## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2017-11-04*

Waste of time. Can’t play the game without buying “tokens” - if you read their documentation first, you’ll discover that buying stocks with play money is free, but to sell a stinker you have to buy IAP tokens. No thanks, plenty of free paper trading websites and apps out there.

**Developer response:** You can invest the original $100,000 portfolio and see if its value increases faster than the market.  You just can't sell and reinvest in different assets.

### 1/5 — NOT WORTHIT

*2016-09-02*

This game is 1, confusing, and 2 pay to win! When I see a free game, I assume it's actually free, but no, I was wrong. This game lets you buy, but when you go to sell, you have to pay REAL MONEY. Meaning in-app purchase to get "tokens". After playing for about and hour I can solidl recommend NO ONE get this game. If there were 0 stars, that is what I would give it.

**Developer response:** You can invest the original $100,000 portfolio and see if its value increases faster than the market.

### 1/5 — This app is not free

*2016-02-25*

This app is not free. You have to buy tokens to make a trade.

**Developer response:** You can invest the original $100,000 portfolio and see if its value increases faster than the market.  You just can't sell and reinvest in different assets.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2015-06-30, version 1.1*

You have to pay IRL money to sell your shares in a stock. Do they really expect to make money with this trick? There are lots of free stock trading practice apps. Idiots!

### 3/5 — BTM Stock Market

*2015-09-27*

I like the overall format, but would help if there were the stocks available to be traded listed.

### 4/5 — Not working on new update

*2016-01-31*

Excellent app/game, but on the newest iOS update the app crashes immediately upon opening. Can the developers please help and fix this so I can get back to beating the market?

### 4/5 — Very good for beta version

*2016-01-09*

It updates as it says it will and is a real gun simulation. I would recommend it for folks who want to test their luck without losing real money. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for the finished product.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-05-24, version 1.3*

This is a great app to learn the inns and outs of the stock market without losing real money I recommend it if you enjoy good guesses

### 5/5 — A real challenge

*2015-11-23*

I wish all my trader friends would try this and see if they can Beat The Market.  This lets you place all the standard trades (market open, limit, stop, on the market) against any stock on almost any public market.  And it keeps track of dividends.  Then it shows the result of your portfolio and ranks it against the market - both return and (beta adjusted) alpha.  There should be weekly betting pools around this app at all trading desks - but based on alpha not return!
