  • aaa_awais awais aaa (@aaa_awais) reported

    @IGClientHelp It's not intermittent ..it is quite consistent problem now. Please fix this..otherwise I have no choice to leave this platform...we are paying 10$ per trade comparing with IB which is costing only 1$..We deserve better service than this.

  • Kush1707 Kush Shah (@Kush1707) reported

    @IGClientHelp Cant login since US open, please update.

  • dirossiale Ale (@dirossiale) reported

    @shabakNuke @picfwd @IGcom When you get through the consumer dept. the recorded message will tell you that they're currently busy. Just ignore that warning of delayes and wait for someone to answer you withing probably less than five minutes. Good Luck. IG index are really bad during the volatile times.🤞

  • PowerTradeSetup Chris (@PowerTradeSetup) reported

    @IGClientHelp Plus the platform is so slow it takes too long to enter trades and the cancels due to price movement within that time !

  • sullicath Catherine O'Sullivan (@sullicath) reported

    @IGcom please sort out login I switched to you because I need a reputable broker.

  • sarahjennings01 Sas (@sarahjennings01) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom Service has been terrible... no access at all. Thinking of going to #uniswap

  • Pav10110183 Pav (@Pav10110183) reported

    @IGcom guys, this week has been the poorest platform performance I can remember. What are the underlying problems for the service issues?

  • maneco1964 maneco64 (@maneco1964) reported

    @IGcom @luxmanage1 Why don't you employ more brokers to pick up the phone when your system is down? Why not spend $1 billion employing humans and improving your systems instead of buying another online broker.

  • ppeterclay Peter Clay (@ppeterclay) reported

    @IGcom @IGClientHelp WAKE THE F UP!!! No support, no update... incompetent! Update your clients, they are losing money.

  • JPJAUST PJ (@JPJAUST) reported

    @IGClientHelp This is a joke. Your platform is down everyday at exact time market opens. There is nothing to investigate - your infrastructure cannot handle the load, yet nothing done for days

  • snakesalive74 Snakes Alive (@snakesalive74) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGSquawk "Some users", "intermittent"... hmmm....

  • Bowen85AI AndY B (@Bowen85AI) reported

    @Kyle_Reed @IGClientHelp Had this problem yesterday but them put a limit to my stop position so I couldn’t move it lower forcing me to with close or wait for it to close automatically. #crimewatch

  • Faulkos Ryan Faulkner-Hogg ⚓ (@Faulkos) reported

    @IGClientHelp everyday for the last 3 days the exact same problem has happened - I am not suggesting collusion just embarrassing incompetency - fix your broken platform.

  • Thevicious5 The vicious (@Thevicious5) reported

    @IGcom @luxmanage1 Yeah I get a real sense of 'urgency' when it's down for this long

  • SamanthaWork SNW (@SamanthaWork) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hasn't been an intermittent issue but continuous on both web and mobile platforms

  • Skooterz2 Skooterz (@Skooterz2) reported

    @IGClientHelp Yes, this is the second at around the same time, if this is any help to you, costing us both money

  • Kyle_Reed Kyle Reed (@Kyle_Reed) reported

    @IGClientHelp Publish the link to Pro-Realtime for everyone :- if this might just be a case of MyIG that's broken

  • serocan95 . (@serocan95) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom Literally every time there is market volatility your servers go down... this cannot be coincidence. At least then do not advertise yourselves as the best brokerage frim in the UK. $CLOV $KMPH $GME $AMC

  • nylelevi Nyle Levi (@nylelevi) reported

    @IGClientHelp I’ve been a long time customer but if I can see other platforms running while this one has been down for an hour and a half during the most crucial trading hours for the second time this week then I need to seriously consider staying. You’re playing with people’s money here.

  • AngeloR30700761 Angello B (@AngeloR30700761) reported

    @IGClientHelp Are you joking your whole global server is down since 2.30 UK, Singapore platform. Not just me either.

  • WaveControl1 Wave_Control (@WaveControl1) reported

    @IGClientHelp This was an issue on the USA open but I'm logged in now. Hopefully this doesn't happen again. I got a taste what Robinhood folks are going through.

  • Bowen85AI AndY B (@Bowen85AI) reported

    @nylelevi @IGClientHelp Same, used @IGcom when it was IG trading never had a problem. I’ve won some and lost some. But this is not losing this is steeling. The big boys don’t like to take the hit and expect us to all get wiped out.

  • Aimbig2 BitofaCoin (@Aimbig2) reported

    @IGClientHelp 3 Days in a row you deliberately crash the system at 14:30. Why?

  • jamsugg sam (@jamsugg) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom App fully down for me and has been since 14:30 on the dot 🤔. And even if/when I did eventually manage to login via laptop it won’t let me trade!! Absolute shocker 🤬

  • mojn89 Origami lover (@mojn89) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom *correction* not some users but almost every user. your service is becoming poorer each time there is a volatility on US stocks. I hope people file a law suit against your restrictions on purchases of GME and AMC stocks from the past couple of days.

  • Man_Tin_Man tinman (@Man_Tin_Man) reported

    @IGClientHelp Its an not intermittent issue, its a not working at all issue.....

  • amitpanchal76 Amit Panchal (@amitpanchal76) reported

    @IGClientHelp as a customer I expect a solid service and this unreliability all week is not what I need. How can you compensate me ?

  • mikerwarner Mike (@mikerwarner) reported

    @IGBank @IGClientHelp I was locked out due to technical difficulties on your part and lost out on closing a trade for $10 now it’s down $20 that’s a $30 swing y’all ****** me on.

  • steve_najjar Steve najjar (@steve_najjar) reported

  • MuneebYounsi Muneeb Younsi (@MuneebYounsi) reported
