Accelerating? I can only see this as good news. Excited to get my hands on the app.

Seeing the person who has shaped the original (arguably the most difficult part of the product creation) technology leaving is sad to an extent. Great to have new passionate people like Ian and future potential engineers in the team, but said at the same time to see others go.
Wish @Andre all the best in his future progress and believe he will be missed.

These are difficult decisions to make and sometimes incredibly frustrating (loads of pressure), so I congratulate @adam and the whole team at Freetrade for staying nimble and making these important shifts, Iām sure there will still be many to come. Itās an amazing learning experience with incredible ups and downs, but the most important thing is to learn, look forward and drive through.

Please reassure me that you are not chasing perfection, I would rather a functional product was available that can be improved over time than wait for never for the perfect thing.
Just playing Devilās advocate.

Hey Stephen, donāt worry, this isnāt the case.
We definitely agree perfect is the enemy of the good and shipped is more important than perfection.
This about finalising small but necessary pieces to ensure the product stays strong in the hands of more users and to set ourselves up to upgrade quickly.

Thatās right. This is more about operational quality than aiming for product perfection. Making sure we always know whats happening and why, rather than achieving product perfection.

Are Freetrade at liberty to divulge anymore than this footnote? Was the parting mutual, amicable and expected? Whatās his next move? Is it possible to have a parting blog from him? etc.
Iāve commented prior in this forum that Andre was someone whose (Freetrade) story Iād like to have heard more of so itās quite abrupt to see him leave/replaced suddenly.
I equally look forward to Ianās blog once settled in.

Sure there will be more to share in the future but keep in mind that not everyone wants to discuss everything in a public forum and/or blog.
Me too!

These people will be a handful of forum leads, early investors and super active community members - basically people whoāll be happy to give us huge amounts of feedback.
Weāll move past this stage as soon as weāre confident we can onboard more though.

Exciting times, but do you have an idea when the Android rollout will begin? Even a rough time frame, such as 2018? And when Freetrade first launches, will ISAs be available?

Hey - weāll update more on Android soon. Right now our focus is shipping the MVP! However, weāre hankering to accelerate Android soon as we can - lots of our community and team use it.
Re ISAs, we wonāt have them ready at launch but are working hard on them as a priority feature.

Finally we have a clear date o the rollout , I can almost smell the app now 
With all the market volatility lately im even considering liquidating my investments and sitting on the sidelines until Freetrade is ready to use.
