The option chain showing all Xs combined with precautionary settings that cannot be changed has me rating this as 1 star. Tempted to leave for brokerage with better mobile app. Fix it already!

With the recent upgrade, I started to experience disconnects and my studies regularly disappear and require me to recreate them a few times a day. Pretty poor execution and app could be actually dangerous if you use it for trading.
June 9 update- please fix the options pricing. The prices do not show and it is not possible to trade options easily at this point. Option prices are blanked or crossed out. Definitely a "To go" app. No comparison to work station but gives you a good pulse of how your portfolio is performing. You can do simple buy and sell of stocks options easily. If you are a day trader trying to make a living using this app, I think you are expecting too much. You should be on the work station working not running errands (mobile) and working on the go. Addition of account management is good but it is buggy. You can not scroll reports or generate pdf of the same. The reporting needs to be fixed. Overall a decent app to achieve basic trading goals. Please fix account management.
2 weeks with no fix to broken options... Unacceptable.
It does what it needs to but its not "sophisticated". For example the charts. You can view chart in various increments (5,15,30min etc) or by time period (1day,week etc). But you cant set it to show you 10min candles over the past week. Or the order entry. You get a qwerty keyboard for something that can inly have digits, making entry awkward. Those are basic things! Features of this sort are available on bucket shop brokerages even, so why does IB not implement something more industrial strength? Oh, I know... They are not concerned about mobile app because hobbyist traders are not their core business. But still... I wish theyd spend a little money on a decent app design.
Please update it to IOS 8 and iPhone 6
Options issues are fixed, however, now in the "portfolio"tab it doesnt show the info like last, unrlz PL, bid, ask, ... (except position).
Support for iPhone 6 / 6 Plus display would be nice... Phones been out since September 2014. Get with the program please...
and should have a better UI
Support for longer passwords is a welcome addition. It will be good if there is a way to integrate with password managers like LastPass. Keep up the great work.
Do not upgrade if your version is 2 releases older. The app runs very slow after accessing option chains.
This app looks as if it was deigned for iPhone 3G and hasnt been updated ever since. Not worth doing a wish list here, you need to simply redo it all. Look at td ameritrade app as a reference.
Its a terrible idea to put unrealized pl together with daily pl, which is very confusing for users. I strongly require to remove the daily pl
Ok, it works. BUT doing anything beyond basic is like pulling teeth: no ability to group positions in portfolio to make a spread, filtering/sorting/adding columns leaves much to be desired. No ability to set up price alerts on the fly, price alerts menus have too many layers, option chains take forever to load... Daily P&L is a good idea but why only in Watchlists? Arrg!
I like Interactive Brokers, but this app is very disappointing relative to the quality of their desktop TWS app and way behind the mobile apps of the other brokerages. Rate of development and improvements seem very slow. How can they not have support for the bigger screen of iPhone 6/6s plus after a year?
For a broker that tends to cater to active traders, this apps charting abilities are probably one of the worst in the industry. Im not looking to actively trade from a mobile but charts on this app are ridiculous. Could take a few cues from most other brokers. Maybe more customization of charts, fluid price action, etc. For a clue these developers could try checking out think or swim, Oanda or many others apps.
Great app, doesnt work on latest iPhone update. Crashes on startup
Seriously? How can you even release such a poor app? Please rework it from the ground up.
The app works great as a mobile manager for the TWS, but is missing a way to quickly check your P&L for the current day, as you can do in the PC desktop version. Adding that would make this a 5-star app.
The data in my portfolio doesnt show up. Every time they pushed an upgrade but no real issues was addressed! Can u please learn from Robinhood?
