I use Tradier for my day trading, was previously a Schwab (Thinkorswim), Interactive Brokers, and TastyTrade client, here is my opinion.If you look at the reviews online or here, it looks as though Tradier is some sort of offshore brokerage or scam. This is not the case at all, let me explain.Tradier is an API first brokerage (meaning you develop your own financial software and let them fulfill orders for you) for semi professional clients with large accounts. It also offers a desktop platform and a web platform, plus this app.First of all, the “bad platforms”.The desktop platform is mediocre and all you need for volatility statistics as retail, the web experience is phenomenal if you simply need a PC browser window for quick trades. The pretty UI platforms need to be either self developed with API key access, or use a partner platform on their Hub. The mobile app is not designed to be what you trade on, just a pocket system to close trades and manage funds on the go, there are partnership platforms that offer a pretty UI mobile experience for your account.Next, the “hidden fees”.There are no hidden fees, everything is upfront. You pay commission to use their fulfillment services free, reduce it with their 10$ a month plan, and have better deals for the 35$ a month plan. The fulfillment fee from Apex Clearinghouse and Taxes are your responsibility as with any other service. But why charge people money for low/no commissions when mainstream platforms do it free?Because the people looking to purchase these plans are native to the SPX and XSP index world, not equity focused. Tradier offers a 10 cent index option commission for its 35$ mo plan, which is the best you will find outside a professional desk, even including the tax and transaction burden.So, if you want to trade etf and stock options with a clean mobile experience, do it on robinhood or webull. But if you are native to index options and need the lowest commissions possible per contract (Tastytrade offers competitive large order commissions as well) this is a great platform.Unfortunately this comment will likely be hidden underneath the noise of 1 star reviews for people who don’t even know what service this company provides.

This app has backtracked, contradicted, and changed their rules and regulations so many times and so frequent. They offer so resolution or solution, they simply change rules and expect you to bite the bullet. Very unprofessional and borderline fraudulent with the way they disperse fees. They charged me a fee for buying a stock, charged a fee for the stock reverse splitting, charged a fee when I sold the stock, then proceeded to put me in negative shares owing that stock and will not let me buy the stock back as it continues to rise in price, and they kept every fee they charged and screwed me over by forcing me to wait until the stock peaks to buy back. Simply put, I would advise you go and trade with a much more secure, legitimate, and ethical firm before you waste your money and time here.

The app looks like it has potential. I use the old app for trading though because this app doesn’t accommodate the larger font on my phone. The larger font is utilized, but is partially cutoff because the display doesn’t resize to fit the larger font. Because of this I cannot see all that is displayed. I’ve emailed screenshots so hopefully the developers will make the required changes before discontinuing the old app which works flawlessly for my purposes. I’m happy to change my comments and star rating once my issues are addressed and the app is usable.

This app is more efficient for repetitive trades over multiple accounts. It works fast and shows the most important information to me. Out of the 10 apps I use to trade regularly, this might be my favorite. Well done guys! Glad this is coming out. And might I mention, this app JUST released and I have had zero bugs. Great execution

I’ve had an incredibly frustrating experience with this trading platform. It takes forever just to open the app, and don’t even get me started on transferring funds — both deposits and withdrawals are painfully slow. Their policies seem to change daily, making it impossible to keep up or feel secure in your investments. The lack of leadership is evident, and crashes are all too frequent. Honestly, it’s one of the worst platforms I’ve used, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a smooth trading experience.STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLATFORM

This brokerage is the most unethical crooked brokerage service on earth. They constantly change rules and terms which are never favorable for the clients. Their fees are very high and unreasonable. The app has major engineering glitches and sometimes you cannot even log in! I honestly cannot even believe this brokerage is even still in business. Actually, after what has all happened as of recent, they probably won’t be soon. STAY FAR FAR AWAY!
