Description
Come join us at Rise London to hear from our Head of Design James Storer, whoāll share how we designed the Freetrade app, along with some previews of our Android app, just before itās launched.
Thereās no need to be a Freetrade user to come along - anyone whoās hearing about us for the first time is super welcome!
Just received the below email
Hi Marcus
Hereās the activity feed of Sharon, one of our designers:
The rollout is starting at the end of this month.
As an Android user, I couldnāt be more excited.
Weāll share all the details soon!

App update
Itās now ā99% Readyā ā¦ Well howās about I tear it down and see how true this is (it was a 4.2MB update so Iām sure there will be a further update before the actual app arrives but Iāll double check anyway )
Canāt wait
I donāt have the previous APK to compare with, Dāoh!
But thankfully that doesnāt affect what I have found within the latest update
I wonāt use the word readyā¦ But itās certainly not completely unfinished
Thereās some strings below which look quite important to the day-to-day operation of the app
<string name="account_available_to_invest">Available to invest</string>
<string name="account_bank_text">ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ %1$s</string>

That linkās run out of magic, please re-enter your email address to get a new link and recast the spell.
The devs over at Freetrade have a sense of humour
You have no idea how much i was looking forward to you doing to Freetrade what you do to Monzo every week
Prepare for a great deal of teardowns then Iāll be doing it for every* single update after today
I canāt wait to see Freetrade grow and start smashing out innovative new changes Iāll start a separate thread for the next update (hopefully itāll be the first fully-functional Android release )
*this isnāt a challenge for Freetrade to release several updates daily to see if I can keep up
Oh just noticed thereās a dividend string. Nice. Hope thatās going to be an entry on the activity feed
Thereās loads of interesting strings but it wouldāve been an incredibly long post if Iād have pasted them all
Paste the really interesting ones then
Looking forward to seeing what you uncover.
Post the strings on Github Gist
We finished work on the last feature in the Android app today, just a few finishing touches left to add
How long till we find out who made the first 100
I bet I was a little late to get into the first 100. I had a meeting and did not see the email.
Think I was the 22rd person to sign it so hopefully am one of them
I suspected it would come early so I was watching forum at workā¦
Ah I did not see what place I was. I have been resisting the urge to go out and buy a apple phone just for this 1 app. Glad android is around the corner
