The latest on the rollout

Lucky you, Iā€™m an R3 investor and I steadily slip down the list. Currently now at 1910 from 1884 a couple of days ago!!

Iā€™m an R2 and R3 and Iā€™m sat near to 12400 :sob:

Currently at 1069. Iā€™m R3, have referred 4 people, received two invitations (from Viktor and Alex) but must twiddle my thumbs until the Android roll out! :sweat_smile::sob:

We work Monday to Friday at the moment. Hereā€™s how we process transfers -

deposits are processed during working hours (9am-6pm, Mon-Fri), in batches

the full details are here.

Our cash deposit process currently involves some manual intervention, to bridge the gap between the legacy banking data we are reliant on and our systems, and so isnā€™t as fast as weā€™d like.

This part is interestingā€¦ sounds blog worthy.
In terms of speed, I agree it isnā€™t ideal but isnā€™t much of a problem as you can only do anything meaningful with your deposits during market open hours anyway. With this being said, itā€™d be nice if deposits could eventually begin processing at 8am to match the marketā€™s opening hour.

Thought this might be useful feedback to provide. Had to log out of my iCloud and that reset all my apps. Logging back in was seamless - which often isnā€™t the case with finance apps so was pleasantly surprised

Wanna pass me youā€™re invite

:rofl:

Iā€™ve slipped yet again to 1932!!

Sorry, my invite has already gone to a happy iPhone owner! :roll_eyes:

Iā€™ve dropped to 1090 nowā€¦

Youā€™re dropping?! Itā€™s amazing how I keep getting further and further away:expressionless:

Donā€™t forget that thereā€™s other users who are recommending Freetrade to their friends & getting bumped up the list.

Iā€™ve been fortunate enough to be given super early testing access, super exited. Heres the butā€¦I have Andrpid but can use my wifeā€™s iphone. Question is once I set up the account via iphone, can I still use the same account on my Android when it eventually rolls out? Thanks!

Thanks for telling me something I already know!!
Not helpful when R3 investors are slipping further away from using a product theyā€™ve invested in!!

Is tomorrow the weekly rollout to more users?

Hey Richard, R3 investors who invested a certain amount (if I remember correctly, it was Ā£500) get absolute priority over any referrers, straight after R1 and R2.

Moreover, @Freetrade_Team has said that R3 investors still will get a significant queue jumps regardless of the amount invested:

Ignoring that queue number for the time being may help. After all, it is still early testing and as you can see (i.e. not related to the queue position but manually selected based on the backgrounds), there are a few areas to improve. You just will be lucky not to experience all the issues other users have gone through and reported recently :slight_smile:

Super excited to receive the early testing invite today - 18 months of waiting since the R2 investment is finally over! For those who are concerned about dropping down the waiting list, I fell from around 2k to 3.3k prior to receiving the email today, so donā€™t lose faith, launch is arriving in earnest now!

How many more investors are there to roll out to before you get to the poor souls like me who arenā€™t investors but still think you guys are awesome?

Todayā€™s the start of the Early Access phase, from our plan for the rollout :tada:

Weā€™re also going to add another 200 users to the app later today, on top of the roughly 150 thatā€™re set up already.

So weā€™re getting there :chart_with_upwards_trend: But you wonā€™t see your position in the app moving up the waitlist yet - weā€™re working to get that set up now.

Itā€™s also worth mentioning that we still consider this as ā€˜betaā€™ testing for the app - we know that thereā€™s still bugs that need fixing. The good news is that we had a new iOS engineer who started this week to help with that.
