There are few glitches, like one of my positions is miscalculated on the main page, but shows correctly on the detailed one. I don't like that the log out panel is where the fingerprint sensor is, sometimes it loads slowly and instead of logging in I log out and need to get an SMS code... Reviewed on: 15th April 2024

I have just started using light year as an investor and I have loved it. The app is easy and the market is very easy to understand and work around. I like how you can see how much is in your protfolio once you open the app. Reviewed on: 15th April 2024
