App Review
IQ Option provide a superbly easy to use mobile app. Offering forex trading, plus some bespoke trading instruments of their own, IQ deliver a slick, secure platform for shorter term trades. Recent upgrades have also synchronised the look and feel of both the web trader and mobile platform, making switching between the two, seamless.	IQCent offers mobile trading directly through major browsers with an intuitive design that we love. You can navigate your account, browse assets and trade binaries in a few clicks. Straightforward access to the copy trading feature at the bottom is also a bonus, alongside the interactive charts which you can pinch to zoom.

Copy Trading Platform
	A copy trading service is pre-integrated into the broker’s web platform, where you can follow and replicate the trades of up to 10 established investors. Where it shines is its ease of use - you simply decide how much you want to invest and hit 'copy'. On the downside, the pool of master traders is narrow and you get limited data on past performance, making it less reliable.
