The new app shows Selfwealth is trying to become a social media company
The portfolio tab should just display my portfolio, not news and announcements for companies I have no stake nor interest in, or the “Similar to your interests” section to try to drive engagement. You are not a social media company, so stop trying to shove anything you can to make me stay on your app.
Update July 2025; Just received a notification on them pushing some kind of share bundle, even though I had turned off push notifications in the app settings. I have turned off notifications for this app in my phone settings to stop this spam.

Response from developer
Hi, thank for your feedback. We constantly review what we display on the portfolio page and how it's presented. Similar to your interests has been removed from version 16.6.0 based on feedback like this. We also note the news component is on your portfolio page so you can quickly view your news and announcements related to your portfolio. Your push notification settings are controlled by your device and not something we can over ride, please recheck your settings to confirm these are actually off if you do not want to receive push notifications. We are also looking at options to disable push notifications for marketing promotions, so you can continue to receive notifications for other app features like deposits and trading confirmations.
limited trading functions
really difficult trade when you don’t have enough buy limit options
Don’t update
Latest update has annoying popup ads plastered in your face every time you open the app. Way to annoy your customers Selfwealth
New app is a fail
SelfWealth is an amazing platform but the new mobile app is a fail. Should’ve just reskinned the previous app. Despite releasing multiple updates with new functionalities, the app is still buggy (rotate through currencies on the home screen changes the currencies but shows the wrong currency stocks in the list below; they’ve overcomplicated the interface (having better data does not mean having a better experience - tone it down, the UX is terrible) and they’ve removed a key mobile feature (ability to view personal notes). All of which has been shared with them in an attempt to help improve. I’ll happily change this review when you get back on track.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We are aware that a small number of customers have an issue with the currency switcher and we will be releasing a fix soon. We have heard the feedback on notes and are planning to add this to the app again soon, with all previous notes accessible. We value feedback like this so we can understand what features we can improve.

Lost shares after merger
Unlike other companies (CMC) which provide this kind of service (buying and selling shares). If the company you own shares in is acquired in a merger, they cannot and will not help you find the new share and likely won’t list it on the app if not held on the ASX. Be very careful.
CMC provided the new shares after a couple of days. Self wealths only advice is to call the American exchange. Sucks to suck.

WTF
The point of this app is buy and sell shares. You do not have an individual button/ page easy access to buy and sell.
Dumb.

Used to be fine, now so much worse
Please just put the app back to the way it was before you started messing with it. It was 100 times better .
Things are looking good
New features are starting to look promising .
New app is awful.
QUESTION #3:
Where / How / Will I see “cum dividend” / “ex dividend” status on this horrible merry go round of insanity on this nightmare new and constantly changing app? 🤯
QUESTION #2:
I only use the app. I don’t carry my goddam computer with me everywhere and investing is an agile activity. WHAT CENTURY ARE YOU LIVING IN???
If, (as per your response to my 1st question) NOTES are still available they must be in the app. WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY? I WANT ACCESS TO MY PREVIOUSLY MADE NOTES NOW. HOW DO I ACCESS THEM IN THE APP RIGHT NOW??? I CAN’T FIND THEM.
Please put them BACK in the stupid effing app you wrecked and provide specific instructions as to how I can access my previously made notes IMMEDIATELY.
QUESTION: Where are the NOTES I made to various stocks in my watch lists??? I can’t find them in this new awful dog’s breakfast. If you have deleted them I will be FURIOUS.
New app is awful, not intuitive. Can’t see what i need to see and compare in a glance. Why did you destroy a good app? This is devastating and will ultimately result in me leaving the platform.

New Layout No Good
Sadly the latest update ruins the experience. The portfolio view doesn’t show purchase price as default, and I cannot get the sort function to work at all.
Good but not great
Does a lot of what I need it to do, but not everything that I want it to.
The main feature that I want is a smarter ability to auto invest. I want to be able to tell it ‘every time my brokerage cash hits $XX, I want you to invest in the ETF that is furthest from my target weighting’.
That way I could set up the bank auto transfers and then set and forget.
At the moment, the auto-invest feature is very basic ($XX invest weekly/monthly in an individual share).
$9.50 per trade seems fair to me, but Pearler is offering $6.50 and also offers the feature I listed above.
So if we don’t get the auto invest rebalancing feature soon, I will switch across.

Hate the changes
I hate the changes to the way the portfolio information is displayed. I want to see the current price and the price I payed - why can’t I see my purchase price anymore. I hate the random info I don’t want to see when I can no longer see the info I do.
Great way to invest
Very clear system, appreciate the updates to the app. Overall it’s been a seamless way to invest my money for many years now.
Dar Mode!
Yes!
Very intuitive
I use a bunch of different platforms for investing in AU and US stocks and ETFs and I find Selfwealth to be the most intuitive app out there. It’s just simple and easy to use, exactly what I want when I’m deploying my hard-earned cash.
New Selfwealh app
Don’t like it can’t find profit or losses
App redesign sucks
Platform is fine but the new redesign is borderline unusable.
New Update is awesome
Have been using SW since mid 25, prior to the facelift it wasn’t up to much but the new update has made it a pleasure to trade on.
