### 4/5 — Almost there

*2020-06-08, version 2.58.1*

The app works well and appears to be improving. I use it a few times every week & experience very little frustration. I actually like the app better than the web interface in several ways. A couple of small quirks keep it from a 5 star rating (how to change # of options to trade in a vertical?) but I suspect these will eventually be resolved. One of my most used apps.

### 4/5 — Apps is good but.....

*2019-12-22, version 2.51.2*

I wish the let you know how many day trades you have left like TD Ameritrade

### 4/5 — Great app

*2019-12-10, version 2.51.2*

Just wish we could use the app to transfer money into my trading account (ACH). But watching my trades is great. And buying and selling usually works fast.

### 4/5 — Getting better but still needs improvement.

*2019-08-29, version 2.51.2*

I’ve been using both the Web app and mobile app for about four years now.  Easy enough to use with some exceptions.  The most annoying and most serious for me, mainly with the iOS mobile app, is connectivity with their server/network where you can’t enter or exit a trade in timely manner on occasion.  Only other request is to make it easier and more intuitive to place and reverse spreads!  Would also like an Options Watchlist -  not just stock watchlist.
Other than that,  it’s ok to use.

### 4/5 — Great for start

*2019-03-30, version 2.33.2*

Improvements are needed.

### 3/5 — Position Data will not load

*2017-01-12, version 2.27.3*

I wanted to give this app a five star but the position Data refused to load on my iPhone 7 plus

### 5/5 — Great platform and fees!

*2016-10-03, version 1.3*

This is the best and most affordable options platform and company!  Backed by Regal, this is a great options trading idea!

### 1/5 — The worst

*2024-11-04*

Multiple problems. For many months the application freezes up. Probably do 500 uninstall and reinstall just to get it going again. The cancel all tab hardly ever works. Even if it works, it is slow. Money transfers are unable. I have problems on all devices except laptop.

### 1/5 — Can't use paper trading on here

*2024-04-18, version 2.66.11*

I downloaded this app to practice my options trading skills with virtual money first. I've attempted to trade with the paper option many times but always get a message that the option isn't available. 

Maybe it's a good app for other uses but not the one I'm looking for.

### 1/5 — Needs improved

*2023-10-16*

My watchlist and quotes often do not load the information. Would like to also see some features that we’ve all has to look at different areas that are graphs and information of sectors in the market. Place in dual orders like we will all those. Where are you can set your stop loss and sell limit with just one click.

### 1/5 — Paper trading doesn’t work

*2021-08-04, version 2.63.3*

You can’t use paper trading it always says option not available try again later and no one knows how to fix it.. very frustrating since no other paper trading accounts trade options

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2020-08-10*

The app only works if you have a live account so pretty much you can’t paper trade without a real account

### 1/5 — App crashes all the time

*2018-03-14, version 2.32.3*

Ever since I updated the app a couple of months ago it constantly crashes. Maybe it's because I haven't updated my iOS....either way, I wish it would run like it use to 😕

### 2/5 — App keeps crashing, and freezes up

*2024-12-17, version 2.66.11*

This app has been steadily getting worse the last few months. Sometimes it loads, and then freezes ip.  Sometimes it just crashes every time you start it. 

When it's working, it's great.  Just can't get it to work lately. 🤷🏽‍♂️

### 2/5 — No options on watchlist

*2017-06-15, version 2.28.3*

Bizarre!!!   The name of the Company is eOption, but you can't add Options to the watchlist, only stocks... wth???   Very friendly app.  But lacking functionality for options trades.  The app also won't let you put two orders in on the same stock.  Example. If you put a stop loss you can't put a limit order in to sell at your profit price.  ( Bracketed orders). These are two very basic functions all traders need.  

If they add the functionality for those items without loosing anything else I'd give it 4-5 stars.

### 3/5 — Loved paper trading until recent update

*2022-06-07, version 2.66.3*

Adding on to my last review because I get a fresh screen.  I’m using an IPhone 12 by the way, not like my phone is that outdated.  I should be able to get a fresh screen, so consider this another issue.   

I wanted to also report that the stock search appears to not be working well.  I searched for Jet Blue and the stock did not show in the search results, I have a screenshot if you are interested.  I know the ticker exists because I have an open position.   Another frustrating thing that I can’t see an updated quote from my position screen.  

I would love it you just went back about 3 months when everything was working great!   

Having trouble closing orders. It used to work great, I just clicked on the open position, selected Close, the app prepared the close trade and all I had to do was modify. Now, I select close and it no longer launches the prepped order screen, it gives me an error saying the limit quant is not filled in. Do then I have to query for a quote, select Trade and manually put in the info. Definitely lost some user friendliness with added steps and feels backwards. Additionally, used to be able to buy and sell, now must sell short and buy to cover, with that change I lost 10 minutes frustrated over why my buy order on my short wouldn’t work… until realized the buy to cover and order went through. I liked it when the app was simple and intuitive. Updates are making it more complicated.

### 3/5 — Needs UI update

*2021-07-29, version 2.63.3*

It not vary user friendly and buggy haven’t seen a update from them

**Developer response:** Hello, we're about to do a major upgrade to the app which we're very excited about. We are adding new features to eOption's mobile app, which include unlimited free research reports from Zacks, ACH transfers, P&L reporting, ability to access your statements and more. These updates will take effect this month.

*2019-10-03, version 2.51.2*

Amazing platform for Options Trading. Easy to use. All the needed info at your fingertips.

### 5/5 — Great for basics

*2019-03-11, version 2.33.2*

Great app for basic functions and keeping track of account activity intra-day. Especially useful when paired with entering positions and putting in temporary orders on the desktop, then modifying or closing out positions at an optimal time using the phone while in my  daily travels. Keep those improvements coming!

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2018-07-13, version 2.33*

Great app, it is regularly updated and improved. Great company with super customer service. If you trade mainly options, this app (and company) deserve at least a look.

*2016-12-15, version 2.27.3*

Updates working, thanks for the quick fix!

I still really want to see option Greeks on the mobile app (like on the site)

**original review*Does what I need it to do, offers Touch ID, not a lot to say, really, other than I like it and use it.
