BDO Securities Mobile App 4+

As an investor who relies on BDO, having a working and useful app is must especially at this time and age when we have to joggle plenty of things. This app has lots of bugs and often times it’s down during trading hours. Upon signing in it will automatically log you out with session expired error even I just literally signed in seconds ago. The app is not even optimized for bigger iPhones so not sure how this one got passed App Store’s review. I hope BDO with all the money they have invest on this platform to make it more useable. Else, I will really need to find an alternative platform for trading and suggest everyone does the same till BDO gets their act together and stop being lazy. This is a shame of an app and we Filipinos deserved better!

First, I would like to congratulate the company in providing this app. This is a great achievement for the company. Although there were some things that needed to be fix, overall it is a great app for your clients and future clients.

I do have some minor suggestions.

1. Watchlist Tab
- I think it would be best to maximize the ability of the app by providing an Alert Price on a specific stock, it will be triggered once the Market price hit the alert price. I know some security measures needed about this but I am hoping you can look into it.
- the mini icon on bottom right that allow us to change the view of the watchlist, I think it would be better if you interchange this with the “Add(Pencil)”.

2. On the Home tab / Overall tab
- maybe you can insert the Details of the Portfolio?
- or maybe instead of separating the buy and sell tab, you can combine them in a tab called “Trade” and add the Portfolio tab upon doing so.

3. On the portfolio
- maybe it would be better that the column that needed to be viewed first were (Last Trade Price, Unrealized Gain/Loss Amount, Unrealized G/L%, etc.)
- remove the Buy and Sell icon to free up some space, and change it with the action of upon tapping a stock, a popup question of Buy/Sell will appear; or even some minor details like history, etc.

Thank you and more power. Keep up the good work. 😉👍

I don't usually review apps, but this app that BDO made was a pain to use. First is that your UI/UX designers should improve the overall interaction fo buttons, icons, and better paginations for users to have a better experience. Next is that Tell your back end developers to implement better sessions to prevent unwanted "session has expired", this situation just triggers on any page, which is considered as a bug in the algorithm of the app. Next is that, just please, as a Company, invest and implement the latest technology when it comes to software development. As a developer, your app needs a real overhaul both front end and back end. Don't deploy an app unless it is fully ready.
