Its great for starting out, but needs developed for advanced users
I started out with lightyear, still use it. Its great for start, it has things I never imagined I would like to have.
But now looking more seriously into investing, it could need a bit of development - add possibilities to draw lines on charts, maybe make it possible to see instead of 1day, see 1hr; 30min the chart.
Will keep using it, but also hope for further development.

Well designed and trustworthy
Really well designed product with good rates (as far as I’m aware). Seems to be a really safe and trustworthy platform. I love how they weave in the news articles and other bits of content on the platform.
Really quick to do transfers and trades.

Missing features
User interface is intuitive and easy to use. Costs are great. Trading options are very limited, especially stop loss and other delicate trading settings are missing for the most assets. It can easily cause serious profit losses.

Inexpensive broker for ETF (no charges when buying or selling) and for shares (1 EUR buy/sell). Not all ETF and shares are available. Slightly high conversion rates if compared to other brokers. Stop loss not available for certain products which is annoying.
I’d suggest they implement a debit card for the account to complete the circle.
