Perfect for Tracking Open and Closed Positions

This was just what I was looking for. Great for tracking both my open and closed positions. Simple to use, very intuititve, and displays the data just the way I want it. Amazing that it is a free app, but I absolutely felt it was well worth contributing to the developer.

Not ready yet

This app has great potential but it is not ready and should not have been released. There are many issues which make the app unuseable. Wasted a lot of time. I hope the developer continues working on it.

Not user intuative .

Not user intuative . No way to enter a stock and price payed. Too many blanks to fill in. No idea what some of the spaces to fill in mean. No instructions.

Great, simple app

A great, simple app - delivers exactly what it promises, with a very small memory and CPU footprint. I used to leave Quicken open just to get a quick glance at what this app offers at a much smaller system resource footprint.

The only thing I'm not terribly fond of (but not enough to remove a star) is the interface. It's intuitive and pleasant looking, though I'm more of a table/spreadsheet person. I'd prefer the option to observe, add and remove stocks on a single table/spreadsheet. It's not a huge deal though.

Nice and Tidy

Simple Stocks probably won't take the place of your broker account app, but is much more appealing to look at and check your balances throughout the day. Everything is big and bright and gives you a quick overview of what is happening to your portfolio. I use it on my mac and iPhone and even have it as a complication on my watch. It's beautiful and helpful.

Does not seem to support any mutual funds...

If you have mutual funds in your portfolio, this doesn't seem to support any of those.

The only thing missing

Wish the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P were active somewere. Haven said that the developer did a great job and set an example for all app makers. Thank you.

great simple app!

no bells and whistles, just the essential. i love the app and it has every function i need.
thanks for the manual refresh :)

Great app, could be made so much better by adding the live stock prices to your portfolio

Poor

Does not allow stocks on Canadian exchanges. Does not allow for Canadian Dollar.

Response from developer

EDIT: Hi, just a heads up that the latest version of Simple Stocks now supports stocks listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and tracking in Canadian Dollars. β€” Hi, I am sorry to hear that you cannot currently make use of the app. The description does however state that the app allows you to track only US stocks, and lists the available currencies. I am currently looking into adding more regions and currencies to the app, but there are some additional cost implications associated with this data. I will let you know when I am able to find a way around this.
