I started using this app 1 month ago after spending a lot of time in simulation trading. When I click on a chart for price analysis, in this case Micro Crude Oil, the app Crashes repeatedly. If it wouldn't crash so much i use the app more... I am using the Samsung galaxy s23, don't know if it makes a difference or not on what phone is used.

Wow what I would give to have the old app back. The screens that were simple they have made busy. The font shrunk in half. The shading is opposite of the old app. This is the worst update ever. It is bad enough thinking of moving my accounts. Edit... this app just keeps getting worse with every update. Wish I could be logged in with the app and the computer.

The old app was absolutely brilliant! However the updated supposedly more modern version is a total disaster. You cannot read the symbols very well because there is a half shown description underneath it in white that just muddies up the screen. We know our symbols we do not need the description. Then when you try to read what price your symbol is trading at you get lost into jumble of numbers it's really hard to track to the right. The font is way too small for old people. And more.

Redesign looks great! Some feedback: *Bottom axis indicator name takes up a lot of space that it's graph could be using. Consider making it a watermark or something instead. * Showing filled orders on the graph doesn't seem to work for 1m and 5m charts. * The bottom bar is very close to the trade confirmation button and will pull you out of your trade if you accidentally press it Security concern: if you exit the app without authenticating, the next time you open it, it will let you in w/o auth

I periodically try out new online brokerages to see if anything really impressive is out there and so far, out of a dozen I've tried, TradeStation is certainly the worst online brokerage I've encountered. Between clunky functionality, a general lack of transparency, and a bevy of fees ("there's this fee, and this fee, and then this fee") it's perhaps not surprising that they also have to make the process of closing accounts as byzantine and time-consuming as possible. Best left in the "station."

I like the options chart feature. Thank you. Update - Great app. Clean and smooth UI. One thing I don't like is after authenticate shield 2FA is complete it directs to the desktop web page and not the app. It's recently not been doing that. But when it does I have to clitch navigate away and back to the mobile app. A little buggy log in but still giving a high rating.

This app keeps nagging me to rate so here it is- slow , clunky, and bad ux. How about not interrupting people with unnecessary popups? Added to that, it constantly logs you out or fail to update charts. I also hate that it forces you to constantly do 2 factor authentication despite logging into the same network with the same device over and over again.

Desktop program is highly advanced, but missing things. It's really annoying that the tools don't snap together within it, but they actually load up in the same place every time so I guess I can overlook it. The mobile app is truly hideous. Nowadays many brokerages allow you to have the same indicators and chart styles across desktop and mobile platforms. I can't have more than one exponential moving average on my charts with this app. Guys, you have an epic desktop platform. Fix this app ASAP.

Update 9/7/23: went from usable to unusable. Everything is hardcoded and limited in the app: * can't see more than today's orders * can't change the automatic timeout hardcoded to a couple of minutes * very frequent crashes * sometimes after a crash the app is stock with a dead window over the login botton. The only way to be able to login again is to reboot phone or reinstall app (killing the app won't work) * the account balances shown are not correct

Black screen when opening the app. Seems like others are experiencing the same issue. It was working great like usual the day before... Edit: Uninstalling and reinstalling resolved the issue for me...also noticed that you have to do 2 factor authentication everytime when logging in. It's annoying. ----2nd edit: It's super annoying now when opening the application. It takes you to the browser on the phone to sign in before signing on the app. Went from 5 stars to 3 to 1....
