### 2/5 — Stops disappear

*2026-08-28, version 1.4.5*

More then a couple of times my stops will get taken off but the position stays open and massive losses occur. This app needs help!

### 4/5 — Transfers

*2026-08-19, version 1.4.3*

Would give 5 stars but I hate that it takes a whole day to transfer money into your ninja trader account please set up instant deposit with debit card or something

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-08-04, version 1.4.3*

Love the ease of use of this app.  Has tick charts very good and a must for me.  Only reason not 5 stars is the inability to draw trend lines.  Please add trend lines!!  Please please please have been waiting over a year.  We need trend lines please!

### 2/5 — HORRIBLE

*2026-08-01, version 1.4.3*

when i downloaded the app I legit thought I was scammed. This app is bare bones and offers hardly any options besides "live trading" and "simulation". navigating it was awful. their charts are equally as bad as the user interface. Unlike most brokers they'll also quickly auto liquidate you if a position moves against you so you have to be sure to monitor positions closely at all times. theres no warning at all, not even if you open a position that requires much more margin than what you have to be considered risk efficient.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2026-07-30, version 1.4.3*

App constantly crashes and is not optimized very well. Will kill your phone battery very quickly. Please optimize this app especially preventing the crashes

### 4/5 — Indicator

*2026-07-27, version 1.4.3*

It would be excellent if the risk-reward indicator could be used.

### 3/5 — Great for trading fast and reliable but charting needs work

*2026-07-24, version 1.4.3*

I want to love this app and comfortably trade on it 24/7 but without being able to chart my levels I constantly have to flip to other apps. Best to use desktop version until they get charting available on the app

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-07-02, version 1.4.2*

Feels like i’m running dialup whenever i open up this app. Everything takes extremely long to load: home page, charts, settings, basically every screen you load takes a while. Chart sometimes goes blank and unable to see price action. Really disappointing. Maybe okay if you swing trade and don’t need to monitor your positions constantly. Not usable for an intra day trader. Needs major improvement

### 1/5 — Graph or candle bar is delayed

*2026-07-02, version 1.4.2*

Date price is super fast but the graph cannot keeps up. Sometimes the graphs just stand still and candle bar not even moving while pricing was flashing. No basic drawing tools

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-01, version 1.4.2*

Stole 35$ from me. Wouldn’t let me withdraw all funds, stole another 25$ then closed my account because the money they stole puts me below the amount to keep account open. No trades were put in. Just straight theft.

### 1/5 — Didn’t get the $100 they offered

*2026-06-30, version 1.4.2*

I deposited $100 during the time of promotion and still haven’t seen my extra $100 NinjaTrader promised

### 2/5 — Great platform but…

*2026-06-30, version 1.4.2*

The platform is good.  Commissions and margin requirements are low and execution times are good.  The problem is that they are unwilling to fix certain issues.  For over two years you’ve had the option to connect a debit card to your account.  I, unfortunately, have not been able to.  After hours spent on the phone with customer service, I always get the same answer.  Just use a different deposit method.  If I wanted to use those options I would.  The better idea would be to fix the problem.  Not sure why it takes over two years to fix this, but it hasn’t been fixed yet.  If they did that I’d change my review to five stars.

### 2/5 — Desperately needs an update

*2026-06-25, version 1.4.2*

This app is really old looking and feeling. The UI and UX are terrible.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does not let me take money out

*2026-08-28, version 1.4.5*

I’ve tried multiple times to take my 20 out but seems like they only let you deposit and not withdraw smh

### 1/5 — Very bad experience

*2026-08-27, version 1.4.5*

They don’t answer you when there are issues.  Issues with the software and they said they will get back to you and never do.  Wouldn’t recommend using them

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-16, version 1.4.3*

I joined under a promotion where if you deposit $100 you receive and extra $100 from them and they said I don’t qualify after I put the money in. They didn’t give me a single reason why I wouldn’t qualify but that’s probably because I do qualify and it’s just false advertisement I read the fine print and nothing disqualified me from this promotion.

### 1/5 — Frustrating, buggy mobile app – not recommended for iPad/iPhone

*2026-08-15, version 1.4.3*

NinjaTrader mobile app (iPad and iPhone) is poorly designed and frustrating. Constant switching between windows and pages. Two-factor authentication is broken: keyboard keeps flipping from numbers to text after every digit, forcing you to switch six times for a six-digit code. Charts don’t resize or fit properly—nearly unusable. Buttons overlap and feel cramped.
As an Australian user, funding is a nightmare. Debit cards fail, Apple Pay unsupported, overseas bank accounts trigger hidden fees, and every transfer requires extra disclosure forms. Account opening took almost two weeks of endless back-and-forth document uploads (passport, license, bank statements, utilities, etc.) despite providing complete files.
Desktop users seem happy, but the mobile experience is full of bugs and is far from intuitive. No better futures trading option from Australia that I’ve found, yet this still isn’t worth the hassle.

### 1/5 — Worst decision of my life!

*2026-07-31, version 1.4.3*

If there were an option to leave 0 stars, I absolutely would. Unfortunately, the App Store requires at least 1 star, and even that feels too generous.

My experience with NinjaTrader has been incredibly frustrating. Customer support is almost nonexistent when you actually need help. I asked a simple question about my withdrawal and instead of getting a direct answer, I received generic responses that had nothing to do with my issue. It felt like I was talking to a bot that wasn’t even reading my messages.

When a company is handling people’s money, clear communication and reliable support should be the bare minimum. Instead, I was left wondering where my money was with no real explanation or urgency.

I expected a professional trading platform, but the lack of meaningful customer service completely ruined my experience. I would not recommend this app to anyone who values responsive support or peace of mind when dealing with their funds.

### 1/5 — No heikin ashi lines

*2026-07-27, version 1.4.3*

The heikin ashi lines still don’t show even using heikin ashi indicators

### 1/5 — Won’t even allow me to signup

*2026-07-25, version 1.4.3*

Not good

### 1/5 — Stole my money

*2026-07-23, version 1.4.3*

The deposit went through after about a week or so. Didn’t think about it for a bit and all of a sudden. Now I have zero dollars in my trading account no withdraw, no warning, just gone. App is simply useless. Only reason I knew is because they sent me a random email telling me I now have zero in my account and that they were gonna remove my access

### 1/5 — Can’t withdraw funds

*2026-07-16, version 1.4.3*

I was trying to make an account to fund my account but even thought the payment went through the account never funded. When I tried to get a refund the app locked me out I can’t sign back in. I will revoke my review when I get my money back.

### 1/5 — Demo mode, Fund transfer

*2026-07-16, version 1.4.3*

Demo mode started out fine and then I kept getting an error telling me I wasn’t signed up for necessary data feed. Before that happened, I couldn’t get Plaid to work(?) and then I initiated a debit card transfer. Still no funds two days later.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-26, version 1.4.5*

Good

### 5/5 — Great App, But a Few Features Still Need Improvement

*2026-08-23, version 1.4.5*

I use it every day because I trade while I’m at work, and overall I’m happy with it. The only downside is that it’s missing some features that are available on the desktop app. For example, the trailing stop could be improved, since it works very differently compared to the desktop version.

Also, if you use prop firms and have multiple accounts, the mobile app doesn’t allow you to copy trades between accounts. That option is available on Tradovate’s web app and NinjaTrader’s web platform. I don’t think it would be too difficult to implement.

Hopefully, they improve these small inconveniences in the future. Other than that, I really can’t complain.

### 5/5 — Futures

*2026-08-06, version 1.4.3*

The absolute best !

### 5/5 — Overrall good but could have improvements

*2026-08-05, version 1.4.3*

needs crosshairs when using chart

### 5/5 — Needs Sound for Notifications

*2026-08-04, version 1.4.3*

Love the app. Add the sounds so we can hear when an order is filled. Also notifications keep repeating and logging in faster so I can save my behind would get great.

### 5/5 — Can’t register through the app

*2026-07-23, version 1.4.3*

Impossible to register. I spent 10 minutes trying to register through the app and then through the browser and only get different errors every time. The app should be more user friendly for first time users just signing up.

### 5/5 — Clean

*2026-07-17, version 1.4.3*

Great UI

### 5/5 — Great Futures broker

*2026-06-11, version 1.4.0*

If you’re looking for a futures broker Ninjatrader in my opinion is the best cheapest margin requirements that I found and customer service is great you actually talk to a live person I highly recommend them

### 5/5 — Espectacular

*2026-06-09, version 1.4.0*

Una plataforma completa y muy eficiente

### 5/5 — Poor Design and Experience

*2026-06-04, version 1.4.0*

You have to log in all the time you close out the app. Nonetheless, who in their right mind decided to not let customer explore the platform or charts while funds deposit. It just feels cheap and sketchy that even their emails get filtered to junk for me. I also keep connecting my bank account with plaid, but it doesn’t show up on NinjaTrader. I wanted to add more funds but with how much the app sucks at navigating, I’m not sure I want to anymore. I still would like to withdraw my money from this stupid platform. I thought I would try it out but every part of the experience has been slow and horrible.
