Search for the share or fund, then record each purchase as its own buy lot: the total you paid, the number of shares and the date. The total is typed in the stock's own currency — dollars for a US share — and the app converts it to yours at the exchange rate on that date. There's no separate fee box, so include dealing charges and stamp duty in the total if you want them in your cost basis. If you have only one of the two numbers, enter it with the date and Use EOD close fills in the other from that day's closing price.
The date matters more than it looks. The app books a holding's dividends from its purchase dates — only shares held before each ex-dividend date count — so a purchase dated today earns none of last year's. And the cost basis is the average cost of every purchase: each new one moves it, and a sale takes shares out at that average without changing it. The free plan holds up to ten stocks.
Record purchases as they happened, not as one total, and the dividends take care of themselves.
