### 3/5 — Trade screens blocks chart views.

*2015-03-25*

This application is good, seems slow to logon but then fine once you are in. I would still be using it now if the BUY/SELL screen didn't cover chart my view. I day trade and like to scrape so seeing the chart is important to me at the time I commit to the deal. I would also love to have the option of changing from dark to light colour scheme. The spreads with this compare way better than others I am using but this deal screen covering covering everything I like to see when committing to the deal is preventing me taking advantage of the spreads. Looking forward to the update.

### 4/5 — Very nice

*2014-01-06, version 1.8.0*

I like this interface a lot. Indicators are very clear and easy to use. Very user friendly. I haven't figured out how to show tick volume. Perhaps a FAQ page would be helpful. It has many indicators but I don't see mfi listed. Since I need volume and mfi I'll have to use mt for now.

### 3/5 — Not retina display freeze on execution

*2013-04-12, version 1.6.1*

Fxcm really need to update this app because it freezes when I execute an order. In addition, it's not better than oanda's fx app and it felt like I like other one more.  In fact I have decent Internet connection and the issue is not from my end.

### 3/5 — Small bug

*2012-12-10*

Hey guys!

Great app, has a small bug though.

Bottom bar with " rates, positions etc. " keeps disappearing leaving me stuck in one area, not being able to see summary, open positions, daily fx etc.

### 4/5 — Push notification

*2012-11-28*

Generally good, love the charts as well. 

Adding push notification notify used of execution of limit, stop and profit orders is a needed though.

### 3/5 — Needs indicators

*2012-09-19, version 1.4.080712*

This app is great, works fine, no kinks or anything. My only peeve with it is there are no indicators. I really use my strategy on my iPad if I'm not able to use indicators! Get that and this app will be fantastic.

### 3/5 — Improvement but some additions still needed

*2012-05-02*

This is a much better app than the rubbish iPhone version. However, for me to use this as a real tool for placing trades (rather than just monitoring existing trades). The following features need to be added;

- Ability to change the colours of candlesticks and background (black isn't nice on the eyes).
- ability to remove the grid.
- ability to add lines, Fibonacci etc (I only use horizontal lines but I know plenty of people who use angled trend lines and Fibonacci).
- Ability to scroll below the current bottom candlestick price. At the moment I have a trade on Eur/gbp and I can't see the limit line as it's off the bottom of the screen.
- Ability to make comments on the charts which are remembered for next time (this is key for me).

But overall a definite improvement and quite user friendly. I hope you take the feedback on board and there is a new version soon. It will take a killer app to beat your PC TS2 though, as it's by far the most user friendly platform I've used/seen.

### 5/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2012-04-04*

Was thinking about changing trading platforms but since the update I can't express enough how genuinely pleased I am with this update, 99% perfect, only suggestion please intro duct 15 minute time charts but that's more of a matter of personal preferences rather than anything. 
Happy dayz.

### 4/5 — An improvement

*2012-04-03*

This update is certainly an improvement over the original version. The inclusion of indicators was a must and it's nice to see Ichimoku in there. 
For me, Ichimoku line options (like TSII) would be all I need more for a 5 star rating. Thank you.

### 3/5 — No indicators??

*2012-03-30, version 1.0.121611*

Platform looks great but it's useless without indicators...

### 5/5 — Works great

*2012-02-10, version 1.0.121611*

Works great, can't wait for indicators to be added to the charts.  I suggest giving users the ability to change currency pairs when in landscape mode.

### 1/5 — Not working at all

*2022-07-05*

Why do you publish the app which absolutely not working?

### 1/5 — No Support

*2021-05-12*

Do not bother with this provider, their support is no support!

### 1/5 — Bug

*2015-08-17*

This application got bug in it.
My acc suddenly lagged and then it sold all my units. Lost about 5k. Not worth it

### 1/5 — Only works with wifi

*2014-08-25, version 1.8.1*

App only works when connected to wifi. FXCM is aware of the problem yet is doing nothing to fix it.

### 1/5 — bring back the old feature

*2013-12-22*

in the previous version i was able to see the market movement on the charts a few hours before trading opens on Sundays but that feature has gone missing with the latest version!

### 1/5 — Blue screen crash

*2012-05-09, version 1.1031912*

Great app until it crashed and caused me huge loss.  Stick to web platform.  When your trading serious volatility there is obviously no room for error especially when the errors are caused technologically.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2012-04-07, version 1.1031912*

Can't even log in.

### 1/5 — App With NO INDICATORS

*2012-01-10, version 1.0.121611*

It would be nice if this fxcm app have an indicators that you can add on like the SMA, ATR etc. It useless to trade using this app if they don't exist with this app.

### 2/5 — Obsolete, it’s time for update

*2020-09-17*

I think, it is a great app. It has lot of great futures and it is very user friendly. But it was made almost a decade ago without any major updates. iPad has now huge power to run close to trading station similar to windows one. So please do some work and bring multiple windows charts, better lines, pitchforks, etc. New iPad can manage it. Thank you

### 2/5 — still testing

*2012-04-08, version 1.1031912*

ok. but why cant create limit entry order ? i click new entry order, and it says i cant enter price below current ask (for buy order). i understand it wont -execute- until offer matches, however why cant I create entry below market ..

### 5/5 — Good

*2016-01-19*

Good

### 5/5 — Love it !!!

*2014-08-21, version 1.8.1*

Pretty much as happy with it as the PC platform :-) Love how easy it is to chart my ema and other indicators on iPad version !!! Seems like I can do everything I need to do with out my huge laptop !!

### 5/5 — Top forex company

*2014-07-17*

You just can't get any better than fxcm.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2013-09-08, version 1.7.1*

The app provides such an easy chart to look. Nice colors and design.

### 5/5 — Excellent Service

*2013-04-28, version 1.6.1*

After two weeks I've got: great fills, exceeding expectations.
Best mobile GUI here.  Slick, sophisticated, interface.

### 5/5 — The best mobile app EVER!!!

*2013-04-04, version 1.6.1*

I have used a ton of mobile apps and some had less features while others had more. No doubt, Netdania is very good but fxcm app beats it hands down.

fxcm app has everything that I have been looking for:

Pinch to zoom in and out. Netdania fails here miserably.
Pivots - Not only classic but all types incl Fibonacci pivots. The levels are directly plotted on the charts with price information as well. I haven't seen any app offering this.
Time - Many apps didn't have monthly bars while this app has all the periods upto monthly.
Indicators - it has all that I use incl fractals
Fibonacci retracements and extension levels. Phenomenal!

After using this app, I don't feel the need of going to my computer for drawing trendlines or fibs or pivots etc.

### 5/5 — A sure money looser

*2012-08-24, version 1.4.080712*

Slow screens, when they don't freeze fully are a sure-fire way to loose your precious resources. Stay clear and head to Dukascopy instead where money is in safe hands!

### 5/5 — Great Update

*2012-07-15, version 1.3070612*

Thanks FXCM!!

### 5/5 — Retina

*2012-07-07*

Needs support for the Retina iPad.

### 5/5 — NICE

*2012-05-05, version 1.1031912*

LIKE IT VERY MUCH.WORKS JUST FINE FOR ME.
