I also cannot use any function, search doesn’t work. Crypto is not working at all and I can’t even trade it. It’s crazy at this point, I have had so many issues, normal desktop version to. ### 1/5 — Login *2024-03-17* When I’m trying to login it doesn’t even do anything it just keeps lagging and just doesn’t let me in ### 1/5 — Sign in step freezing. *2023-12-26* After very buggy registration step, sign in page gets stuck. I wish I can deregister but it seems I can’t. ### 1/5 — There is no way to login *2023-09-27* The all just says “unable to authenticate user” with the exact credentials used in a web browser. Quite frustrating ### 1/5 — what works? besides nadda *2023-07-14* constant support emails… these clowns have NO CONCEPT of quality at all. type in btc and poof - screen goes blank thats how bad these clowns code + qa. had to point this insane flaw out. along w ever single step… requiring support tickets they pushed a bunch of howtos w a hot chic… why not just have quality dev? nahhhh. total garbage ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2023-05-31* The website credentials work but the app won’t allow it. Can’t even login via this app. ### 1/5 — "Unable to authenticate user" *2023-03-20* Did this app just steal my alpaca credentials? Is it even legit? To devs: looks like long passwords with special characters work fine on firefox desktop but in these apps and mobile the same password returns a "401" error. FYI. You have frontend filtering consistency issues. ### 1/5 — Is this a joke? *2022-12-18, version 1.1.2* Did the devs take a looks at basic finance apps? My equity went up 3,700% in one day? This is the problem with Alpaca - they play fast and lose with data. For instance, when compared to tradingview and polygon the Alpaca bar data is different. Apparently others say it also doesn’t match Yahoo’s data. No amount of emails to support will get an answer to why this is or if somehow I am doing something wrong and what I need to do to fix it. ### 1/5 — Only works with US banks *2022-11-24, version 1.1.2* They never mention this explicitly, but the app won’t connect to any non-US bank. Some notice would be nice, given you have users all over Europe. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Looks promising for only being 4 updates in *2022-05-28, version 1.0.4* The website still has more features and data so I don’t use this yet, but I hope to see continued updates. **Developer response:** We are working around the clock to improve your trading experience with Alpaca, and bring the features you need to your phone. Keep an eye out for updates! Thank you for being an Alpaca user :) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-05-20, version 1.0.4* A beautiful tool to monitor my account performance and make quick trades on the go. **Developer response:** Thank you! We have a lot more features coming your way to make your trading experience even better! ### 3/5 — Access token expires all the time *2024-03-11* App design and features are acceptable, but it is really annoying having to close and reopen the app, set 2factor auth code every single time. Aparently sometimes your OAuth2 refresh token automatically refresh the access token, but most of the time I have to close the app and start the OAuth flow from scratch. ### 2/5 — No way to use paper account on mobile *2023-07-06* The app is very minimalistic and incomplete even... paper trading is not supported which is arguably one of Alpaca's biggest strengths for algo traders whom are validating strategies. ### 2/5 — Broken *2023-01-11, version 1.1.2* Yeah this app really needs a lot of bug fixes. Not dependable yet ### 2/5 — stop working *2022-05-28, version 1.0.4* first day login looks quite impressive looking. Second day it stopped working. “an unexpected refresh token is missing” **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We are aware of this bug and we are pushing a couple of fixes for that. Please keep the app updated to have this issue resolved. As always you can contact support@alpaca.markets with any issues related to the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
