User reviews

Deleted

Clunky and slow, easily outmatched by any mobile app such as yahoo, CNBC, Google or others. The desktop Factset is functional but the mobile app is a waste of time.

Pointless

So difficult to use. Can’t find watchlists made on the desktop version. Can’t find internal research notes produced by my company. Interface looks like it is from the 90s. If it was easier to use it would have 5 stars as the data is great, if you can find it.

Needs some features

The overall app is good and I use it daily. It would be nice if I could set stock alerts directly rom the app rather than having to do it on the factset system. Even a simply price alert would be great. The charts need a few more features as weñl, particularly when it comes to time frame. It would be better to set for daily, weekly, monthly vs just a 1 year 2 year, etc. Rrgarding portfolios, it appears you cannot rename a portfolio group through the app, that woul dbe a nice feature.

The event listening feature requires you to suspend all other activity on phone or tablet

The event listening feature is really inferior to the Bloomberg app which allows you To continue listening without the app having to occupy your Entire screen. The Bloomberg app allows you to continue listening while your phone is locked. The FactSet app requires you to suspend all other activity on your phone and ensure that it remains unlocked for the duration of the event which is impractical and frustrating.

Good data but VERY slow

The FactSet app has good company financial data but it is very very slow. Much slower than Bloomberg in serving the info for some reason
