StreetSmart Mobile Positive Reviews
So far so goodI typically use a desktop to trade and cell phone to monitor positions. I didn’t know this app existed, but when I wanted to see futures the regular Schwab app required me to install this. I typically don’t I stall apps with this many negative reviews, but I noticed most of them were years old.
As I have only used it a day, I don’t have a total picture but I have traded on it without it crashing, used charts, looked up options, moved between several different accounts and so far, so good.
If it becomes unreliable, I wil update the review. Otherwise, feel sure that I am still enjoying it..MikellblVersion: 2.0.5
Long time customerI have been using Charles Schwab since 1998 and I am totally satisfied with the professional service. And when I have any service questions or need assistance on the phone they actually answer the phone immediately and that means the world to me. Awesome service. I recommend Charles Schwab to all of my family and friends. They are the absolute best and safest company to do business with. Keep up the great work Schwab. And Thank You so much for being the best.
Sincerely,

Easily Intuitive InterfaceHighly recommend having a Schwab Tech support person talk you through the set up. Once they point how how easy it is, you won't be frustrated. I love it from Day One. Much better than Think Or Swim for a new trader..Gulfwar2vetVersion: 1.0
Face ID no longer worksSlightly irritated that Face ID does not work anymore. It also doesn’t keep an updated version of your amount in your bank like the Charles Schwab app. If your money in the app ready to use gets swept into a sweep fund Streetsmart will no longer let you use that income. Please update problems..Dison11Version: 2.0.6
Best place to trade futures optionsThis is the best place to trade futures options in real time. Hands down the best at what it does. In terms of prettiness, it could be better. The all in one trading ticket is hands down the best in the industry for futures options..Nickname74626277Version: 1.0.3
OkIt’s OK. I wish it had face ID login option instead of manual pw each time it times out. Looking forward to when Schwab’s brokerage accounts have access to ToS which has a great mobile app. This app is better than nothing when on the go though.Reviewbyme2Version: 2.1.0
Does the job!No issues, I can quickly enter and exit a trade, check charts and my account..Felicia McC.Version: 2.0.8
Managed expectationsThe app works well enough for my situation. I only use the app for order entry . One major improvement would be a dark mode! It’s all white, at 5am with screen brightness all the way down.... ouch ..Dont£want€8#|cknameVersion: 2.0.4

StreetSmart Mobile Negative Reviews
Don’t waste your time. Go to TOSShocked that Schwab doesn’t offer a better mobile experience for frequent traders. Just go to Think or Swim and don’t look back. Too many features missing to even type them all.
Sooo many extra clicks required to do one simple task, or to monitor your positions In Real time. If you make more than a few trades a day, stay away!
Here’s a few:
-No pull down refresh on positions page, also doesn’t live refresh
-No life refresh. Period. Even on a live order your submitting. Has the quote significant changed in the last 10 seconds since you decided to create this order? You’ll never know. I would never submit a market order on this app. You have no idea what your price will be.
-Few links to anything to do research from an order, including options chains from a live order
-No push notifications for trades?!? What is this 2010?
-Manual login now required each time with no remember me or FaceTime option?!?.BcnelenVersion: 2.0.8
Bad data feeds and always crashingI’ve been using the app to trade futures and futures options. The data feed seems buggy as its giving incorrect prices for p&l purposes which could scare someone into thinking they’ve lost on certain futures positions. Needs massive improvement not just on the accuracy of their quotes but the stability of the app is just unreliable. I’ve had this app crash multiple times and to makes matters worse, it tends to hang up when trying to pull simple quotes.
I hope Schwab fixes these bugs. The integration with optionxpress is now complete and the question comes whether or not they want to continue supporting the futures segment of their business..Rdp916Version: 1.0.1
Can’t use app without futures on your accountI don’t trade futures, but I do trade options, and that is a nightmare to do on the basic Schwab app. I thought I would give this app a whirl, but it won’t even let me sign in if I don’t have futures access on my accounts. I shouldn’t have to apply to add futures to my existing accounts just to have access to a decent trading app. Not everyone can sit at their computer all day to scan for trade opportunities, and the basic app is garbage for trading. Maybe slowly fading my money out of Schwab and into another institution isn’t such a bad idea after all..MadMANskootVersion: 2.0.6
Even worse than it was beforeI use Street Smart Edge daily as I trade options, stocks and futures and I have been a schwab customer for many years. Now, Schwab came up with a new “update” which requires that I manually type in my password each time. Previously, I was able to use my FaceID and Apple Keychain to save my password. Now, I have to manually copy my password and paste it into the Password field.
This ads extra clicks for me. Schwab is awful. If anyone thinks otherwise, you are wrong. I am moving over to Tastyworks at the beginning of the new year..ReviewerokcVersion: 2.0.6
Has a long way to goI recently migrated from Interactive Brokers to Schwab because I changed firms and I sorely miss IB’s mobile app. As an avid options trader, Schwab’s app is missing almost all the functionality a trader of spreads needs in the app. There’s no way to add spreads to watch lists, I can’t customize the watch lists, symbol
Search is pitiful, commissions are easily 3-4x higher, and not to mention Schwab needs to update their margining system. My margin requirement tripled when I moved over. Anyone who wants to be an options trader should choose interactive brokers if they have that option..CaliSaviorVersion: 1.0.3
Disgracefully bad appThis app is pathetically bad - I have lost thousands of dollars in poor/sluggish execution due to it messing up my trades or requiring me to re-enter them. Aside from its labyrinthine design and poor execution, the user interface is horrifically ugly and dated - evoking late 90’s internet platforms. I’m not sure what kind of customer this app is made for, because it doesn’t suit anyone. Having a product like this is surprising and embarrassing for a company like Schwab which emphasizes good customer experience..AnselsteeleVersion: 2.0.9
Miles Behind the Actual Schwab AppWith all of its money Schwab still has not updated this app to make it more user friendly? It’s so annoying and confusing to use. It’s organization seems like it was created to intentionally be confusing and give you adhd. I love the Schwab mobile app, and I hate the street smart app but for some reason they only let you do REAL trading on this app or their website. Thus reforming this needs to be a priority!.PlayboyIrvVersion: 2.1.2
FRUSTRATING!!I’m seriously thinking that the people that wrote the 5-star reviews work for Schwab. I opened an account alongside my Ameritrade account as the E-Minis are 20-50% amount if you day trade and are out by the end of the day. I’ll typically make 10+ trades a day (effortlessly with my other app) but Schwab would allow me to do 2 contracts for every 1. Unfortunately when there are so many errors and misquotes, it’s not worth it. I’ll keep my money in there for now but I’ll hold off on using the app until it’s come into this century!!! PAINFUL.AkjulianaVersion: 2.0
Schwab’s Audience ...I have for a short time used CW’s website, street smart app and the Schwab app, all three are not in my opinion active trader friendly. I think Schwab is looking for more casual/less frequent traders. ThinkOrSwim is light years better than this. Don’t even try to get a good entry through the website it takes forever just to enter a bid. I’ll be moving to another broker soon, hopefully these guys work their backend to work with TOS. In my opinion their software presents to much risk in just executing a trade..PcxmacVersion: 2.0.3
Poor operationSlow operation and poor user interface. It stopped opening (loading) out of the clear blue. I'm downloading and reinstalling to see if I can get it to work. I have Streetsmart Edge on my computer but I really need this app to work on my Iphone XR. It seems like I've had trouble since updating my Apple Version to IOS 15.4.
CONFIRMED! After installing, removing, and reinstalling three times, this app will NO LONGER OPEN since my iPhone XR updated to IOS 15.4..3:24 a.m.Version: 2.0.6
Fails @ LoginAs a Schwab customer, I expected the StreetSmart mobile to work.
After submitting the user ID and password and hitting Login, next a message pops up regarding Forex, Futures and margin. After selecting OK in the message box, the password field is empty and has to be typed in again.
After reentering the password, the message box appears again. It’s a constant circle that never resolves, blocking any ability to actually log in. Frustrated, I deleted the app..LivingWithInterestVersion: 2.0.5
Can’t log in since the last updateIt’s been four weeks since I could log in. Just says “wrong password” even though I’m using a password manager and definitely am not getting the password wrong. No link to reset the password or log in any other way. The login screen almost looks like an error page… are there any active developers for this app or is it abandoned?.Warbring3rVersion: 2.0.6
Doesn’t add up!Have been monitoring my positions...options prices are streamed nicely but spreads don’t total correctly and/or refresh.
I really like the positions display because it groups all strategy options together as such but needs to title that grouping with the underlying stock. Also wish desktop version had this display format.
Still not totaling options correctly. Guess it’s not important to them. Will be using the app for gross figures but not a valid trading platform..Excessive_ThinkerVersion: 1.0.1
How long do we have to wait for you to fix the password problem?Seriously, this is incredible… We wait for updates, update comes through stating bug fixes but here we are… Please fix the sign in so we can use our correct passwords in the Apple system password manager…I know the username/password is correct because it works with the Schwab app and through Safari…. Please….FireMedic72Version: 2.0.9
Unusable at market openOverall, it’s a solid app that is easy to use but it frequently is unusable at market open. Nothing but error messages, connection problems and spinning wheels. A good platform on the desktop but infuriating when attempting to trade the market open - which basically makes the whole app unusable because it’s not available for the heaviest trade part of the day. Completely unacceptable in 2019..Dreamspace2Version: 2.0
App developers? NOT!!The App developers should be embarrassed of themselves for creating something that doesn’t even operate. First it was, you can’t use Face ID log in and now you can’t even log in after the fact your input username/password. Just gives you time clock but never logs in….message to app developers, quit and go do something else, you are not fit for this task. Garbage App!.RayprilsVersion: 2.0.6
Worse active trader appSo many issues can’t even name them all here. From (just recently) disabling FaceID logins to missing options pricing quotes to inability to roll basic spreads….just a garbage app. I’ve been with Schwab for over 20 years but have moved all my assets between TastyTrade and IB. Only keeping basic checking account on Schwab only because I’m too lazy to change all my Billpay’s right now..VentMan66Version: 2.0.6
Interface too darkThey recently updated this app to have a new dark look with a black background, and it feels impossible to clearly see everything. It shows the daily loss or gain, but it’s really hard to figure out how much each stock has made from the start..NatalieRK9Version: 2.1.0
Just waiting on Charles to upgrade :/Charles schwab company should hire more developers to get this app running to top efficiency. To the guys that are working on the app and it’s problem keep going I’m not talking junk about you . What I don’t like is how I can’t even access this for my mobile and just reading these reviews I am kinda glad I can’t do I won’t get the wrong data or delayed data . Please fix I kinda like this corporation!.Btp22Version: 1.0.3
An awful experienceI rarely leave reviews, but the experience with StreetSmart Mobile is so awful that it warrants one.
The application is nowhere as functional and useable as the mobile offerings from TD Ameritrade (thinkorswim) or IBKR (TWS). The graphs don’t support indicators. The trading ticket is very basic and doesn’t support more complex orders like one-triggers-OCO. And forget about tracking PnL correctly on Futures products.
One hopes that Schwab wraps up the integration with TD Ameritrade soon, brings over thinkorswim to support their accounts, and nukes StreetSmart Mobile from orbit.
PS: All of this is such a departure from the regular Schwab Mobile app, which is excellent for what it is meant to do..Savvy Investor 117Version: 2.0.5
Was good until update recentlyI’ve been using this app for about a year now and it’s been good. Recently they took away the Face ID login and it doesn’t stay logged in if you ever away from the app. Makes it annoying having to log in every single time. Gotta find a different app to trade now..Zo30Version: 2.0.6
Misleading app nameThis apparently is not a mobile version of StreetSmart Edge. I was excited to be able to use my mobile device to access my conditional trades… but surprise, when trying to login I get a puzzling message and can’t login. After wasting time I discover this is apparently a different, or limited, trading platform than StreetSmart Edge. Poor app description..Jon_100_215Version: 2.0.5
InvestorThis is a miserable app and one about which Schwab should be ashamed! It seems to have the same deficiencies described years ago. I would most notably mention the fact that the streaming frequently freezes, potentially leading a user to believe that a price is stable when, in fact, it may be increasing or decreasing dramatically! It should be withdrawn..Dirty Donnie TrumpVersion: 2.1.0
TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED!!!With a name like Charles Schwab a person would think that they would have produced a streamlined and beautiful app for everyone to use but this is anything but that!!! Horrible interface, login is clunky and the whole experience is frustrating. I really do wish that they put more time and effort into quality apps for us to use!.AbnmiVersion: 2.0.5
Can’t even log in for the last few weeksCalled customer service but they said they know it will not work; but they don’t know when or if it will
Be repaired.
Totally unusable now. Maybe they are switching to think or swim? Probably should have made the switch long ago (they own TDA also)..KS in SAVersion: 2.0.6
They broke Face IDIf the goal is to have more security, Schwab is going in reverse.
I am considering changing my Schwab password to something less complex because I trade futures and have to use this app when away from my PC. This app is unusable with a complex password that has to be entered each time I use the app.
Also, it gives an error when trying to use iOS keychain to log in. What’s the deal with that?
Come on Schwab. This could be costing your customers money every day it stays broken!
Your programmers should be working around the clock to get this fixed, if they are not already!.PcservoftnVersion: 2.0.6
Misleading appBased on the name, you’d think it’s a mobile version of the desktop Street Smart software, right? Instead, it’s an unrelated options-only program that doesn’t even work until you call tech support to get signed up, and provides little of the same functionality as Street Smart. Which is also the name of this mobile app..@J11DVersion: 2.0
Suddenly unable to loginAfter the recent update, the login page changed and now every attempt to login results in an “incorrect username/password” error (even though the same credentials using the Schwab Mobile app work just fine). What happened here? Schwab Street smart app on iPad works fine….Njm2112Version: 2.0.6
That there is no fingerprint or face login tells you everythingThis platform is so out of date. It's such an embarrassment to a company like Schwab. What is it, do they not think they're gonna be in business in two years so they don't have to invest in their platforms? Really makes you wonder....Emptying mimdVersion: 2.1.2
Downloaded and won’t openI open and the app and get the white screen of death. Nothing, not even a logo!! Why doesn’t Schwab care about the Mobile experience??? Mind blowing, I’m sure they are losing tons of potential business to other companies with great mobile platforms!!.Christyzr1Version: 2.0.8
Very slow, not as buggy as the previous opx app.Update: why is the position screen using the wash sale cost base? it makes it so confusing. I have no idea if my current position is in the black or not, unless I subtract the cost from previous transaction. lowering it back to 2 stars.
*streaming data is working now. *
*performance has improved but watch list is still not usable*
I am using it everyday. It’s getting there.
needs too many clicks to navigate. It is a little bit more stable than the previous optionsxpress app..GreatpwrVersion: 1.0
Broken loginWanted a mobile version of SSE for a while. Unfortunately, my normal login credentials don’t work on the app like they do on my desktop. Totally unusable as is. The ability to log into ones account is essential for the app to even work. Zero stars till fixed..JiggerwhoVersion: 2.1.0
Easy to trade but hard to useThe trading interface is good, has lots of powerful functions/tools.
But it crashes a lot especially during the first 20min after maker opens. and Face ID no longer works…. very annoying..TraumsomniumVersion: 2.0.6
New update broke loginWith 2.0.6 update App login became broken. Each time I open App it ask me to enter login and password and I don’t see any option to save it. FaceID login doesn’t supported anymore. Option just missed from app settings..Artem BondichVersion: 2.0.6
Not available for Schwab customersI rarely rate apps on anything but functionality, but I’m making an exception because of the branding. Why would they give this the same name as StreetSmart Edge and then not let customers who have access to that use this? Change the name or let us use it. Very frustrating..MurraycsVersion: 1.0.1
Awful ! Crush frequently and display prices randomlyIt’s definitely gone from Ok to unusable since optionxpress transfer. App loads slow, crush frequently and display prices randomly! How is this acceptable for a financial application with it’s size is beyond me. Just the last 2-3 days, I have submitted at least 5 app crush reports..SantoriniCatVersion: 1.0.1
Unable to LoginThis app is the worst. Does not let me login at all on the mobile app or a mobile web browser. I am able to login with the same credentials on schwab app and also into streetsmart central on a desktop web browser.HoaxaxVersion: 2.1.0
Barely usefulBasic function - trading futures- is ok, even though it is slow, and you can’t set “One triggers two” exit strategy.
Also, FaceID is no longer working - it is enabled in my app, but every time I launch the app, I have to enter login/password to login..OstapkrusVersion: 2.0.6
Terrible. Use interactive brokersAwful. Data stream is choppy. App constantly has bugs pulling up contracts. Fill notifications are late. Frankly I am going to pull money from Schwab. So sick of this trash application crashing constantly and not allowing me to enter trades. They have had long enough to figure it out.Bearcats5Version: 2.0.4
Shame on SchwabThey’re one of the largest brokerages and they can’t even get their act together with this app. Broken for months now, can’t even load the page to login. Moving my funds to TD (even though Schwab owns them now). At least their app works!.Gino ShemeshVersion: 2.0.6
Terrible appSchwab gets just about nothing right with this app. They even managed in typical Schwab fashion to “upgrade” the app which made it worse. The latest update removed remember my login and Face ID login. Both of which worked before the “upgrade”..Sc3.1Version: 2.0.6
Cannot use with cash account?Apparently one can only use this app with margin/futures account. If you have a cash account only you won’t even be able to open it. That’s absurd, Schwab needs a decent all around mobile trading app....Pax OrbisVersion: 2.0.4
