HK TRENRIX Mobile-App Suite version 4.2 release cover with a friendly koala mascot

📅 18 Sep 2026 · ★ Featured story · 📱 App Release

Mobile-App Suite 4.2 lands on iOS and Android 🐨📱

Today we're shipping version 4.2 of the HK TRENRIX Mobile-App Suite to the App Store and Google Play. The release focuses on three themes: faster cross-border trade workflows, a kinder privacy posture for younger accounts, and a redesigned ops dashboard for power users.

What changed under the hood:

Multi-currency trade — settle in HKD, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CNH from a single checkout.
Kid-safe mode — when an account is flagged as under-13, ads route through SuperAwesome and never behavioural.
Privacy manifest updated — every Required Reason API call now has a fresh declaration for the iOS 18 release.
Faster inquiry engine — submitted intake forms reach the Hong Kong desk in under a minute.
