IG iOS app for Malaysia

[Guest chunster]

Ever since I joined IG, I have been forced to use the web based platform when trading on the iPhone and iPad. The app is not available for download in Malaysia. I don't understand why the app is not available for Malaysians especially when all the other broker's apps are available in Malaysia. IG's web platform is buggy on the mobile web apps like Chrome and Safari. I hope IG can publish their iOS app for Malaysia ASAP.

Hi, this has come up before and has something to do with restrictions placed on the app by Apple. See this thread below.

Though just noticed the thread is quite old, maybe someone can provide an update.

Thanks for the pointer. Looks like there has been no solution for over a year now. I just don't understand why IG cannot publish their app, but practically all the other brokers can.

Yes, unfortunately we can not post to some local Apple stores. We have a PWA (progressive web app) which is accessible when you use your mobile application to log into IG.

Its exceptionally easy to switch your app store to another country (UK in this case).  After you are done downloading IG switch back to your regular app store account from your country.  IG will continue to work and update. So simple.
