Simpler Trading Mobile 4+

I’ve used it on my iPad quite a bit. Here are some observations. The audio is quite good for a mobile app. The video is also good even in spotty coverage areas. Sound quality is good, most features also works. It’s a little glitchy when trying to switch from video to comments.

I wish there were two things that are important to me as an observer and someone who is trying to pay attention:

The app needs a volume control. Either it’s on loud or it is off. No in between.

The app also needs a zoom function. It’s impossible to see the very small fonts or indicators or charts on a mobile screen. Very frustrating to not have a zoom function.
I’ll update review in the near future.

This app locks up every time I use it on an iPad or iPhone.
Alerts show up behind the streaming screen with no way to acknowledge the alert to cancel it. This locks the portion of the screen at the bottom where you can chose to go to the chat, screen, alerts or room files. You can’t even leave the room.
Only fix at this point is to close the app but swiping and log back in.
You can not mute the app with the volume buttons but only by going to the settings on the bottom (if that isn’t locked out) and turning audio off.
Chat should be on same screen as the video, otherwise you keep switching back and forth. You can’t see the presenter screen when entering a chat.

The biggest useful tool of this app for me would be the alerts. The traders are pretty good about posting RT alerts for real trades. So you have the app open and an alert comes in and and you want to read it. It does not load the most recent alert at the top of the list. You have to refresh the alert list. It clears the whole list and then spins and asks if you are connected to the internet. Then you may have to logout and log back in to try again. All this takes about 5 minutes! By that time the entry is usually gone because the room has loaded up on the trade. Basically ridiculous that they can’t do this better.
