What the descriptions say about the apps

The description is the one block of a store page that the developer writes in full. On 6 November 2026 this desk read it on 6 listings of MetaTrader 4 and 5 and cTrader in the Philippines, counted a fixed list of words and quoted the sentences that touch funding or a demo.

Words the listings use about themselves

A plain word count on each description; anyone can repeat it with Ctrl+F on the store page. Pages read here: MetaTrader 4 and 5 and cTrader in the Philippines.

cTrader: CFD Trading & Charts (App Store)

The description is 378 words long. It uses a form of the word trade 22 times, mentions a demo 0 times, an economic calendar 0 times, push notifications or alerts 3 times and deposits, funds or withdrawals 0 times. It opens: “The cTrader mobile app supports trading in forex, metals, oil, indices, stocks and ETFs.” No sentence of it mentions a demo, a deposit, a withdrawal or funds.

Which descriptions mention a demo

MetaTrader 5 — Forex, Stocks (Google Play) and MetaTrader 5 (the App Store) mention a demo account. MetaTrader 4 Forex Trading (Google Play), MetaTrader 4 (the App Store), cTrader: CFD Trading & Charts (Google Play) and cTrader: CFD Trading & Charts (the App Store) do not.

The presence of the word demo in a description is a fact about the text. It is not a promise that a demo is available in the Philippines, and its absence is not proof that none exists.

What a description is for

Developers write a store description for the store: to tell a visitor what the app is and to carry the words the store indexes. The developer decides its content and nobody checks it against the app. That is why it is quoted here: it is the one text on the page that the developer wrote in full, and it is public.

A routine a reader can repeat

On each store page press Ctrl+F and search for demo, then deposit, then fee; write down how often each occurs and compare with the table. If a page has changed its wording since the reading, the counts will differ and the date in the table explains it.
