This apps looks and feels like it is a series of afterthoughts tossed together. It does not present like there was a master plan to conceive and develop a robust application. The charts are absolutely terrible; the worst I've ever seen. No streaming data whatsoever. The free and public Google & Yahoo Finance websites are more useful, which is sad.
Charts need to be so much better. You can't read scale easily and they don't auto size to screen. The result is you don't know when trends have occurred... Especially when pinching to zoom in or out. Terrible and needs fixing. Also, only orders placed same day show up. Can't seem to check on older but still active orders.
IQ edge is good but we need a better app also as people have school, work and commute/travel all the time, we can't always be on front of the computer. Last update was in 2015, I mean come on you guys have the money to hire better app devs that can make this app 10x better.
Don't bother. The app simply doesn't work at times. Tried selling shares and it states I am trying to go net short, so doesn't allow. Tried buying shares with enough funds, and it says no money. Lists profits as losses in the total return. Have to go online, which is slow, to make certain trades with no logic to when and why.
update 0602 Still a sluggish second rate trading app only for the most rudimentary use. Ill say it again. App requires a major overhaul both in performance and features. Why reinvent the wheel. Look at what others have done both right and wrong. Think or Swim app is near perfection.
Despite my previous one star. The app seems working fine now. I did not have experience any sort of bugs **Im gonna give back a one star to the app. The chart on the mobile app is not update properly when you refresh it live and compare to the current price of the stock. P&L are always delay U REALLY NEED TO UPDATE THIS APP QUICK!!
This app has been in need of an overhaul for a long time now. Speaking to QT staff reveals they aren't too sure what they're doing about it, or when. Still can't access news properly. Purchasing a data package doesn't apply to the app - which is a complete joke. There are NO technical charting tools. An organisation as large as QT is fully capable of producing a proper app, this is a total mess. Unbelievable.
It's happened far too many times. With the current downturn I've been pushed to my margin requirements. I've been trading just one stock since with small volume and it will yet again get pushed down to where I get a margin call, then immediately go back up the next day. Always about 30 minutes after I buy a stock, it will dive. After I sell, it skyrockets. This makes Questrade profit off of my back and it seems like there is something extremely fishy going on with these trading patterns.
It's straightforward to use. Lags behind sometimes. The app doesn't rotate which would help chart viewing. There is also a scrolling issue. Once you remove your finger from scrolling it snaps back. I have only noticed this in the news section though.
After the update that was supposed to transform the app on December 12, my app loaded up to the new version one time. After that, it reverted back to the old version and now it won't show any charts and is pretty well useless. You guys need to get it together. All of the major Canadian banks have better apps than Questrade, and it won't be long before people start to take their business elsewhere. Instead of trying to entice people over with free iPads and fees, try fixing your base experience first!
You can't even see the bid/ask at the same time and need to cycle through - REALLY annoying! The navigation menu is in the top left corner and is impossible to reach for right handed people on anything larger than an iPhone 5. Meaning LITERALLY 90% of all users need two hands to navigate. They should change to a menu that's accessible from the bottom with more white space and ability to swipe between screens
I've been kicked out of my profile every time I do research on companies. (Going into news and what not) I'm hoping they fix these issues as well as make the side bar a little easier to use. Also need a home button as when I go into balances or positions I can't get back to search up anything
The app is really quite useless. I can see my balance but cannot see the status of orders, positions, etc.
There's some bug in the app, where I click back (e.g back out of placing a new order), and the app falls back to the html5 version of their website. I hate it.... And I can't seem to get back to the app, I need to explicitly kill it from android settings and restart.
Everytime I try to log in whether I'm using Wi-Fi or data it gives me this message: The connection was interrupted. Please try again later. Pretty useless if you can't even use it.
Please update this app. Crashes all the time on launch saying connection issue even if connected. Cant scroll down to read the news releases. Using back arrow takes you out of the trading platform and into your my.questrade account? Needs work.
90% of the time doesn't open, just goes to a white screen. When you can log on it never shows any of the orders. The only thing good is the current holdings and balances.
Installed in Android 7 and after the initial splash up logo, there is only a blank while screen. Nothing coming up. This seems to be a junk app.
App starts loading, then the screen just goes white. Phone is only a month old. The app previously worked too
I use this to check if orders have been filled, and it works great for that purpose. Buying and selling seems to work easy enough.
Cumbersome, but does the basics that you need. Their new app is much more polished.
They finally fixed the charts not showing but it is glitchy and slow. Fine for checking on positions or updating a stop but not for trading from.
Questrade has done a great job with their web interface but this app is absolute garbage and needs a complete rebuild. Quite easily the worst app on my phone right now.
I like my Questrade desktop platform but this app is completely useless for trading options. I've been using it for years and the company hasn't changed anything. Pretty annoying when you are at work during the day and want to place a trade. If this doesn't change soon I'll have to shut down my accounts and sign up with Think or Swim.
