UX Pain Points

Design and usability issues driving negative reviews.

Trendlines shift when changing timeframes

Technical analysis tools like trendlines don't maintain position across timeframe changes, disrupting chart analysis workflow

"When you create a trend line and switch time frames, the trend line moves. That is super annoying."

Limited investment universe access

Users cannot access specific equities and ETFs they need to track, making the app unusable for their portfolios

"the app does not allow access to a number of equities and ETFs I need to follow so it is essentially worthless to me. Not sure why the available investments are so limited in number."

Confusing indicator implementation

Some technical indicators like zigzag are poorly designed or difficult to interpret

"Zigzag indicator is confusing but the rest is ok."

Account activation and setup friction

Users struggle with initial account setup, SMS verification, and activation processes

"Cell phone activation is not working, no answer from support by Skype!"
