Review of Freetrade for Android 😎 (Feedback & Testing)

Thanks for the comprehensive review. At the moment I’m stuck waiting for an email from support because my identity can’t be confirmed.

This will be because I have a CIFAS marker against my address since I have been a past victim of identity fraud.

While the message on screen says that you have been sent an email this doesn’t seem to be the case so automating the process would be good please.

Emailing invites to join the beta well into the working day soon before support goes home doesn’t seem a good idea so as roll out continues please can this be considered?

Hopefully I can photograph my passport and driving licence in App to validate ID without having to post photocopies. It will be good to get the account open before Friday when I’m looking forward to trading.

Had a few issues, but I got it installed, kept saying the magic has died please reenter your email. But working now.

On the portfolio page, it would be nice to have more info, would like to see daily, weekly, monthly
gains and losses as percentage increase and in pounds and pence

Also, not sure why money I am holding as cash is showing in my portfolio total, I think it would be better just to show money I have invested on the portfolio page

need more stocks, wanted to buy some easy jet yesterday, but not available yet

need INSTANT bank transffers, I use sky sport betteing app, any money i move into the sky sport betting app is available to use straight away

Despite my gripes about not being able to open an ISA I’ve bought a few things in the GIA. The app is nice and easy to use. I had one instant order rejected out of 5, but it went through second time, I agree that Instant bank transfers are needed. I topped up last night and I’ve only just got the money to invest a few minutes ago.

I did find myself using other web sites on my desktop to look at charts and financial info. I supposed the problem with mobile is fitting enough info on screen without it being cramped.

Have just submitted my basic first orders.

All seems to have gone through ok - on the Portfolio tab I can see the orders I have made. However, the Portfolio tab constantly now displays the “spinning wheel” above the list of queued orders.

Have tried closing and reopening the app but get the same result.

Hi, sorry to hear that :sweat:, can you buzz us on in-app chat so we can look into this!

Hello guys and thank you for allowing me to test the beta. I just wan to know if any long in options will be added soon. For example on my iPhone I can log in using face ID. On my Samsung I can’t log in using the fingerprint only using a 4 digit code.

Finally on!! Easy enough set up. Nice list of stocks though they seem more for long term investments and I am more into trading a few weekly. Would be nice to see more volatile stocks.
Overall looks good but…I sent a small deposit yesterday around 6pm to just test topping up…is now 4.45 the next day and still hasnt reached. Unsure why, checked all details set up on my bank payee list and all correct. Any advice? Cheers

It’s designed for investors and not traders so you might not get the stocks you want anytime soon.

Did you include the reference? Best to contact in app chat tbh so they can look into it

The portfolio screen is a bit odd.
It shows total balance.
Then a huge blank section.
Then investments.

No graph yet? Have you bought anything?

Yeah i think im going to keep this one for investing and have another account for trading. Keep my options open :slight_smile:
I included reference yes, copied and pasted like it said. I will see how to contact. Thanks

On iOS it’s the little person icon in the top right corner of portfolio page and then the live chat at the bottom of the list. Hopefully it’s similar on android :grimacing:

It’s exactly the same :smiley:

Live Chat is right near the bottom of your profile page :slight_smile:

Managed to have a good play today and got my first buy submitted and processed wee. and a second submitted. Support dealt with all my issues quite quick this morning through the app. Got a feeling I have so far made a very good choice with freetrade and see good things in the future.
