Other than that this app is phenomenal. ### 5/5 — Good for beginners *2021-03-27, version 3.0.0* Just knew a bit about simple share trading but this app has given some very good information about all the other instruments and is fairly easy to understand ### 5/5 — Best app to learn trading *2021-03-09, version 3.0.0* Amazing app! I love it! Will definitely download the trading app once everything is learned. ### 5/5 — 🙏🏾 *2021-03-08* Very good for beginners **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your 5 star rating and for your support all along. We will keep working to provide a good user experience. All the best - Mongiwethu ### 5/5 — Great for beginners *2021-02-21, version 3.0.0* I downloaded the app for learning more about trading and I’m already on my 2nd course. The lessons sizes are short and informative, and the content is engaging. The quizzes are good for checking the user’s understanding, and the information the courses provide is very useful. I wish they would offer a more comprehensive course that would have a completion certificate, but I guess their main focus is to get the user to trade through their app. ### 5/5 — IG *2021-01-13, version 3.0.0* Great app and without a doubt the best trading platform in the UK. Their free education is actually far better than most of the stuff people are paying hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds for. Would definitely recommend this company and this app! ### 5/5 — Just great *2020-12-30, version 3.0.0* All you need to know presented in a simple way ### 4/5 — Ig trading *2020-11-26, version 3.0.0* I finally found an understandable source of information to start learning how to trade! You literally need no knowledge on trading and the markets to get started on this. It’s so easy and the app layout is great! ### 5/5 — Great introduction to trading *2020-09-08, version 3.0.0* I spent a few months reading various sources on trading. Felt like I learnt quite a lot. Then came across this app. It’s by far the most complete introduction I’ve found and was really useful for filling gaps in my knowledge that I’d missed by reading from various other sources. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-09-08* Great app for beginners in the forex trading world . Really does a great job on breaking down everything you need to know . To have a solid foundation in currency trading . Good luck to all my fellow traders out the . My favor forever be in your corner . God bless ### 4/5 — Nice app for learning *2020-08-26* Every thing is ok but videos does not open in any way, I also checked my internet connection and tried different networks connections but it didn’t work ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-08-24* A perfect and informative app for beginning traders of all kinds ### 5/5 — Explains in a clear and concise way *2020-08-22, version 3.0.0* I just started trading and I’ve learned a lot from this app and really fast. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t login with existing credentials *2025-10-06, version 3.0.0* For some reason it won’t accept my login credentials and instantly rejects. States an account can’t be found yet other apps work. Maybe my password is too complex and it breaks? ### 1/5 — Having issues *2024-02-04, version 3.0.0* Inaccurate internet notifications:Despite having a stable internet connection, the app displays a "no internet" message, preventing access to content. Missing course tracks: Several course tracks are no longer visible within the app and website. Took help from customer service. Online chatbot. Suggest me logout and relogin Login difficulties: Uninstalling and reinstalling the app did not resolve the issue. Upon attempting to log back in, I was denied access. Even on website not track my course which i done. How much percentage i gained ### 1/5 — Complete rubbish *2023-05-13, version 3.0.0* I am in a banking software but have not seen so unprofessionally written identification software. If you have an option - do not touch! ### 1/5 — Can not be used! *2021-03-16, version 3.0.0* It doesn’t even except my names to get registered! ### 1/5 — Crashing *2020-02-06, version 2.9.1* Crashing and doesn’t launch ### 1/5 — So much spam *2017-05-10, version 2.1.2* Do not give these people your email address. They will spam you with emails every single day and it won't stop no matter how many times you try to unsubscribe. ### 2/5 — Good content but stability issues *2018-03-03, version 2.1.3* The content is good and well presented but the app suffers from a number of stability issues. When swiping up between individual lessons the app hangs trying to ‘load content’ and having completed a quiz I was unable to submit the results. Would also be helpful if the app could remember me for a period (days or even weeks) to save time logging in every time. ### 3/5 — App has many flaws *2022-12-11, version 3.0.0* The content is pretty useful, but the app loses connection all the time which prevents quiz’s being able to be taken and also doesn’t sync course progression with the desktop version. ### 3/5 — Videos dont work *2021-03-21* Barely dove into it but it seems like a great learning tool overall only thing is the videos do not work. If this is fixed i would likely change my rating to a 5. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your review. We are glad that you like our educational app. About the videos, I will forward your message to our developers to investigate and fix the issue immediately. Thank you very much. All the best - Mongiwethu ### 3/5 — In the beginning there was life! *2017-03-26, version 2.1.2* The hardest part of trading is the beginning, but, to actually have something like this is not only great for the learnings of trading, it's a must for anyone who wishes to understand the stock markets, guaranteed even the top traders will learn from this app, you read, you watch data videos narrated, you have summaries, you answer small quizzes, then you get a exam, oh and you can't cheat, I can't say enough about this app, if the platform is as good, everyone could learn to trade successfully, I like it five stars from me with out a doubt. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thumbs up *2025-04-15, version 3.0.0* Very thankful for this app ### 5/5 — I second the Best Around comment *2024-01-09* I’ve studies the forex market off and on for the past 3-4 years. Yes I was sucked into the IML pyramid scheme but I learned a-lot and took in all the content for the couple months I continued to pay. I later realized everything I was paying for, I could get for FREE. Start with BabyPips and come to IG Academy, and your foundation will be strong as steel. Yes I agree there is always more to learn, but these are DEFINITELY a great start. They give the same content I thought I had to pay for. And it has really helped me to lay the pavement for future trading endeavors. ### 5/5 — Great lead into Markets *2023-11-05, version 3.0.0* Just started first lesson & i find the video clips within it, the examples given before the questions, and the reasons for the answer given after. I found all 3 of above very helpful. Lesson structure well thought out. ### 5/5 — Best Around *2023-05-08* I will make this quick. Consume all content on babypips then all content on IG Academy and read Technical Analysis Explained and there is literally no more educational overhead you could need. You will need to keep learning more as you go but that is the foundation and the comprehensive material provided by IG is a massive pillar in that equation. **Developer response:** Hi Bas3ment, thank you for the review and 5-star rating.
