Activity Tab Removed

How in the hell can I update a position on this app?!

iPad App stopped working

This is a great trading platform for options, unfortunately the latest update v3.333.2 stopped working on my iPad running v18.7.10. The App still works on an old iPhone 8 running v16.7.16. I really like this platform and I am still trying to resolve the problem.

Constant “new version updates”

There are constant new version updates. They had an “update” on back to back days. For some reason I always dread the updates in case something goes wrong. Of course that dread came true.
I performed the update then my iPad was no longer able to up my account without shutting down. I performed every “fix” recommended by google but no luck.
I sent an email to the tech team. I got a thank you response and told their working on it. Two days later, still not resolved. Sent another email and was told, “should be rolled out this week”…..come on guys! Trading on your website is a sheet show. I’m trading high 6 figures. “Should be rolled out this week” after you did something to screw it up isn’t good enough!

Developers need to incorporate change requests from clients

I think TastyTrade UI is the best of any broker. The issue is lagging quotes on occasion and bad fills. In addition, still yet to see an update as promised on % holding. The app has some clear issues relative to competitors (think or swim and interactive brokers)

Trade Notifications Only Arrive After Opening the App

What a buggy update. Looks like developers are testers also. With so many navigation issues this is a joke of an update. And forcing the tastylive tab on us while removing the option to customize is a big no.

********

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.

Outgoing transfers down

After weeks of not being able to make any outgoing crypto transactions I’m forced to leave it where it is rather than sell for a loss just so I can get my money out of tastytrade.

Seriously how long is this going to take to fix?

New update

The latest update removed the activity tab at the bottom of the app.

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…

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.
