  • Needs some features

    The overall app is good and I use it daily. It would be nice if I could set stock alerts directly rom the app rather than having to do it on the factset system. Even a simply price alert would be great. The charts need a few more features as weñl, particularly when it comes to time frame. It would be better to set for daily, weekly, monthly vs just a 1 year 2 year, etc. Rrgarding portfolios, it appears you cannot rename a portfolio group through the app, that woul dbe a nice feature.

  • The event listening feature requires you to suspend all other activity on phone or tablet

    The event listening feature is really inferior to the Bloomberg app which allows you To continue listening without the app having to occupy your Entire screen. The Bloomberg app allows you to continue listening while your phone is locked. The FactSet app requires you to suspend all other activity on your phone and ensure that it remains unlocked for the duration of the event which is impractical and frustrating.

  • Good data but VERY slow

    The FactSet app has good company financial data but it is very very slow. Much slower than Bloomberg in serving the info for some reason
  • fail. positive reviews r fake

    this app is poorly ported version of desktop. pathetic effort all around. audio in events calendar section flat out does not work. I reached out to mobile product manager at Factset about this and 1 year later it STILL DOES NOT WORK. just a fail around.

    Thanks for the valuable feedback, Dofnj. We've shared instructions with you to try the next version of the app in TestFlight. We'll look to ensure whatever isolated issue you are intermittently experiencing with event audio playback doesn't happen as we continue to build out the next iteration. Please reach out to support@factset.com if there is anything else we can help you with.
  • Mostly ok, for what it does.

    The app shows me most of what I would need while I’m on the go or out of the office. The UI is dated, and in many cases I’d just as soon use the WSJ’s market overview app. I’d either like to see (1) more customization built into this app, and/or (2) a facelift. Overall, good, but not great.

  • Highly Recommend

    I use the app to stay up to date with news on my commute to work. Easy to use, and pairs great with my workstation. Highly recommend!
  • Latest update not working

    Updated to a test version and app just crashes when I open it. Looks like it is running when I see all apps open but if I select it, it just crashes and leaves me at my home screen.
