### 4/5 — Simple to use but buggy

*2024-03-07*

I’ve loved the simple set up process of the app but it keeps showing a negative cash balance even though it doesn’t apply. The pending balance is also an amount that I don’t understand. These inaccuracies have made it harder to know what balances and purchasing power I actually have. 

Can we also get this and the eToro stock app with dark mode?  🫶

### 3/5 — Not great for fast order entry/execution

*2022-12-12, version 4.0.1*

There are way too many screens to scroll through to get to order entry.
Ticker->Option Type->Expiration->Order type. 
Then if you choose limit order you have to use a scroll or tap mechanic to enter your execution price. Not ideal if the price you want is further away from current bid/ask, especially lower because it seems price choices are limited. 
By the time you finally get everything entered prices may have changed for better or worse. 
So far I’ve noticed folks are fairly slow as well.  If these things aren’t a dealbreaker then this app is straight forward enough to use but otherwise I’d go with a different brokerage app

### 3/5 — Good for the basics

*2022-03-24, version 3.0.5*

After a week or so using. The app is definitely glitchy. When you click on a stock and view it’s price, the price is always glitched to where you can barley read it and the app does crash quite frequently when trying to navigate thru selections. A little hard to navigate as well but other than that, it’s solid. Gets the job done but would not recommend for new option traders.

**Developer response:** Hi JB0927x, thanks so much for the feedback, we've relayed this to our product team. We welcome any other comments or suggestions you may have! You can send them to us at support@trygatsby.com - we're here if you need us!

### 1/5 — ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*2022-03-10, version 3.0.5*

Pretty Disappointed. its okay for those brand new to options. i thought that a platform with solely option trading abilities would be really cool but this app is super slow to place trades. Too many screens, the way you select the date and strike on a different screen is pretty annoying. Why dont you just display a chain?? Thats the best way to view options. Takes way too long to scalp or make lots of trades. The scroll to find your limit price is absolute trash!! Cost me a lot of money today fumbling through orders. There needs to be a quicker way to place these trades somehow for me to want to stay. Just deposited and I think I might withdraw before I make my first trade.

**Developer response:** Hi Cbryan14, thanks so much for the feedback, we've relayed this to our product team. In an effort to simplify the options trading experience, Gatsby has avoided showing options chains. That said, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team if there's a specific feature you'd like in the app at support@trygatsby.com - here if you need us!

### 2/5 — Good app but be careful

*2022-01-28, version 2.36.9*

It’s a good app to trade options on but of course your not going to get the best fills at times. It also has a HUGE problem with it bugging out and not picking the correct contract You want to get into, for example today I wanted to enter a contract for next week expiration which I picked, but once I went to buy,it had changed the expiration on me to same day and made me lose some money just because the app bugged out and decided to pick a expiration I didn’t even choose

**Developer response:** Hi, we are sorry that you're having issues with the app. Can you write to us at support@trygatsby.com? We'll be happy to look into this for you!

### 3/5 — Questions

*2021-09-24, version 2.34.7*

Just curious when this app will make credit spreads available? Also would be nice if you guys updated the app to where we could roll our options out, up or down. That would really help to manage risk when the asset moves against us. Anyways just my thoughts. Great app.

### 5/5 — Best Options Trading Platform Out There!!

*2021-09-14, version 2.33.7*

Gatsby is truly one of the best options trading platform around.  The interface is smooth and super user friendly.  The new features “Drafts” and the Options Matrix are hands down genius!!  Keep up the GREAT work guys 👍🏼👍🏼 excited for what’s new is on the horizon!

**Developer response:** Hey GetMaRc thanks so much for the kind review! We've passed your suggestions/feedback along to the team, if there is anything else we can do don't hesitate to reach out at support@trygatsby.com - here if you need us

### 5/5 — Stellar trading app

*2021-06-15, version 2.28.5*

The simplicity in the UI is exactly what I’m looking for in a platform. I want to know exactly what my prices are and how much things will cost me. Bravo guys!

### 5/5 — intuitive and clean interface

*2021-05-16, version 2.26.4*

easy to use and is fast. good execution and responsiveness. much better than RH

### 5/5 — Good experience - worth using

*2021-05-13, version 2.26.4*

Once set up it’s been a good experience. Some market volatility but enjoy using the app! One of the better apps I’ve used for options trading. Would recommend.
