The app makes it hard to find the basic information users want to read, such as information about the companies recommended.
Also, when opening articles in the news section, the wrong article gets opened.
Finally, the UI is ugly, not user friendly, and difficult to use.
I have always been able to access my Motley Fool subscription on my phone and my iPad. Lately I cannot access my Motley Fool app on my phone only on my iPad. It does not matter if I sign in on my phone or not, it is very frustrating and it has just started this since the last update. I have deleted the app on my phone and reinstalled the app on my phone and it still doesn’t work. It only works on my iPad.

Had an issue where articles from notifications wouldn’t load for me. That issue has since been resolved. Haven’t noticed any other bugs
The app has the look and feel of something developed by a 12 year old. And yes, the picture in the App Store is not what I have. Stocks added to my portfolio don’t appear. When I go to add it again, the check mark is there by the symbol. Close the app and reopen. Still not there.
The basic subscription is the stripped down version they use to upsell you their way more expensive products. I know I paid just $99 for an annual subscription but they could provide SOME useful information. Very disappointed with their product. I was inundated with so many promotional emails and push notifications that I already unsubscribed from email. Don’t know if I will use this at all since Yahoo Finance and Stocktwits are 100% better.
Recently articles won’t load for me. I click on the notification and it takes me to a loading page that never displays anything. No articles load in the app at all, including write ups about picks. This app is not useful if I can’t read anything about the picks. This is a recent issue so hopefully gets resolved soon
I joined the Motley Fool seeking frequent recommendations on stocks from their service. I was extremely disappointed both on the service and the quality of their iPhone app.
Even if you pay for their ‘Stock Advisor’ service then you find out to get the ‘best’ advise you would have to buy x,y,z service to ‘uncover’ the best possible stocks.
Then you get constant upselling propaganda on every single article, email, and notification selling you very similar ‘advise’ services.
The service did not deliver on its basic promise to deliver advise, instead it gates you on a money tier system that is constantly attempting to convert you to the next tier so you keep spending funds on uncovering the ‘unknown’ recommendations you thought you had already paid for in the first place.
As the name suggests, I felt like a fool for even trying the service. Never again.
What’s the point in sending email notifications if it doesn’t open the app? I can either go online and login to read the article or not find it on the app where I’m already logged in.
Constantly having to login each time I try to use this makes me not even want to. Not only does it not have biometrics the app doesn’t even store my credentials. Seems like a pretty basic thing to address.
Please dial down on the brightness of the splash screen - especially when the app is operating in dark mode.
It is so bright that when I am using my phone the in the dark I have to close my eyes until the splash screen disappears and the app loads.
