Great app, support slightly lacking
Highest quality and useful
For developers: I would be happy to see the possibility of API integration. There is a high deficit of high quality products like AI with massive data RAG (I know only Octagon AI) while I am pretty sure that Barebone AI would better solution if API integration would be realized.
Feedback
Response from developer
Hi Wheepy3, thanks so much for the kind words and the thoughtful feedback! Supporting multiple portfolios (e.g. personal vs. family) is something we have on our roadmap, and we'll pass this along to the engineering team to help prioritize it. In the meantime, we're also currently testing a beta feature that lets you import your portfolio directly from supported brokerages ( aiming for full release in June), it's not quite the same as having a second portfolio, but it might be useful to you as we keep building toward that. Stay tuned, and thanks again for using Barebone!
Great but when can I connect directly to my brokerage account?
Response from developer
Hi s.leit, thanks for the support and for raising this. We understand that manual entry isn't ideal. Good news: we're currently testing a beta feature that lets you connect and import your holdings directly from supported brokerages, which should solve exactly what you're asking about. We're aiming for a full release in June, so it's right around the corner. Appreciate your patience, and thanks for being part of Barebone!
Do not recommend
Response from developer
Thanks for a solid month with Barebone and for the detailed feedback. Glad the consistent news updates and bearish/bullish driver breakdowns have been useful. A quick tip for our AI investment agent: splitting different topics into separate chats keeps context lean and performance sharp, though we hear you and are working hard to improve chat consistency. On scroll-to-bottom, we agree and will be shipping that fix this week. Reach out anytime at team@barebone.ai.
Half Baked
Easy update, zero reason this shouldn’t be a basic feature. If you’re going to charge people for the app for AI features, bring it up to 2026…
Great app- urgent bug
Response from developer
Hi GooseRSA, Thank you for the feedback, love that you're enjoying the app! We just checked into the issue you mentioned about not being able to use decimals when adding cost per share, and we wanted to let you know that decimal inputs are actually supported in the portfolio section. That said, if you're running into any issues, there might be a specific scenario we need to look into. To help us investigate further, could you drop us a quick note at team@barebone.ai with a few more details, maybe a screenshot or the exact steps where it’s happening? That way, we can get it sorted for you ASAP. Also, we’re working on a portfolio import feature that would make the entire process a lot smoother, and it’ll be rolling out very soon! Thanks again for your support and for being part of the journey.

Another Misleading Paid App
Response from developer
Hi StrikeForce - appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Just to clarify: Barebone isn’t a typical “AI chatbot” app or ad-driven product. It’s a professional-grade financial research platform built on live market data, institutional logic, and proprietary AI systems that cost real infrastructure and licensing fees to maintain. We don’t aim to be the cheapest - we aim to be the most accurate and useful. Thousands of investors use Barebone daily because it replaces hours of research across Bloomberg, earnings reports, and market news with instant, data-backed insights. There’s no hidden fee or trick: pricing is clearly shown before checkout, and every subscription is handled securely through Apple. We know we’re not for everyone, but for serious investors who value precision, Barebone delivers value that free tools simply can’t. For any questions, feel free to reach us directly at team@barebone.ai.

Thank you for flagging this, Feyzi! We're glad to share that our AI investment agent and portfolio analysis features have since been updated and are running smoothly for users. The experience you described is no longer something new users should encounter. If you'd like to give Barebone another try for your smart money tracking and portfolio monitoring needs, we'd love to make it right. Reach out to us anytime at team@barebone.ai!
Useless App
Response from developer
We appreciate you sharing this, Mia! Since this review, Barebone has grown further with features on real-time portfolio monitoring, smart money tracking, and Wall Street-level research capabilities that go far beyond summarization. We gave each agent new skills which would help investors navigate the app better and add depth to their research quick. We've shipped major updates and thousands of investors now rely on it daily. We'd love to welcome you back to experience the new Barebone. Reach out to us anytime at team@barebone.ai!
Great App
Response from developer
Thanks so much for the review. Barebone was built to turn raw market data into clear, actionable insights, so it’s great to hear the summaries and multi-ticker comparisons are saving you time. That’s exactly the experience we aim for. We’re pushing more upgrades that make the analysis even sharper and more comprehensive. Really appreciate the support — it keeps us building fast.
great app for what it says it will do
The fundamentals + technical analysis combo works well.
One suggestion: I'd love to see more customization on the news feed. Otherwise, for a free account it's already very useful.
Response from developer
Appreciate this a lot — you captured perfectly what we’re trying to deliver. Barebone’s AI analysts blend fundamentals and technicals so users get a clean, decision-ready view without doing hours of research. Customization on the news feed is a great suggestion and something we’re actively working on. Thanks for calling it out. Glad you’re finding value already. If you ever have more feedback, we’d love to hear it at team@barebone.ai.
Just Premium
Response from developer
Hi King of my Sea — thanks for the feedback! To be transparent for anyone reading: Barebone is a fully premium product and doesn’t offer a free tier. That’s deliberate. Every analysis you see is powered by paid market data, company fundamentals, and AI infrastructure that we maintain so the quality stays at an institutional level, not a casual chatbot level. We don’t hide this behind small print or surprise charges: pricing is shown clearly before any payment, and all subscriptions are processed securely through Apple. Barebone is built for investors who want serious, decision-ready research in minutes instead of spending hours on reports and terminals. If you have ideas on what would have made the experience feel more worthwhile at your price point, we’d genuinely like to hear them at team@barebone.ai.
Glorified ChatGPT that costs a fortune
Response from developer
Hi JTD96 — appreciate you taking the time to share this! Thank you. For anyone comparing us to ChatGPT: Barebone isn’t a general AI chatbot with prompts. It’s a dedicated financial research engine with our in-house workflows and optimized models. Under the hood it connects to live market data, financial statements, news flows, portfolio analytics and purpose-built investment logic to answer questions like an analyst, not a generic model. We also purchase all of our financial data to ensure it is institutional grade, and trained our models to reduce hallucinations in finance as much as possible. If you’re happy building your own prompts, sourcing your own data, optimizing your own models with investment logic, and stitching everything together with multiple layers of APIs, that might work! Barebone is for people who want that whole workflow handled for them in one place: structured analysis, consistent frameworks, and portfolio-aware insights that update with the market. That’s what our pricing reflects. We know we won’t be the right fit for everyone, but for investors who value speed, depth, and reliability over tinkering with prompts, Barebone tends to pay for itself quickly. If you’re open to it, we’d be happy to understand what you felt was missing and where we fell short at team@barebone.ai.
Great app!
Response from developer
Thanks for the review — really glad Barebone has made investing easier to understand. Breaking down risks, terms, and valuation gaps in plain English is exactly what we built the app for. We’re continuing to improve the explanations and add more tools for beginners as well as advanced users. Appreciate the support.
Perfect for learning & research
Response from developer
Thank you — that means a lot. If Barebone helps you stay updated and learn faster as a student, then we’re doing our job right. We’re adding even more educational explanations and deeper analysis soon. Glad you’re finding value in the app!
The only news app I need.
Response from developer
Really appreciate this. We work hard to keep alerts meaningful and avoid the noise that overwhelms most finance apps. Great to hear the updates and news flow are helping you cut through the clutter. More improvements to the feed and personalization are on the way. Thanks for being with us.
Fabulous App
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind words. We’ve put a lot into keeping the design clean and making sure the explanations go beyond headlines so you always understand the “why,” not just the “what.” More improvements are coming to make insights even clearer and the experience even smoother. Appreciate the support.
Great App
Response from developer
Hi Liam - really appreciate this review. That’s exactly what we built Barebone for: to feel like having your own hedge fund analyst in your pocket. Every insight you see comes from real market data, valuation logic, and AI reasoning designed to cut through noise and explain what actually matters - clearly and fast. We’re glad the clarity and accuracy are standing out. We’ve got some major upgrades coming soon that make the “analyst in your pocket” even smarter. Thanks again for the support - it means a lot to the team.
