Please Support iOS System-Wide Dark Mode

IBKR is a great trading platform with powerful features, but the iOS app really needs better support for system-wide themes.

The app does not properly follow the iPhone’s Light/Dark Mode settings. When I switch between Light and Dark Mode at the system level, the IBKR app does not always change accordingly, which makes the overall experience feel inconsistent.

Please improve the iOS theme integration and add proper support for automatically following the system appearance.

A powerful brokerage app should also have a polished and seamless iOS experience.

Mobile app is useless

I originally left a very negative review for this particular app. I decided to withdraw that review, because while I didn’t like this app, that doesn’t mean I have to use it. I can integrate TradingView with IBKR, and use its mobile app instead.

Looks good, but not on iPad

It could be a great app. But only iPhone is supported. So 3 stars to get in there comes a version for iPad (Four year later - nothing changed. Only one star! PLEASE give us a version on iPad!!)
