Share ownership is now more accessible Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Great for beginners.

An awesome and easy to use app which makes taking the first steps into the world of investing a breeze. More work could be done on informing and educating it’s users and it would be nice to see features such as robo-investing pots which mirrors what the competition offers. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Slick, simple and still serious!

Freetrade has made saving very simple, with the user experience of apps way beyond its years. But with things like the Gamestop rush of amateur investors earlier in 2021, the right safeguards and limits were in place to preserve Freetrade's good reputation. The options for triggered trades and the variety of stock and fund options make this my favourite trading app yet, and the home of my ISA. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Love that freetrade does not include spread betting or CFD trades. These leveraged products can be very risky for retail investors and the fact that Freetrade does not offer these services shows their commitment and care for retail investors and customers. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021
