Good but frustrating.

Price difference between what you think you are buying and what the trade is executed can be large. $25k limit is frustrating. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Underwhelming

1
Not many features compared to other share dealers, or they are locked behind a paywall. They have also started lending shares which can cause inaccurate price matching, and creates an unfair market. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

One of the worst trading experiences known to man

1
This platform will restrict the purchase of stocks as it fits them. Controlling access to their platform and disabling the ability to trade is market manipulation/market abuse. You have forever lost a customer and I will also not be using: eToro/Webull/Robinhood I now use IBKR and then directly register the shares in my name Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Accessible and women-friendly

5
I find the set up, down to fun colours and easy ways to access Insights accessible to people who haven't invested before, including being encouraging to women, who as we know, tend to invest less, something we need to change! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

New beginnings!

5
I'm brand new to the world of investing and Freetrade's app has made that initial step far less daunting than I ever thought it would be. I recommend them, because if more people knew how straightforward a process it is (at least with them it is), I don't doubt more would look into this seemingly 'closed off to everyday people' world.
