Vanguard offer a SIPP wrapper
As do AJ Bell, and many others:The wrapper is the wrapper, worry about security mechanisms and the charges. If you care about the reviews of the app, then fair enough but ask yourself if you actually need an app?
Ask the IFA why they recommended 'abrdn' and whether there is any commission from abrdn to the IFA.

I recently transferred my SIPP from Vanguard to ii as it was getting to the point that the % rate they charge was not the cheapest for me anymore.
I got a referral code off someone one here which bagged them £200 and me a year of no fees. After that fees are some of the cheapest for a SIPP but it all depends on how much you have.
I also benefitted from cash back for transferring my SIPP. 50k-200k transfer will get you £250 for example. Transfer was really fast and smooth, but it does depend on who you are transferring out of. They are running the same cashback offer till the end of Oct, but it appears to be like a DFS sale that keeps popping up, so may be worth waiting to sign up and start the transfer.
If you go down this route, let me know and I can give you a referral code for a years no fees (and I get £200 as well which is obviously nice)

Who are people using as SIPP providers?
I recently met with an IFA who has now come back with their recommendation to move my current pension pot into a SIPP with abrdn wrap. Luckily I decided to give them a Google, and the trustpilot reviews are horrendous. There's people complaining that the app is slow and difficult to use.
Obviously I'll go back and politely ask if we could go with a different provider. I'm just wondering if there's a consensus on who the "best" provider is, or if there's a good few who are similar and it's about personal preference.
