7 great share trading platforms for mobile in 2024

Plenty of online share trading platforms offer mobile apps these days, meaning it’s now possible to trade, check your positions, and research your next move from virtually anywhere. 

But having the right platform for you in the palm of your hand is crucial. 

You’ll want to make sure your mobile share trading platform comes with intuitive features and a good user experience that fits your needs, without limiting your trading experience. 

While some of us just want the basic investing features, others want the full suite. 

So, to help you find what you’re looking for, we’ve broken up some great share trading apps into the following categories: 

Read the Tiger Account review on Mozo for more information about the platform. 

Tiger Brokers’ Tiger Trade app is quite feature-rich for a mobile share trading platform. As a result, the comparatively busy nature of the interface may not be to everyone’s taste. However, the home page is highly customisable, so you can have as much or as little as you like on it. 

Aside from its customisability, the Tiger Trade app also has a social aspect where users can discuss stocks and market movements with the wider Tiger Brokers community. This communal aspect can be useful for beginners, as you can ask questions and find out what other share traders are saying about certain stocks. 

Perhaps the most useful feature of the Tiger Trade mobile platform is the USD$100,000 Demo account. It’s not real money, so you won’t actually lose your hard-earned cash or gain anything from successful trades (except maybe some tangible experience). 

Tiger Trade share trading app features 

• Demo account for a risk-free trading experience 
• Watch Tiger Trade Academy video courses to get up to speed
• Community of share traders looking to discuss companies, stocks and market movements
• Livestreams from investment professionals 
• Customisable homepage with a range of features
• Watchlist to track stocks you’re interested in 
• Set up an auto-invest plan for your favourite stocks 
• Access reports and analysis on stocks in your portfolio
• Stock screeners.

Read the CMC Markets Share Investing (Standard) review on Mozo for more information about the platform. 

The CMC Markets Invest app packs a wide array of features into a user-friendly interface. Chances are, if they don't have a feature, your user-feedback could contribute to its integration (judging by the user reviews of the app on the App Store and Google Play Store).

Stake brings a very sleek and minimalistic look to its mobile share trading platform. The screen doesn’t feel busy, allowing you to focus on what’s there. But don’t be fooled by its simplicity. There are still plenty of features that put ease of use first. 

However, those that want access to even more detailed information, charts, and data might not be as satisfied with the Stake app.

That being said, Stake recently launched a web platform to complement its mobile offering, which includes charting, portfolio management, and stock research tools. 

Stake mobile app features

• See a real-time countdown to when the market closes 
• Switch between ASX and Wall St stocks at the tap of a button 
• See your total and daily equities, available funds, pending orders, and holdings all in one neat place 
• Set up multiple custom watchlists that display daily price movements and share prices at a glance
• View information about the markets, including the biggest movers, the most up, and the most down stocks 
• Access to announcements and reports from a range of companies 
• Read articles written by the Stake team from the app.

The CommSec Mobile share trading app gives you a comprehensive range of tools for managing your stocks and portfolio in real-time, accessing price history charts and detailed stock information, live market data and news, and custom watchlists with alerts. 

They’ve managed to pack a lot into the app for such a small screen size. Beginner investors may feel a steeper learning curve due to how much information is on the screen at once. Conversely, experienced traders may view that as a bonus. 

Stay informed with market news and videos from the CommSec media team, see the latest market movers, and view dividend and market announcements all within the CommSec Mobile app. 

A key feature that may tide Apple fans over is the ability to view and receive live alerts on share prices through the Apple Watch.

Note: The App Store (iOS) version of the app has far more positive reviews than the Play Store (Android) version of the app. So, this mobile share trading platform may be better suited to Apple iPhone and iPad users.  

CommSec Mobile share trading app features

• Place trades on the go with your iPhone or iPad 
• Custom watchlists 
• Receive alerts for watchlisted stocks 
• Access live market and share price data 
• Read or watch the latest market news from the CommSec media team in the app

Download the CommSec Mobile app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Not to be confused with the CommSec Pocket app.

Pearler says its share trading platform is catered more towards long-term investors that want to build their wealth over time. With the addition of auto-investing plans (so you can set and forget your investments or take advantage of dollar-cost averaging), the app also has the ability to help you track custom financial goals.

There is also a communal aspect to the Pearler mobile share trading platform, where you can follow ‘finfluencers’ for inspiration on your way to financial independence.

While these share trading apps are great, make sure you also consider the fees associated with trading. It’s not always about what’s on the surface.
