The desktop Factset is functional but the mobile app is a waste of time. ### 3/5 — Needs some features *2021-01-29, version 2.61.8.8* 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. ### 3/5 — Good data but VERY slow *2019-06-26, version 2.54.2.6* 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 ### 3/5 — Mostly ok, for what it does. *2018-12-17, version 2.53.2.2* The app shows me most of what I would need while I’m on the go or out of the office. The UI is dated, and in many cases I’d just as soon use the WSJ’s market overview app. I’d either like to see (1) more customization built into this app, and/or (2) a facelift. Overall, good, but not great. ### 4/5 — Great app but today's update crashes. Help! *2017-04-27, version 2.38.16.17* Today's update crashes on my iPhone 6 running 10.3.1 Help! ### 1/5 — Stopped working two updates ago. Ugh *2015-11-12, version 2.18.35.8* See above. Won't open. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-11-06, version 2.18.34.8* Update does not open. Continues to spin and then kicks out. Needs a fix immediately. ### 1/5 — Latest update a disaster *2015-08-13, version 2.16.9.18* If you try to open research from an email alert the app will crash every single time. Wasn't like that until the 8/12 update. ### 2/5 — Buggy! *2015-04-29, version 2.13.31.11* I had very high expectations for this app because the desktop app is so amazing! When I navigate through the app, it certainly appears to have many great features. Unfortunately, I have not been able to use them because the app freezes and shuts off with nearly every action I take. My hopes are high Factset will fix these bugs, so the app will be as killer as I know it can be! ### 1/5 — Still crashes for me.. *2014-11-07, version 2.8.25.6* Even with the update to the update. ### 1/5 — Seriously, Pleeeeze Fix this App - is STILL blowing-up AFTER the "fix"! *2014-11-06, version 2.8.25.6* I updated the App, and still the same behavior. I then checked my software (up-to-date), and also restarted my iPad. Same result. Please fix this, it's completely unusable! ### 1/5 — Buggy - embarassing release *2014-11-04, version 2.8.24.181* If it is not ready do not launch it It crashes immediately on opening Description says this is the final release to support iOS 8... Really? You have a real quality problem that reflects poorly on your product Boy do I miss my bloomberg! ### 1/5 — Mr *2014-11-03, version 2.8.24.181* You broke the app with the update. ### 1/5 — CRASHES AT STARTUP! *2014-11-03, version 2.8.24.181* CRASHES AT STARTUP! ### 1/5 — Crashes continually- latest update inoperable *2014-11-03, version 2.8.24.181* Pls fix ASAP ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pointless *2021-11-06, version 2.62.14.3* 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. ### 1/5 — The event listening feature requires you to suspend all other activity on phone or tablet *2020-09-25, version 2.61.8.8* 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. ### 1/5 — fail. positive reviews r fake *2019-06-25, version 2.53.2.2* this app is poorly ported version of desktop. pathetic effort all around. audio in events calendar section flat out does not work. I reached out to mobile product manager at Factset about this and 1 year later it STILL DOES NOT WORK. just a fail around. ### 1/5 — One Star *2019-01-24, version 2.53.2.2* The mobile app is drastically less than its computer counterpart. The mobile app seems out of date, neglected in maneuverability in terms of reaching information about companies, and most of all shows significantly less information than when using it on the computer. It’s like a lite, beta, just-out-of-the-factory FactSet application. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2018-10-30* Your app is terrible compared to your desktop platform and your competitors apps (e.g. Eikon, Bloomberg). Even the Capital IQ app might be better, and that’s saying something. This desperately needs to be improved. ### 1/5 — Latest update not working *2017-09-01, version 2.42.10.7* Updated to a test version and app just crashes when I open it. Looks like it is running when I see all apps open but if I select it, it just crashes and leaves me at my home screen. ### 1/5 — Crashes! *2017-04-28, version 2.38.16.17* The app crashes on startup! ### 1/5 — Latest release crashes *2017-04-28, version 2.38.16.17* No longer loads in iOS v10.3.1 ### 1/5 — Completely unusable with latest update *2016-05-15, version 2.21.32.11* I downloaded the latest factset from the app store on my iPad and every time I try to use it, it goes directly to the background. If I try to swipe to get to it or click the button to get to it, it just goes to the background again. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but same problem. Needs to be fixed ASAP. ### 1/5 — Buggiest app ever *2016-02-09, version 2.19.1.11* Crashes constantly and although it said I had successfully saved my watch list, it wasn't there a few minutes later after another crash. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Extra *2019-04-25, version 2.53.2.2* Fast and great to use on the go! ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend *2018-09-14, version 2.50.7.2* I use the app to stay up to date with news on my commute to work. Easy to use, and pairs great with my workstation. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — App is slow *2016-02-18, version 2.20.20.2* App is slow ### 5/5 — Sleek ui *2015-01-16, version 2.9.107.34* Big improvement over previous version ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-11-22, version 2.8.25.6* One of the best market data apps out there, great for tracking my portfolio! ### 5/5 — Great app with sleek interface *2013-10-17, version 2.1.2.14* Big improvement over the old version. New update to the factset app offers a sleek, updated look with a lot more functionality. When you need to stay connected when you're on the road, the factset app is perfect. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2012-09-19, version 1.20.84.7* I can view the information I need on the go! ### 5/5 — Why complaints *2012-07-20, version 1.19.0.10* Don't know what people are complaining about. Show me any others companies that provides this service on an mobile app.... ### 5/5 — Very cool *2012-06-23, version 1.19.0.9* Love it! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2012-01-05, version 1.15.0.1* Such a great app and easy to use! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
