eToro - Social Trading
eToro is the world’s largest social investment network, connecting traders from around the globe and enabling them to share trading information and strategies freely and openly. Thanks to the eToro ground breaking CopyTrader tool, eToro investors can invest not only in traditional financial market, but also in each other’s investment strategies, to build people based portfolios.
With the new eToro Social Trading app for Android, you can:
★ Start investing in Stocks, Commodities, Indices and Currencies with only $50
★ Find top ranked investors and view their portfolios, including performance charts, up to date statistics and portfolio breakdown.
★ Follow eToro’s top social investors to get insight into their trading decisions and investment strategies
★ Participate in lively online discussions about the financial markets and more
★ Build and manage your people based portfolio by automatically copying top investors’ trading actions
★ Attract your own followers and copiers and gain an extra income for sharing your wisdom as a Popular Investor
Social Trading is about opening the financial markets up to everyone, beginners and experts alike. By enabling investors to connect with one another to discuss, trade, invest, learn and share knowledge across the network, they can in turn make more informed trading decisions.
Studies conducted on eToro statistics over the past year (2013) have shown that investments made via copy trading were significantly more likely to be profitable, as opposed to manually opened trades. Moreover, we found that our investors were more likely to curb their risk appetite and opt for low to medium risk strategies, than those trading outside the framework of a social trading network.
With thousands of new investment accounts opened every day, our network is the fastest growing and most diverse social investment community around. And with many more exciting innovations down the pipeline, we make sure that you have the tools to seek out the most relevant social trading information to you and apply it to your trading activity in the simplest and most practical way.
Along with developing innovative online investment technology, eToro is constantly expanding its selection of financial investment instruments. Over the past year we have added over 100 blue-chip stocks to our investment offering, with plans to double this amount in the near future.
eToro and social investment in the media: "Online trading website eToro have applied a "Facebook meets Twitter"
- like approach in which users build communities to share and discuss trades, while sites rank top players and offer the chance to duplicate the trades of the most successful peers."-REUTERS
“Internet social networks that let users follow investments the way they track status updates on Facebook are attracting record interest, turning top performers into market stars for individual investors.”-Jonathan Morgan, Bloomberg
"If we had to rank the six social networks by how well they understand these three lessons, there would be one clear and undisputed leader, eToro"-Aite
“For creating a social network that lets traders emulate those with skin in the game. Invest like a guru with eToro, which enables the little guy to follow and copy the market moves of top traders. As it turns out, copying is a shrewd strategy"

For control and looking at your stats it is enough, but if you want to use it for price alarms and chart analysis if you're not on your computer, it lacks behind. The fastest response to price alarms was about 5 minutes, 1 hour the longest, and 10 minutes is a guessed average. 10 minutes can be a BIG difference. For a trading software this is unacceptable. Download it, open it, and try to close it, it's almost impossible. I counted 147 times I clicked on the program close button until it closed
Clunky app. Had to get used to clicking the arrow and not my phone's 'back space' as it doesn't work/takes me to different pages. The top of all the pages, apart from home, are clipped at the top, so I can't read my portfolio amount. Watchlist is also clipped at the top. Today the feed isn't loading for seemingly no reason. I'm sticking with it because I like the feature of seeing what other people are talking about & their portfolio as I'm new to this. But will switch eventually.
What a terrible UX in Android app. I tried to make a deposit. Transition from one screen to another without any page loading warning. It was saying that I will be directed to ideal page, but nothig happened. I can only see white screen. This screen also appears when you click help text. So you don't have a chance to understand if something is happening. There are also no confirmation or error when you try to do something with this deposit. Other than this, general navigation of UI is terrible
The interface on Android (Galaxy Note10) is a bit clunky... you can't use back button to back out of some screens, only the X. How 1990's... -1 On the chart, none of the lines or channels I drew on the Web version come through. This is really annoying. Please add this. -1 you can no longer draw lines or channels, where you could before. A little annoying. At least let the lines from the Web interface show.
App is good, when it's not bugging out and having a huge gap at the bottom which means you can't get to the top menu. This really needs to be fixed, I have to fully close the app and re-open every few minutes whilst I'm using it to be able to access the top menu.
Truly atrocious UI feels like a step back in time, absolutely no fluidity so don't expect to be making seamless transitions between menus or investments! It's that slow I'd be wary of making this you're #1 app for trading and investing due to the sheer unstable nature and clunky UI, constant crashing when trying to browse the add markets section makes it almost unuseable for me.
It would have been a great option for investment for me if it would give me exactly the data I need to input in my tax declarations in Germany. It would be much easier for a program to do it, than for someone to do it manually. Moreover if it's included in eToro, they'd just need to program it once n everyone would benefit from it. Plus they'd have way more investors from Germany. PS. Scalable Capital offers this, you might wanna check it out.
I've been using etoro for the best part of a decade and the continued evolution of the app has ensured it remains intuitive and easy to use. The customer service is excellent; any queries I've had have been promptly and appropriately responded to by the etoro support team, including when I've moved country and my account has been transferred to the new region. Generally just hassle free usage.
Every time I click see all on a news feed the page jumps up, so I can no longer see my balance at the top of the page. It happens on other occasions too but I haven't figured out when or why. I have to force stop the app every 2 minutes. This happens on both my phones so it's clearly an app issue
Constant glitches since the last update which is extremely frustrating. You can only see 2/3 of the screen after cycling through a few screens and have to restart. previously it was a fantastic application
Very untrustworthy platform. Lacks basic features which other crypto platforms offer. Screwed over many userbase many times. App crashes and warps UI 1 out 3 times opening the app. Requires a full stop multiple times a day to use. Look elsewhere and save yourself the hassle.
Try to add any market to your watchlist. After the markets screen loads, it freezes and I can't do anything more. The app then crashes. This happens on Android 12.
The experience is very good except once I faced technical glitch. I still need to find where is support team / centre. Also one feedback this platform is really good, as lot of investor and traders share their views and analysis. Can this be enhanced to add a translate button? So all the users can understand the information shared in other languages as well. All the best.
This app is painful to use. There are limited alerts, no widgets to get a quick glance at performance, and when I open the app, I have either been randomly logged out or it's asking me to rate the app instead of showing me my investments (or one after the other like just now, so I finally rated it!)
Etoro is awesome, easy to understand, great to make investment, and easy to take money out if need it, it's good to see the demo side so I can do my own homework before investing my own money, is it worth it? He'll yeah it is!!! So to the EToro team, keep up the great work 👏 👍
Would be better if you could look up all your transactions, positions closed and frofits ect. Could do with taking a leaf out of capital.coms app but I do still prefer etoro also would be great if it showed all your P/L in pound sterling instead of dollars This could easily be done with an update
Best begginer and advanced trader app ever created! Fact that it adds a Debit card to the equation, makes it perfect! Only waiting when they add more fearures on Chart tables. It is really so annoying that they wont allow to see simple things as where your trade was placed on the chart. Only one smple feature would make so much difference and so many people wont need to use extra apps to see their trades... I have to use other apps to follow my trades. In any case 9/10! For sure!
Old Design was better. Not very user friendly,closing deals sometimes is seconds sometimes takes hours without any explanation why. Not good for quick trading. Update: now already happened 2 times that a saved stop loss got ignored and I lost a bunch of money. Getting my cash out now and uninstalling...
I am rating the app, so far I have had no issues with it and it works well for me. I want to have you guys make a "night mode" with dark theme as I am using it after nightfall. From a marketing standpoint, they did a fantastic job and knew how to advertise their service. The way they enticed me to add money was a perfect marketing strategy, as I am a difficult customer. From a financial standpoint, their Modus Operandi is questionable, but that is at an individual opinion.
My intial experience is not far from easy and smoothly put.. although, I would really prefer a DARK MODE option in this App, since I am unable to spend more time due to the white background 😳😖, please inform me if there is an option that I didn't know about. Thanks
For the purpose of Forex trading, as a former UK IFA, I strongly recommend not using this app. It is complete rubbish compared with Meta Trader 4 or 5. It matters not what device or connection I have used. There is a constant major problem connecting to the eToro server. I have frequently been unable to open or close trades when required, causing lost opportunities and avoidable losses. It is frequently necessary to force stop the app or clear it's cache and the app frequently reloads itself
This App, in my opinion, is not even worth one's time to download... I found it to be far too time-consuming also mis-leading... I understand that it's quite common and in many cases necessary to require personal & credit information for legal purposes, etc... No offense but just not for me, personally🤷🏼💭...or as we say here in the South... "Not my cup of tea" 🙏🏻 Best of Luck ☮️
I can't get past the register account page because no matter what password I chose, even when typing in a "strong" password 12 characters long (confirmed strong with the green bar underneath) it always says 'please enter a valid password' in red text. I tried on mobile and tablet, both the same.
It's got some glitches, which doesn't really inspire confidence. Market orders are not always available and there's no pattern to it. TP can't be set lower than the current market price, only higher. Stop loss is no use to me for that. Tells me I'm "about to make your first real trade using real money" - not true. Screen layout glitches. Chat and news is not useful. Charts are terrible. Navigation is unintuitive. Spreads are huge on some coins to support "fee free" trading.
Absolutely dogshit service and underhanded tactics. Uncontactable customer service that book calls a week out and don't even call at the allocated times. They often make stocks and coins untradable when it suits them so you miss out on the chance to buy or sell when its optimal. Spreads are unpredictable and unexplained. Currently I have been locked out of the app for close to 3 weeks and have been unable to withdraw or make trades. Zero help from support staff. I assume they don't exist.
App screen keeps moving upwards out of the screen area. Shows a white bar at the bottom that keeps getting bigger the more you navigate inside the app. Have to restart the app every few clicks because i cant click anything after a while. Unusable. This is happening since a month or so. Need a fix asap with highest priority! I saw people complaining in the app too.
