Buy shares when the market is closed
We should be able to place orders when the market is closed and some of us are busy during the day.
Unhappy
The phone is useless noboddy answers and the email as well useless
Oil and ZAR view
Enjoying the app but cannot see the ZAR against dollar etc and current oil prices on log first dashboard. I think you had it in the past.
Features are too limited
Additional functionality is required similar to what’s available on the desktop version. Like the company information dividend history. When companies results are coming out, sens information etc.
Graphs Need Fixing
Nice app to use but the 1m and 3m graphs don’t work properly. Need to add a share lookup function.
Intuitive
Intuitive, very best
Nothing changes
I wrote a review 4 years ago on here saying this app needs a refresh coz it’s boring and stale and lacks features that some competitors offer. In 4 years nothing has changed …. Nothing…!!! For the fees we pay monthly and the fees we pay per trade, does SBG securities have no money to spend on development? Even the website hasn’t changed for over a decade. These guys have the laziest developers in the industry …..!!
Much better release
My problems solved, thanks!
Expensive and unnecessary
Having a standard bank online share trading account is a waste. It’s unnecessarily expensive (R110 a month), they charge you over R100 for every trade, and you can’t easily see a long list of your previous transactions without needing to click multiple times to get the dates right. I’m more a fan of easy equities for my investing needs. I guess this is worth it if you’re an active trader because then the fee is less (I think). They also have a decent educational and analysis resources.
Good app
I love the app and the functionality. The app on iPad doesn’t have a back button when you’re viewing your watchlist.
Awesome trading site
Quick,easy and user friendly. Keeps my valuable assets in check on demand
Unacceptable slippage
Cost me a lot of money today - slippage, lag, whatever, unacceptable. Will be looking for other better options. Very very unhappy
Great App
I love the app, however could you please change the user interface and make it look lively like the new standard bank app.
Statements and certificates
How do we retrieve statements and tax certificates from this app?
Slow loading
Since a recent update, the app takes far to long to load the Home Screen after logging on.

Best app
Unreliable
App is great, but resetting user names is impossible and the app will crash when you need it most
Phone app is great, watch app is silly
I love the phone app. The watch app would be great if you didn't first need to log on to phone app, kind of defeats the object!
Difficult to use
It is difficul to use this app.
Great and easy to use
Good graphics, easy to use and great experience
Funds
Cannot with cash
Face ID
Can’t log in with Face ID anymore app just freezes now when trying to log in with Face ID. Didn’t have this problem on previous versions
Trading made easy
Easy to use, convenient and has all the functionality to perform trades anywhere.
Withdraw funds
I’ve been struggling for a few days to withdraw the available cash from my OST account to my current account. It should not be this difficult?!
Login issues
I’ve never had any issues for years, but for 2 weeks now I can’t login at all. Tried to delete and install the app again and still I can’t. I think you guys take more effort and time to update/resolve & introduce good features on the normal app but that doesn’t seem to be the case for OST.
Feedback
Very happy with thé functionality of the website, only negative thing is the feedback from enquiries, which is non existent-asking for feedback regarding in person seminars if it can be re-instated again after covid
Trading
Not the best app to trade shares probably 2 out of 10 compared to most trading platforms
Dark mode not supported
Dark mode is my default for my OS. The app doesn’t display correctly and cannot see how many shares I hold for a particular company and also can’t see the original purchase price. Can’t use the app without this information. Please fix and test properly.
Mr John macrides
Prices not live ,,, U trading on my orders. Front running !!! Orders @ market are blocked ,, can’t trade @ market. Slow inefficient infected system
App not working
The app simply does not work and cannot be compared to what competitors are offering in terms of share trading platform. Very disappointing that a financial institution such as Standard Bank would offer such as a trading platform and still be quick to charge normal brokerage charges.
Dark mode theme is unusable
I like this app generally but the new theme looks terrible in dark mode. Grey text on a blue background makes things very difficult to read. These kind of things are annoying to develop but make the world of difference to your users…
Watchlist Amendments
There doesn’t seem to be any means of deleting old watchlists from the app.
OST
Useless . Klaar
New update
The new update of colours in the app makes it very difficult to read and I’m becoming frustrated to use it. I’m hoping they go back to colours which allow certain sections to be read. Wanted to buy shares today and couldn’t read the amount for costs. Can’t use dark red wording with a black background. It isn’t legible in small writing. So I didn’t make the trade.
Best app for trading on JSE
This is hands-down the best app for trading - quick, simple, easy to monitor and manage your portfolio from the golf course.
Worse and worse
With each update, this app loses functionality and introduces more admin headaches. Methinks Standard Bank needs some fresh blood in the app development team before this app becomes a quirky remnant in the museum of most the world’s least impressive tech.
Update needed
This app needs a refresh. It’s looking stale and hasn’t added any new features to enhance the user experience in years..... would be great to see your portfolio standing without having to go into each share.... would be great to see the days move, the weeks move or the months move on your portfolio..... would be great to also see your web trader account and to be able to trade webtrader using this app....
