### 5/5 — This app is amazing

*2024-06-21, version 9.1.9.2*

I would highly recommend this app 👍

### 5/5 — A surprisingly good platform for trading

*2024-06-12*

Started using TradeUP a little while ago just to give it a try. But it turns out to be a very good place for trading, especially if you are looking for a very competitive fee schedule for your options and margin trading. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — app

*2024-06-10, version 9.1.8.3*

Cool

### 5/5 — Great trading app

*2024-06-06, version 9.1.8.3*

I love the app!!! It’s easy to use and a very professional trading tool. The app provides everything I need!!!

### 4/5 — The app

*2023-09-18, version 9.0.7.0*

I like it so far

### 5/5 — One of the best trading tools I’ve used

*2023-07-18*

I'm surprised by the amount of analytics they offer given that its a free app w no account minimum. if ur do ur own analysis definitely try out their Windows app. one issue ive noticed is withdrawals take a little longer than other plaftorms

### 5/5 — Great App for Traders

*2023-07-18*

This app goes beyond the basics and offers a suite of powerful analytical tools. The ability to overlay multiple indicators, draw on charts, and access real-time news feeds has taken my trading to a whole new level. I’m excited to see them roll out OTC and more option strategies in the future.

### 5/5 — Excellent for beginner

*2023-07-17, version 9.0.3.0*

Great analytical tools, user friendly UI interface and friendly/helpful customer service. The excel tool to dive deeper!

### 5/5 — highly recommend

*2023-07-15*

As a professional trader, I rely heavily on advanced analytical tools, and this app delivers. You can clearly tell the developers have prioritized analytics in this app. The range of tools, such as heat maps, market sentiment analysis, and historical data comparisons, are invaluable for spotting trends and making strategic moves. Definitely check out their desktop app if you're a serious trader they even have a Mac version

### 5/5 — Great trading app

*2023-07-14, version 9.0.3.0*

Their promotions are so cool!! I’ve received so many free stocks from referring friends - you have to wait a while to receive them but that just gives me more time to explore the app

### 5/5 — Fav trading app now

*2023-07-14*

Transferred from TD because the margin rate is literally 7X lower here. 0 commission is pretty much the industry standard now, but for someone who leverages heavily margin rate is the deciding factor for me. They've got a pretty solid desktop software for free that's comparable to other paid software I've seen. Only downside is their option strategies are limited, but their customer service told me they're working on it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — TradeUp never honor its commitment

*2025-09-04, version 9.3.8.2*

I have successfully completed all the requirements for this promotion, including opening my account and funding it as specified. I reported the issue more than 24 hours ago, yet no resolution has been provided, I should have 4 times free draw stocks, now system shows not available stocks to draw.

### 1/5 — This is not the Tiger Trade

*2025-02-28, version 9.3.0.2*

App logo and interface design are all look alike popular tiger trade. But looking deeper, this app based in China. Shady app.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-02-18, version 9.2.9.3*

Shady business practices would steer clear of this app and research better applications for investing purposes

### 1/5 — Unauthorized Transactions

*2024-12-04*

I am writing to warn other users of TradeUp regarding unauthorized and unjustified activity in my self-directed brokerage account. Without my knowledge or permission, a position in my portfolio was liquidated and replaced with another security that is worth less than one-tenth of the original value. This is a self-managed account with no advisor involvement. At no point was I provided notice of this transaction, nor was any explanation given by the brokerage firm. When I reached out to TradeUP Securities, Inc. for clarification, they claimed their terms and conditions allowed them to take such actions. However, this response does not justify the lack of prior notification or the considerable financial harm caused by their actions. I believe this conduct warrants a thorough investigation, as it undermines the trust and transparency required for brokerage firms to operate in good faith. I have reached out to authorities of such behavior and wanted to share my experience here so other folks are aware.

**Developer response:** We sincerely regret hearing about your experience and understand your concerns. Transparency and trust are core to our values, and we’ll use your feedback to help us improve. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

### 1/5 — Takes forever to withdraw funds

*2024-10-11, version 9.2.4.2*

It’s been almost a whole month, and I still haven’t received my withdraw funds since my request.  They take your money fast tho

### 1/5 — Bad experience

*2024-09-20, version 9.2.2.2*

Terrible experience. First page no help center or number I can reach. Webpage and app are different

### 1/5 — Warning ! Scammer!

*2024-01-30, version 9.1.2.0*

Tradeup just scammed me today, they gave me free stock last year which I kept in my invest account. Today when I login to my account, they reverse the free stock which they gave for no reason. This is a scam website which promises their client for lucrative deal, maybe they take & sell your documents,information to hackers. I don’t recommend this chinese scammer site to anybody. Stay Safe

### 1/5 — fake app

*2023-10-19, version 9.0.8.1*

Essentially a fake app. Gives you reward stocks and present them to be always falling so you never want to redeem them…meanwhile the data is fake. Also super hard to navigate and I’m not even old lol

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2023-08-09, version 9.0.5.1*

I downloaded the app, but it won’t let me in. It wants to send a code to my email “for security reason,” but then it says my email hasn’t been activated, which is incorrect. I got an email from Tradeup informing me my first deposit went through. There’s apparently no way to solve this issue without calling support. Very user-unfriendly. Plus, there are typos everywhere on the site. Very unprofessional.

### 1/5 — Can’t refer my link

*2023-03-23, version 8.1.2.0*

It’s saying I’m not in an eligible country but I live in the United States lol! Makes no sense

*2024-11-27, version 9.2.6.2*

I love their low margin rate as I can borrow more money with less interest! Friendly for day trading!

### 5/5 — V.GooD

*2024-11-23*

One of the kindness of the platforms I worked on, especially at the moment in terms of speed, non-mistakes and noticeable progress through my personal experience, and I recommend using it.

### 5/5 — Great experience

*2024-11-23, version 9.2.6.2*

I think trade up is an awesome app. I really enjoy it more than other trading apps. It’s easy to use use and the format of the app is very easy to learn. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Give them a chance

*2024-11-23*

So I've been using TradeUp for a few months now, due to them running the best transfer bonus program in the market, 3% of the value of portfolio transferred in plus some free Stocks, beats pretty much everybody else, the program is still ongoing, so take advantage of it while i still can. 

My overall experience with them is pleasant so far, besides all the usual stuff like simple and clean interface, 0 fees, I wanna give a big a big shoutout to their wonderful CS reps, super responsive and helpful at the same time. So give them a chance and u might be surprised, in a good way of course.

### 5/5 — I love TradeUP

*2024-11-23*

I have been using TradeUP for 3 years. I love this platform. It’s easy to transfer money between accounts, user friendly apps, flexible transactions times and you can transact almost 24 hours. There are many encouraging terms for new users. There are various options for different customers, stocks, options etc. I strongly recommend TradeUP for stock lovers!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-11-22, version 9.2.6.2*

Great app love it !!!!!

### 5/5 — Highly recommended!👍

*2024-11-13*

I’ve been using TradeUP for a while now, and it has completely transformed my trading experience! The zero-commission trading on stocks, ETFs, and options is a huge advantage, and the lack of fees on options trading really makes a difference. The 24/5 market access is a game-changer for staying up-to-date on market trends, and the one-click IPO subscriptions make it so easy to get in on new opportunities.

I also love their competitive margin rates and the fact that I can earn returns on idle cash, which isn’t something all platforms offer. The advanced analytics tools are fantastic for refining my trading strategies, and having personalized support is a nice touch when I need extra assistance. The platform’s modern, intuitive UI is a pleasure to use, especially with dark mode, and the multi-language support is great.

TradeUP’s commitment to security and reliability is evident, with backing from major financial authorities and two-factor authentication for extra peace of mind. I highly recommend TradeUP to anyone looking to elevate their trading game!
