Stay away until they fix it!! – E*TRADE: Invest. Trade. Save. Review

I used to like this app until I was forced to ‘upgrade’ it yesterday. I cannot say enough bad things about it now – it is completely useless and unusable. If you want to throw your money away go right ahead and download it. I wish I could give it minus 5 stars. I day trade options and continually tap between the option screen and the chart of the underlying security. Previously, when you changed screens/windows, real time streaming used to kick in immediately, but now, after the first couple of times when it still does, it can take 30, 40 seconds, even a minute or more before it kicks in. I look at the security chart decide I want to trade an option that second, tap back to my options screen, and the price is stuck at where it was say a minute ago for at least 30-40 seconds by which time my $3 option is now $4 and the limit price I entered is long gone and I miss out completely on a trade.Or if I want to close out a position, I have absolutely no idea what the last option price is. It’s cost me $1800 in the last 10 minutes alone. In fact, though I can’t be sure, it seems to me that the option price is running 30-40 seconds behind the security price, like when you watch a movie and the sounds out of synch a second or two. Stay away until they fix it!!
