  • Market watch manipulated the market

    Market watch is a pen for hedge funds. They manipulate the market by writing articles about stocks crashing, before the stock actually crashes. They are also so dumb, they time stamp their scam article an hour before it even happens, post the article, realize they screwed up, go back and try to change it, and don’t realize their own site just changed it to an update and keeps the original time stamp. 🤣🤣🤣 don’t download their app, don’t trust anything they say. They are in the hedge funds pockets trying to deter people from a stock that’s killing the hedges. Take warning!

  • Very Fishy

    Today Market Watch posted an article about the sudden plummet of GME —about 20 minutes before it even happened. Google it. Check out Reddit for. Screenshots and links to the article.

    How could Market watch post an article of a drop from $348 to $172 before it even happened. Seems like Market Watch is in the tank for the Hedge Funds...not at alll concerned about the every-man-retail customer like you and me.
    Oh, and btw, there was no reporting on the fact that GME climbed out of that massive dip into the green by the end of the day!
    There seems to be a real lack of integrity at Market Watch. Beware of what you read on MW, they don’t have your best interest in mind.

  • Market Watch Review

    Generally I am really enjoying the app and it’s content. I am an Australian user. At times the pricing data for local stocks can be 3 or 4 hours behind. A small delay in price data would make the app more useful.
  • Great free business news site

    Excellent coverage of international business news
  • Used to be better

    My ETrade account links it’s financial news to this app and while it has some occasional informative pieces, for the most part the info is available elsewhere and of late, the ratio of political pieces with little to no financial content has become nearly 50/50. Consequently I’ve turned off notifications from the app and at some point will likely delete it. When a site develops a distinctly biased political viewpoint you wonder how unbiased their financial news is. They’d be better off if they just stuck to watching the “market.” Or change the name to PoliticalWatch.

  • Less-biased news and free, useful, push notifications

    This app is for young and adult professionals who know how life works, are moderately to heavily experienced in investing, and need business news quickly. The push notifications are the best. Would probably be dry to those who are highly-partisan, but they have tons of other options. Please keep doing what you do, MarketWatch! Resist the urge to “go left” like all other popular media publications. Has been one of my top investing-news apps other than IBD & StockTwits.

  • Stupid login crashes frequently.

    Crashes too much on new phones
  • Biased

    Each article leaves out vital information to develop a well-rounded opinion. The only reason I use this app is to watch the futures and after-market of stocks. Do not use this as a source of credible journalism. It is heavily biased supporting the leftist agenda and the comments in each article support this. Please use this app with an open mind and research further before coming to conclusions. Two stars for stock reliability; but only two due to the lack of information provided in every article.

  • Stop with the political news

    I have MarketWatch to track individual stocks and read business and economic news. When political news becomes economic news, it’s understandable that MarketWatch and similar financial news sites will report on it. I get it, we don’t live on a bubble. Unfortunately, for the past few weeks I’ve been getting more political news related to the election and the coronavirus than I have about the economy. I don’t need MarketWatch to tell me Dr. Birx rebukes Trump on some medical claim, especially if that claim has nothing to do with financials. Likewise, I don’t need to hear every day that coronavirus cases are rising. If news is related to the healthcare sector, that would make more sense, but I get the impression even some who run the MarketWatch app are trying to say, “Look, we don’t like Trump either, follow us for news.” Please just report on financials and truly breaking news, not Trumps rally’s and twitter fights.

  • Needs to be updated

    The layout is old and tired and the watch list section is unstable and lagging. Needs to be urgently refreshed to compete with the other finance apps.
