How to Use Samco Mobile App?

Treat the next few steps as a user manual for this Samco Mobile App and make sure you understand the functioning of different features provided:

Here are the details:

• Once you have downloaded and installed this application onto your mobile phone, the below screen is displayed to you. Here you are supposed to enter your valid login id followed by the password screen. One big turnoff is that the app does not provide any guest login. The problem with that is, that users looking to explore different mobile trading apps before opening Samco Account.
• Thus you need to open the SAMCO demat account to access the app.

• At the basics level, the Samco mobile app provides you with multiple market watch-lists where you can add specific scrips of your choice. Once added, you can monitor these stocks or financial classes on a regular basis. One good thing about this feature is its fancy and interactive UI (User interface) which also makes the usability of this feature pretty easy.

• If you are looking to view the current situation of different indices, such information is available by tapping on the ‘Index Details’ menu item. Once done, you will be able to check out the exchange, index name and value at that point in time. This feature can be made more useful by introducing a ‘Bullish/Bearish indicator’ in the form of arrows or any other signs so that user can make out some actionable sense of this feature.

• If you tap at the breadcrumb displayed on the top left part of the screen, a menu will be displayed to you with all the specific features you can access in this mobile application. However, from a competitive point of view, a number of features are pretty limited as compared to other mobile trading apps in India.

• As displayed below, this mobile app from Samco allows you to place different types of orders including Limit, Market, Stop-loss based orders. Such a feature assists different kinds of traders and investors to place their orders as per their preferences, risk appetite, and market understanding.

• This is how an order is placed using the mobile app. You can pick the order type, option to buy or sell, product name, quantity, price, scrip etc. Once done, you are supposed to press ‘Place Order’ which is followed by a confirmation screen. Once confirmed, your order gets placed and in-line to get executed at the stock exchange. The SAMCO brokerage rate levied can be verified from this Samco Brokerage Calculator as well.

• If you want to view your holdings, you can do so within your portfolio section (as displayed on the screen below). This screen displays your current positions overall, scrip name, LTP (Last traded price), used quantity etc.

• You can set different alerts and notifications based on your preferences and requirements at a specific index, stock or any financial class level. These notifications can be provided in the form of an email or SMS to your mobile number. This way, you don’t need to monitor a stock continuously and the app notifies you automatically once a specific price point or percentage is reached.

This is how the Samco mobile app is rated at the Google Play Store:

 

As you can see, the app has a very small satisfaction score (less than 50%) while the industry standard is around 80%. This fact makes this Samco mobile app as one of the worst-rated mobile trading apps in India.

Samco Mobile App Disadvantages

At the same time, here are a few concerns that revolve around the Samco Mobile App:

• The technical team of Samco does not update its mobile app on a regular basis. In fact, they have not updated this mobile app for the last 15 months or so. To give you an idea, some of the prominent mobile apps have an update frequency cycle of 3-4 weeks.
• The app does not offer a guest login. A guest login, these days, is more than a “good-to-have” feature simply because users have become technologically aware across different facets of the society and they want to have a dry run at the trading softwares before they make their final broker choice.
• The app faces regular issues with crashing and getting hanged. This is a big turn-off for intra-day traders who are looking for consistent performance and reasonable user experience.
