### 5/5 — Consistently Valuable Data

*2021-12-10, version 2.0*

Closed end funds are my most consistent source of income. CEF Connect has become my most valuable tool for shifting through the mountain of data to find fund with good returns and solid track records. I use CEF Connect on a regular basis. It has allowed me to increase my monthly dividend income from hundreds to thousands of dollars a month by studying and applying the information it contains.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2021-06-13, version 1.6*

Crashes as you try to turn on filters. Not all, but about half of the filters cause a crash and a complete start over. How could ANY level of testing allow this app to be released?

### 4/5 — So far, I love it.

*2018-06-07, version 1.5*

I’ve compared a few things vs the online version and haven’t noticed any disparities.   I may be wrong.  I believe that the app and online site must be using the same dataset in 2018.  I’ll keep checking.   

I would like to see the app updated to support split-screen on my iPad.  That would garner another star (or two)!

### 1/5 — Looked promising, but it started shutting down at startup

*2017-05-09, version 1.4*

Looked promising, but it started shutting down right after I started it up

### 1/5 — Columns in search disappear and look like --

*2017-02-06, version 1.4*

I like it but there seems to be some glitches

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time. Data set update issues

*2016-09-18, version 1.4*

Don't waste your time. Just use the web application. Once you login, data set will not update.

### 1/5 — Data up date fails

*2016-07-03, version 1.4*

Data updates fail. App freezes. Have deleted and reinstalled turned off iPad. Issues replicate

### 5/5 — Great CEF App

*2015-03-14, version 1.0*

Nuveen provides a terrific amount of data on closed end funds. I've been checking to see if they'd produce an app, and now they have. This is the go-to source for CEFs.
