Just tried on an android tablet, Samsung tab3, and it works ok. What do you have trouble with, the drop down menu? The drop down menu doesn't appear, that's the problem. OK, prefund option has reappeared.

with an Android phone / tablet you can request the desktop site for any website from the browser options menu, this has helped me a few times when the mobile site was not working as expected. There's a "Request Desktop Site" button in Safari on my iPhone too, but the new SavingStream website doesn't respond to it so I'm stuck with the mobile version. I don't think the new web site has been designed with mobiles/tablets in mind, they expect everybody to use desktops - a step backwards from the old site and other platforms whose sites seem to cope with mobile use quite well

Actually there's a comment from SS somewhere around to the effect that the new site was explicitly designed with mobile / tablet use in mind......

I notice "Investor Activity" for each loan is in semi-random order. Can't be right, and surely we can have more than just 10 transactions on the list?

I noticed that and wondered if it was in fact in order, it's just the older dates were when the part was put up for sale and got stuck in the glitch-o-sphere. Considering I've seen some February '15 dates come through, that would be quite a hit of lost interest!

"Desktop mode" doesn't seems to have a noticeable effect. Actually, it almost feels like a native app. I do most of my buying on it. (Sorry, not helpful I know!). I look like a proper teenager wondering around with it stuck in my face waiting to a loan part to appear... Web Alert, free in Google Play, does a very good job.

Considering I've seen some February '15 dates come through, that would be quite a hit of lost interest! I'm wondering if the sales dates represent the date the loan part was bought, except where a sale is a part of a part. I commented in the early feedback on there only being 10 transactions on the screen whereas before there used to be 15, and suggested that now the activity list shows sellers as well as purchasers it would be useful to see more transactions - not fewer. But that suggestion has been ignored by savingstream just like every other suggestion in the feedback.
I take it all back - the accrued interest column is back! Thank you savingstream.

Dear SavingStream, Could you please bring back the 'Accrued Interest' column? I know it's not crucial but I miss not seeing my interest increase at midnight!! I agree with you, that the accrued interest column is helpful. However, I have never stayed up to midnight to watch the interest increase... If there is a Saving Stream Anorak Award, I would put your name forward as a candidate... I think the previous post by Saving Stream addresses your suggestion. There are several improvements still in the development stage, including improving users individual choices of how they view the data along with the csv export of their loanparts portfolio. We felt it was important to get the site live with people using it and then make the small changes and improvements in due course.
chrisuk, You will be able to see your interest increase at midnight, TONIGHT.
The 'Accrued Interest' column is back!!
Saving Stream have taken pity on you, may be because you are a nominated 'Saving Stream Anorak'...

Yes, CSV export of all the loan parts you've ever owned  ! Requires a bit of sorting to get the current live ones. Generally welcomed and useful though. |

And if the total of that column is greater than your largest loan amount you are well diversified and can already take the hit of a total loss and still be ahead of a FSCS account. Even if it is only greater than half of your typical loan amount you will probably survive a bad loan.

I'm a relatively new investor to SS and my ratio is about 1/4. I'm diversified over about 24 loans which I believe is a good thing but my interest total is relatively low simply because I've only been investing over a few months. LW
