This is a wonderful trading app situated in Middle East, this trading app really easy to use & the user interface is absolutely stunning, I was hoping to invest and trade, but what turned me off is the withdrawal fees, it’s much higher than the other trading platforms. 25$ just for withdrawal is really a lot. So I’m hoping to see some changes in future. Baraka team proving to have many potentials, I wish their team all the best.
I have never seen such a smooth app.

I have had my share amount of issues in the beginning especially with the CS Team. They weren't really kind and helpful either. But once I got in I am hooked to it. This app is so smooth. From UX to the Dev teams, Hats off to you for such an awesome application in the MENAPT. Honestly speaking, they made it shares buying smoother than ordering on Talabat. Invest wisely everyone. And learn through their courses in the app.

Excellent

The app is great, with a simple and clear pricing. and I hope it stays this way(because companies become greedy once they got more users, investors). I haven't tried the deposit feature yet, but buying and selling are smooth and easy.
Still slow and bugs remained unresolved since long time
Pilot Bo Naser
It is still extremely slow or unresponsive during the first hour of market open, making it nearly impossible to place trades. Additionally, when I try to buy a stock, the app shows the wrong menu which i have already shared via WhatsApp to Baraka support, but the auto response is your typical to respond.These problems have been ongoing and are affecting my trading experience. I am seriously considering moving to another, more reliable platform.
