Do not recommend - pretty much stay away from this app. They charge monthly fees (provided you subscribed, which I did) , yet I am getting all those horrible ad inserts all over the app. To be specific, once you subsribe, you get what was paid for - no ads, but after some time you get ads back, even though subscription is active and you are charged the monthly amount. And I'm not the only one with this issue. So, unsubscribed and uninstalled this app. Cheers...

Used to run well but now on my Galaxy S6, which I realize is old, I'm running into problems when I try to update, add or delete stocks in my portfolio. The app often crashes and requires a restart when in that area. As I said, it used to be a very stable product but it no longer likes to play very well with my S6. I have to start looking for a different investment tool. Wrote feedback to the designers and I did receive a response but the response seemed totally irrelevant to my problem.

Yeah, this app is the real deal. Ease of use 10/10, the devs here really understand the nuances of using an app. It doesn't feel "corporatized," or stuck in the mid-90s running XP SP1. Fast, clean, and yet still powerful make those an absolute must-have for an investor with a diverse portfolio. As always, diversity is key to a solid investment plan. Great job devs!

Once a useful app, the full screen advertisements have really gotten out of hand. Disappointing and have switched to using the Fidelity app which provides the same features I was looking for without the ads. Just because the app is FREE doesn't justify full screen advertisements. There are plenty of free apps that are able to deliver advertising in a less obtrusive manner.

The only widget I have that can do realtime LSE plus has commodities. The news is good too. The fullscreen ad every time you want to open a stock from the widget is a bit much. Just have an ad at the bottom or top of the app like everyone else does. The main drawback is you can only add 1 widget with max 8 symbols. If you add a second widget they both display the same watchlist. If you change the watchlist in one, it changes in the other too. Would also be nice if they had a 1x1 or 1x2 widget to allow a single stock to be shown on your home screen without taking up too much space. Widget is a bit slow to refresh but not too bad. I think with some improvements to the widget functionality this could be my one and only app, but right now I have to use 2 to be able to have 2 watchlists.

Good app. Would be nice to be able to reorganize the items in my widget list. After the update from Sept 25, 2019, the app and widget would not load. I removed and reinstalled the app. I keept getting an error message that says: "For initial set the app requires an active internet connection" My assumption was that this is a server side issue. An error message saying unable to reach the server or that the server is down would be better. After waiting a few hours, the issue resolved itself.

This is my favorite app to check all the major and minor markets across all aspects of investing/trading. Everything is available and with little to no delay. I can easily find/search for almost anything I chose. However, I do not see an option chain, or anything relating to options. Perhaps I have not discovered it yet, because the app is immense! However, if they are not yet available, adding options would bring me to give a wholehearted 5 star rating. I LOVE this app for all investing!!

Love the app and widget overall. However, it would be nice to be able to include more than 8 holdings on the widget. Either allow a scrollbar to view more, or be able to have multiple widgets on different screens with different portfolios (currently you can have more but only one portfolio will show across all of them). Also I have trouble finding articles in the app that I've been notified of once they've cleared on my notifications bar. Would be helpful to have a section for these in the app.

The app is mostly just like the desktop displaying news and charts nicely. It has a lot of ads if you don't purchase the ad-free version on the desktop. It will confuse some users, where if you buy the ad-free on desktop online, you will get ad-free on all platforms. But if you buy on the app, you will only get ad-free for mobile. Good thing I didn't make that mistake. But it's a bad set up and user will be penalized if app users not careful.

Current feedback: I've been plagued with an issue where the widgets never load, they just show as empty squares. I'm not sure what fixes it, reboot? I really only use the app for the widgets but its broken. Previous feedback: App requires a valid phone number and email, which are unnecessary and disrespectful of privacy. However, I sent that feedback to the company and they replied immediately, offering to create me an account using just my email, which was much appreciated.

I use this app to follow the Futures market. Great charts I'm doing an edit on my review. I had problems with the app, uninstalled, reinstall. I needed to reset password, and that did not work. I got some help from customer service etc. The issue was sent to tech, and I haven't heard from anybody since. This is all over a period of several months. Finally I decided just to try and reset my password, and that worked. Now the app does not work It doesn't keep portfolios, watch lists, etc.

Excellent "syncretism" of all major financial markets in the world, from stock exchanges to comodities, forex, and crypto. Congratulations on creating the best integrated markets app! Widget is unreliable, as buttons stopped working. Also, it should be possible to display more than eight "favorites" with a scroll function for longer lists when displayed as a widget.

Used to be great. So this is my go-to investing app and have always been very happy with the layout and functions. The latest update shoves even more ads onto the top of the app interface and removes the crypto selection tab at the bottom, as the ios version had done some time ago. Really too bad the app is now more annoying than useful as it used to be the best out there. I'll be looking for an alternative.

I love the app, but navigation needs a bit more thought. For example, I know there are easier ways to check stock prices, but I often times manually enter the ticker symbol - and often times I go several tickers deep. The problem is that I cannot navigate back to the homepage without hitting the back button repeatedly. Needs to be a direct route to homepage at all places within app.

It's a great app, but don't bother paying extra for the ad-free subscription. It was great at first, but then every month the ads would reappear and I'd have to contact the developer to fix it. Then this month, they never responded to 3 attempts to get their help. I've cancelled my subscription to the pay version, but the free version is still ok if you don't mind annoying ads everywhere.

I actually really liked this app until recently. UI is good. Charts are excellent. But the ads. There's a limit to how many surprise pop-ups a person can take. I am all for ads, but allowing ads to continuously pop up back-to-back, immediately a new one after the first one closes? Where each ad covers the whole screen and is shown so unexpectedly to ensure the likelihood of the user clicking on the ad? This app was fine before when the ads weren't this obnoxiously intrusive.

Best app I've found for my limited purposes. I use the free version to track indices and a few stocks as well as to check the occasional news story. Most important part for me is the widget that lets me monitor a list of symbols on my home screen without having to fire up the app. (Though occasionally the widget doesn't seem to want to refresh without a nudge.) The level of advertising is perfectly acceptable to keep the product free, though as some others have noted, there seem to be more scammy/junk ads appearing these days. That probably has more to do with their ad network provider than with the app. The articles are sometimes interesting and useful--just avoid the comment streams, which are populated by nothing but trolls and zealots both left and right--nothing useful there. Would be great if the company offered a lower-price paid version that removed ads and didn't offer as many of the advanced features. For my purposes, $60/year is too steep, but I'd definitely pay $20.

I had a full year paid subscription. Then along came the upgrade, which I had to consent to to continue using. That logged me out. When I logged back in I suddenly was back using the Ad version. I appealed to customer service for help. No help. So to get rid of the ads AGAIN I had to purchase ANOTHER full year subscription - only this time prices had gone from $19.99 a year to $65 a year. So I was force upgraded. This is how these guys do business folks. BEWARE. Watchlist can't be edited either.

Did not like this app much. I uninstalled it after 2 days. The website shows everything much better than the app. Just use the website. The prices seemed to be lagging and not updating when the app is open in the background. I didn't know if I was looking at the live price. I couldn't easily follow links left in the comments because I couldn't copy it or click it. The UI felt cluttered with ads and menus. The chart makes you rotate the phone and it doesn't save the customizations.

Just pay for the ad free version! It is ridiculously affordable, and it is so much faster when you go ad free. The amount of analysis/articles is really good, you get breaking news, alerts etc. I don't use this to trade directly on but I don't really get the idea that's what it's for. It supports trading decisions and getting overall market sentiment. Service is remarkable good and fast/friendly. Trade on an actual platform use this for info. I'm impressed enough with the ad free to go Pro.
