Check what the app actually offers
App store descriptions and broker marketing can describe features in broad terms, so it is worth confirming the specifics against the broker's own current documentation. Look at whether the app covers the instruments and functions you need, and whether anything is limited compared with the desktop or web versions. Do not assume parity across platforms until you have confirmed it.
- Confirm which instruments and order types the app supports in your region.
- Note any functions that are available on desktop or web but not in the app.
- Check whether charting, alerts and account management work as you expect.
- Review the app's stated device and operating system requirements.
