great platform for beginners and experienced investors

Easy to use, great community, cost effect Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

A delight

5
Using Freetrade is a delight, the app has excellent flow and all the information you could want it easy to find and exactly where you need it. Customer service is responsive and they have a forum community that is active, helpful and friendly. Buying and selling shares on the app is as simple as could be and offers a hassle-free, seamless experience. Stock trading seems like such an a convoluted and archaic industry but the Freetrade app has created a trading platform whose clean design ‘hides the wiring’ to offer a delightfully simple and straightforward user-experience.

Free trading done right

5
Love the lightweight but powerful platform. Easy to find new stocks and see their performance over time. I started a (very affordable) ISA with them, will move over my Pension soon! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get into the stock market. Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Intuitive and informative app

5
Easy to use app that makes it easy to invest without hidden costs. Information is displayed really clearly which makes it simple to see performance of the whole portfolio and find new stock to watch / invest in. Adding cash to the account is easy to do and the customer support is great to. I’d recommend! Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Quick and easy set-up

5
Very simple and easy to set up and use. Fair and clear. Not at all misleading Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Was great but disappointed with lots of premium only shares now

4
The app is good and constantly improving, also customer service is excellent as they explain things very well. I do like the weekly emails with tips too. My only gripe is that recently I have noticed that many shares can only be purchased with a Pro (premium) account. I understand the commercial reasons for this but it has certainly restricted my buying power, as I don't feel I need pro. Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Fantastic app and amazing development pace with the Freetrade app now including GIA, ISA and SIPP products. Great value across the product offering and amazing user interface. Well done Freetrade team! Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Easy, simple, convenient

5
I feel like Freetrade made it really easy for me to invest as a new investor. Their customer service is always top notch, happy to help and respond quickly. I would recommend this app to anyone looking to start investing. Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Democraticising Share Investment

Great product, nice effective User Interface. Great that it is seeing many people investing in shares (also through ISAs) that might otherwise not. Reviewed on: 19th January 2021
