App is UNUSABLE

I’m on an 11pro, nearly two years old, I’ve NEVER had slowdowns on my phone until I’ve opened this app. The backend on this app is so poorly optimised even typing in it is a problem. I’m forced to use this for a project, but directly after I will be uninstalling. This is inexcusable, and to see so many reviews reflecting this without a hint of fixing these problems is unforgivable.

Community college business club game

A lot of time was put into the setup of this application. Although the interface slows up on WiFi.

Use the web version

Freezes within a minute of opening on iPhone 12 with no other apps open. Cannot execute trades without freezing. Very unstable

Stock split problem

I teach a stock trading class with this app. SCHG split on Oct 9, but the shares and price have not been adjusted, and it’s Nov 3. So my account shows a huge loss when it should show a big gain. I have emailed several depts and called many numbers for MarketWatch, but so far no one has fixed it. This makes the app rather useless if splits are not adjusted in a timely manner.

App crashes a lot

The game is great but the app often crashes while making trades.

App is slow and laggy

After reading other reviews , I had to make this one because I thought I was the only one. I am trying to learn how to invest and figured a simulator would be good. Overall, the app content itself seems good but it's a same it's so exhausting to use. As soon as I open the app my phone gets so slow. It lags just clicking on other tab in the app. It gets really annoying and makes me not want to even use it. It's a shame because I would love to use this app to learn but the slow time is so exhausting. It heats up my phone too. Hopefully they fix it so but seeing as I see reviews from April stating the same thing, seems whoever is in charge isn't taking the constructive criticism

No good

Glitches. Can’t figure out how to play. Purchased stocks. Just says pending after 9 hours. Nothing updates, nothing changes. Constantly freezes.

Super Laggy

Please optimize the app. This is the only app where every time I open it and create a game, my phone begins freezing. The keypad freezes periodically. Clicking on text boxes are followed by 4-5 second delays before the box finally lags its self up on the screen. Even trying to close the app takes a good 4-5 seconds for the laggy response app to catch up and finally close its self before finally allowing my phone to return to its normal operating abilities. Terrible experience.

Don’t Download

App locks up. Then overheats your phone. Then locks up the phone. FIX IT

Slowest App Ever Created

I didn’t believe the reviews but wow I’ve never seen any iPhone lag the way mine did when I tried using anything in the app. My whole phone froze and instantly starting overheating and was extremely laggy even after closing it. Don’t know what’s going on here or how they haven’t fixed the worst bug to ever touch the App Store.
