Verify app availability and core functions
Start by confirming that the app is available in your region's app store and that it supports the account type you intend to open. Do not assume the app mirrors everything available on the broker's desktop or web platforms; mobile versions sometimes offer a reduced set of instruments, charts or order types. Check the broker's own app documentation, then confirm behaviour yourself on a demo account if one is offered. Reading recent store reviews can flag current issues, but treat them as prompts for your own testing rather than facts.
- Confirm the app is available in your country's app store and compatible with your device.
- Check which instruments, order types and account features are supported on mobile versus web or desktop.
- Test core workflows on a demo account, including placing, modifying and closing orders, if a demo is available.
