AMP Futures app
As more and more traders and investors use their smartphones for trading, it is increasingly important that brokers offer easy-to-use apps that can deliver the same services as desktop platforms.

Our main checklist for the AMP Futures app
Let's start with the search functions. Although most brokers do OK in this area, there are some bad apples out there. For example, if you start typing 'Emerging markets', will the software find all the Emerging markets ETFs for you, even if their name doesn't start with 'emerging'? If you only ever traded US stocks and start typing 'Apple', will the AI show you the Apple stock or the obscure Irish stock Applegreen?

We didn't like that you can't use biometric authentication to log in to the app. Most brokers have this function (e.g. via fingerprints or FaceID) to save you from having to type in your password every time, making it a convenient feature.
