IG Academy is the best educator in the basics of financial markets. The content is well researched and exceptionally delivered. Although not all inclusive and detailed like a book, I consider the content of the app as a daily guide on my finger tips. The design and feel of the app is elagant and easy to use. The user-interface was undoubtedly designed with the developer in shoes of the user. If there is one thing I were to change about the app, it's the number of downloads.
Very intuitive and informative although I have not gone through the whole shebang but from what I've already read it is very interesting and easy to understand for the noobs and dummies like myself who is just starting up do as much research as you can before diving into the deep end I think this app will be a great help
Really helpful app for beginners in share dealing. All the lessons are easy to understand and end of each lessons you can take tests as well. Highly recommended.
The Academy is a great tool for beginners. As a beginner, would be nice to see what an actual trading plan looks like but overall a great app. I have opened a demo account and trying to get familiar with the platform.
For those interested in gaining understanding of trading such as myself this app is highly recommended. It has clear explanation of concepts, terms and is accompanied by videos and exercises you can interact with which reinforces your learning and your confidence. The contents are available whenever therefore putting you in control with your pace of learning and progress. To anyone interested on learning about financial trading give this a chance, wish you all the best on your development
Superior content to others I've seen. Clear, well structured format, easy to follow. Detailed and informative.
I have just opened up an account with IG and have submitted all verification documents a week ago.... I have now downloaded both the IG Trading App and the IG Academy App, the trading app works fine and I can log in with no problems but the IG Acadamy app does not let you log in, it just says lost internet connection which is not true, this app is faulty and needs reviewing so it works, this seems to be a problem for a lot of users if you look at the recent reviews, please fix.....
Great trading learning tool, lots of detail and good tips to use! Especially like the all the questions throughout the courses! Keeps you on your toes
One of the best trading tools for financial analysis. They actual have a training mode which is impressive especially for beginners and those who need a refreshers course after some beers or not making a profit and then you ask yourself, what am i missing? Highly recommended.
Struggled to setup an account, kept telling me I had no internet connection. When I did finally get logged in, it was unable to find any information for my area (uk).
How this information is free, i do not know. IG Academy is some serious stuff. Its taught me everything I need to know, including to basic information like understanding how to market works, understanding the meaning behind jargon, then there is the more advance stuff as you move along. Thankyou IG Academy for teaching me what feels like a degree, about trading!
Excellent apps. So many things to learn from here. I feel like I'd make a lot of mistakes if I don't go thru the lessons here. Still a lot to learn. This app keeps me from being overly excited to dump all my saving in stocks
A very intriguing app I have been using the virtual app for a few weeks as I am a total novice but have learnt a lot about the workings of trading admittedly there is a lot to learn which this app may provide but at a cost but you must speculate to accumulate
Best trading app ever, no ads and pop-ups. And the content is clear, and the whole design and make up of the app is top class. Even the colors are professional
This is the best app for learning how to Trade Forex. It's written in very simple English and it doesn't assume that you already know things you don't know. It even taught me how to analyze candle sticks, something I've always wanted to learn. Thanks Guys.
Great. Fantastic tool for an absolute beginner. Now if only I can figure out how to look at US charts IG will be perfect for me.
Very clean and easy to navigate. Love the lessons available. Hopefully we can get more lessons.
I surely recommend this to new traders, before you begin your trading journey download this app and finish all courses, I assure you that you won't regret. I enjoy myself here, keep up the good work 😁
Great to learn basics. With this app do attend the free lectures available on YouTube from IG Academy. Excellent app for beginner. I would highly recommend it.
I haven't used this app in about 1 or 2 years now and I forgot my username and password and cant get it reset without knowing at least 1 or the other. Cant make a new account because my email is already in use. So now I cant access the app. Great stuff. I know the fault is my own on this one for not keeping my details for an app I thought I'd never use again. Is there a way to un-register my email address so I can make a new account?
Can't login, already registered. When I tried to login it kept telling me no internet connection. Even though I'm on wifi and full reception.
I tried to make an account but just keeps saying Internet connection lost when I'm on WiFi. Then it says please contact help desk as you are having technical issues. Give up trying
Very informative. I've always wanted to do a little bit of trading and investing on the side. Can't wait to finish this so I can move on to the practice app. Awesome!
As a beginner, this app makes every topic, financial diction and skill, easy to comprehend and apply. Information provided in this course is extremely beneficial and practical, not only does it provide the theory of trading but it elabrotes on how to apply it to real life trading.
The best app of its type. Comprehensive and simply explained financial information. I actually dip into it for enjoyment not just when I need answers to something
Very helpful in understanding the basics. Hoping to continue and learn more over the next few weeks.
Really easy to understand breakdown of how investments work. Simple, bitesize modules. Great app!
Just MB graber unless you create an account the APP wouldn't open, so don't install and loose your MB and pay for nothing. Why do you have to create an account just to read the article should have mentioned in the about the APP information. A deceitfull Developer.
Great app for learning, but can't play videos, they just don't start after tapping them. Any ideas? (will rate 5 if solved)
Everything is great, but it's not perfect. I kinda hope all the courses the website has to offer is in the app too. 5 star if you can add every courses from beginner level to advance level. Oh and it would be fantastic if you can add the ebooks in the app too, even though we can just download it from the website lol. But overall, great app to learn forex
