The app allows traders to access a wide range of markets and includes educational resources, although it lacks direct trading from charts, which some users may find limiting. Overall, it is rated 3.8/5, with strengths in multi-asset trading and customer service, but noted for not being UK-based and lacking direct market access.

Is XTB's trading app any good?
Yes, XTB has some pretty good trading apps. They offer MT4, MT5 and xStation Mobile, for traders to trade on the move. Of those, I would say that XTB's xStation mobile is very good, especially compared to basic CFD mobile trading apps like eToro.
Specifically, the app highlights your favourite markets, and what is “hot” at the moment so you can see what traders are trading as well as sentiment indicators for those most popular markets. You can filter XTBs client trader sentiment by buyers and sellers, and also by asset class, so you can see where order flow has been going and decided if you want to follow or take a contrarian position.
Charting is nicely layed out, but you cannot trade from the charts on the app (you can on desktop), but the crosshairs feature, does give you a visual of where your orders are relative to support and resistance on the same screen, which is a nice touch.
I did find when trading on the app though there is a good “Discover” section where you can view popular markets such as stocks that have exposure to “inflation protection”, environmental assets, top ETFs that are being traded and also a tab for stocks and markets that are being talked about on Reddit.
You can get access, via the app, to XTBs educational videos, such as their Masterclass, and interviews with people like Jamie Rogozinksi from WallStreetBets.
Overall, the app has some good features and is a good complement to the main trading platform.

XTB is the worst company I have ever dealt with.
AVOID XTB - they are dishonest and poorly managed. I currently have 2 cases pending against them. The first is their complete refusal to comply with GDPR and the second for refusing to transfer my French PEA account to another bank. Both of these incidents are highly illegal and the French authorities are involved. The UK and Polish head offices are aware of the situation and doing nothing to help. AVOID XTB at all costs.
Efficient
The layout of the app, the low cost, the efficiency of placing a trade, the educational resources.
Reliable
The customer service is amazing. I have an account manager that checks in with me. I use them for Stocks, ETFs and my ISAs.
Best Trading platform
Best trading platform in term of execution and market updates.
It offers everything I need
I find the platform easy to use and it has everything you need. I have created my own Investment Plan and I invest in stocks. Not much of a risk taker myself. I have spoken to the account managers a few times too. They are super helpful and there to answer any questions you have. The platform has gotten better over the years and has definitely improved. Overall it offers everything I need.
I like it
I had a great experience with XTB! The platform is easy to use, and I love the variety of trading options available. Their customer support is fantastic—always quick to help when I have questions. Plus, the educational resources are super helpful for improving my trading skills. Overall, I highly recommend XTB for anyone looking to trade!
