App now too slow to use
The email authentication code took half an hour to arrive this evening by which time it was too late. Noone else uses this bizarre system.
Improve the login
What’s with the annoying email authentication for login? Get rid of it and allow Face ID or SMS 2-factor authentication via SMS like every like every other FS company. The emails take ages to come through and require flicking between apps …it’s entirely pointless and unnecessary.
IPOs
I have no idea how the IPOs offered by this app are found but the vast majority are actually offers to invest in a fund. I have seen very few ipos of actual companies that do anything concrete and two of the ones I tried to invest in were withdrawn. So, my conclusion is that, so far, any decent opportunities disappear if the institutional investors get interested.
Great app for accessing the primary markets
PrimaryBid tells you all about the companies issuing new shares or bonds in the app directly on the primary market. Usually the shares are at a discount to what you can buy elsewhere. Great way to invest and keeps you up to date with what’s happening with your shares.
Frustrating
Why do I have to enter my card details each time I buy shares? Annoying!
Sign up doesn’t work
The verification email expires as soon as it arrived in your inbox.
Does not work
Last year worked OK but now freezes up. Useless and their telephone support no better though you can get some one to speak to
