Mobile and Desktop Trading
Both Uphold and Shakepay offer robust mobile and desktop applications for trading. Uphold's mobile application enjoys good ratings on both the App Store (4.6 stars) and Google Play (4.7 stars) as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. It offers an intuitive interface and strong functionality, reflecting a seamless transition from its desktop version which allows trading in cryptocurrency, commodities, and even equities. On the other hand, Shakepay's mobile application has an impressive rating on both iOS (4.6 stars) and Android (4.5 stars). The app is beginner-friendly, providing a clean interface that allows users to buy, sell, and trade Bitcoin and Ethereum. The desktop platform mirrors this simplicity, making it accessible for those who are new to the cryptocurrency world.
Uphold
Uphold’s app has a 3.5-star rating from 5,000 reviews on the Apple App store and a 3.2-star rating from 18,000 reviews on Google Play. Some reviewers have said the app is slow and buggy, with the verification process being particularly slow.
Uphold is easy to use for beginners. There is a quick trade option called “Anything to Anything”. All you need to do is enter the asset you want to trade, the amount, and the asset you wish to swap it for. You can trade crypto to stocks, stocks to metal etc. in just a few clicks.

Shakepay’s app is incredibly simple to use, just like its desktop platform. Since it is a beginner-friendly crypto exchange, there aren’t many features that will confuse you. It offers a simple and clean interface with basic charting for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Funding your account and purchasing crypto is easy with just a few clicks.
