| App Review | |
Deriv excels with its straightforward app design, enhanced in 2025 with streamlined position management and clearer contract details, alongside its diverse trading opportunities, from traditional markets to custom indices that simulate real-world markets and offer 24-hour trading, including on weekends. The in-app chat assistance, which can’t be found at many alternatives, is also fast and reliable, providing an important layer of support for new users. These all helped Deriv secure DayTrading.com’s ‘Best Trading App’ award in 2025. |
Deriv GO, previously the Binary.com app, offers an easy-to-use interface and various trading instruments, including 24/7 trading in both standard and unique market-simulating indices. It stands out with its fast and reliable chat support, a rare find among competitor apps, providing essential help for new traders. |
