How we developed the app with a brand new UI.
Today, we're starting the rollout of the Freetrade app on iPad.
โ
This has been a target of mine since I started at Freetrade and more importantly, since I bought an iPad.
โ
If you open your latest Freetrade app version on iPad, you will see one of these two views:

And eventually, all users will see the UI on the second photo above on their iPad.

Not only does this give a better use of the increased screen size, but it enables you to use Freetrade side-by-side with another app.ย

Developing Freetrade for iPad
As you might notice, the app looks very similar on iPad compared to on iPhone.ย
โ
This is very intentional, to give our customers a consistent experience, and reduce the amount of work for our developers.
โ
While some companies make completely separate iPad apps with distinct UIs, our engineering team is still small (check out the latest engineering roles here if you want to help make it larger!) so our aim was to make the iPad as minimal a change as possible.
โ
The rest of the development time was spent checking everything looked good on iPad, and working out how to roll this out โ in fact, the majority of the code has been in the app for a few weeks now!
โ
To ensure a smooth rollout, weโre releasing this in stages, in order to make it easier to figure out any problems and their causes easier:
โ
We hope enjoy using Freetrade for iPad!
