  • Podcast Glitchy

    iPhone 15 Pro Max with latest software. Playing back your podcast is an experiment in patience. Starts over randomly, if you move the position slider to go back to previous marker the screen swipes away and the podcast stops and restarts again. It’s very painful trying to get through one episode without interruption. Hopefully you’re aware and addressing.
  • This app needs improvement

    Crashes often
    So frustrating when they recommend a stock and then you can’t track it on their app. Makes no sense. And they just push push push you to buy more from them……I’d pay for things if the app would work!
  • Poor programming

    Does not store your login, so you have to constantly login whenever you open the app. Also, interrupts other audio sources playing on your device because the app loads as an audio source itself. Otherwise, the interface is actually decent and useful.
  • Long way to go

    This app has a long way to go, especially when compared to some other apps in this space, such as Simply Wall St. The app experiences frequent errors. Often, when trying to execute an action, such as adding a stock to a watchlist or portfolio, an error message pops up. Not to mention, this app is UGLY. Definitely needs some UX/UI love. Maybe divert a little of the upselling energy into existing customer value?
  • Unstable crashes

    If I add more than 10 stocks to watch list then the app will lock up. Need to completely close as it locks up with a message stating “try again later”. Need to use web interface to add to watch lists
  • I like, needs improvement

    I like being able to access the MF info from my phone, and the app does a fairly decent job in this respect. I do notice that sometimes loading graph data seems to hang, and I have to kill and restart the app. One thing that needs immediate attention from the developers is the login process. It could be a lot smoother. There needs to be an option to use biometrics for login, and that process should be seamless. I’d give more than 3 stars, if this were fixed.
  • Keeps Logging Out and Hardly Accessible

    It is one of my worst experiences with an app, knowing that I have spent a lot on its subscription. I keep getting very interesting notifications about articles that I want to read, and once I tap them to read the app asks me to sign in, and when I sign in it does not remember the notification I tapped and article I wanted to read in the beginning. Then, I try to look for it and I don’t find it. It is surely a horrible experience that needs to be fixed immediately.
  • Still need to use the website

    Somehow got the fonts of articles stuck in 26 point size, and although there is a slider in the About section, no effect, nor does deleting the App and resinstalling it. Recommendation dates in the summary don’t align to those under the various services. Filters seem to be less funtional than in the prior revision - i.e. seeking this cap with a dividend sorted by Quant 5Y, etc. I remain hopeful things will improve. Fool On!
  • Premium Subscription

    Cannot access premium subscription on this app. Have your support team reach out to me.

    Thank you
  • Clunky and so slow

    I have an iPad Pro and rarely use this app now. The loading time is so slow and occasionally doesn’t load at all. Having those blinking eyes for a minute or more doesn’t help. Moving between services should be more seamless.
