Could be better. One thing I would like to recommend, add vertical bars to separate days on charts like the PC application has. It's rather difficult to see where one day ends and another begins without using "highlighted" extended hours. I don't want that on my charts.
Reluctantly updated from a few revisions back... Now the watch list is unusable. The watchlist always scrolls to the bottom by default and is numb to tap sections. Reviewing top securities means scrolling back to the top (every time), then multiple taps before the details will finally open. What used to take a few seconds for reviewing the details of 5 securities now takes agonizing minutes. Charting is also still broken with unpredictable default zoom. A 10-day chart may only show two days, or be squshed to half the screen- and it changes ever time you open it!
Since the last update, the app has been telling me every minute or so that I have lost network connection. It then attempts to reconnect and does successfully, but with much disruption. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled and the problem persists. Wish we could get back to pre-update funcrionality.
The app is not terribly designed, it's actually pretty easy to use and good enough to execute trades on a daily basis... The major problem is, once you buy equities a different prices, the app no longer shows the true average share price correctly. This obviously causes huge problems when figuring out profits, losses, and exit strategies. not sure why they would ever allow this. I have contacted them about this issue several times and they continuously say "they're working on it". I call B.S.!
I may raise the rating if I can get in! Keep getting error message for "no Internet connection" - even though it's just fine and I can go anywhere else online. Also, cannot download ThinkOrSwim to ChromeBooks desk top, as it is not a compatible platform. If this were remedied I wouldn't need the app. As it is now, I must switch to my Windows 10 computer to utilize ThinkOrSwim. FYI - this app seems to work fine on my Samsung smart phone and tablet,...
Fast orders for when im on the go! Playing optionns and seeing the Option Chain layout real time. Ive been with TD for 2 years now. Never any issues. Of course its not the desktop Quality but it gets the job done. Also any Technical Analysis youve done on PC can transfer and sync to your app so you still have your levels / plan for the day or week ect.. love TD!
I ran the update and now I can not see any of my accounts! Nothing shows up! I can not check ANYTHING! What gives! I explored the settings. Nothing helpful. Logged in again after 8 hours. Accounts are back. Yea! Increasing rating to a 3 from a 1 for now. Need more time to explore this app. I'm just so happy I can see my accounts again.
I have been using the TD Ameritrade Trader app on my tablet and mobile phone for many years. In general, it is a superior app than what is offered by other brokerage firms. I use it to trade stocks and options. The latest update, 84.10, is not usable because the screen colors have change to such INTENSE COLORS that it actually hurts my eyes. The red, green and black are horribly painful! TD Ameritrade....PLEASE change the colors to the way it was before the update! Thank you.
Have used for over a year and essential. Disturbing trend on changing layout adding unnecessary boxes and spreading out info so cannot see as much on page as used to. Lowered rating for buy/sell boxes on graph detail paging. Sorry. Lowering one more for latest change adding boxes on position list page... scroll scroll... That trend on ui is Not my friend;)
This gets stuck way too often. Especially once im actually looking at a stock. it gets stuck when i try to scroll up or down. ill be looking at a graph and try to go down to see my indicators such as RSI and stochastic and it doesnt move. luckily this was with paper money but imagine if this happened with real money trading. please fix this as i prefer it over desktop. i like having the mobility so i prefer day trading on my phone. but its too unreliable to make major trades.
It continues to give error msg "slow connection " this is the error when I have high speed. When I switch between live trade to paper money the prices are different even when I have real time activated for both accts. The app buffers all the time which cost me money on trades really lose money because when it finally stops buffering iv lost most of my profits....this is just bad and its the same on their TOS APP
Downloaded this after ThinkorSwim stopped working. Doesn't work either. Both behave the same. I try to log in but get stuck in a loop returning me to the opening screen. Was getting "no available network" error prior to reinstalling app after which I got what I described above.
Was once a great app is now trash. It keeps crashing when i change the settings on my charts. Where has the stock info gone to? what happened to level 2? What abt after market data? What's with the delay? Fix it please or else these 2 stars stay.
The new update does not show the companies on my watchlists, only the ticker symbol, at least on my Android. The layout does not feel smooth. I had no issues with previous app, it looked and worked really well
I like the way this app functions. However, for options paper trading, the price for the same order varies up to a staggering 6 dollars with the desktop application. Please find a way to rectify this problem.
The new app installation crashes on cancel and replace option orders. the help desk suggestions to delete old cashe and data files on an Android phone before a reinstall did not help. Any suggestion is welcome, I am stuck. This is the same symptoms that the new THINK OR SWIM MOBILE APP FOR ANDROID. need. help. New is not always better.!
Great app, have some trouble occasionally with transferring funds to my account, but with a simple call to the TD helpline it all get sorted out within 10 min or so. Wayyyyy better than other investing apps (cough cough Robinhood) where you can't trust where they put your money. Love the app. Recommend it to everyone. PS though setting up/linking your bank acc to the account is confusing lmao but other than that, dank app ha.
Lagging Quotes!!! I love the UI and the marketed ease and convenience to be on your mobile device. But, this should NOT be used for active trading!!! BEWARE!!!! My app is lagging a good 20 minutes behind the market. When stocks can swing > 5% in a minute, why would anyone choose this platform and potentially lose by inaccurate data when expected to be real-time????
It's a great app, but it's been running slow and occasionally freezing up lately. I think it's been making my phone run slow as well. It just started happening recently.
Having issues with the app saying "no network connection, check settings" while on WiFi and LTE. Obviously have data, have restarted my phone, cleared cache, force stop, nothing works. Please fix as this was working fine before.
Too many glitches. Simply rotating the screen will send it back to my home screen. The latest updates took away my finger print quick access to start the app. Got slower. Freezes up.
the app is super glitchy. nothing works correctly. constantly says your connection is slow. nothing loads correctly. I usually use etrade mobile app which has none of these issues. also, why does td need 3 or 4 different apps? super confusing
Is app worked great until it will not let me open any particular stock and see their charts or their news. Every time I click on it the app shuts down every time I feedback nothing is done about it it has been several days that this option has not been working it is imperative that this option work
I seldom want for the desktop version, the mobile version supports custom indicators written in thinkscript, has all the advanced order placing I could want, and is just so so so good. Oh. And the dev team is responsive and positively a pleasure to talk to!
Crashes every single time I try to view details. This app used to work fine but now I'm sure people are missing out on thousands of opportunities to save or make money because this thing has gone down the toilet. Please fix this before we all have to leave TD.
Easy once you familiarize yourself with the app. Would like to see split views so you can buy/sell based on what is actually happening. Right now when you leave charting screen to trade you no longer know what is happening. Overall goo sc app to trade with when not in desktop TOS.
It worked for a while, then none of the charts would load. Tech support said they have pushed an update but still haven't got an update and still doesn't work.
This app updates charts so slowly. I can usually start the chart update, turn on wifi hotspot, load google finance on my laptop and see a chart faster that way. Want to set an alert? That can take several minutes too. Internet connect speed makes a difference but it's unbelievable how slow it is at times when the connection can load web pages in a few seconds.
