Review of the Freetrade, Online share dealing:

Investing as easy as it should be

5
Freetrades, great selection, is stocks coming down the line, an experience that is simple, yet sophisticated enough and easy to invest through. Reviewed on: 15th December 2018

Nice Simple App

5
Easy to use for beginners. I started trading but couldn’t sustain due to high volatility of the market. Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

A good trading app with lots of room to improve

3
I have used quite a few apps before settling with FreeTrade. Though it is great to use there are plenty of room to improve the user experience and time-to-execute a trade and the improve in the delay time on pricing and graph. Also, a visibility to understand the number of buyers/sellers quoting script + total strength would increase the traders judgement. Similarly a lot of things are there which could be implemented to help traders. Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

Easy to use, great customer support. Free to trade! Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

Very easy to use and transparent

5
Once I’ve signed up it’s been really easy to use. I know how to buy and sell stocks and bonds. I even signed up for the premium account so I can get started on saving money, and this process was so easy too. The app tells me how exactly everything is processed and what I’m signing up to so I can feel safe about my finances. Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

The best platform I could hope for

5
Freetrade is a truly "customer-friendly" app, they love their users. The app is transparent with a lot of resources to educate yourself. Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

Simple trading and good community advice

5
The app is very easy to use and all paperwork is explained simply. The advice available directly from freetrade and also from the freetrade community is really helpful. Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

nice dabbling

4
very nice and easy system for dabbling in stocks, bonds, shares and the sorts. And all for reasonable fees. Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

FreeTrade app was always very good, now it is nearly perfect!

5
The app now has all the features that I desired as an amateur and cautious investor. I get useful newsletter/educational pieces on a regular basis. I've resigned from all other investing services and websites that I used to use. This is a great service, great product, great features, all in one, for a very effective cost basis and I experience happiness using (checking) FreeTrade on a nearly daily basis. Reviewed on: 7th April 2023
