thinkorswim: Trade. Invest.

authentic rating

thinkorswim is strong on desktop, but the mobile version is in trouble right now: recent builds demand a new iOS and cut off login on older iPads, leaving people without access to their accounts. Those who are in complain about slow chart loading, crashes and dropped connections during trades. For seasoned options traders the power is there, but the interface is complex and increasingly trails TradingView and Moomoo.

About the rating

The stream is honest and angry: nearly every complaint is about the same forced update that cuts off login on older iPads. The very low share of five-stars matches the texts, no manipulation.
