Overall a great app that is easy and offers plenty of options
I love this app; I really do. In my opinion, the only real thing missing is the fact that not all stocks are represented (albeit plenty of the main options). However, the main thing that stops me from giving 5 stars is purely the fact that they don’t have a DRIP function whereby any dividends are automatically reinvested in the stock that paid them out. other than the slight lack of stock choices and absence of DRIP, it really is a solid app and incredibly easy to use (not to mention cheap).
Best platform after IB
A great, user-friendly and cheap way to build yourself an investing portfolio. A fan from day one.
Where to put my money
I’m not a stockshark, so I wanted to find a reliable and simple to use app with a relatively cheap fees. I’ve find all this in Lightyear.

The best investing app
I like how their app looks so good and a bit futuristic. They also made investing easy and with really good conditions. I love their saving option, where my money gets paid interest, and it is hassle-free to invest via Lightyear.

Convenient, hassle-free, reasonable prices (US market), no ads – wonderful choice for someone who invests or trades with small sums. Excellent reports for tax-declarations (at least for Estonian residents).
