Easy to use

Used this platform for a couple of years now and I’m happy with how it’s works, it’s user interface is simple and it’s the ideal platform for someone new to investing. There’s certainly things that could be done to improve the platform and I’ve spoken to them about the things I’d like to see however they were not willing to make the changes as it would affect their revenue too much.

Does what it says on the tin - and more

5
Does what it says on the tin, and I'm very happy with the platform and terms. After much research I opened an account with Freetrade in early 2022, it was incredibly smooth and that set the tone for my experience so far. The app is intuitive and easy to use, but also links to a wealth of information for deeper investigation. Communication from the team is well written and insightful - although I've no idea how they handle an issue as I've never had one! Overall it's great - definitely have been recommending it - and could be perfect if they facilitated LISAs, but I'm sure that's on the cards for the future. Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

Have thoroughly enjoyed my time using Freetrade. The accessibility and user friendliness by itself is fantastic but the company's drive to consistently improve the app really shows and have really helped my investment decisions. Reviewed on: 1st February 2023
