I actually found their app pretty simple, but hat might be because i'm an engineer & tend to understand what i am seeing in IBKR app and web site.

Reporting wise, they are the most capable - i needed to apply for a loan, and wanted to hide the list of all securities, i was able to create just that. Pretty flexible, and powerful.

Try getting a list of transactions, or working out what you are paying with a margin account. Their reporting is inscrutable. On top of this, their recommended way of buying USD securities with a foreign base currency account is to short the forex in order to tie your margin to the exchange rate at purchase.

I'm also an engineer, but I know a bad UI when I see one.

Pretty much any other brokerage lets you see a clear historical list of transactions, balances and fees, without having to configure a complex report or jump through any hoops.
