Misplaced orders(double) due to app error
The app is rubbish and honestly I am not joking… I regret putting my ISA, SIP and wife's ISA in here. I chose them because of so called spotless reputation. The problems are many, the app is sluggish, little functionality compared to other apps and worse of all transactions can give errors that result in miss placed orders. Plus their so called “top customer service” won't even acknowledge this problem if because of them refund me the unfair fees that are resulted from this app issue and apologies… So here is what happened to me…I place an order but I got an error and got prompted with retry button. Did click that at 16 seconds apart(their support told me this time) and the order got done twice. One confirmation email immediately and one next morning.(that shows again they are all over the place). It's very bad because this was a all of my cash and it's a big sum that I wanted to use later. No one would do twice the same identical transaction(because you get charged twice) I tried to argue at least to refund me the fees because it's obviously their app problems that resulted in this. I am not sure if I will complain to FOS in UK because they need to change behaviour.

Keeps crashing! App has been fine until last few days but now when logged into account keeps crashing as I attempt to look at rises/fallers which is frustrating.

Poor. Forces you to add money via website. What's the point in the app?

This app is going downhill rapidly. Repeatedly issues where it says no stock holdings in account rendering me unable to check prices or trade. Please sort out this buggy app.

Good dedicated app, there are a limited number of things you cannot do from the app which is frustrating but 99% of daily activity is spot on. Would help if they fixed the way some feeds display, they don't reformat nicely for a phone screen. Minor issue though!

Need to bring back the ipad app
For the amount of money they make and the amount they hold of mine I would have thought they could afford to bring back the ipad HL app. Using this phone app on the ipad for quick access is a bit rubbish. I know there is the website but that is slow to get through security.

Some flaky maths!
The app is pretty good at showing instantaneous share and fund prices and for dealing online, even using a phone. However, the portfolio valuations and/or daily changes can be inaccurate. For example, I have had a daily change in cash that is significantly different from the reported percentage change that day; it was not possible to establish which, if either, was correct. Similarly, I also had an occasion when there was a very large daily loss (>5%) reported for the portfolio as a whole, when just about every share and fund rose in value that day!

Lower the trading Fees
Good app which I have had for years and will never change. However, I use IG more at £3 a trade . Come on HL you are too expensive .
