Got the apps. But are you trading yet?

You’ve got messaging, banking, and delivery covered. But what about trading? If you're already using eToro (or thinking about jumping in), they have an app built just for you.

And yes, it’s worth your time.

I’ve put together a full guide of the eToro app. What it does. Why it matters. And what you can actually do with it once it’s on your phone.

From the top features to what’s good (and not so good), I’ve organized it all here. Whether you’re just browsing or ready to make your first trade, this will give you a proper look under the hood.

Keep scrolling. It’s all below.

Comparing the App on iOS and Android

So, what’s the deal with eToro’s app across different devices?

To find out, I installed it on both an iPhone 15 and a Samsung Galaxy S24. Think of it as a head-to-head: Apple vs Android, same app, different hardware.

🔎 Here’s the verdict:

The user interface? Practically identical. Navigation, tools, layout... everything’s consistent across both platforms. You can browse stocks, place trades, or check your portfolio with just a few taps. No digging around, no second-guessing where things are.

Performance-wise, Android edged it slightly. The app felt a touch more responsive on the S24. But that’s likely down to the phone itself. It’s newer, faster, and built with 2024-grade specs. The iPhone, still solid, was bought in 2023 and lags just a hair behind in raw speed. The difference is negligible unless you’re obsessing over milliseconds.

What About a Desktop App?

Let’s address a common ask from traders who prefer the big screen: “Is there a native desktop app for eToro?”

Nope. Not right now.

There’s no standalone eToro app for Windows or Mac. If you're trading from a laptop or desktop, your only option is the web version which can accessed through any standard browser.

Is that a drawback? Well, that depends.

In my experience, the web platform works just fine. It’s stable, accessible from anywhere, and mirrors the mobile experience in terms of tools and layout. You’re not missing core features; you just won’t find a desktop shortcut with an app icon.

If you’re used to browser-based trading, you’ll feel right at home.

Downloading the App

Wondering how to get the eToro app on your phone? Let’s clear this up quickly.

You won’t find a downloadable file or installation link on eToro’s website. No APKs, no .exe files, no sideloading. That’s intentional and here’s how to do it the right way:

Step-by-step:

1. Head to your app store. On Android? Open Google Play. On iPhone? Tap into the App Store.
2. Search "eToro". Use the search bar. Make sure it’s the official app by eToro Group Ltd. There are lookalikes out there.
3. Tap Install or Get. That’s it. The app will install in seconds and you’ll be ready to trade on the go.

💾 Why there’s no APK (and why that’s a good thing)

At first glance, it might seem odd that eToro doesn’t offer direct downloads from their website.

But think about it. Downloading apps from unofficial sources is risky, especially when it involves your financial account.

Keeping it app-store only helps prevent:

• Fake eToro clones
• Malware
• Phishing attempts

This way, even if you're not particularly tech-savvy, you’re protected from accidentally installing something malicious.

So yes, it’s safer this way and honestly, much simpler.

Safety of the App

Short answer: yes. But let’s not stop there.

eToro’s app is packed with the kind of security you'd expect from a major financial platform. We’re talking multi-factor authentication (MFA), encryption, and SSL technology, the usual suspects when it comes to locking things down.

But here’s the part people often skip: safety is a two-way street.

eToro does its job. You’ve got to do yours too.

What You Should Be Doing

Use a strong password

No birthdays, pet names, or “password123.” Make it strong. Make it unique.

Update the app

Seriously. Those updates aren’t just about new icons or dark mode tweaks. They often patch security holes and keep things tight.

Watch out for phishing

If you get an email that looks a bit... off? Don’t click. eToro will never ask for your login details via email. If in doubt, go straight to the app or website.

Pros & Cons: An In-Depth Look

You’ve downloaded the app, poked around a bit, maybe even made a trade or two. Here’s my take on that (and what could use some polish).

Is it a deal-breaker? Not at all. But if you're chart-heavy or on a Huawei device, it’s something to keep in mind.

Tradable Instruments When Using the App

If you’re wondering whether the eToro mobile app holds up to the desktop version, good news. It does.

You get access to the full suite of 7,000+ tradable assets, including:

• Forex
• Stocks
• Commodities
• Indices
• Crypto
• ETFs

No stripped-back mobile experience or any feature gaps. Just full-scale trading, straight from your phone.

Every tool, every asset, every chart available on mobile. It's the same platform. Just more portable.

Want to Test the App? Use the Demo!

Not quite ready to dive in with real cash? No problem.

Switch over to eToro’s demo account (they call it the “virtual portfolio”), and you can explore the app in real market conditions, minus the financial risk.

You get $100,000 in play money and access to the same live data as everyone else. So it’s perfect for test-driving the app before making your first real trade.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Sign up for a free eToro account.
2. Once you're in, toggle to the “Virtual” mode from your dashboard.
3. Start trading, testing, and learning. No pressure, no loss.

📥 Final Check Before You Download

Before you hit download, I recommend that you take 30 seconds to check your phone’s specs; any modern device should do fine. Just make sure there’s enough storage and a reliable internet connection.

Once that’s sorted, I believe that you're good to go.

And if this helped, pass it along to someone else sitting on the fence. Trading from your phone might be a better fit than they think.
