For active traders based in the UAE and wider GCC region, mobility is more important than ever. Whether tracking volatile forex pairs or reacting to sudden moves in global indices, having reliable mobile access can be the difference between capturing an opportunity and missing it entirely.
The ADSS app, designed in-house by the Abu Dhabi-based broker, aims to give traders a streamlined experience on iOS and Android. But how well does it handle fast-paced decision-making, real-time pricing, and execution precision—all without tying users to a desktop?
Installation and Interface
The ADSS app is available through both the App Store and Google Play, with installation taking less than a minute on most modern smartphones. Account access is secured via biometric login or two-step authentication, and users can link an existing ADSS account or create one directly from the app.
Once logged in, the dashboard layout is intuitive. Key metrics—account balance, margin levels, open positions—are accessible at a glance. Navigation is smooth, and switching between asset classes or executing trades takes just a few taps.
Notably, the app is fully bilingual, offering Arabic and English support across the interface—a critical consideration for the UAE’s multilingual trading population.
Instruments and Market Access
As with the desktop version, ADSS offers CFD trading only through the mobile app. Traders can access:
- Forex, including major and emerging market currency pairs
- Equities and ETFs with a focus on global shares
- Indices from the US, Europe, and Asia
- Commodities like oil, gold, and silver
- Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum
All trading on the app is speculative, with no direct ownership of assets. There are no bonds or fixed-income products available, and Islamic (swap-free) account types are not offered.
Execution remains fast even on mobile, and prices update in real-time without noticeable lag—ideal for day traders and scalpers who depend on timing.
Charting, Tools, and Trade Management
The app’s charting suite is functional but minimalistic. Traders can toggle between timeframes, apply a handful of indicators, and use basic drawing tools. For more technical analysis, users may still prefer the desktop platform.
Where the app excels is in ease of execution and order control:
- Market, limit, and stop orders are available
- Orders can be modified or closed in seconds
- Built-in risk management tools (stop-loss, take-profit) are accessible per trade
While the app supports real-time portfolio management and order tracking, it does not offer automated strategies or API connectivity, and third-party integrations (e.g., TradingView or MT4) are not supported.
Performance & Reliability
From both a usability and stability standpoint, the ADSS mobile app performs well. Load times are minimal, transitions are fluid, and downtime is rare. Even during periods of elevated market activity, such as major economic announcements, the platform holds steady.
Push notifications are available for price alerts and account activity, enabling traders to stay informed without needing to remain logged in continuously.
Still, chart customisation and analytical features are limited. This isn’t necessarily a flaw—the app is built for traders who prioritise execution over complex analysis while away from their main setup.
Funding & Account Management On-the-Go
Another strength of the ADSS mobile app lies in its funding and account administration features. Traders can:
- Deposit or withdraw funds directly from the app
- Access transaction history
- Update personal or security information
- View detailed trade summaries and P&L metrics
Deposits via credit card or bank transfer are processed quickly, and UAE clients benefit from local payment methods and rapid settlement. Most functions that require desktop access on competing platforms are seamlessly available on mobile here.
Support and Accessibility
Customer support can be accessed directly through the app, with options for:
- Live chat
- Call-back requests
Service is available in Arabic and English, and response times are reasonable even during peak hours. Support agents are helpful with technical or account-related questions, though, in line with ADSS’s execution-only model, no trading advice or market predictions are offered.

A Strong App for Active Traders
The ADSS mobile app is more than just a companion to the web platform—it’s a robust, independent trading tool for those who need to monitor markets and manage trades while away from a desk. With a focus on fast execution, clean navigation, and bilingual functionality, it meets the practical needs of most UAE-based traders.
While power users may want deeper charting or automation, the app succeeds in delivering what it promises: speed, reliability, and full account control in the palm of your hand. For a deeper look at the app and to download it, visit the ADSS app on the App Store.
