Best app visually hands down!
The best app for quick & easy view of your portfolio, status of your stocks and market conditions. However, the very best part of it is the way they have a large display in your watchlists with “Red” and “Green” color on the price change, so you can quickly at a glance see if those you are watching are going up or down from the start of the day. It's my go to app for accessing everything and watching the markets. The Think or Swim app is great for having extreme detail for doing multiple charting & getting level 2 updates and getting better news feeds as they give you some that the TD Ameritrade app does. Not very often though, but Think or Swim has the most detail of the two.
With that said, the TD Ameritrade app gives you the level 2 quotes also and it is just so much more visually appealing and easy to view and trade with than a lot of the other trading platforms. Its too bad that Schwab is retiring this one, since I was trading with TD Ameritrade because of their app for reasons I stated above. Schwab has a good app also, its my second favorite one, so its not bad, its just not as good as this one. None of the other ones are for visual display of watchlists and your portfolio or purchased stocks, options, etc.

TD Ameritrade is incredible
TD Ameritrade app for the phone is incredible. Everything is laid out perfectly and completely user friendly. The dashboard is clean and organized with perfect placement. The charts are great, the watch lists setting are clean, even the stock information page is excellent. I recently got switched over to Charles Schwab and I know thinkorswim hasn’t changed much but their phone application is absolutely horrible in comparison. There is the old expression, “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone” and I want nothing more then to bring back the Ameritrade app. I only wish that the people in charge at Charles Schwab can see the flaws in there terrible platform and simple use the Ameritrade app in its place just change the name. I know I’m not alone in this, I asked the question on a online platforms, (Reddit and Facebook) and the response I got back was intense on how many people feel the same way and hate the Charles Schwab takeover. They’re layout is awful to say the least. I can’t see how someone can even compare the two. If I was in a position to make a decision on which layout stays and which one goes the choice is clear. The people at Charles Schwab should at least offer the option to continue using the application that there customers are use to. If this doesn’t change, I don’t think I will keep my account open much longer with Charles Schwab.

Best way to recover your lost or stolen crypto funds!!!
I was impatient to carry out necessary research but I really wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 75,700 USD worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 214,575 USD within a couple of weeks. But I didn't realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried to make an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and noticed my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all cost, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online search for help, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum were a couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptography funds with the help of RemotePundit So I file a report on RemotePundit @ Gmail and he was able to help me get back all my lost funds withing 2 weeks I feel indebted to him. Apart from trying to express my gratitude to them once again using this medium, I will recommend anybody who wants to recover scammed bitcoin, stolen cryptocurrency, funds lost to binary options forex, investment and any other form of online scam to reach out to RemotePundit @ gmail

Thieves in plain sight…
While investing you would like to be sure that your hard working money is taken care of.. so you think! When I started investing with this firm I notice that they would not get back to you right away concerning major issues other then giving you a random answer to call or contact someone else or even point fingers at other individuals for there own mistakes. Mistakes you say ha….! No they play around with your stocks investments and then tell you that they don’t have it yet or they have not received them from the FDIC or from the maker but in true they play around with it make there money and when the price of the stock goes down they appear in your account. A little to late for me to sell because I have lost all the momentum for sell, hey but TD didn’t they did what they had to do right. So who are there number one customer ? Them selfs the institute make money make money. Well the system is rigged and they have the upper hand UNTIL…. Rules and regulations don’t go there way no more. I called customer service so many times and complaint about where my stocks are and they have no clue they tell me to wait 2-3 business days until it goes in my account. I have recorded this calls and they have told me that they will correct it later so I can sell my stocks at the current price it was when I didn’t get them but nothing ever happens…. all I can say know is WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND …

New Trader
TD Ameritrade has made (what I thought was an opportunity open only to certain individuals) but a long sought after profit potential that my Parents kept telling me to avoid. When the COVID-19 Pandemic struck however and my newly acquired certification for passing EMT course, I only had to sit for my NREMT cognitive exam but testing centers around the state shut down. My current job as a Physical Therapy Technician is only PRN (meaning whenever I am needed) On avg. it’s fair to say that until the summer months when children do stupid things becoming injured, the majority of Physical Therapy Clientele are <65 years of age. (They were frightened & wouldn’t leave their Homes) No one knew the transmission rate of this “invisible assassin!” When COVID was at its height, the PT Company I’m employed for was losing more than $5,000,000/wk in avg. sales...so I wasn’t getting called for hours (being PRN)... I had to supplement, so I sat down with my Father and asked Him for a final time; “Can You please assist me in setting up an online trading account?—now I’m addicted to it! Just two weeks ago, when I heard of the AAPL 4:1 Split, I invested in 25 shares. To know on the 31st that will turn into 100 AAPL Shares (at a lower value) but I’m confident will rebound to me is AMAZING!

Data refresh..
The latest version of TDA-Mobile a great traders app.... except data refresh “should” be better. While on watch list screen total account value will not refresh on its own. Also Some stocks do not keep a constant real- time values. “Last traded price.” Update:: It looks like you have fixed the data refresh now seems to be very quick almost seamless good job!!! Same thing occurs on account positions screen. Switching between screens seams to do the refresh...something that shouldn’t need be done!! Bottom line though this app is outstanding it is very mobile just drove clear across the south west US Monitoring option trades all the while. I’ve traded for many years and for the most part use nothing but TD Ameritrade Mobile trading platform ...excellent Recent data update refresh is working great I can’t find any other faults. “A new note”, I’ve just been trying out JPMorgans mobile trading app..it is so archaic compared to TDA mobile … like night & day.

Bad service & phone trading system
Tried to buy Xpev on Wednesday and was told that I couldn’t put in an order after hours; by the Rep & his leader. And after selling my Tqqq’s at the close in order to do so at $157... They then continue upwards to almost $159!! I then after hours tried to order the Xpev again with no luck; it again told me to call for details and I did; only to be told that TDAMERITRADE doesn’t take pre-bids?? So, I asked him to have someone call me with information on when I could bid? No one let me know anything & once again I miss out on getting into the Tqqq’s at an even better price that morning!!!??? Very poor service and awkward phone trading screen. Since TDAMERITRADE took over Scottrade’s great & easy trading platforms; I’ve had nothing but problems with incorrect information numerous times and trades that don’t or won’t execute; because they don’t allow you to put in a standard good til canceled extended hours order!!?? Instead you have to try to remember that at 4 am in the morning!!! Otherwise you’re order just sits there until 9:30 am & in the mean time you’ve missed out on several premarket trades!!!? Needless to say I’m not pleased with them & I’ve lost out on a lot of great trades because of them!! Think twice before switching to TDAmeritrade!!!??

The best trading broker
Hello! I’ve been with TD since 2020 I’m a professional Day-Swing Trader. I haven’t found a broker like Tdameritrade easy to use. Fast execution, reliable, fast withdrawals, fast and helpful customer support, free education. Real time data ! It has everything you need in one platform. I can open different windows, charts, thousands of indicators and I dont even have to pay a membership like tradingview or level2 on webull. Thinkorswim has it all for you for free!!! Everything you need is there. Is my number one and only one broker I tried different brokers and end up cancel all of them and stick to only this one because it has everything for me to succeed in this business. Also trading on mobile and tablet it works great for me. No complaints I only have love for this platform it has helped me to succeed in my trading business.

Love it!
I decided to drop the Robin Hood’s and coin bases because of the ridiculous fees and switch to a legitimate broker account. After spending too much time comparing the bigger brokerages available on the market I decided Ameritrade was the right fit. It has been a great experience so far and even though I'm only investing $10 and $20 here and there I am actually making money and learning about investing.
Highly recommend! BTW, if you are new to investing check out the Ameritrade “Think or Swim” app that is also available for PC. It allows you to trade “fake money” in a simulation so you can practice without risking you hard earned cash. Through Think or Swim they also have completely FREE courses on how to read candle stick charts, investigate companies that you want to invest in as well as trading strategies.
I can’t speak highly enough of this company. I am glade I went with them.

Review
My review is simple it is a very easy to use platform and much information is acquired for you to investigate investing! you need to find out what you’re investing in what do you feel your dollar is worth to control in the market, how do you strategy and to gain knowledge and find out how to become a better investor such as many illustrations given throughout the tutorial and guidance that they offer free. Learning how to invest let you gauge your risk as well as momentum in the stock investment field. I am learning day by day sometimes slower but with information I am more confident and setting goals in obtaining them thank you T D Ameratrade. I would like to come to the office and personally talk with counselors on investment analyst as to developing a stronger foundation for trading options and also stock funds, please review and follow up with me thank You.

Not Very Useful
The measure of a brokerage service is: does it help you to make money and manage your account. In my opinion, that’s what you pay for. TD Ameritrade falls way short of the mark. Specifically, this is why TD Ameritrade (I’ll call it TD) is below the level of helpfulness that I would expect. Here’s why: 1. TD’s storefronts seem to be profit centers which exist to sell you services. They do not seem to be there to provide assistance. They point you to their call center, which is ok, but I would expect more than a cold reception when I drive there to ask a question. 2. Their online app is difficult to use and you can’t tailor it to your needs. If the designers of the online system held focus group meetings, I think they would be shocked at how users have to work around their clunky system. 3. It’s my experience that TD does the minimum they can to support their clients. Their service is just bad enough to make me want to switch, but minimally good enough to keep me from going to the trouble. I would not recommend TD to a friend.

Dark mode, please?
I’m a current Ameritrade client and use the app daily. I also use other charting apps/sites along with it and can easily say that the vast majority of (well at this point, just apps of any and all kinds) - but of “trading” apps support dark mode. It’s available in nearly all competitor apps such as eTrade to Yahoo Finance to TradingView, and the built-in Stock widget. Not to mention all of the crypto apps. Please update the UI of the Ameritrade app and provide a “dark mode” of some sort. I thought it would come with time, however time has come and gone and still no major changes to the app. Even their own more-mobile app, “Think of Swim” offers dark-mode. Personally, I find it to be *much* easier on the eyes. Some people don’t like it, some do. But, looking at adoption rates throughout apps and sites online, I would say that putting in the extra effort to make a dark mode is worth it since it’s (nearly) everywhere now. So please join the party Ameritrade, better late than never - please.

Easiest & best stock market app…ever
I knew nothing about the stock market but my son did and tell me about certain stocks I should buy and he also told me about TD Ameritrade App, so I downloaded and create an TD account and it is so user-friendly: there is no buy-in $ amount needed in order to open an account, it’s easy to deposit funds into your account or buy/sell stocks, see how your portfolio did on any day or you receive reports on stocks you own and they give you a forecast of the company you invested in & its future; also your dividends can reinvested if that’s what you choose and everything is written out in layman terms and makes it easy for me to understand where my money is and if it’s vern a good day or bad on Wall St. but again I cannot stress enough that the App is clear & concise in layman terms and also you are assigned a broker if the need arises where you need to talk to a professional and the company has a reputation on the street as being a solid company.
I am an older American who only recently started, but I have built a nice little portfolio, whereas my son who is in his 20s, will hopefully have a nice nest egg waiting for him when he reaches my age.

Best Stock Market App
I like how easy the Ameritrade App is easy to use along with all of the valuable analysis that Ameritrade provides on future predictions and overall performance of the company and overall stock price. Would recommend this app over others out there as I’ve tried others like Merrill Lynch Edge and don’t like that interface quite as much as I do the Ameritrade App. I can more easily make OTC and ETF type transactions with the Ameritrade app over Merrill Lynches app and others. However I’ve had to open another Brokerage account with Robinhood if I want to trade more frequently closer to like day trading. And with the volatility of the market right now there are stocks I’d like to purchase and potentially sell in the same day but this is an area I struggle with as Brokerage accounts and apps like the Ameritrade app frown upon day trading. That is my only negative about the app but other than that it is probably the app and brokerage firm I’d use and rank the highest. Sincerely, Brett

Always delayed with actual stock/options pricing
Several time I have placed stop limit sell orders that have failed and cost me additional losses or lower profits. Customer service reps, with the exception of Cassandra, are not interested in you or your success. They are all about CYA (TD’s that is). Low knowledge is apparent… Many time I take the time to research a price/options between two platforms. It’s been quite constant to find one price in one platform and higher price in the TD app. I figured it has to be a delay, but it can be just the TD model. Like a gas station pump; the ones with the bright lights and slow pumps. Yeah, so that you have time to go to the store to buy something compulsive. Well, this time is basically the same. My problem is that it cost me both at the purchase or the sale due delayed price change when closing a position. I understand if I pay more TD earns more, but other platforms seem more up to date many times. I hope you, TD, can fix it.
Moved trading to Webull and my experience is much better. No commission on option trading and provide thorough info for due diligence.

Love it but…..
In the middle of switching from Webull to TD and as of right now I’m loving everything about it from stock analysis to education videos that they provide. I do most of my trading on my laptop but also use my phone when I happen to be at work. The iOS app is good and all but would like to see Dark mode implemented into the iOS version just like TOS has - that’s the only downfall to it. The brightness kills your eyes. Now that’s not a deal breaker but would recommend it. One of the biggest reasons I switched to TD is so that I can route to the NYSE unlike Webull where it goes straight to Sh*tadel. Add DARK MODE PLEASE!!!!!!!!! The iwatch app is horrible it only works if you have TD open on your phone which at that point might as well just use your phone. Might want to fix it cause other apps for the watch don’t have to open the phone to look.

TD Ameritrade app
First off, I would like to say that I do enjoy the large amount of information on the app and the screen. On the flip side though, there is sooo much information on the page that it requires the user to toggle between pages to achieve the information needed to make a sound transaction if buying or selling calls and puts. This is something that has been a major turnoff for me as one who in the past with (Scottrade) exercised the sale of many call contracts. The screens on the mobile app and my main home computer don’t really differ that much from one another. This along with my account rep. at my local branch office NEVER, returning my calls, even after leaving messages that are requesting assistance and the closing of my local branch office have me at a crossroads of whether to stay with TD Ameritrade or find another company that can assist me with my account needs. It has been sometime since the TD Ameritrade/Scottrade buyout and I have tried to be patient and learn the new platforms, ins/outs of TD Ameritrade’s services, but with the lack of support from my local rep. or branch office, we may be at the point of separation. Thanks, Tom B.

Nice Platform Overall
For the most part, I find the mobile platform easy to use, and especially like how the dashboard allows me a view of what’s happening in my positions and account in general. It’s a bit tricky finding how to get to the Options that I want to buy to open, sell to close, sell to open and buy to close. I can’t give it four (4) or five (5) stars because I’m annoyed that once my login credentials are accepted and I’m in, I feel that should be enough so I can work in my account. But No! Every single trade, whether it’s to buy or sell that fast moving stock, or option, I am REQUIRED to re-Enter my F’ing password! Now, if I was an idiot and used a simple “easy to guess” password then I might justify this inconvenience, but I have an extremely difficult password and, by the time I’ve entered my password to buy, for example, the ideal entry price has gone! Needless to say it has cost me a lot of money not gained because of this! Developers, get your butts in gear and rectify this!
Update:
The developers still have not made it any easier to allow me to make a more timely buy or sell on this app. And because I refuse to compromise my account be creating Mickey Mouse passwords that can be easily cracked, I’m reducing my stars for this app to 2.

Electronic Delivery
They promote paperless, electronic records. What they don’t mention is that they only provide access to the last 10 years. They say they are only required to provide the last 7 and suggest they are going above and beyond the requirements. Problem is there are times we need information older than 10 years to figure basis for determining long term capital gains. There are also issues with splits, mergers and name changes. I had a Scottrade account which migrated to TDAmeritade. I made inquiries about 4 stocks in my account prior to that change. I was told they had such records and would research them. In a few days I was told they didn’t have any information on any of the stocks. They said maybe they had been deposited into the account: they had not. I subsequently found documentation they had been purchased in the Scottrade account and had not undergone any event such as a name change and the number of shares was the same. Makes me think nothing was done on my behalf and after a prudent delay I was told there was nothing. I am very disappointed and don’t have faith in their electronic records or their research into prior records even though they have relevance for accurate reporting to the IRS. Jerry Stanke
