### 2/5 — No GBP option

*2024-08-22*

No option to change currency, a simple option which would make the app useful. Another 1.99 wasted.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t update

*2024-04-01*

Only shows prices when first installed doesn’t update after that…useless

### 3/5 — Out off order

*2023-12-11*

Manque de constance dans le fonctionnement, affichage de la valeur du cour sur l’icône de l’application régulièrement en écart la mise à jour live ne se fait pas pendant plusieurs heures ou jours. Souvent après les WE.

2023/11 Still not operational, it’s not joke Out off order since long time as usual

**Developer response:** Dear User,
Thank you for your patience. New version is out with a completely new backend. We promise regular updates in the future.
Regards

### 1/5 — New functions - less functions

*2022-02-22*

The live mode shows nothing. Just a curve. No scale, no 2 days mode, no 2 weeks mode. No way to scroll. Very poor. Design beats user value. 🙁 Stupid.

**Developer response:** Dear user,
It works now its fixed.
Regards

### 5/5 — Nice App

*2020-12-17*

I’m using this app frm 2014

### 1/5 — App For Amateurs

*2020-11-04*

No bid, no ask, what is with the 2 day spread?... have to spend $1.99 more on their other app to get the silver & again $1.99 for Platinum price...
Deleted....I will be asking apple for a refund.

### 1/5 — Forced notifications

*2020-08-02*

I chose to disable the notifications yet the app forces me to switch to the settings to restore notifications every time i open it. 1 star for coercing people to enable notifications.

### 2/5 — Oh Deary

*2020-03-25*

Why is the farthest out timeline chart you can look at is 2 weeks!!!!!!!! This is a Spot
Price gold app.  2 Weeks???? Are you kidding me??? If I pay for an app who’s only job is to tell me the price of gold - I want it historically!!  I know, I know - I’m asking the creators to actually work for a living. Honestly though. TWO WEEKS!!!!!

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2020-03-06*

The charts should have daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. And the percentage should update for each chart. Then I give 5 stars.
