The platform is Good but not Enough

The platform is good but not enough, I have subscribed to a standard plan and expected I will get a good stock analytics and support but to my dismay, the other platform that I used before is much better when it comes to analytics. I am still not leaving freetrade because I already started my S&S ISA in their platform, but hopefully they will provide more extensive stock analytics and support.

But overall, the platform offers a variety of stuff where you can invest your money and I like the ready made portfolio.

Hopefully they will launch copy trading or copy portfolio soon.

Thanks for your feedback, we appreciate you setting it out so clearly. We're sorry the analytics available haven't matched what you expected from your plan, and we've noted your comments on this along with your interest in copy portfolios. It's good to hear the ready-made portfolios are proving useful in the meantime.

If there's something specific you feel is missing, please email us at reviews@freetrade.io so we can pass the detail on.

A stockbroker to cover most of your needs

No standing or dealing charges, availability of GIA, stocks and shared ISA, SIPP. Access to a great stocks charity, notably to some gilts.
They do not provide USD holding facility, and every transaction incur FX fees though.

Thanks for the detailed review! Glad the range of accounts works for you, and good to hear the gilts access is getting used. Your point about a dollar holding facility and currency costs is a fair one, and we'll pass it to the team looking at what we offer next.

If you want to go into more detail, we're at reviews@freetrade.io.

Easy to use, but data too basic

Its easy to use and good value, however its difficult to manipulate data in a useful way and somw elements seem to have been half introduced and given up on so there is information of questionable value.

Easier to use than most similar apps, but almoat impossible to do anything useful within the app in terms of bespoke tracking.

Thanks for the review, and for taking the time to explain what isn't working for you. We're glad finding your way around is the easy part, and sorry the tracking side isn't doing what you need it to. We'll make sure to take this into consideration.

I like this app as it is easy to use

I like this app as it is easy to use, pays interest on cash in my account, transactions are quick. Any enquiries I've made get a quick and helpful response. Only downside I've encountered was I wanted to buy some stock that was not available on the app. Also I've encountered problems moving cash from my general account into my ISA account.

Thanks for flagging this. Please accept our apologies for the wait, particularly when you were given a timeline to expect. The good news is your tax certificate should now be there in your app.

If you can't find it or something doesn't look right, send us your details at reviews@freetrade.io and we'll pick it up.

June and still waiting...

I first contacted Freetrade at the start of June to help transfer a junior ISA. Despite a large number of messages back and forth and me occasionally following up to see if this has been done or a definitive answer on how we do it, we are still waiting for the transfer to happen. Really bad experience. The worse part it's a transfer from one Freetrade account to another.

Reply from Freetrade

Thanks for taking the time to share this, and we're sorry you've been left waiting this long. Months of messages without a clear answer isn't the experience we want anyone to have, least of all on a transfer between two of our own accounts. Please send us your details at reviews@freetrade.io and we'll make sure to chase it properly.

I won’t lie when I first transferred my…

I won’t lie when I first transferred my older pension which wasn’t working well, I was a bit list but managed to find a couple of simple funds to invest in which has saved me in fees as well as based on performance better growth dispite the fluctuations that have happened this year.

There are many breakdown which I won’t say I am completely on top of but offers a way to see & investigate how it compares with other options, noting some can spread & manage it all in individual pots something I’m not quite ready for but regardless it starts to open up the information so you have the options

Thanks for your feedback, it's much appreciated. Feeling a bit lost at first is common with a pension, so it's great to hear the information in your app helped you get your bearings.

Simple and intuitive to use.

Simple and intuitive to use with a broad base of access for your average investor. Security and features make the application secure and safe, which has given me a good level of confidence.

I have to pay over £900 in CG tax because they put my funds in a GIA instead of an ISA… no reasonable person would invest £20k in a GIA if they’ve been given an option of an ISA. The complaints and support team were absolutely useless

Reply from Freetrade

Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry you've been left feeling this way, particularly after already raising it with our support and complaints teams. That isn't the experience we want anyone to have. For the future, an ISA is something you can open in your app at any time, and we can talk you through how it sits alongside your other account.

If there's anything still outstanding, please email us at reviews@freetrade.io and we'll pick it up rather than ask you to start again.
