The mobile app is great, but I feel like overall it is a little bit slower than apps like we bull. I do wish that Firs trade had a desktop app and/or for the mobile app to allow us to view the charts for specific contract options. This is a feature that we bull has and robinhood has to an extent as well. It would be nice if firs trade implemented this feature. Currently, 4/5 but adding that feature/speeding up interface would make the app 5/5.

I've been using First trade since I started learning how to trade stocks in 2013. They have made considerable improvements and while it was good before, it's great now. Separately, their support team is on point. You can get ahold of someone quickly, or you can opt to email. Email responses are pretty quick as well. Great platform and awesome support, continuous improvements - What's not to love?

Great trading platform but mobile app often sticks when trying to set up an order.
★☆☆☆☆Y Rabai· Jun 2, 2026
Constantly unable to login when the market is open. As a user, I find this app is not stable and reliable
★☆☆☆☆Douglas Melendez· May 12, 2025
Don't use this app they blocked and don't let you transfer your assets or withdraw your money bad experience. I don't recommend this trash.
★☆☆☆☆John Gianniny· Jun 2, 2026
The app has become incredibly glitchy in the past two days. I have not been able to access my account all morning so far, and I have active options I am trying to keep a close eye on. My money will be affected by this today. This is entirely unacceptable from a trading broker.
★☆☆☆☆jonathon elliott· May 31, 2025
I've had an account with this brokerage since 2019. I recently switched banks and had to wait the 2–3 days to validate the initial deposit(s) But then they continued to restrict my account until I submitted my driver's license and my most recent bank statements. It is 2025 and there are many other brokers that don't create such a hassle just to deposit or withdraw funds. I would advise anyone to consider this "free" brokerage app to consider the cost of giving away so much information.
