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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Good app *2023-08-21, version 3.2.0* I love the app and the functionality. The app on iPad doesn’t have a back button when you’re viewing your watchlist. ### 2/5 — Statements and certificates *2023-02-23, version 3.1.2* How do we retrieve statements and tax certificates from this app? ### 2/5 — Difficult to use *2023-01-14, version 3.1.2* It is difficul to use this app. ### 1/5 — Face ID *2021-10-25, version 3.0.0* The latest version repeatedly requests login in account and password. Not a one time setting. Then when Face ID is selected, the app does not work…hangs at blue screen. ### 1/5 — 3.0.0 doesn’t work *2021-10-24, version 3.0.0* Upgraded to 3.0.0 and it stopped working. Received an email saying I have to download and reinstall for it to work. Did that, and I had to go through a whole lot of security etc to get logged in again. Working. Now when I try to access the app. doesn’t work! Really didn’t have any issues with the app. previously but now I can’t even use it! ### 2/5 — Face ID *2021-10-22, version 3.0.0* Can’t log in with Face ID anymore app just freezes now when trying to log in with Face ID. Didn’t have this problem on previous versions ### 1/5 — Upgrade breaks things *2021-10-22, version 3.0.0* Version 3.0.0 doesn't work. Blue screen / doesn't load the way it's meant to/did in the past. Yes - my ios is up to date. ### 1/5 — Not loading *2021-10-21, version 3.0.0* After trying to login app just shows white screen, tried this on 2 different iPads and the same result. When will this be sorted? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 …..!! ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Funds *2024-01-30, version 3.2.0* Cannot with cash ### 1/5 — Withdraw funds *2022-10-10, version 3.1.0* I’ve been struggling for a few days to withdraw the available cash from my OST account to my current account. It should not be this difficult?! ### 1/5 — Trading *2022-10-04, version 3.1.0* Not the best app to trade shares probably 2 out of 10 compared to most trading platforms ### 1/5 — App not working *2022-04-12, version 3.0.1* The app simply does not work and cannot be compared to what competitors are offering in terms of share trading platform. Very disappointing that a financial institution such as Standard Bank would offer such as a trading platform and still be quick to charge normal brokerage charges. ### 1/5 — Worse and worse *2021-12-01, version 3.0.1* With each update, this app loses functionality and introduces more admin headaches. Methinks Standard Bank needs some fresh blood in the app development team before this app becomes a quirky remnant in the museum of most the world’s least impressive tech. ### 1/5 — Constant issues *2021-10-29, version 3.0.0* I only log in a couple of times a month. It is never smooth. Always a technical issue. Try again later etc. Seems unstable with latest updates it’s even worse. Same with the main app. Temporarily Unavailable is almost becoming the slogan. Wait an hour try again and then you get in. Version 3.0.0 is almost unusable ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Open *2021-10-27, version 3.0.0* When you log in just brings up a plain white screen and no information can be viewed Basically your app doesn’t work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — . *2024-03-27, version 3.2.2* Best app ### 5/5 — Great and easy to use *2023-07-12, version 3.2.0* Good graphics, easy to use and great experience ### 5/5 — Trading made easy *2023-06-14, version 3.2.0* Easy to use, convenient and has all the functionality to perform trades anywhere. ### 5/5 — Feedback *2022-07-12, version 3.1.0* Very happy with thé functionality of the website, only negative thing is the feedback from enquiries, which is non existent-asking for feedback regarding in person seminars if it can be re-instated again after covid ### 5/5 — Mr John macrides *2022-07-02, version 3.1.0* Prices not live ,,, U trading on my orders. Front running !!! Orders @ market are blocked ,, can’t trade @ market. Slow inefficient infected system ### 5/5 — Watchlist Amendments *2021-10-21, version 3.0.0* There doesn’t seem to be any means of deleting old watchlists from the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-09-19, version 1.4.0.3* Top notch app - Anyone can use it! ### 5/5 — Best app for trading on JSE *2016-08-03, version 1.3.2* This is hands-down the best app for trading - quick, simple, easy to monitor and manage your portfolio from the golf course. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
