### 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.

### 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.

### 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!!!!!

### 4/5 — Clean simple app

*2019-08-01*

I originally bought it for my Apple Watch so I can have it on my home screen, but it’s not there. I really hope you can implement that soon. However, I like how simple it is, and the badge on the app icon is great.

### 1/5 — Not happy will be asking for a refund

### 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.

It works now its fixed.
Regards

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Complications!!!

*2019-08-16*

Literally the only reason for buying this was because of the Apple Watch and it doesn’t even have complications to show me the spot price on the fly. Come on guys...

### 1/5 — Not possible to set the Currency!

*2019-08-16*

Can not change the Currency! Just USD! 😩

### 1/5 — No support or help with cancellation

*2019-07-16*

Hello, I wanted rates in local currency which this app does not support. There is no option to contact support or request for refund. I’m really disappointed

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-04-24*

The app shows price in US only and calculates percentage incorrectly (does not matter which period is selected forvthe graph, the change % value stays the same).

### 5/5 — Gold!

*2016-04-01, version 4.7.6*

Worth it's weight in gold. Cousy use per ounce weight, though. Midas Touch!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2016-01-09*

### 5/5 — Easy

### 5/5 — Works!

*2015-07-30, version 4.7.6*

### 5/5 — Marvelous App

*2015-05-04*

This app does what it says. But you should add more things like currency exchange so people could convert the price in their currency.

### 5/5 — Gold Prices

*2015-02-23*

Works as expected! Alerts and badge icons work great!
