Easy to use app with pointers to help investing. Any problems are sorted out quickly via email. Overall I am happy with Light-year and the staff. The app works fine for the novice and is easy to use. I would recommend Light-year for share investing. G Jackson Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

Investing made easy!

I’ve tried other apps for investing money in buying stocks and shares but none have been easier, or as friendly to get in touch with for any FAQs. The app gives you a better breakdown of what your investment is trading at than others. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026
