Investmate - Learn to trade shares and derivatives

Great app, really breaks everything down so that it is easily understood. One point or suggestion I have is that when someone taps on a highlighted word and is given an explanation and example of use. It would be good to have an option to choose such as "test me" which could give a short quiz or test to see whether you now understand the term and if you answer a question wrong then a further and simpler example can be given in order for the user to fully understand what is being said.

It's a little useless, tbh. It gives you a bare minimum one-sentence description of an event with no historical context and asks you if you think it made the market go up or down. It also gives you a bare bones graph of the market at the point of the event (without an axis to know the timeframe, of course). It doesn't give you a detailed description or context until after you answer, and even then it still misses a lot of details.

Close to perfect. The app does offer a pretty intuitive program, but I feel like it doesn't actually pay attention to wether or not your learning and retaining the information well. The quizzes let you continue if you fail and same with the learning checks. There's also no implementation or practice of the material. Otherwise it's fantastic.

Love it! The language can sometimes be hard to pick up but they give you a break down of the words right at your finger tips, videos included! I absolutely love the interactive quizzes - which I fail consistently 🤦🏽‍♀️. I think it would be cool to have a way to go back and be requizzed just to check for understanding. At first I didn't like that my path to learning was already chosen unlike some of the other digital learning apps I use, but as a newbie, it is good to review these basics.

Downloaded this randomly to see how educational it was. 100% worth it. This app does an amazing job making difficult concepts easy to understand and makes it easy to "save" definitions and concepts for easy reference later. It has a great blend of reading, watching, interactive examples, and quizzes to help you learn and solidify knowledge. Highly recommend!

Normally I shirk reviews despite the fact I totally rely on them but this is a good app; the information is clearly communicated without being pedantic or in relentless fast forward with horrid music smeared all over it. It's a quality learning experience that's well constructed; details like important vocabulary being highlighted throughout the text allows for a degree of self tailoring--you can sail past what you already know without stopping AND look up that which you do not as many times as you need without having to go back rummaging through wasting time some more because it helps to double check your grasp of new terms and concepts. That's just one of many helpful details but I chose to mention that since I found it particularly convenient. Doubtless everyone interested in this subject will find something different to like about this excellent product so give it a whirl I expect you will be quite content.

I'm usually quite poor at leaving reviews but I had to make the effort for this app as it's been unbelievably useful for me as someone new to trading. The language is jargon free (unless they're explaining the jargon), the information is broken down into bite-sized chunks and the user interface is simple and attractive. I only installed this yesterday and have already used it way more than I'd imagined I would. And the icing on the cake is that, so far, there have been no ads! Great work!!

My favourite feature of this app is that you can favourite some terms. I am very bad at learning new words so this feature helps me a lot. Though, I have a suggestion. In quizzes, if you answer a question incorrectly, it skips too fast that you cannot even think on "why" and learn from it. Passing to new questions could be by swapping, manually. Thank you for the app.

Downloaded this app during lockdown because I was bored. Figured might as well learn something about investing. This app blew me away. It makes learning about and how to invest fun and easy. The app runs smoothly the graphics are simple but pleasing to the eye. A feature that i would like is if there was a way to do small investments linked through the app so you can see what you're doing real time. Other than that its a great app specially for beginners like me.

This app presents the basics of global markets and exchange to those beginning to navigate the often confusing and overwhelming realm of investing. This app differs from others in it does not bombard the user with a flood of repeated information. Neither does it confuse the user with frivolous details unecessary, even prohibitive, to learning the material. It provides investment basics in an easy to remember format that focuses on pertinent concepts and vocabulary.

Clear and concise info, super easy to use. Knowledge is presented in a card format, in short, digestible chunks. You can click on difficult lingo to see a simple explanation and examples. The app is so good, I really wish it had even more lessons.

I love this app. When I first heard of financial trading seemed like such a huge concept, but when I saw this app I immediately changed my mind. Thank goodness I found it. The only thing I'd like changed is that to read the cards, you have to pull them up and those highlitable thingies now don't highlight... But that's an extremely minor issue. Thumbs and toes up lol.

Fun intro to investment terms I kind of knew but not really. The succinct descriptions of concepts is amazing. Sums up the definition of a term in a clear sentence, and the follows up with a real life example, and ends with a 'what you should know about it' to solidify what you've just learned. Saving cards or definitions helps for future recall. Only thing is swiping back still goes forward? Edit: nm, nice gesture :') down swipe brings back previous card, other directions flick it off the deck

Was looking to invest a little in some stocks but found trawling through the internet for basic information confusing. This app covers everything you need to know in one place, simplistically and cuts through jargon. There are quizes after each lesson so that you know what you need to brush up on. Fabulous app for those new to trading. Can't wait to learn more. A +++

Clean, user friendly experience which sets an excellent base which you continue to build on. Would highly recommend for those who know very little about investing and want to learn more, and even those (like myself) who have a basic knowledge and want to expand on what they already know. I also love the little quizzes at the end of each section - forces you to pay attention!

Overall a well designed app but as they say - the initial impression is the most important one and I, personally, found the first lesson very chaotic. Starts talking about what a market is and then instantly jumps into OTC trades, some IOU (or whatever it was) that isn't even explained. Few cards later they're already talking about spreads and bids. Like, gee, slow down and have some structure to it all. I don't need to be thrown straight into the deepest end in the seventh card out of 24 in a lesson that's supposed to be for complete beginners. It feels like an app that someone who knows finance inside out decided to put together without realizing that most of the people need spoon-feeding all this information. Maybe it gets better, maybe not, but if I get confused in the first two minutes them I'm slightly skeptic about what's to come.

Excellent way to learn the ABC as well as XYZ of market. I do not know any alternative easier way to learn about markets, stocks, commodities and everything related to them. Lessons are neatly organised into small cards to enable quick learning and the ability to bookmark the cards that we like is a wonderful way to revisit important yet complex concepts later on. Quizzes at the end of each lesson will strengthen the understanding gained during the lesson. Useful videos attached to certain cards help even more to explain a complex concepts using simple and engaging examples illustrated neatly with helpful animations. I would love to pay for this app.

Amazing design, I'm graphic designer so I really appreciate a well done interface, congratulations guys. I really enjoy the app, it's so easy to interact with. It's very interesting the way you learn, don't have to memorize too much, just go at your own rythm and apply your new skills with the questions.

Seems like a great app so far. Its free but is so much better than the average free app. It teaches you a lot. Good design and user interface. Would recommend if you want to learn about investing. Good for all ages. Looking forward to learning more. I love when you don't know about something it takes you to a page where you can read more. I saw someone wanted this to change to just a pop up. If possible maybe you could find a way to give the user the option of both and let them decide

This app seriously focusses well on learning for beginners. Lots of jargon is explained very simply, examples are given, things are repeated sometimes so it stays in your head easier and after some information you get a short quiz about what you read. Its structured well and easy to look back at things. I wish more educational stuff was made like this.

Still fairly early in, but enjoying that it just starts, and once you've signed up, it just continues your progress. So there is no annoying set up time or anything. Its just right to the learning! Been a great app to start out!

They throw jargon at you for a beginner course... "Though the meaning of bear and bull is obvious"... Really? 😂 You think so? When I indicated I am a total beginner? The swipe control is just terrible. It's very sensitive and will swipe cards when you're just trying to click a word for more explanation. Their simulator is also very limited. There are better apps out there with clearer explanations and a simulator that true mimick the market. The only thing worth is the trend quiz.

Great! Love the app for learning. The quizzes could use some work. It should not automatically skip to the next question, and it should show a snippet of information explaining the answer. Also wish I could do more real life example stock situations. Like due to this volcano, did airline stock rise or fall. Etc.

It is hard as a new investor to try to understand the stock market along with all the terms that comes along with it. But this app completely changes the game of learning about it. Whether you're new to investing or have already begun shareholding but still have questions then this is an app that's right for you. It is convenient, very well structured and so easy to understand I gaurentee you'll love it

Really great educational app! I found no ads and the design was really minimalistic and pleasing to the eye. It was simple and fun to go through the cards and quizzes!

I like this app it helps with fundamentals. The swipe function is intuitive. The lessons are in context that help you want to learn the material. I do fine however that this will only last a few hours to days as you can go through the lessons rather quickly.

This app has been a god-sent gift. Just when i started learning (and being overwhelmed) by the online market, this app shows up in my recommendations and its the one thing i truely needed😍😍😍 the design is really simple and elegant, the courses pretty much cover eveeything but never leave you feeling overwhelmed. This app is a masterpiece and i would rate it higher if i could!

App is clear, consise and informative. As mentioned in other reviews, the card UI is hard to use and is inconsistent with swipes. I sometimes have to swpie my whole screen 3 times while other times I'll shotr swpie once and accidentally remove 2 cards. Simple buttons would be a better option.

I am very impressed.As a person who's totally new to forex,indices,currencies and many other concepts that are mentioned in this App it is very informative.I don't believe that topics that were foreign to me are like so understandable - thanks.It is so easy to navigate,with language put in a simplest way that you grab the meaning even when jargon is used.Much appreciation.Ok
