The app is incredibly lite — it reacts quickly and takes only 9 MB on the hard disk. The interface is available in 10 languages: English, Spanish, Indonesian, Portugal, Vietnamese, Russian, Arabic, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and Hindi.

The interface is quite intuitive. It has three main tabs in the bottom part of the screen: Accounts, Watchlists, and Alerts. In the Accounts tab users can add the accounts on crypto exchanges that they want to manage via the app. To do so one needs to tap on the +Account button and choose the exchange from the list. Adding some of the exchanges requires registration. Others can be added without it. When adding the new account, users should provide API key, Secret key, and User ID. The Watchlists tab provides the customized info from all the connected accounts. The Default section of the Watchlists tab displays the exchanges sorted by the cryptocurrency pairs or vice versa (cryptocurrency pairs sorted by the exchanges). Users are free to adjust the form they wish to see the data displayed to make it more comfortable. The data can be viewed as a list or boxes. The pairs can be sorted by prices (from minimum to maximum or vice versa) or by the change percentage. Another section of this tab is the Currency.com section. It features the data from the markets available on the Currency website. There are fiat-to-crypto pairs, Silver, Brent Oil, Palladium, Apple and Tesla stocks, and many other assets and pairs. And, finally, the third tab is Alerts. That's where users set the alerts they want to receive in order to get the most important information from the markets on time.

The hamburger menu in the upper left corner contains the setting of the app and profile sections. The first option is "Buy Bitcoin". If tapping on this link, one proceeds to the TapTrader website's page where users can buy Bitcoin with a credit card. It can be useful for those who don't have BTC yet and want to start trading. Not all the exchanges support fiat money so having some BTC can be necessary. The next option is "Sign In". The app requests an email and a password. Those who don't have accounts can click on "No account? Create one" and sign up providing an email address and setting the password or alternatively, sign in using the Google account. Another option that helps to get into the trading crypto process in "News". Clicking on this link leads to the page with the tabs having crypto media resources names. Each tab contains the headlines of the freshest events/news released by a certain media resource. The available platforms are NullTX, Cointelegraph, Bitcoin Magazine, CoinDesk, UseTheBitcoin, CryptoDaily, Learn 2 Trade, NewsBTC, U.Today, and a row of the Reddit subreddits: r/Bitcoin, r/Ethereum, r/CryptoMarkets, r/CryptoCurrency, r/altcoin. The articles can be bookmarked within the app. The next option on the menu is "Remove ads". This feature requires a paid subscription (the cost varies from location to location). The "Support" option brings the user to the FAQ section. It has Chart, Alert Notifications, Technical Analysis Indicators, Errors, and Order chapters. Moreover, users can message the support team if they need more personalized assistance. The next option of the hamburger menu is "Community". This link leads to one of the several TabTrader Telegram communities (each one in its language). The last option we should mention is "Settings". In this section, users can change the interface language, adjust the notification sound. Moreover, in this tab users can read the privacy policy and terms of use and adjust some other parameters.

How to Use TabTrader?

After signing in, the user can access the trading interface. In the Default tab, there are four options: XBT/USD pair on Bitmex, ETH/BTC on Binance, EUR/USD Leverage on Cryptocurrency.com, and BTC/USD on Bitfinex. Any moment, users are free to add other tickers.

Tapping on any of these options brings users to an exchange page. The page features the current price for the pair (it adjusts real-time), asks, bids, 24-hour change and volume, low and high. Below there are four tabs: Orderbook, Chart, Last Trades, and Alerts.

Orderbook tab contains the order book (it's understood), and the preferences menu in which one can adjust which columns should be displayed, adjust the Orderbook depth, switch the form of Histogram from sum to size, set the single tap and long-press actions (if one of them is used to make orders then the other will call alerts).

The Chart tab is similar to many exchange overviews. It has a candlestick chart and numerous indicators can be applied. By default, the page contains alerts, orders, shapes, trades, indicators, and local minimum and maximum. Traders can use rays, trend lines, parallel channels, text, and many other tools in order to make the chart more convenient. 

The Last Trades tab shows the full list of all trades in the chronological order. There is nothing to add about it. And the Alerts tab contains the list of all alerts set by the user. By default, this section is empty.

The new orders can be placed via the "+" icon on the main page. The app displays the available exchanges and the user chooses the proper one and fills in the details. 

Is TabTrader Safe?

It is not known much of the security of this app. Many people say that if TabTrader is a scam, they might abuse their access to the user exchange accounts. However, that's not that case because TabTrader doesn't in fact have this access as the exchange activity is managed via the API keys. The company has existed since 2015 and so far there were no solid reports of misconduct on the web. The users who compromise their API keys can lose their money on TabTrader. Such cases exist.

Some users on social media claim that the app crashes from time to time. They get contacted by the TabTrader representatives. Probably, the issues get solved via direct messaging. In general, TabTrader is a legit app, popular for a good reason.
