Many thanks to the OP for the heads-up on this.

I registered and deposited £50 on Sunday afternoon  (15/01) and the additional £50 has been credited to my account withion the last hour this morning (Wednesday 18/01).

Best Wishes,

You can withdraw your deposit of £50 and invest the £50 bonus.

It seems that they don't offer fractional investing so any suggestions for a global ETF that can be purchased for around the £50 mark ?
I find the app slightly difficult to navigate through to find an ETF 
I am thinking of withdrawing the deposit and just leaving the bonus simply invested and forgetting about it for a while

You'll probably have to buy two or three different things, for example, something for around £30, something for around £10, and something for around £5. Doesn't matter if you have left any money over, as there is no obligation in the offer terms to invest £50 exactly (or anything, actually).

They carry SWDA for £62. That is the GBP share class. It's accumulating, so not a good pick if you are on self-assessment, have declarable capital gains, or exceed your dividend allowance, due to fiddly calculations. Read up on Excess Reportable Income if you fall into one of those categories.

If you hold significant investments elsewhere, then picking a more focused ETF is going to have negligible impact on your asset allocation.

Account opened and the £50 top up received. Shame they seem limited on UK shares, quite a few investment trusts not available but very easy to trade and add money.

I don't know about anyone else but I can't seem to even create an account in the app. Whenever I click the create account button in the app I get taken to a message telling me how I can help them improve their app experience. There appears to be no buttons to press or any way of scrolling the page or anything.

So far so good...

I can't remember the exact process, but after entering various personal details, tax residency etc, my account was created automatically.

It might be useful to others to note that it seems the bonus money is the last to be invested, so if you wish to withdraw your £50, I guess you'd need to remain uninvested until the bonus money arrives, and then make your withdrawal before investing. I ended up investing the whole £100 rather than fiddling around after having invested the £50 without withdrawing.
