Great app for watching prices, easy to make purchases, but SO EXPENSIVE! Around 10% on every purchase. 60$ turns into 55$ after buying, for example. And God forbid you sell or trade it cuz that will be another 5$. Absolutely terrible trading/ transaction app. Navigation is confusing compared to others. Last resort crypto transaction app. Download if you want to see prices, blacklist if you want to transact. Youre better off spending money on an Uber to find a crypto atm.

They say "no fees" but the buy rates are 2.5% higher than market and sell rates are 2.5% lower than market and other apps from what I can tell. They should just be transparent. My first transaction went through, but I placed a later transaction that disappeared from my account. Rates should also auto refresh on a trade app, but they don't. Setup is quick with instant transfers.

Hi Sean, as we've always emphasized, Uphold is not a free platform. We charge a spread and in times of extreme volatility, the range of spread may widen. To learn more please visit our website: https://uphold.com/en/get-started/service-fees https://support.uphold.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038604752

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I am not a big trader and had a couple hundred bucks in the app, which I did not check frequently. I recently went in the app and to my surprise, my account was being closed with no notice. I reached out to support as to why and all they could say is it is due to suspicious activity with no option to defend myself. It took a week to get a response each time and they finally refunded my money that I put in, not including my profit.
