User reviews

Not ideal

Wonky pricing info…. Creaky trading platform…. I don’t want to have to call when the app and website are not functioning - too often. Not ideal.

Avoid

The app throws error messages constantly, and is missing basic functionality such as reading messages. Avoid

Stock issues

There have been some detailed issues with the share displays (complaint rejected, ts&cs say they don't guarantee it will work!) but the main problem is that Charles Stanley Direct does not get itself on the subscriptions list for new stock issues by smallcaps, eg Gelion @15p, now 21p to buy.

Not great

Stupid app wipes login credential every time it updates and login credentials are not saved in passwords.

Had to do password recovery multiple times as a result. Will be moving away from them as a result.

Now will not load my account

For some years this app gave me the basic information I wanted. Now it just hangs on loading my data so is of no use at all. The two stars are for the past.
