I feel like the only person who actually likes the Fidelity app. Sure, it's not visually attractive like Robinhood but the amount of information you get is far greater. Also the iOS app works on both my iPhone and iPad whereas Robinhood only renders the phone view on iPad. The app even has proper support for the Magic Keyboard so cursor interactions work the way they should on iPadOS. Fidelity definitely has a "boomer UX" quality about it but once you get used to it, it's really not that bad.

I like fidelity's app and website. Making complex trades on a phone doesn't make sense I think anyway. It's like programming on a phone, if you want to do anything serious use a computer.
The line between the two are blurring further every day, though. Might not be that far off in the future when they're actually interchangeable.
Hmm I'm not sure, the problem with phones is the screen size. Just getting enough information on a screen is difficult then intuitively managing it. Even a tablet might struggle.
