### 2/5 — Version 15.6 login failure

*2026-08-22, version 15.6*

Everything works fine until I was forced to update it to version 15.6 for iPhone. Login screen with correct credentials spins for more than 30 seconds then back to the original loading screen asking for password. Tried three times same result. The same credentials works on full site on my computer. Please fix it! Thanks!!

### 1/5 — Latest update buggy

*2026-08-21, version 15.6*

I can only open this updated app once. Second login produced a spinning circle for several minuted until I delete the app and reinstall again.

### 1/5 — Update doesn’t work

*2026-08-21, version 15.6*

Just updated the app today, 8/21, and now I can’t get into the app at all.  After entering credentials, it takes me to a screen where the loading icon just continually runs in a circle and doesn’t take me to my accounts.  Need ETrade to update this asap and correct.

### 2/5 — Too many required app updates

*2026-08-21, version 15.6*

Updates happen too often and they force me to update. Not good!

### 1/5 — BEWARE

*2026-08-21, version 15.6*

Do not use this app. e*trade will charge you ridiculous operation fees and then sell your stocks without permission to get these fees. Robinhood does not do this. Morgan Stanley/e*trade is a scam.

### 1/5 — Long time user

*2026-08-21, version 15.6*

It has always been sub par compared to the app I use for another popular trading company.  Now I cannot open my account after the last update which it said was required.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-20, version 15.5.1*

Pales in comparison to Robinhood. Nothing is where it needs to be and nothing functions as it ought

### 1/5 — Futures? Portfolio?

*2026-08-17, version 15.5.1*

Why did you remove stock futures??? And why must I now log in to see my watch list??? You are slowly ruining the app

### 3/5 — Automatic Single Stock Purchases

*2026-08-13, version 15.5.1*

Please expand Automatic Investing to individual stocks, with dollar-based fractional purchases and weekly/biweekly/monthly schedules.

### 2/5 — App is broken.

*2026-08-12, version 15.5.1*

I’ve been asking them for five years to fix the app. It says I have half the money that I have in the account when login to the website. 

It’s embarrassing that Morgan Stanley bought them and they won’t fix it.

### 1/5 — ATROCIOUS

*2026-08-10, version 15.5.1*

This app is a liability if you want to manage money or have access to money or have something of security occur. You cannot access security settings online or on the application this company is a joke when managing accounts. PUT MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE

### 1/5 — AH and pre market

*2026-08-10, version 15.5.1*

What happened to the after hours and permanent chart??? After the latest update they’re gone?! What the heck is wrong with these people.

### 1/5 — STAY AWAY

*2026-08-08, version 15.5.1*

‪Worst trading app! Stay away! Execution latency and platform lag are major complaints among active traders on E*TRADE, especially during periods of high market volatility. The platform frequently frustrates day traders and options scalpers.‬

### 3/5 — Options price delays

*2026-08-06, version 15.5.1*

Options prices are delayed. Never was in issue until recently. Makes it impossible to day trade when you don’t know the current, real time bid/ask. I’ve reverted back to using the desktop UI for trading, which isn’t ideal. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Chart

*2026-08-05, version 15.5.1*

Why the app removed the chart for after hours trade? E*Trade is my everyday trading account. It makes me to use other app.

### 3/5 — Can’t see the portfolio view the year to date or 12 month performance

*2026-08-05, version 15.5.1*

It shows total performance in interest rate and dollar form, but it does not show a 12 month performance or a year to date performance. Please at least add the 12 month performance and it would be great to have the year to date also.

### 1/5 — They remove actual traders with an edge

*2026-08-05, version 15.5.1*

Once they realize that you have an actual edge and that you can be consistently profitable, they will ban you without any clear explanation. I guess only the big boys are allowed to have an edge.

### 1/5 — Absolute worst broker by far

*2026-08-04, version 15.5.1*

I’ve never used a worse platform for trading options than this one and I am taking my business elsewhere. It’s really bad. They never fill your orders at the prices shown. They literally steal your money through bid-ask spreads and charge a bunch of hidden fees. This business is literally scam. Their entire business model is stealing your money. Avoid at all costs.

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional

*2026-08-04, version 15.5.1*

App used to be very good. These days, it freezes all the time. Needs to be fixed!

### 1/5 — 15.5.1 doesn’t have after hour quote, chart doesn’t show pre and post market info, just terrible job

*2026-08-04, version 15.5.1*

It’s getting worst for each new revision.

### 1/5 — App won’t log you in

*2026-08-25, version 15.6*

It’s a little concerning when you’re unable to get into the app to do trades. 8/25/26 and I’ve yet to be able to get my portfolio to open up through the app. I can log in through the desktop, but the app continuously spins and never opens up upon logging in.

### 1/5 — New Version Won’t Open

*2026-08-25, version 15.6*

Installed the latest version and it won’t let me sign in, circle just goes round and round until it crashes and closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarted phone, downloaded latest IOS, and still won’t let me log in. What’s up with that? I can’t be the only one this is happening to.

*2026-08-25, version 15.6*

Unable to use

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-08-25, version 15.6*

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-08-25, version 15.6*

Not working. I get one login for newly installed app.  On second attempt, the wheel spins forever

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2026-08-25, version 15.6*

Same problem as others. After recent update app spins at login screen and does nothing.

### 1/5 — Login issues

*2026-08-24, version 15.6*

I’m only able to login once before I get a never ending ring on subsequent login attempts. I end up have to totally uninstall and reinstall for it to allow a login again but then any subsequent attempts I just get a login ring and it never logs back in, what’s up?

### 1/5 — Can’t even log on

*2026-08-24, version 15.6*

Garbage. I mean I can’t even log in but I’m supposed to trust you with my money? HA!

### 1/5 — Recent update bug

*2026-08-24, version 15.6*

Won’t work after recent update. Login would be frozen after first time login.

### 1/5 — Not able to login since upgrading to 15.6

*2026-08-23, version 15.6*

anyone else?
