Leave a Review MarketWatch
Ok app, good articles but bad app design
The app is TOO damn sensitive. If you just happen to lightly touch the screen when browsing it will open up an article. Something is wrong with the gestures that it can’t identify scrolling from tapping.double_edge
Annoyingly opens numerous Safari pages
When reading news articles this app keeps leaving the app and opening Safari pages without me even clicking on a banner or advert. These Safari pages accumulate very quickly and require extra effort to go back and close them after pressing the back button to get back to news story in the app I actually wanted to see.
This needs fixing.Show less5KRC
MarketWatch
I really appreciate the expertise, honesty and accuracy of your writers! I check on you for a good breadth of knowledge on current market conditions. I use Seeking Aloha mostly for the traders comments. And also use CNBC for seeing about futures and daily gyrations on their easy to view charts. All three of these apps give me what I need to time buying and selling. I try to go long on nearly all that I purchase, but will sell to avoid going negative and too illiquid. Wish I had know how good you were when I first started investing 5 years ago!Show lessEmilyRClay
Annoying rating request message
The app really deserve better rating but I wanted to give it 3 stars just because of annoying rating pop up
I think that choosing may be later means that you want to do it later not on the next screen , I have been bombarded with this message more than 5 times during less than 10 min while using the app and I wanted to choose to postpone it since I wanted to give a really meaningful feedback once I use the application for a longer period of timeShow lessrifarah
Market Watch - Practical Aspects
I found this app very useful as it covers the basic information I was after i.e., price movement, gain / loss along with the relevant market movement.
It could have been even more helpful if the change is shown in base currency such as £, $, € up to 2 decimal points instead of in pennies & cents.
Plus for analysis purposes if market related company data is added to a security for investors to have some basic knowledge of the company who wishes to invest would be a great step to take this app on the top of the list. Who knows what else come up in futureShow lessRS review
Just Plain Bad
This app is awful - first off, you can’t get all the index pricing information that the desktop version has. Where’s the crypto tab? Secondly, the UX is awful - placing your finger on the screen for even an instant (to stop scrolling for example) is interpreted as a click on an article. Then guess what, you have to go back to your previous article and re-click the stupid “read more” button again. Same thing happens when you scroll left to right - the article or table you’re reading will interpret that as a full swipe, and you’ll be taken back to the homepage mid-article. I’m shocked the team hasn’t fixed this yet.
Finally, this isn’t about the app, but just your content in general - can you tell the content team to ax Moneyish asap? That is the worst set of articles ever...I mean, I get you’re trying to appeal to millennials (who, given the types of stuff you’re posting on there, must not understand a darn thing about finance), but maybe it’s time for them to read real market and stock related material for a change? You guys don’t have to dumb it down so much with these pseudo finance articles...the market is fun to read about as is. Thanks.Show lessMT0483
Content is good, scrolling through and navigation needs serious work
I’ve been a long time MarketWatch viewer, but mostly from a computer. Recently using the app, I’ve come to dislike the navigation feel in terms of the scroll through and then stop. Once you put the finger down after a scroll, the app immediately thinks you’re trying to access the article rather than to stop the scroll. This is very frustrating because I don’t mean to read these articles, I just was curious about the headline.
Furthermore, the back navigation from an article needs work. The back arrow in the top left does not have good function. It takes a few tries to finally go back.
Due to these reasons, I cannot use this app for news. It takes too long to actually scroll through and read what I want because I’m constantly trying to take caution in how I scroll. The feel of the app doesn’t feel high quality unfortunately.Show lessClueGoo4u
Useful & up to date
Definitely swung into depressed category, just now, so all views heading towards downward spiral. While recognising the markets are volatile, a small amount of optimism would provide a level playing field. But good to have really up to date figures.pamfacts
Very good, but could be better
This site is dedicated to finances and financials. Most of the articles are themed that way and I do pick up valuable insights. So often however, the information is so laced with slanted political hatred, that it becomes difficult to filter. A macro-view was that a year-ago, nearly every article believed the market to be overpriced and that the US market would be harmed by the President. I still find I have to filter the site's info way too often.Show lessStrider-T
Use all of the time.
Overall ok. Main complaints are: stock prices in watchlist do not really update. Frequently, watch list will not load. App takes a long time to open. Crashes and have to sign out and sign back in. Hard to believe I am only person with this issue. Have deleted and reinstalled, updated, same thing.DR---Y
