  • Marketwatch automation ‘news’ useless

    Marketwatch automation ‘news’ useless. Any stock you look at will be littered with so called news which has no useful information that can’t be ascertained from the up or down % for the day. Tell me why the stock has moved if it is significant but otherwise it is just noise.
  • Functionality Deteriorated to Merely Quotes

    The news portion of Apple Stock app has completely DISCONNECTED from the News app - i.e. Stock app doesn't know what periodicals I am subscribed to, and any saved or viewed news articles in the Stock app are not reflected in the Stock app - i.e. there is no way to save (or see history of) business news articles that I read in the Stock app. Also, doesn’t sync with other devices.

    There are plenty of stock quote apps. There are plenty of news apps. The value proposition of Apple News app and Apple Stock app was to have integrated consumption and viewing across all Apple devices. At one time, I looked forward to buying a new iPad or computer, but why be confronted with such a glaring omission, misfire, and headache on a daily basis?
  • Helpful App

    This is a helpful app though the news feature now just gets in the way if you don't subscribe to Apple News+ because otherwise it acts like a pop-up ad to sell more subscriptions whenever you open a news link.

    The older version of this app allowed automatic landscape view of charts just by rotating the phone which is also missing in the current version.
  • graphing error

    I use stocks every day. however I have found that there is a serious graphing error that keeps me from trusting the values indicated in the graphing. one must ensure to touch the graphed history to get actuals since the values do not align with the values indicated on the graph axes. there is an obvious software error which is not assigning the axis values correctly.
  • App has bugs

    While scrolling many a times it drops frames thus landing you way far position or back position. Even with slow scroll sometimes it lands you back a few pages/scroll. Other big missing feature is that it does not allow you to reorder the stocks in the watchlist. This is very basic.
    Rest all the app works fine. I would rate it higher if the two big critical issues are fixed.
  • Disappearing Top Stories Page

    For a couple months the Top Stories window has disappeared when I open the App. It reappears when I power up my phone and open the App but disappears again after I close the App.

    Worked fine for a few years until recently. Not sure if this is an attempt to leverage users to purchase the Pro version or some other reason.
  • Weirdly limited data view

    Holding the phone vertically gives a view of price over the selected time period but the necessary 12 data points (high, current, low daily price - volume etc - yield, beta, EPS) display as 3 deep and 4 rows across. But you can’t see these data points along with the price chart at a glance.

    It seems to be a no-brained to adjust the display to 6 deep and 2 rows across so one can view data and price vs time chart in one glance.

    Also the automatic jumping through the list of stocks (maybe on price update) meaning you have to hunt, scroll to your stock of interest, a problem that so many others pointed out, is time waisted.
  • Change in app

    Really not happy with the stock app lately. Whenever I open the app anymore the latest finance articles from like the Wall Street Journal, Barrons and others used to come up and helped me understand what was effecting our economy. These no longer come up as an option. Only current market prices come up. Don’t understand why I don’t get this anymore? If these are no longer going to be on the app in my opinion it take you from a 41/2 star app to a 2 star app.
  • smaller, and rolling down and up not anymore smooth

    Recent had updated the App; somehow, Fond changed Smaller that not friendly for senior reader, for rolling down and up to read no more smoother and stable, it jump to other line.

    I would like old vision better, if there is possible reverse back?
    Thank you!
  • App worked fine before recent iOS update

    After updated iOS to latest version, the Top Stories won’t show up, have to kill the app and open it again to see the Top Stories panel. This issue keeps happening when app goes to background.
