User reviews

Users praise IG Academy for its thorough and easy-to-understand trading education, elegant and simple app design, and useful learning features like quizzes and videos. It is especially recommended for beginners wanting to develop a solid foundation. However, recurring problems include login issues, restricted course content compared to the website, and occasional regional content gaps. Despite these, the app remains highly regarded as a valuable, free resource for learning trading concepts at one's own pace.
Pros
  • Comprehensive and detailed educational content covering basics to advanced trading concepts.
  • User-friendly and elegant app design with intuitive navigation suited for beginners.
  • Incorporates multiple learning formats such as mini courses, videos, quizzes, and exercises to reinforce understanding.
  • Allows learners to study at their own pace and revisit materials as needed.
  • Free access to high-quality trading education that many users find equivalent to formal training.
Cons
  • Technical issues with app login, especially on certain devices like Pixel 6 with Android 14, causing error messages or false internet connection issues.
  • Limited course availability compared to the website; users request all courses and ebooks be included in the app.
  • Some regional limitations with content availability, for example, difficulty finding area-specific information (UK).
  • Occasional difficulties in setting up accounts through the app.

This learning app is very detailed and I like that you can learn in your own time and you can choose which part to learn and even read and recap as many times as you want.

The content via site is explendid but the app doesn't work with my Pixel 6 phone, Android version: 14, I can't log in, After registering, every time I try to log in the system sends me a technical error notification, l e-mailed the helpdesk but eventually in vain.
