Trade in Mobile App or Web App?

I trade entirely off App, using TradeInterceptor.com works great, I have charts setup on left screen on the PC to watch, but still trade of ipad or android tablet, someone knocks on my door it goes with me.

Dont like the idea of web page trading, my pc firefox and chrome crash to often, need a fresh windows install but can't be arsed.

Actually, I was asking about the speed of a native mobile app vs the speed of a web app running inside a browser--not the speed of mobile vs desktop CPUs. Everybody knows that mobile CPUs can't hold a candle to desktop CPUs. I just wasn't sure if a web app runs slower than a mobile app since the former is running inside a browser and doesn't have direct access to OS resources, while the latter runs natively.

Speed shouldn't be an issue if your logic is automated. The TT platform connects our phone apps direct to the same co-located servers as our browser based solution so your automated logic is running next to the matching engine. If you're trading trading a synthentic Autospreader contract, that trade logic in co-located. As we're running all of the logic on co-located servers, the local machine requirements are minimal. All of the heavy lifting is done away from the local interface.

Better in what way? Usability? Convenience? Security?

These new fangled brokers are mobile-first and (at present) are mobile-only:

https://www.robinhood.com
https://www.freetrade.io

They are also zero-commission businesses but that's probably tangential. The thing is, they are targeted at a different demographic to the active day trader that probably wants/needs charts and more detailed pre-trade analytics and analysis - and that is better done on a larger display via a browser or desktop application.

Then there are brokers that have both browser and mobile offerings. The mobile app being good for monitoring positions etc. on the go but the browser for more involved interactions.

Difficult to answer your question without more specifics.

Doesn't Interactive Broker's TWS work in PH?

Do you have any further information about Freetrade? It seems like the European Robinhood.
