Awful experience

Multiple U/I issues, waited over 1/2 for customer support. Avoid this one.

Not user friendly

The app is really difficult to navigate on mobile. I am having issues trying to sell my shares it’s too much steps to go through. Just like Robinhood which is the reason why I switched from them

Needs a better fill speed… It does not fill all the contracts at once sometimes…

Trade Notifications Only Arrive After Opening the App

I’m experiencing a frustrating issue with trade notifications on iPhone.

When I place trades, I don’t receive push notifications while the app is closed or running in the background. Instead, as soon as I open the app, all of the missed notifications start appearing one by one, almost as if they were queued and only delivered after the app became active.

I’ve already:

* Verified that iPhone notifications are fully enabled.
* Deleted and reinstalled the app.
* Confirmed that notification permissions are allowed.

I also use the desktop application, although I’m not sure whether that’s related.

Trade notifications are time-sensitive, so they should arrive immediately when an order is filled or another trade event occurs, not only after opening the app.

Best for Options Trading

Best app for trading options

SPX issue

Every time I open an SPX options position , doesn’t show up in my list of positions until I restart the app. Can you fix this?

Feature Request

I love price execution and overall format of mobile app.

Can you add feature to have a graph tracking price of an option overtime?

Also add a feature to make an alert on equity persistence even after being triggered so you don’t have to go set the alert after it gets hit the first time?

Trading restrictions on many stocks

I actually like the app and everything works well for me, except for the restrictions they place on trading many stocks that are otherwise perfectly tradable. It’s frustrating because no other broker does this—examples include WEX, LKQ, and many others. I was able to trade PS recently, but this week only closing orders can be executed. It’s ridiculous; they claim you can trade whatever you want, but in reality, you can only trade what the executives decide. I hope they change and improve this situation. Apparently, it’s due to liquidity issues—but only at Tastytrade.

Trade Notifications and Price Updates Need Fixing

Two long-standing issues remain unresolved:

1. Desktop platform: Watchlist and Recent Symbols often show stale prices. The red/green movement indicators update, but the actual price gets stuck, suggesting a caching/refresh issue. I’ve reported this multiple times over the years and usually get told to reinstall the application.
2. Mobile app: I do not receive push notifications when orders are filled while the app is closed. Fill notifications only appear after opening the app, which defeats the purpose of notifications.

Both are basic reliability issues that significantly impact the trading experience.

Orders don’t update

I see multiple pending orders that I changed and that were either canceled or filled. This bug is only on the iOS platform.

Slow refresh rate

When an options contract is purchased, the app is often very slow to show the update in Positions. App doesn’t seem to support cash transfer from one internal account to another, which is possible via browser version. Also, it is very cumbersome that app doesn’t update remaining settled cash BP during the day making it very inconvenient for intraday trading.

Last update broken

The last update broke the app. It doesn’t get past quote streamer now.

Non functional app on iPhone

The app requires a third part service Junior to verify identity when opening an account. iPhone won’t allow access to Julio to upload verification documents. Complete fail.

The only platform for options

Really the best platform for trading options. It’s great. But the fills super suck.

Best broker

I tried so many brokers and tasty is best, I am upset for many years I did not use tastytrade and used other brokers

Terrible on every level

This app and the website constantly has issues. Don’t keep any serious amount of money here because at some point you won’t have access to it and they will provide no help whatsoever

Bugs

They just updated the app and couple days ago and now it’s acting weird. The p/l open now shows all zeros. It is very annoying that when they update the app, sometimes it has more bugs. Thinking of switching

Something wrong since the update on 5/12/26

I cannot see my positions and P/L since the update yesterday. I installed the app and reinstalled it and it is still the same. Please fix it asap! I cannot see my positions!
