### 2/5 — Super Glitchy App

*2026-04-16, version 3.6.1*

News articles frequently  fail to load and the app freezes.  Very annoying.

### 1/5 — Not receiving notifications

*2026-04-06, version 3.6.1*

Not getting any notifications. The app seems to be broken

### 1/5 — Will not login no matter how many times I set up

*2026-02-27, version 3.5.11*

Useless

### 1/5 — The worst news outlet

*2026-02-15, version 3.5.11*

Real talk: Benzinga is the worst news outlet and their app is a piece of garbage. Why does the app require me to sign in every day? There’s absolutely no reason it can’t remember my login like every other app. Why is a paid service so crammed full of ads? There are so many ads, they even cover the articles so you can’t read all the text no matter how you scroll. Why is the feed so full of junk like “Dave Ramsey tells a couple they’re broke”? There are always multiple “articles” about basic financial advice Dave Ramsey says on his show. Guess what? We don’t care. The worst offenses are how Benzinga reports. They mislead us every day with articles saying “why is this stock up today?” Look at that stock and it will be down. “Analysts say buy this,” then you look and it’s a piece of garbage they’re pumping for who - hedge funds? Why are you misleading your readers with bad news? Even for legit news, Benzinga is always late reporting important news - always. They are Always late - Always. Bloomberg is always a few minutes faster and you can get headlines faster for free on Twitter. Seriously a corrupt piece of garbage.

### 4/5 — Decent. Some suggestions

*2026-02-04, version 3.5.11*

Decent app - somewhat cluttered. 

The main gripe I have as a Pro user is that I have to re-login every time I open the app. Can you please work on persisting logins or offering that as an option on the page? I usually want to check a message/alert and instead of taking a few seconds it’s 10+ seconds since I have to re-navigate to whatever I am looking for, even if I select a notification.

### 2/5 — Wth is wrong with your login

*2026-01-30, version 3.5.11*

Can't log in. It keeps bringing me back to the first page. When I'm logged in by any luck, it kicks me out the next day. Doesn't stay logged in. Is this what you charge so much money for?

### 1/5 — Not optimized for iPad

*2026-01-19, version 3.5.11*

This app is made for an iPhone, not an iPad. It looks terrible. I’m much better off just visiting the website rather than using the app on my 13” iPad.

### 1/5 — Authentication never worked, unbelievable customer service, not fixed problem over one month.

*2026-01-17, version 3.5.11*

Authentication with google account always ask me to try again next time. Something went wrong alert keep popping up. Email support guys never response to my email, just one sentence: how can I help. And then gone. Still cannot login using this app today. I can login on web version though.

### 5/5 — Benzinga

*2026-01-13, version 3.5.11*

Great app for latest news and updates on the market

### 3/5 — Need to improve

*2025-12-11, version 3.5.11*

App dose not deserve this rating , need to be updated live and quick
