### 5/5 — Intuitive

*2025-10-14, version 3.2.4*

Intuitive, very best

### 5/5 — Awesome trading site

*2025-08-14, version 3.2.3*

Quick,easy and user friendly. Keeps my valuable assets in check on demand

### 3/5 — Graphs Need Fixing

*2024-12-06, version 3.2.3*

Nice app to use but the 1m and 3m graphs don’t work properly.
Need to add a share lookup function.

### 2/5 — Features are too limited

*2024-12-03, version 3.2.3*

Additional functionality is required similar to what’s available on the desktop version.
Like the company information dividend history.
When companies results are coming out, sens information etc.

### 1/5 — Nothing changes

*2024-11-28, version 3.2.3*

I wrote a review 4 years ago on here saying this app needs a refresh coz it’s boring and stale and lacks features that some competitors offer.  In 4 years nothing has changed …. Nothing…!!!  For the fees we pay monthly and the fees we pay per trade, does SBG securities have no money to spend on development?  Even the website hasn’t changed for over a decade.  These guys have the laziest developers in the industry …..!!

### 2/5 — Expensive and unnecessary

*2024-11-11, version 3.2.3*

Having a standard bank online share trading account is a waste. It’s unnecessarily expensive (R110 a month), they charge you over R100 for every trade, and you can’t easily see a long list of your previous transactions without needing to click multiple times  to get the dates right. I’m more a fan of easy equities for my investing needs. I guess this is worth it if you’re an active trader because then the fee is less (I think). They also have a decent educational and analysis resources.

### 1/5 — Unacceptable slippage

*2024-10-15, version 3.2.3*

Cost me a lot of money today - slippage, lag, whatever, unacceptable. Will be looking for other better options. Very very unhappy

### 4/5 — Oil and ZAR view

*2024-09-12, version 3.2.2*

Enjoying the app but cannot see the ZAR against dollar etc and current oil prices on log first dashboard. I think you had it in the past.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2024-09-02, version 3.2.2*

App is great, but resetting user names is impossible and the app will crash when you need it most

### 5/5 — .

*2024-03-27, version 3.2.2*

Best app
