrait phone app to be adequate when all that real estate can be put to good use on an iPad. It’s a no-brainer so I’m hoping it is already in the pipes and they are just honing it’s features.

Apparently there’s a proper iPad app now?

My iPad is currently in for repair, can anyone else confirm this?

I’m hoping there’ll be an official blog or something? Got to shout out about good stuff like this!

I can indeed confirm it! It’ll be rolling out this week to all our users. I hope you enjoy it.

Great news for iOS crowd

Yes.

This is excellent.

Now where’s that m1 version!!! Why is it taking so long

:joy:

Seriously though that’s great. This is one of those things I felt was needed. Bigger screen is more room for more data which isn’t a bad thing and a layout what works on the ipad (and hopefully macs??) is great

great news!

Great news :blush: well done. Can’t wait to try it

+1 for the M1 Mac version!

iPad app looks great though :+1:

Wow there! Don’t get greedy… Android widgets or desktop app next pretty please… spread the love around a bit!

Does look nice though even if I’m not an apple fan, which is promising for other platforms.
