XTB App Download: The Latest Android, iOS, PC, Web Versions (2026)

XTB’s platform situation is simpler than most brokers: there is no MetaTrader, no second app, and no confusing choice between multiple versions. Every version runs the same xStation 5 engine — the only difference is screen size and a few desktop-only analysis tools. Here’s what each version gives you:

Below, we cover every version in detail: how to download on Android, iPhone, and PC, how the mobile and desktop versions differ, whether XTB APK downloads are safe, and what to do about the most common app issues.

Download XTB for Android (Google Play)

The official XTB Android app is called “XTB Online Investing” on Google Play, published by XTB S.A. It has over 10 million downloads, a 4.6-star rating from 154,000+ reviews, and was last updated in June 2026.

How to Download

1. Open the XTB Google Play listing directly, or search “XTB Online Investing” in the Play Store and look for the app published by XTB S.A. — it has 10M+ downloads.
2. Tap Install. The app is approximately 154 MB.
3. Open the app and log in with your XTB email and password, or tap “Open account” to register. Account opening takes approximately 8–15 minutes with video identity verification directly in the app.
4. Set up biometric login — go to Profile (top left) → Security → enable fingerprint for faster access.

Version Details

The Android app provides full xStation 5 functionality: 5,400+ CFDs, 4,500+ real stocks and ETFs at 0% commission, fractional shares, Investment Plans, deposits, withdrawals, dark mode, 16 languages, and push notifications. It uses the same login as the web and desktop platforms and syncs in real time.

Download XTB for iPhone / iPad (App Store)

The official XTB iOS app is called “XTB Online Investing” on the App Store, published by XTB S A. It requires iOS 17.0 or later, works on iPhone and iPad with an optimised tablet layout, and includes limited Apple Watch support for monitoring prices and alerts.

How to Download

1. Open the XTB App Store listing directly, or search “XTB Online Investing” in the App Store.
2. Tap Get / Install. The download is approximately 636 MB on iOS.
3. Open the app and log in or create an account. Enable Face ID or Touch ID in Profile → Security for biometric login.

The iOS app has the same features as the Android version. It supports Face ID, Touch ID, dark mode, 16 languages, and real-time sync with the desktop and web platforms. The iPad version provides a larger, optimised layout for tablet trading.

Download XTB for PC / Desktop / Laptop

xStation 5 desktop is the full-power version of XTB’s trading platform, with 37 technical indicators, up to 16 simultaneous chart windows, and multi-monitor support — features that make detailed technical analysis significantly more effective than on a phone screen. It is available for both Windows and macOS.

The desktop version includes everything in the mobile app plus the complete indicator suite (37 vs ~20 on mobile), multi-chart workspaces, a full stock screener and heatmap, three-click chart trading, investment baskets for batch instrument trading, and access to the xStation API for custom integrations.

How to Download

1. Go to xtb.com and navigate to the Platform page.
2. Download the installer for your operating system — Windows (.exe) or macOS (.dmg).
3. Run the installer and follow the prompts. Installation takes under 2 minutes.
4. Open xStation 5 and log in with the same email and password you use on the mobile app and web platform.

Mobile vs. Desktop — What Is Different?

Note: XTB does not support MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5. XTB removed MT4 in April 2024 and has never offered MT5. There is no MT4 or MT5 download for XTB — xStation 5 is the only platform. If you specifically need MT4/MT5, XTB is not the right broker for you.

xStation 5 Web — Trade Without Downloading Anything

xStation 5 web runs entirely in your browser at xstation5.xtb.com — no download, no installation, no updates, no storage used. It is the same xStation 5 platform served as a web application. It works on any computer with a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), including shared or public computers where you cannot install software.

The web version has the same features as the desktop download — 37 indicators, multi-chart layouts, full order types, Investment Plans, deposits and withdrawals. The main advantage of the downloadable desktop app is slightly faster performance and native OS integration. For most traders, the web version is functionally identical.

How to Access

1. Go to xstation5.xtb.com in any browser. International clients should use xstation5.xtb.com/?branch=int.
2. Log in with your XTB email and password.
3. Start trading. Your accounts, positions, and trade history are the same as on mobile and desktop.

If you cannot or do not want to install the desktop app, xStation 5 web is the zero-commitment alternative. If you trade regularly from one computer, the desktop download offers slightly better performance.

XTB APK Download — Is It Safe?

XTB does not distribute an official APK file on its website. Unlike some brokers that publish direct APK downloads, the only official source for the XTB Android app is Google Play Store. Third-party APK sites (APKMirror, APKPure, Aptoide) do host the XTB app, but downloading from these carries risk.

Note for iOS users: APK files are an Android-only format. There is no “XTB APK for iOS” — iPhone and iPad users download XTB exclusively from the Apple App Store.

Which XTB Version Should You Download?

XTB’s platform situation is straightforward: there is only one app — XTB Online Investing — and it does everything. The only decision is whether you also want the desktop version for advanced charting.

Common XTB App Issues

The XTB app works for most users most of the time, but it has known issues that are worth knowing about before you rely on it for active trading.

Chart Freezing

The most common complaint across app store reviews: the market watch and charts occasionally stop updating, showing stale prices while the market moves. If this happens, force-close the app and reopen it. If the issue persists, switch to xStation 5 web (xstation5.xtb.com) in your phone’s browser — same account, same positions, no app required.

Push Notifications Not Enabled by Default

Price alerts and order execution notifications are not turned on automatically when you install the app. You must activate them manually via the Client Office (co.xtb.com) → My Profile → Notifications. This is not intuitive — most traders expect notifications to work out of the box. If your alerts are not arriving, check this setting first.

November 2025 Platform Outage

On 5 November 2025, an xStation 5 outage prevented clients from modifying or closing CFD positions for several hours. XTB acknowledged the failure was caused by a data transfer limitation between the trading engine and the mobile/web platforms. XTB announced migration to a new architecture, scheduled for completion by Q1 2026. This was a single incident, not a recurring pattern — but it is worth knowing that platform outages can happen with any broker, and having the web version bookmarked as a backup is good practice.

Watchlists Do Not Sync Between Mobile and Web

Custom watchlists created on the mobile app are stored locally and do not sync with xStation 5 web or desktop. If you set up watchlists on your phone, you will need to recreate them on desktop. Drawing tools, however, do sync across all platforms.

How to Use the XTB App

Downloading the app is step one — setting it up correctly matters more, because the first 10 minutes determine whether you start with good habits or preventable mistakes.

First Steps After Download

1. Switch to a demo account first. Tap Profile (top left) → “Switch to DEMO account.” The demo gives you virtual funds to learn the interface without risk. International entity (Belize) demos do not expire.
2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) immediately — go to Profile → Security → Two-Factor Authentication. Use an authenticator app (Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator) rather than SMS for reliability. 2FA is mandatory on all XTB accounts. See our XTB Login guide for full security setup.
3. Enable biometric login — Profile → Security → enable fingerprint or Face ID so you do not need to type your password and 2FA code every time.
4. Turn on push notifications. Go to the Client Office (co.xtb.com) → My Profile → Notifications to activate price alerts and order execution notifications. They are off by default.
5. Make a small test deposit to verify the deposit process works for your payment method. XTB charges zero deposit fees and has no minimum deposit. See our XTB Deposit guide for step-by-step instructions.
6. Place one small trade, then withdraw to test the full deposit-trade-withdraw cycle before committing real capital. XTB charges zero withdrawal fees on amounts above $50.

How the Different Versions Work Together

All three versions — mobile app, desktop, and web — connect to the same XTB account with the same email and password. A trade opened on desktop appears instantly on your phone. Your balances, positions, and trade history sync across all platforms in real time. Drawing tools sync between mobile and desktop. Watchlists do not sync — create them separately on each device.

The download is step one. The real value comes from testing the full deposit-trade-withdraw cycle before committing real capital. Start with a demo, make a test deposit, verify the withdrawal works, then trade with confidence.

Conclusion

XTB’s platform setup is simpler than most brokers: one app handles everything on mobile, and the same xStation 5 platform is available as a desktop download or directly in your browser. There is no second app to install, no MetaTrader to configure, and no confusing choice between multiple versions.

For most traders, the mobile app is all you need to start. Add xStation 5 desktop or web when you want the full 37-indicator charting suite and multi-window layouts. All versions connect to the same account and sync in real time — except watchlists, which you will need to set up separately on each device.
