Woeful customer service experience. They are proven liars about their free shares policy. I would not trust this company any further. Reviewed on: 25th March 2025

Simple to get started with trading

It's been a very smooth process to get into trading Reviewed on: 24th March 2025

Easy to build a portfolio from scratch

I like the range of sectors and companies that you can invest in shares via the app. There is a paid subscription version which gives more options for you. Drawbacks however are that some of the shares' can be volatile so you must learn to always invest what you are willing to lose to make some gains. For somebody new to investing. I like that I can secure (in most cases) minority stakes in big brands. This is very flexible. Reviewed on: 12th March 2025
