TradingView is a powerful charting and analysis platform highly valued by many traders, but its mobile app has significant usability and performance issues, especially for paid features, making the paid version questionable for mobile-only users.

  1. [R26] 1/5 · US Overpriced: Overpriced

  3. [R356] 3/5 · GB Too expensive!: Better if you lower your fees
  4. [R19] 1/5 · US refund: try to get a refund that they charged me for two plans during the 4 th of july special
  5. [R49] 1/5 · US Scammers: No support, no one to get a hold of regarding refund for false advertisement. The subscription says 30 days free but immediately charged me and once I cancelled my subscription i was unable to contact customer service. Apparently to get any help from them you have to pay for it!
  6. [R52] 1/5 · US Credit card issues and double charging: Awful customer service. No phone number and you can’t open a ticket while on a trial subscription but my issue was their problem charging my card to no longer be on a trial subscription. Now both my cards have been charged.
  7. [R91] 1/5 · US Beware of subscription charges: This company will bill you for services not ordered. And, when you dispute the charge, they restrict what you can do on the account. Good luck with customer service. IF that exists, someone tell me.
  8. [R35] 1/5 · US Don’t put adds on premium: If you pay for premium you will get TV add pop up on your chart. I will not be renewing and will go to MMT. This is a JOKE.
  9. [R92] 1/5 · US Blatant Lie: They used to allow you to have as many symbols as you wanted, then they locked that behind a $20 a month paywall. So now I only have 26 that I follow and anytime I try to add another symbol it says “you’ve exceeded your 30 symbol limit with your current plan” and this problem has persisted for years. Pretty sad evil money grab.

  11. [R244] 3/5 · US Like desktop but NOT phone version!: I enjoy it on my desktop BUT on my phone it doesn’t include the premium pkg. I have . They limit entries to basic. Also can’t communicate with them!:(
  12. [R620] 3/5 · CA Manipulation: L’application manipule certaines données comme les prix, supprime les informations du passé (n’être capable de voir une action seulement 1 ans dans le passé malgré les 10ans au paravant) et ETC.

  15. [R44] 5/5 · US Master Maker: I am new to trading; I am not reckless, which is to say I was schooled once with an option trade, and I stepped back, and into the Trading View sphere. Now, thanks to Trading View, all I do is learn, learn, read, practice math and learn more. Trading View is comprehensive and can also be customized to your tastes, trades and what YOU care about. It’s all there- and the papers, artic

  21. [R309] 3/5 · GB More glitches - you keep making it worse: Website and service is 11/10. This app used to be perfect but as the “engineers dilemma” exists they have decided to change things that didn’t need changing and made it worse. Please stop the flickering glitch where the crosshair flashes at 100mph randomly until you click off it. It’s giving me a headache. Thanks!
  22. [R31] 5/5 · US Excellent app: Very useful when I am not at home ,same screen charts that teje one in my PC
  23. [R115] 3/5 · US App is kind of hard to navigate: Although this app is amazing on a computer or MacBook, this app really seems to fall short on the cell phone. Maybe it is better on iPad, but it is not compatible with iPhone. Very confusing and unclear.
  24. [R181] 3/5 · US Lacks a lot of the features of the desktop app: The screener in particular really needs to be added
  25. [R71] 4/5 · US iPad version needs work: The iPad TradingView app needs to be closer to the desktop app Right now it’s the mobile app on a bigger screen when it comes to running it on your iPad It needs the ability to have multiple tabs open Also, the Magic Keyboard trackpad is useless on TradingView Would be nice if it could work like the desktop app
  26. [R1] 1/5 · US No response from help desk: Trying many times to have conversations with human and just the virtual help asking the same questions is just frustrating.
  27. [R18] 1/5 · US .: No customer support
  28. [R7] 1/5 · US Engine not working caused losses: I had trades where the candle went past my take profit and the engine wasn’t filling the take profit order and that caused me to miss out on two winning trades. And then I had orders where I would place it and it would be filled immediately after placing it saying I reached my stop loss when the candle hadn’t gone near my stop loss and I suffered losses because o
  29. [R13] 4/5 · US Lagging: For the past three weeks TradingView has been lagging when putting in orders. Once it didn’t take me out at my SL but when it finally closed it was at my set SL.. it’s acting weird lately thankful that it was paper trading.
  30. [R21] 2/5 · US Full screen chart mode: On my iPhone 13, the chart works normally, but when I tap the full-screen button, the screen turns completely black and no chart is displayed. This happens with all symbols.
  31. [R27] 1/5 · US High premium for broken crashing and freezing app: Loses will be reimbursed in courts while alternative is been build, TradingView blocked my build indicators because it caused and created risk to the MM but they don’t understand what I shall build to destroy all who intervene shall we see
  32. [R50] 4/5 · US Almost perfect: Charting is what it is. TV is the boss. Everyone knows this…. But since I signed up on an android (which failed… thanks google 😂) I can’t update any billing information or change any plan settings without first buying another android and logging in and making changes. Which will never happen. All billing should be managed from browser and app. It’s not that difficult actually. Just
