### 1/5 — Still some bugs

*2026-07-06*

I use the “ session time”  indicator. I try to changes the starting point to 9:30am and it just doesn’t work. The default time it shows is 11am-2pm… I try to switch it to 9:30am-4pm EST and it just doesn’t work. 

They update the pc version more than the mobile version……

### 2/5 — limited for no obvious reason

*2026-05-22*

app is VERY bare bones compared to desktop variant. Need Exit strategies? Want to sync desktop layout with Mac OS version? Not possible.

### 2/5 — Major bug issue

*2026-05-15*

App is goated and better than most trading app on phone BUT if you register and put « remember me » or « auto connect » something like that the next time you launch the app after closing it completely you get stuck with the motivewave logo non stop and nothing to do but delete and download again. Which mean the whole setup you took time to build back is gone. Very annoying. Also need to work a bit more on the orders on chart, the drag and drop must be cleaner and simple, here if you click you can double your orders and mess up very fast. Other than that, the work on this app is insane, well done !

### 3/5 — So Much Potential

*2026-04-22*

I’ve been a MotiveWave customer for awhile now. I love their desktop interface and trading platform, and will continue to use it. However, I am someone who is always on the go and trades futures on mobile apps sometimes. Decided to give MotiveWave’s mobile app a try about 6 months ago. I will say it is the most complete platform for futures, with tools that most other mobile platforms do not have capabilities for, such as a multitude of customizable studies that are very similar to the desktop version, so bravo for that. However, there are some serious bugs and QOL things that need to be addressed (such as chart trading only allowing 1 lot orders, no bracket orders upon entry, studies sometimes deleting themselves off of main chart during rollover, no customizable candlestick or background colors, entry line disappearing during opening and closing of app, cross trading micros is extremely clunky due to chart trading limited to 1 lot, drawings not deleting or registering being clicked on, etc.) I think if they fix some of the execution limitations with chart trading, this app has serious potential to be the best mobile futures trading platform. I will continue to use it, but I really hope this stuff gets fixed and they put some love into this app! The updates are put out very infrequently and claim bug fixes most of the time but the stuff mentioned continues to be an issue.

### 5/5 — Best charting app on mobile

*2026-03-26*

This is one of the best charting app for mobile I love it so much yes it is way better than trading view

### 5/5 — Great Piece of Software

*2026-02-25*

Super nice written software - user interface is super clear, clean, and minimal. I love it. Also the different connection types CQG,Rithmic etc running smooth . Perfect addition to the MW desktop software and great great great great work. Enjoy trading the professional way on the go . Keep it running !

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-01-14*

Keeps crushing, you would be logged in but no data can be accessed aside from the dom. Everything else just becomes a blank screen, re-installed it, and after couple hours it crashed again. Terrible app

### 1/5 — Worst trading app ever

*2025-12-28*

Zero support. They will never respond to any email you send them. iPad app freezes and never loads. Try restarting the app and freezes on the launch screen. Complete trash. Motivewave should be ashamed to release garbage like this.

### 1/5 — App won’t load

*2025-12-19*

App won’t load and no support

### 1/5 — Be Careful

*2025-12-03*

It’s a good app, but I highly recommend caution when using it. Crosstrade doesn’t function the same way as on a desktop, IE it doesn’t work when chart trading, only from the DOM. So that’s kind of a big deal.

Additionally, there’s no way to use exit strategies upon entering a position. You’d need to manually enter an OCO after.

This is all fine and not a very big deal provided you’re trading small and in a spot where potentially losing the trade over timing on these isn’t a big deal. I’d use this more for managing something you where already in over anything else.
