Trading 212 Reverts to Old App Interface
Trading 212, a UK-based financial technology firm offering commission-free trading of stocks, forex, ETFs, and CFDs, will reverse the interface redesign for its app after traders warned they would switch brokers. The company initially rolled out the redesign in mid-December, introducing a bubble-style layout, but it immediately received backlash from retail traders who said the changes buried critical information and made the app harder to handle.
The firm’s community platform was flooded with hundreds of complaints about the new interface. Users pointed out specific functionality losses, including the portfolio value graph losing axis numbers, pending orders no longer showing cash allocation amounts, and the interface ignoring user color theme preferences.

A company representative, KrisG, announced that an update in January would restore the previous layout, stating in the community forum: “We appreciate your feedback on the portfolio redesign and understand the concerns it raised. Based on what we’ve heard, we’ll be rolling out an update in January that brings back the previous layout.”
Users were vocal about their dissatisfaction, with one creating a special account named “IHateTheNewLayout” to complain about the new layout. Another user, NakamuraRTS, wrote: “The app feels completely unserious. Who creates charts without a Y-axis?” They also added, “People are using your app to deploy their life savings. Do better in 2026.”
