1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Orders don’t update. I see multiple pending orders that I changed and that were either canceled or filled. This bug is only on the iOS platform.

2. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Last update broken. The last update broke the app. It doesn’t get past quote streamer now.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Non functional app on iPhone. The app requires a third part service Junior to verify identity when opening an account. iPhone won’t allow access to Julio to upload verification documents. Complete fail.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Terrible on every level. This app and the website constantly has issues. Don’t keep any serious amount of money here because at some point you won’t have access to it and they will provide no help whatsoever

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Bugs. They just updated the app and couple days ago and now it’s acting weird. The p/l open now shows all zeros. It is very annoying that when they update the app, sometimes it has more bugs. Thinking of switching

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not showing individual PL day sum for each stock symbol. Not showing individual PL day sum for each stock symbol

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Something wrong since the update on 5/12/26. I cannot see my positions and P/L since the update yesterday. I installed the app and reinstalled it and it is still the same. Please fix it asap! I cannot see my positions!

8. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

   Update broke it. Prices missing from the app under Mrk and Trd Prc, fix required asap before trading day begins

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   UI is terrible, so unfriendly to beginners. I have never seen UI designed more poorly than this. This is the most unfriendly user in interface. I think I’ve ever laid eyes on or tried to interact with. If you aren’t a freaking expert, please do not download this app. Go with something like WeBull instead.

10. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Please add active trader option to app. Please add a active trader option to app. Webull has this. Users need a 1 click/tap option to sell stocks/options fast if needed. Currently you have to confirm buy or sale order before you submit. Users need a instant buy/sell button thats executes with 1 tap. No confirm needed. Also it needs to have the option to be set as either buy/ sale market order or set as a limit buy/sale order. With the upcoming PDT rule change alot of users need this active trader option for MOBILE users.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Still charging for options?. It’s 2026 guys..who has fees for trading options?! You, Schwab, E*Trade get with the times. Stick with Robinhood, WeBull, or MooMoo if you’re a spread trader. Your UI is still terrible as it was years ago. Fees kill profits!

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Worst brokerage I have ever dealt with. Did a referral bonus with them. Took them about 9 months to finally pay me after a bunch of emails and back and forths. Do not attempt to deal with these people just submit complaints to government regulators. I never got paid until I complained to the SEC I closed my account as soon as I got paid to never have to deal with them again and even that didn’t go smoothly.

13. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Frozen Account. Back in January I was day trading like I typically did. I’ve always been a fan of the TastyTrade platform. At some point during the trade session the app and website went down (major service interruption) and it wouldn’t allow me to close out my trades or make new ones. I was on hold on customer service for over an hour trying to get assistance. Finally, once the app was working again (several hours later) it showed that I made multiple duplicate orders because when it was frozen i hit the submit button multiple times in a panicked frenzy. Because of these duplicate orders, it shows that I placed trades beyond my day trading limit. Under normal circumstances the TastyTrade app would prevent me from exceeding my day trading power, but because of the service interruption that day it allowed these multiple panicked trade attempts to go through. And now TastyTrade has frozen my account for 90 days unless I can come up with $146,000. So i guess I’m moving my funds to Schwab which is unfortunate because I really like the TastyTrade platform (when its not experiencing service outages).

14. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

    Nasty trade. I’ve literally been in open option contract positions while live I’m trading with experienced traders. And tasty trades would force execute closing my position for a loss five minutes before the option contract would rip face going 100,200 or three even 300%. This last time I put money on my account the money came directly out of my bank account two days after I made the deposit five days later and I still don’t have the money settled in my to trading account. Come on I’ve literally lost thousands of dollars trading with this app. Don’t even get me started on when I’m in an open position and suddenly they have technical difficulties and the app crashes on me and then when I’m finally able to log back on, I’ve lost 100s and in some cases thousands in profits, I’ve blown up 2 accounts because they’re app crashed.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Shady company. They preach about selling options but then close trades 30 minutes before close when they inch your way. Stay away they are cooks

16. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Too many crashes…just useless. Everything I touch only seems to crash. I tried everything to resolve it too. While I primarily trade on computer, not being able to interact on my phone is a dealbreaker, hence I will move to a different brokerage

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Jan 21 2026 App down All Day. App for iPad down all day, still not fixed

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Absolutely Horrible. Today I tried to sell my position in a stock, and it wouldn’t go through at first saying I needed to add more margin, which is interesting because you can close out a position if you have a margin call, but even more important, it wasn’t near a margin call status by a long shot. I placed another trade and I didn’t get a message about a fill so I placed another trade and it now I am short instead of long and have been waiting for 20 mins in a ph call to find out my position and another 30 on the web chat to talk to someone…anyhow this will result in a Finra complaint

19. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Buggy, Slow, and Unacceptable for Trading. I usually don’t write reviews, but this app is garbage. It takes forever to load and is full of bugs and errors. Imagine dealing with these issues when you’re trying to place a trade and end up losing money. To make it worse, when the app crashes and you contact customer service, they don’t even respond. Totally unacceptable for a brokerage app

20. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    DO NOT TRUST THIS BROKERAGE!!! Buggy App and Questionable Trades. DO NOT TRUST THIS BROKERAGE!!! The phone app is extremely buggy and always needs updating. You will not be able to log-in at very crucial times. Ever since Tom sold out, the trade activity has been very suspicious. I don’t recommend TastyTrade for your brokerage. They cannot be trusted as a brokerage.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No P/L Chart or Breakeven Pricing. This app is purported to be built and optimized for options traders…but doesn’t have a simple P/L chart with breakevens when building an order. Even Robinhood has that (!). I was very excited to switch to a platform designed with options in mind, but this is totally unacceptable and a deal breaker for me.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Balls trading site. It won’t let me trade narcotics and weapons (For legal reasons this is a troll review)

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Clunky app. The mobile app is clunky. The desktop app being old, minimalistic is at least very ergonomical. The mobile app on the other hand is nowhere close. Love their idea of option probabilities based trading. But for a broker who has no DMA unlike Schwab or IBKR, they charge a hefty fee which eats up into your profits when you follow their philosophy of small, frequent trades. They kinda get 10% profits out of your profitable trade if you follow their philosophy and advice. Definitely not worth the hassle. Not a fan of Robinhood for many reasons but it gives you way more for a commission free options trading. Avoid unless you’re very generous to make them rich.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Too much going on. Less is more. I’m speaking for most people below 25 years old. Robinhood, webull, Sofi, etc. have made it soooo simple and user friendly. Y’all just have to dumb it down a bit and you’ll have a solid app.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t use or try. This platform is the worse nightmare when they got your money, as soon your money get in, they owned, is not your anymore, customer service?. No one will be there. Your money will be freezing for 30 days you can’t withdraw or trading. Please people using this, be honest and tell in reviews.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Do not use! Beware!!. Do not use this company, they will close your account with no notice, or anything and hold your funds away from you. Customer support will just close out conversation to help just open then leave. Horrible app to trust money with. Too many better brokers out there. Don’t trust this scam!

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not recommended. Not recommended. They can restrict your account at any time and make it harder to transfer to another brokerage. Can you imagine not being able to trade or place orders while your stocks or options are so volatile? You could lose money, and they wouldn’t be responsible for it. The customer service chat is also very unprofessional.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unprofessional. Very unprofessional No sense of urgency Customer service is not open and Email you back once a day.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Options chain missing menu bar. When you are trading options using the app. The menu bar disappears down below. You should keep the menu bar consistent across all transaction.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Missing Many Futures. A lot of micro contracts aren’t offered unlike every other future’s broker, it’s OK for options, but I would not recommend if your futures trader not efficient and many products missing
