Buggy, often down for maintenance during trading hours, opaque error messages, limit orders can't be tracked anywhere in the app, charts time range toggling doesn't work, no charts are interactive at all, currency switches between screens so tracking value becomes difficult, high trading fees, often fails to purchase or sell shares. Support team seem to have no road map for updates. Avoid this dinosaur

It feels basic. Good at showing where you are at today, but there's no graphical fund performance graphs or a history over time of how your ISA overall is performing. I'd like to see graphing that allows you to adjust the graph period, e.g. 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years. I have to instead look at the graphs on other websites to find how the various funds are performing which is a bit annoying when using your phone.

Worse app I've ever (tried) to use! Since the recent upgrade I can't access any useful information. I have no ability to buy or sell! The old app worked well. They need to reinstate the former version and go back to the drawing board with the so-called upgrade. Have unistalled and reinstalled more than once, but it makes no difference. Sadly, no use to me.
