Better off with Interactive Brokers or Questrade. **Developer response:** Hey there, we appreciate this feedback surrounding currency conversion fees. It will be shared directly with our Development team as we continue to grow and improve the product. ### 1/5 — Fees are a scam *2026-08-03* Genuinely insane how bad the fees are compared to similar platforms. You can’t trade in CAD so more fees there. Awful ### 1/5 — USD only *2026-07-31* I thought Wealthsimple was a Canadian company, why would they create a predictions app that only uses USD. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're sorry for the frustration here. To clarify how funding works: You can fund your account with CAD, but all contracts are priced and settled in USD, so you'll need to convert CAD to USD before trading. You can convert it in the Wallet tab by tapping Convert, or convert it to USD during order submission. We understand a native CAD trading experience would be ideal, but in the near term we're limited by the fact that these markets are USD-denominated. Your feedback is genuinely valuable as we keep working to grow and improve the product. ### 1/5 — Fees are crazy *2026-07-31* Please low the fx fees it is terrible it should be maxxxxx maxxx 0.1 percent not that crazy it is not fair **Developer response:** Hey there, we appreciate this feedback surrounding FX fees. It will be shared directly with our Development team as we continue to grow and improve the product. ### 1/5 — Did not like Predict *2026-07-31* I don’t like it, closing the account was very easy at least. I had to use the primary WS app to fully close Predict account. ### 1/5 — Forces you to use USD *2026-07-29* Touts itself as a Canadian app but forces you to use USD with no option of selecting CAD. Stay away. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're sorry for the frustration here.

This looks like you have partnered with Kalshi, a stock betting platform. Develop a Canadian one hiring engineers. **Developer response:** Hey there, we appreciate your feedback surrounding currency conversion fees.

They make weirds choses and they look like they don’t know where they go. They release too much different services. I think I will limit the money I save with Wealthsimple and continu to trade on disnat. And predict is another wrong choice they make. The fees are really high, a real scam. You can only use USD and the conversion fees are also really high. So you pay conversion fees and you again pay fees everytime you buy an option. You don’t have choice, you are limit to predict bitcoin price and stocks index, you have probably 1% the choices of polymarket. ### 1/5 — Bizarre Move Wealthsimple *2026-08-08* Sad to see Wealthsimple succumb to the ills of gambling culture. You’d think they’d want to do better and be better than this but who cares about morals when a quick buck can be made. Sad to see ### 1/5 — From brokerage to casino *2026-08-07* They’ve scooped low. Went from a being a brokerage to a casino. Why do such a thing smh…. ### 1/5 — I love gambling *2026-08-07* 20 % of men in the US are in addiction anonymous and suicide prevention programs due to being addictive to predictive markets also known as gambling ### 1/5 — USD disappointment *2026-08-06* Might as well call yourselves American if you are forcing Canadians to use USD and pay conversion fees and order fees **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're sorry for the frustration here.

Regardless, I do think it’s an amazing product, and I would ignore the people complaining about it. They did everyone a huge favor by making it a separate app when they didn’t have to. Personally, I would’ve preferred having it all in one app. **Developer response:** Hey there, glad to hear you're enjoying the product and thank you for the feedback. We understand a native CAD trading experience would be ideal, but in the near term we're limited by the fact that these markets are USD-denominated. Your feedback is genuinely valuable as we keep working to improve the product. ### 5/5 — Great way to explore prediction markets *2026-07-29, version 1.0.1* Easy to use, clear and transparent fees and risks/benefits. ### 4/5 — Needs a CAD option *2026-08-06* Would like to use Canadian dollars instead of US dollars. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!

Boo WS, do better. ### 2/5 — Undercooked but interesting *2026-08-05* App locks up on error states, forcing you to relaunch. It seems AI-generated without any meaningful QA. Slick interface though, and easy to move money around in. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We've just released app version 1.2.0, which includes performance improvements to enhance the experience. Please update to the latest version in the App Store when you get a chance! If you're still running into issues after updating, you can email us at predictionsupport@wealthsimple.com. ### 2/5 — USD *2026-07-31* Cute app very simple but USD + order fees is too much. Could be great product if can navigate regulatory and make better. Pushing it too early on main app tho not quite ready **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We understand a native CAD trading experience would be ideal, but in the near term we're limited by the fact that these markets are USD-denominated. We will also share your feedback regarding order fees with our Product team. Your feedback is genuinely valuable as we keep working to improve the product. ### 2/5 — Great idea but weak implementation *2026-07-31* It got so many bugs and app keeps slowing down but I like the idea of opening prediction markets to Canadian, would really like if they support CAD as I hate conversion fee and possibility of ability to use tfsa or other tax saving or tax harvesting techniques. Would be better if Wealthsimple started their own prediction market or be prediction market aggregator than simply serving or collaborating with standalone like Kalshi. **Developer response:** Hey there, thank you for this feedback! It will be shared directly with our Development team as we continue to improve the product. If you are still experiencing any bugs or app issues, feel free to email predictionsupport@wealthsimple.com and our team will be glad to assist! ### 2/5 — Most markets are restricted in Canada *2026-07-30, version 1.0.1* It’s like Polymarket but available in Canada and you can’t bet on anything because 90% of the markets are unavailable in Canada --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
