Just Garbage

The app is non functional, viewing graphs you would think would be the main benefit, but it’s very broken experience. This is just web slop or react native shoved in an app.

What happened?

Graph Images are cropped, making it impossible to use for months. Never used to be like this.

Very excited… but graph images are cropped

Very excited to use this app. Had no idea that Fred put this together. However, the graph images are being cropped so only the top half is visable. This affects the image no matter, so when saving a photo it only saves the top half of the graph. Once this is resolved, I look forward to changing my rating to five stars.

App is Utter Garbage, Data is Incredible Though!

The entirety of this app is carried by the data they provide, and rightfully so. However, if you are going to make an app at least have some developers on the team with UI experience. This is truly an eyesore to open and the website is so much better.
With that being said, and I know this is a real reach here, but it would be awesome if you could include widgets of at least our favorite's. Would be awesome to not even have to open the app and just see the real time market data.
