The mobile app is great but I feel like overall it is a little bit slower than apps like webull. I do wish that Firstrade 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 webull has and robinhood has to an extent as well. It would be nice if firstrade implemented this feature. Currently 4/5 but adding that feature/speeding up interface would make the app 5/5.

So far, the trading is fast, but that is if the app opens. Currently, it keeps saying I have no internet, but I am at home with a full strength WiFi and all my other apps recognize the signal. Its really frustrating when you can't trade and want to on your phone. I even restarted the app multiple times, even Un-installed and re-installed. Still no luck. Come on First Trade.

Not great. App does not allow me to make a deposit, even with a linked account. There is no tutorial on depositing funds, only account linking. As a result, cannot receive the free stock incentive for 1st deposit (deadline was new years). There is a very long turnaround on incentives. Incentives aside, I found the app to be lackluster with minimal features, lack of additional market data, etc. UI feels very dated and bland. There are significantly better options for app based trading.
