Very intuitive interface
Very intuitive interface, and prompt helpful support when I have asked a question. If you can introduce fractional etfs and shares to the ISA, it will be even better.

Much more retail trader friendly than IBKR.
I've just started a (hopefully) long journey with them.

So far I really like it. Easy to use.
So far I really like it. The platform is intuitive. I like the separate savings account.
Information is displayed well. I can quickly see the most important info.
The best part for me is the ability to make an investing plan out of stocks and indexes where you can either make payments manually or even make automatic payments. You can choose exactly what percentage of your money should go in which stock or fund.
The plan makes investing hassle free and let's me focus on other activities.
