Leave a Review StreetSmart Mobile
TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED!!!
With a name like Charles Schwab a person would think that they would have produced a streamlined and beautiful app for everyone to use but this is anything but that!!! Horrible interface, login is clunky and the whole experience is frustrating. I really do wish that they put more time and effort into quality apps for us to use!Show lessabnmi
Misleading app name
This apparently is not a mobile version of StreetSmart Edge. I was excited to be able to use my mobile device to access my conditional trades… but surprise, when trying to login I get a puzzling message and can’t login. After wasting time I discover this is apparently a different, or limited, trading platform than StreetSmart Edge. Poor app description.Show lessjon_100_215
So far so good
I typically use a desktop to trade and cell phone to monitor positions. I didn’t know this app existed, but when I wanted to see futures the regular Schwab app required me to install this. I typically don’t I stall apps with this many negative reviews, but I noticed most of them were years old.
As I have only used it a day, I don’t have a total picture but I have traded on it without it crashing, used charts, looked up options, moved between several different accounts and so far, so good.
If it becomes unreliable, I wil update the review. Otherwise, feel sure that I am still enjoying it.Show lessmikellbl
An awful experience
I rarely leave reviews, but the experience with StreetSmart Mobile is so awful that it warrants one.
The application is nowhere as functional and useable as the mobile offerings from TD Ameritrade (thinkorswim) or IBKR (TWS). The graphs don’t support indicators. The trading ticket is very basic and doesn’t support more complex orders like one-triggers-OCO. And forget about tracking PnL correctly on Futures products.
One hopes that Schwab wraps up the integration with TD Ameritrade soon, brings over thinkorswim to support their accounts, and nukes StreetSmart Mobile from orbit.
PS: All of this is such a departure from the regular Schwab Mobile app, which is excellent for what it is meant to do.Show lessSavvy Investor 117
Cannot use with cash account?
Apparently one can only use this app with margin/futures account. If you have a cash account only you won’t even be able to open it. That’s absurd, Schwab needs a decent all around mobile trading app...Pax Orbis
Managed expectations
The app works well enough for my situation. I only use the app for order entry . One major improvement would be a dark mode! It’s all white, at 5am with screen brightness all the way down.... ouch .dont£want€8#|ckname
Unstable and Clunky
This is the only Schwab iOS app to trade futures.
Multiple clumsy steps to get option quotes. Crashed a few times. Difficult to compare option strikes. Placing a limit order was clumsy especially with a volatile security.
The missed position entries and exits are not worth it. This whole app should be scrapped.Show lessitguy24
Terrible. Use interactive brokers
Awful. Data stream is choppy. App constantly has bugs pulling up contracts. Fill notifications are late. Frankly I am going to pull money from Schwab. So sick of this trash application crashing constantly and not allowing me to enter trades. They have had long enough to figure it outbearcats5
Schwab’s Audience ...
I have for a short time used CW’s website, street smart app and the Schwab app, all three are not in my opinion active trader friendly. I think Schwab is looking for more casual/less frequent traders. ThinkOrSwim is light years better than this. Don’t even try to get a good entry through the website it takes forever just to enter a bid. I’ll be moving to another broker soon, hopefully these guys work their backend to work with TOS. In my opinion their software presents to much risk in just executing a trade.Show lesspcxmac
Misleading app
Based on the name, you’d think it’s a mobile version of the desktop Street Smart software, right? Instead, it’s an unrelated options-only program that doesn’t even work until you call tech support to get signed up, and provides little of the same functionality as Street Smart. Which is also the name of this mobile app.Show less@J11D
