Very excited to see the move away from traditional brokerages (or at least how they present and display information), we need more apps like this!
While it's unlikely you will get rich buying a share or two it's a really interesting way to engage younger investors and to educate them about the way the markets work on a smaller scale. I remember when my brokerage account was $5k to setup and charged an outrageous amount to make a trade and it was totally not clear what all the options were about, luckily I knew but ...
Banks and Brokerages made stuff based on the likes of traders (who like lots and lots of screens and charts - dashboards from hell) so they assumed people like that too (or know what to do with it).

@duanewilsonsf thanks so much for hunting Dabbl! It's genuinely so exciting to be making the stock market truly accessible. We believe everyone should be able to buy shares, and have been building Dabbl from the ground up to make the whole user experience enjoyable and intuitive. I look forward to any questions and feedback you have!
I've been interested in getting into investing before but that world has always been a bit of a black box for me. From the screenshots Dabbl looks a bit easier to comprehend so I'll check it out.

@2michaeltaylor thanks! You'll notice from the video on our website that buying shares can even start with simply taking a photo. We all have instincts and intuition about brands and products and we like to think we empower people to start seeing their world in a new way.
