Share App

So easy to add money and buy shares. Investment plans also available.

App is good. Trades are pricey

Good app etc however, just can’t compete with the free ETF trades on other platforms.

I HATE the new app.

Bring back the old app. It was intuitive. The new app has too much information jammed into one screen. I am so over it! Bring back the old one. It was easy to use.

Complaints

I have made a number of complaints via email non have been answered it’s taking weeks to sort out the issues

Room for improvement.

The delay in releasing the end of year statement for tax purposes is an issue for me. My tax is ready to go and has been for over a week (at the time of writing this review), except for still waiting on the Selfwealth statement. The other trading platform I use was able to get the statement out within days of the 1st July. In this electronic age, there’s no excuse for such a delay!

Old app was great, stop changing it

SelfWealth “by syfe” is going backwards fast. Shame they keep messing with it. Just leave it be!

Fantastic app

Super user friendly

Two Steps Forward

Each update improved the many issues in version one of the new App. However, most recent now had an extremely irritating moving banners right below your portfolio summary. It is very distracting with no way of getting rid of it.
F it off!

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.

SW

I am very happy with the excellent service provided by SelfWealth

Become useless

Beware taking money out can take weeks

Get your marketing out of my face

so over updates for security and performance that add advertising to the centre of the interface

i don’t care that the ads are for features offered by the company the app is for, you all are going to find (hopefully sooner than later) that people object strongly enough they will migrate to competitors who have more respect for the user

Advertising

The new app update is a huge step backwards. A non-dismissible advertisement now takes up around 20% of the Portfolio screen—the one screen investors use most. I opened a brokerage app to monitor my investments, not to be shown permanent ads. If you want to promote new features, make the banner dismissible. Please put users first and give us our screen space back.

Latest update saved it

the latest major updated has made a massive difference. the ability to explore stocks and auto invest are much needed features

A lot of information missing

Please add Yield, Dividend and P/E values for stock as it is displayed on the website.

A company description would be also helpful to learn more before investing.

These pieces are all displayed on the website but are missing in the app.

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.

Internal error

Can’t login

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.
