### 3/5 — Love barcharts but….

*2023-12-03, version 2.1*

Love the service but 90$ for delayed data 😮😧140 just for real time and many other fees!! I am very disappointed they would charge this much. I like the service but way over priced for the trader part of it

### 1/5 — Junk !

*2021-01-09, version 2.1*

### 5/5 — Best financial app!

*2015-11-02, version 1.5*

I love this app! The data is accurate and the features are awesome. I'll definitely continue to use this app regularly

### 1/5 — Wow! What a terrible app!

*2014-11-06, version 1.4*

If you plan on trading on your iPhone you better think twice before downloading this piece of crap and company. I've been scammed by this company from other products that I bought which was complete garbage. They will take your money and run. Very much of a scam. When I called and complained all I transferred to their sales department in the attempt to buy something else! Do not download this app! The prices are almost always wrong! Crap app and crap/scammy company. Oh. Also they mislead you into thinking this is real time market data. Even after you purchase all their premium feature you do not get real time market data. That costs a lot more! Very misleading. Lots of other apps that are so much better!!

### 1/5 — Excellent app.

*2014-10-29, version 1.4*
