User reviews

Gets the job done

Great app. No issues

Oct 2026 update. Spanner icon on charts is annoying

Update Oct 2026
App appears to be more stable recently and no longer logs me out continuously.
Strange spanner icon on the charts is annoying and in the way. What is it for?


Update May 2026
Continues to log out every few minutes even if active. Often says Reconnecting streaming…

Update Apr 2026
Has been fairly stable but still logs me out on a random basis. Can stay logged in for hours sometimes and other times logs me out every few minutes. Afraid to enter a trade in case it logs me out at the wrong time.

Update Jan 2026
App is logging me out as soon as I go to another app and back again. Frustrating to use and not good when positions are open or watching market closely.
Issue of alerts still not resolved.

Update August 2025.
Still cant see the message when a market alert is available. If the icon shows a 1 then going to alerts shows nothing but gets rid of the number. Still, it’s only been 18 months since I first reported it - maybe I’m being impatient!

2024 I sometimes get an alert on the screen about a large rise or fall in a stock but it is not available in the app. The icon shows 1 alert but nothing is listed. If the message is long I only see the first part and can’t get to see the rest of it.

Great app MUCH better than bank apps

I’ve been using this app for several years and overall I’ve been very happy with it.

A couple of improvements, I would suggest include:

- The ability to set ‘market order’ as a default for buying or selling stocks.
- In the spread betting section, I would like the option to set a GBP figure for stop loss, and for taking profits. That makes much more sense to my brain than a certain number of points for both scenarios.
- IG also needs to architect their systems better so that when a massive number of people log in during major downturns, they didn’t have enough server capacity on the backend. Cloud services from AWS, Google and Micropayments Azure means that there should never be an issue with logging in and taking advantage of markets when they are in meltdown.

The Old Version is Back

This my friends is the best trading platform in the world.

When you need them they're gone

Fx commission almost highest in market, customer services non existent. App functionality crashes every now and again which is horrendous and no one to solve it. Beware
