Great app!

Such a great app and easy to use!

Love this App!!

Such a great app for when I am out of the office...Use it all the time to check my stocks while on the road!

Love it

It's great when on the road. Could be faster though.

Awfull

I would give 0 star

FactSet delivers

Great app when away from the office.

More a downgrade

Very poor version.clunky, slow to load and won't swivel to landscape. Half the portfolio screen is obscured by an empty box for news, filings etc. The previous version was excellent.

Awful

This app is awful. You'd be better off with free version of Bloomberg or Fox Business.

update = good; reliability < good

love the new news functionality, but after a few days and/or reading 20-30 broker notes, the pdf's stop rendering properly and all I see is black. un-installing and re-downloading fixes it. I'm on download #6.

Good portable app

This is a pretty decent iPad version of FactSet. No, the service isn't free and they should probably do a better job of making that clear in the app description.

Aside from that criticism, I think current FactSet users will find this to be a pretty useful application for tracking portfolios in real time away from the office. Accessing news, Street estimates and research notes is also quick and easy. With that said, I don't think the user interface is as good and easy to navigate as it could be. I'd also like to see richer features in terms of charting and more general functionality.

But I can't really complain too much as it is a free perk for current users.

I will be interested to see how it compares to the new release of the Bloomberg mobile app for iPad.
