I could be finalising a sale and as I hit “place order” it logs me out. I have to log back in, do it all again. Literally losing me money. It’s 2020, you’d think having an app that works properly isn’t too much to ask. ### 2/5 — Need to improve GUI to compete v other apps *2020-03-28, version 1.2* Every time I want to get into the app. I need to put user and pass in. Why won’t it remember the credentials. I’ve even reinstalled it. The app it self is and looks basic. Hope it improves ASAP. ### 2/5 — Very disappointing *2019-07-01, version 1.1* Considering how late St George are with a stock trading app and there are so many good ones to take design ideas from, wow you have missed the mark. Giving two stars because at least you can buy and sell.... if you have too. I think it’s time to review banks. Clearly ST George / BOM are not taking digital seriously enough. ### 1/5 — Fails *2019-06-15, version 1.1* Freezes and doesn’t let me login ### 1/5 — You broke it *2019-06-11, version 1.1* App doesn’t even log in now. Just stops at the login screen. ### 1/5 — Broken update *2019-05-16, version 1.1* Was working fine until recent update now can’t login app just freezes at faceid login screen ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2019-05-16, version 1.1* Seriously, you had one job. Show my shares. The app locks up at login with FaceID and the interface looks like it’s from the 80’s. Back to the drawing board guys. Back to Apple Stocks for me. Ps. Would give you Zero stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Poor design. Hard to navigate *2019-05-12, version 1.1* The only thing useful with this app is checking out your balance That’s about it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NO ACCESS ON COMPUTER *2026-05-17, version 4.2.0* Hi, I need to use my computer for reading due to a problem with sight. I cannot access your website today. When will my account be made available, apparently because my account has not been migrated. I cannot access the old platform when I click on the link. Please make the old platform available. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Portfolio market value no longer showing *2025-06-04, version 3.0.2* This has got worse, can you not just copy CommSec? ### 1/5 — Not very usable *2025-04-28, version 2.3.0* Some simple quality of life would make this app much better. Stop asking for login every 10 minutes for example. Or, allow users to default to their holding screen. ### 1/5 — Terrible, terrible update *2022-08-17, version 2.0* Clearly the people who worked on this update have no idea how their customers use their app to invest and trade. The app, which was never too good, is now 100% unusable! I’m considering moving to a different broker just because of how bad this app is. ### 1/5 — Really bad *2022-05-12, version 1.2* Terrible navigation, confusing terminology and it doesnt want to process buy transactions half the time. Just use the website - no hassles there. ### 1/5 — Really difficult to read *2021-11-17, version 1.2* This app needs major improvement! I previously purchased shares via the Westpac Investing app which was easy to read the font and easy to navigate. I switched to the St George Direct Shares app to make it easier as my other banking is there. The St George Bank Direct Shares app has really faint font and a poor layout. I used to get excited opening the Westpac app but now I can’t be bothered even looking at it! Please work on making the app easier to read /navigate without needing a magnifying glass! ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2021-05-28, version 1.2* When using facial recognition it will not open and have to download all information over again ### 1/5 — Worst app from any bank *2021-03-17, version 1.2* Poor interface, log on fails if Face ID not recognised, need to reload after delete if log has any issue. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-08-27, version 1.1* When you trade the default setting is day only... Should be GTC. This kind of stuff is typical of banks trying to drain the blood out of its customers in any way. ### 1/5 — Waited so long *2019-06-19, version 1.1* Can’t log on now , it’s very disappointing that we waited so long for this app only to again have nothing Please fix ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bug in the app *2026-08-13, version 4.2.0* The app does not automatically refresh to show purchases or sales of stock shares. I have to logout and log back in to see an updated to my holdings pages. ### 5/5 — End of year tax statement *2025-12-17, version 3.0.2* That is a superb benefit ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2025-12-10, version 3.0.2* I’ve used this app for years and love how easy it is to use and how informative it is also with the research and charts it shows. Much better than some of the competitors out there! ### 5/5 — Simplicity at its best *2025-08-27, version 3.0.2* Easy to use and provides good control 👍 ### 5/5 — Functional and simplicity *2025-08-15, version 3.0.2* I have been using this directshares app for a few years now to track my portfolio and also the market performance. And Im very happy with its simplicity and functionality ### 5/5 — Review *2025-04-10, version 2.3.0* It’s a ripper site good information and quick response Regards Terry brook ### 5/5 — Simply, easy to use tool *2025-01-07, version 2.3.0* St George Directshares is an easy to use and usable for people with all levels of experience ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-08-14, version 2.3.0* Easy to use, use it daily & never have any issues with it. So easy to see how your portfolio is going each day. ### 5/5 — I like this app and bank. *2023-10-17, version 2.2.3* Every one can go to investment shares. ### 3/5 — Latest version disappointing *2022-08-25, version 2.0* The app has been updated and has a nice look and feel. However, these is no total on my portfolio holdings except a total which is rounded to the nearest $10,000 which means I need to add the holdings manually. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
