Unreliable
Often does not work. Spinning wheel and forever waiting. Error messages.
This on a brand new iPhone 17 pro max, with a solid wifi connection my other internet based apps work fine while this one is spinning its wheel.
If you need a responsive and reliable way to trade avoid this one.

The Charts volume is ridiculously inaccurate during extended hours
Small cap stocks that usually when active only trade a few thousand shares per minute are shown to trade
multiple tens of thousands of shares per minute, even over a million per minute when it should only be a few thousand per minute. Sometimes it switches to an accurate number for a second then back to ridiculous numbers like hundreds of thousands of shares in seconds. Not helpful to trading at all.
News often is missing.

Very buggy
Get anything else.
Not user friendly
The E*Trade platform has literally gotten worse and worse to use over the past 5-6 years. Not a fan at all.
Not good for trading
Recently I’ll be in the middle of a trade, the app will show green gains, my balance will reflect those gains and the charts will look in my favor. But when I close the trade the same number that was green turns red. It was negative but the app wrongly showed it as a positive gain. This has ruined many a trade for me and has lost me money. I do not recommend using this app for trading on the go.

Bug fix and feature request
Bug fix: the calculation of gain/loss for a trade is sometimes wrong on the Performance and Account Summary page
Feature request: Add a feature that will make it possible for a Trader to immediately close all the positions in the portfolio, either at the Bid, Ask or Mid price

15 minute delay
The app has a 15 minute delay so the app isn’t accurate. The fact that it has that big of a delay I rather use Robinhood.
complete waste!! sales rep say use the web page 🤡
cannot do even the simplest things with it!!! Try to review and maintain your watch list with 30 positions, see fundamentals… it plain cannot do it!
given that this is a remake of their legacy app, it is full BS unfit for the purpose. Wonder what corp folks spent time and money building it. Back to web and sometimes the old app (that one is 2*). New solutions app-first are lightyears ahead!

New Pattern Day Trading Rule
New rule was passed but they don’t follow it yet and causing loss of profits. Should be class action lawsuit for not implementing fast enough.
Buy/sell calls/selling a put
I have found 3x now where I have placed orders but ended up in reverse..I lost enough moneys on reversing these trades..also I do not like that after I place buying a call an submit order which throws Bach to a buy..if u are doing many when u are doing trades in is harmful that u may not remember or u wonder did I do this right so you go back to get orders to see if the play was accepted the way you thought you did…WHY ? Why can the icon of buy /sell be empty then you would be doing ur new trade the way u wanted from the start as to planting seeds on the customer as to did i ? Try it ur self an do 6-9plays one after another…but than again I am 85 they tell me an you ? But I am sure you have a lot of elder that fell the same when there is choices an this choice should be ours an mine in this case..

want to like it
it has some serious rendering issues with the charts. i actually lost money because ibeas so distracted trying to figure out if it was displaying correctly.
seems to have to do with when you leave the app in the background on the chart screen then return later it doesn't properly fill in the gaps, and at market close the auction volume just climbs to infinity. very strange.
i like the interface but the charting is not reliable, its still my fault ultimately but i wont risk using it until it's fixed.

Best brokerage
Best brokerage out there! Doesn’t even compare with their rates can’t say enough good about E*Trade!
ui needs improving
let us change the color of the volume underlay, too much green and red.
and why does the volume subgraph have green and red jerkiness
outlines regardless of what color you pick.
it also logs out too frequently when multi tasking. it needs better app credentials cache behavior (one of their main competitors handles this much better)

App Unreliable
I’ve used this app for a few years and recently it’s become unreliable. The charts stop loading or I can’t login at all. When I call eTrade they recommend uninstalling and reinstalling app. I should not have to do that, especially since some of the trades I need to make may be time sensitive. At one point the price on the charts didn’t match the current price. They were at first denying it was an issue on their end and trying to “train me” on using the app. I had to get transferred around to multiple people before finally getting to an IT person who acknowledged it was an issue they were working on resolving. They knew this was an issue, yet didn’t feel the need to notify their account holders of this. The chart studies periodically disappear. You have to close and reopen the app, or remove the studies and re-add them in. The desktop site has also been having some issues lately. It freezes, charts won’t load, etc. I have accounts with two other brokers and don’t have these issues. I am about to ready to move my account elsewhere, because their technology is just becoming unreliable. Not to mention they don’t pay interest on cash collateral and their screeners are somewhat limited. There are better brokers out there.

Went from decent to terrible
Things used to load so much faster - portfolios, positions within a portfolio, options - essentially everything has just slowed to a crawl in the last year or so. Not sure if it has anything to do with Morgan Stanley or not, but it is super disappointing.
Even charting is painful
You know how most brokerage apps, including the basic E*TRADE app, allow a single click to open the chart? This does not work in this version of the app.
The only way I found open a chart is either to search the ticker manually each time or open the statistics on a holding, then navigate to the bottom of the screen and click the chart button.
But even for SCHD it doesn’t show dividend dates. Schwab’s app does.
So I’m moving everything away. It’s silly that such basic features are missing and when I called today, the rep had no clue how to use it. He kept me on hold for 20 minutes and came back and said he didn’t know.
Ridiculous

YEEEHAAAA
This is truly an amazing app. I am literally sitting right here and watching my stocks go up in real time. I’ve bought stocks using this app. It’s super simple. You know exactly how much cash on hand you have in your account. You know exactly how much you paid for your stocks and what they’re worth now. It is truly a complete look at your portfolio. one of the best apps I’ve ever used.

It totally sucks!
The mobile app is so bad that I’m going to close my account on March 13, 2026. RIP E*Trade Pro
