flipping back and forth in the latest few version

don’t know why this app kept flipping back and forth with latest version multiple times in days or weeks, anytime can happens, so far it works fine but i am getting worried with all these flipping versions

Pretty good App

I wish I could have a distinct ringtone or vibration when I get alerts from thinkorswim. This is critical for TRADING.

Can not open or update

Useless

Has slowed

The recent update has drastically slowed switching between charts.

Not supporting older iPads

They made some update requiring a much newer iOS and so it’s not functional on my iPad Pro anymore. So one star. This was functioning I’m June but not anymore

The Analyze by slice feature seems to have vanished since the last update

This app has a learning curve…and it should due to it’s complexity & numerous functions.

Since the last update, some of the nifty features aren’t available- notably the price slice feature when you could analyze how your positions would change based on future hypothetical factors. Why?

Feature Suggestion Please

PLEASE! PLEASE! Add this feature. When opening an option chain and when you enter a certain option expiration, make it when you start to scroll down that you can still see what expiration you are in and so you can easily close the option expiration without having to scroll all the way to the top. One last feature, can you please make the days to expiration on the options chain a different color so it stands out better. Thank you.

Still slow and lacking basic features

The app still lacks the ability to create custom options spread groups in the “portfolio” section. Options contracts are only able to be grouped by the original order.

Pathetic App

Will cost you money. Just go pay for WeBull which elite compared to this dog pissAPP that can never load charts

Useless on legacy Apple products.

Used to be great. Too bad.

Hm

Services are amazing Customer Service I don’t want to bank anywhere else but the charts they could absolutely be better

Spam

They spam you with messages in the app for their stupid events and other stuff that literally no one is interested in, with no way to disable it.

One of the worst trading platforms

I've used a lot of trading platforms, but I gotta say, thinkorswim is easily the worst. It’s got a UI straight out of the last century, and the charts barely move in real time, meaning I literally have to keep Futu or some other charting app open just to place orders accurately.

It's the 21st century—we're in the AI era now—so it's about time thinkorswim got with the times instead of staying so stuck in the past.

App down AGAIN

Sell it back to TD Ameritrade. We literally NEVER had issues with them.

That app freeze

The app sometimes show me that I’m making money once I close the contract. Then I’m on the negative

Finally they upgraded

Finally Schwab made this app usable on iPad, like this update. I can do most of trading on my iPad now, great job Schwab.

It can improve

Many times it hangs, they have to check that for those who make options we depend a lot on the speed of closing and opening an operation

Shut down the release notes notification

The constant notification in the form of unread messages for release notes is super annoying and needs to shut down asap. It’s showing as unread message every single time I open the app even when the last release date was July 20th. Even talked to customer service for this.

Not compatible anymore

Latest update not compatible with older iPads iOS 17.

Usually great, but currently screwed up

Tech issues: when viewing chart for ticker A, shows open position of ticker B. This is totally unacceptable.
