  • IBD Pimps Too Many Ads; Extremely Annoying

    IBD and MarketSmith keep Pimping Ads, hundreds of times a day. They don’t care that you are signed up for a year Already. They don’t care if you are a long term customer. IBD can easily use cookies; but why miss out on harassing the customers?! IBD provides Advice through Secrets Of Success, which they themselves don’t follow. IBD profiles Leaders in Business, and yet, IBD annoys its customers. IBD executives do not care; the advice on Best Business Practices in IBD is Not Followed by IBD’s Scott O’Neil and his Executives. Sad.

  • Unparalleled but not perfect, yet

    I’ve seen continual improvement to the app features and charts. It’s affordable for the individual investor and has all relevant technical and fundamental information all in one place. There’s nothing better out there for the individual. One key feature that I think would be easy to add are multiple flags. The current flag feature is excellent but I need maybe 3-4 different flags to easily add AND SUBTRACT a name from one watchlist to another in two clicks.

  • Almost perfect

    I absolutely love MarketSmith. However, if I could make one change, it would be the ability to change the colors. I am colorblind and I cannot quickly tell the difference between the up days and down days. I have to hover over each day to see whether the day was up or down, especially when looking at the volume. Once they make this change, MarketSmith will be perfect!!

  • Great app

    I'm a portfolio manager. This often sits at my desk on my iPad because I can often find information faster on this than on MarketQ. I have multiple screens open all day and this app in my iPad functions as an additional screen Its also very useful when I am out of the office as I can watch my lists quickly no matter where I'm at.

  • Amazing charting even for the novice trader!

    I never thought I could recognize chart patterns like a cup w/handle, double bottom, or consolidations but, with Market Smith, the patterns are outlined for you! The webinars and educational videos have transformed my investing philosophy from ‘long term’ to ‘position trading’ whilst protecting my capital. My only regret is that it took me so long to find Market Smith and like many, after I lost a lot of money whilst long term investing. It was a lesson well learned and by protecting my capital with stops, it won’t happen again easily, that’s for sure. I use MS on all my devices and am very happy with the ease at which I can research my stocks seamlessly between them. I may even go on my next vacation without my laptop and still be able to effectively research and trade. The subscription price is well worth it if you put into practice all the lessons available. Happy trading!

  • Information is the key to success

    The information I get from MarketSmith is incredibly useful in maintaining a good attitude about the market. The indicators are very reliable and the breadth of knowledge on the market that the tool provides helps lead to successful outcomes.
  • Old technology by today's standards

    There is some excellent proprietary software behind IBD and MarketSmith but it's age is showing. The screening software pales in comparison to so much new stuff out there like TC2000, Stockrover and Finviz. And then there is Trendspider that has a lousy screener but great analysis and trend charting ability.

    MarketSmith is more of a trust me I'll find good things for you product. Personally I just didn't find the value and I am undecided about just staying with IBD currently. But no, the $'s didn't add up for me...

  • Extremely Powerful!

    I’m doing a trial of the MarketSmith service and I’m blown away by how functional the app is. I’ve used a lot of investment related services and I’ve not seen a more feature-rich service. The iPad and iPhone apps are amazing in that they bring most the features of the web service to iOS and in some ways the user experience is even better. Have never seen apps with a more seamless adaptation.

  • Love it

    I subscribe to IBD cuz I love the newsletter but what takes the cake is MarketSmith. It can do so much for you including stock recommendations and a slew of other info that if you can think of how you want your recommendations it can do it for you. Just amazing on how much info you can get from one service.

  • IPad app not loading any data-UPDATED REVIEW

    SEE UPDATE BELOW
    IPad app not loading any data. Used to work great, but now, each time I launch the iPad app from Safari, I just see the spinning swirly...and no stock data. App is up to date and membership is current. Neither restarting the app nor clearing the cache fixes the issue.
    UPDATE: The new iPad App is fantastic. Easy to use and loads quickly. Thanks for the software updates!
