### 1/5 — Interface doesn’t allow you to set up account

*2022-04-24, version 9.0.1*

I tried to set up an account but the layout of the “next” button on the name/username screen occludes the username field and it is impossible to enter the details required to proceed.

### 5/5 — So much better than FinTwit

*2022-04-18, version 8.9.9*

The platform has so much high quality stock research. It is a great community and I  am happy to be a part of it!

### 5/5 — great app!

*2022-04-18, version 8.9.9*

great app for transparent and honest investors

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-04-18, version 8.9.9*

This is truly amazing app for investors from novice to pro! Love that you can track and share your portfolio and connect with people that are smart, thoughtful, and kind!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2022-03-31, version 8.9.4*

I am shocked to see this only has 3.9 stars. I am someone who will download 20-50 apps at a time and go through them, one by one, dropping them within minutes. You can tel after a while very quickly how worthless or useful an app is going to be. I haven’t personally been a fan of the other social investing platforms I’ve come across, they seem mostly hype driven, all momentum & technical, rocket ships to the moon, etc. I was on CommonStock for less than 10 minutes, and after posting a question I wanted a legitimate answer to, got a response with PARAGRAPHS of intelligent investment knowledge, answering in more detail than I could’ve imagined, for free, the question I had just posed. The comments and posts are articulate and seem to be based on fundamentals. As a value focused fundamental investor who likes to challenge ideas and learn new things, I absolutely love this app already!!

### 1/5 — Couldn’t even sign up

*2022-03-22, version 8.6.1*

Tried creating an account. Got caught in an endless loop of “verify email -> open app -> verify email” that never ended. Bummer.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2021-04-16, version 4.0.1*

Love Commonstock — definitely worth downloading and checking out. The UX is beautiful and it’s crazy informative. Great way to stay up to date and learn more about investing. It’s changed the game for me!

### 3/5 — Are leaderboard returns reliable?

*2021-03-26, version 3.4.39.1*

Because they look pretty unbelievable. These guys are going to be richer than Warren Buffett soon with these kind of returns.

### 5/5 — Incredible product

*2021-03-11, version 1.0.4.2*

End to end, this product is amazing.

### 4/5 — cool idea

*2021-01-25, version 1.0.2.6.4*

a bit slow
