What do you think about Dollardex? Can anybody review if this is a good investment platform?

Hi guys, I am a newbie investor and have opened up a DBS Vickers account to invest in ETFs (Local and Foreign).

I was then introduced to dollardex by my friend, I read online that dollardex charges 0 commission and sales fees .

Thanks!
