Im currently using Ninja traders phone app along with Thinkorswim app when I'm on the road. The NT8 app is terrible for charting but the order entry is decent and its got a few neat settings that I use for intraday trading. Granted they may not be as useful for multiday swings. I use the TOS app for charting, its good enough for a chart with vwap and a few MA's. Context: I have accounts with both brokers for desktop trading but since I work on the road so much I figured id give their respective mobile apps a try.

No, I’m still on the free version. I imagine the app is similar to desktop in that there are features missing on the free version but I can’t confirm that.
