Another app that you have to pay for

This app was brilliant but as usual now you have to pay for basic features. I would have given it 10 stars let alone 5 but now they’ve started introducing “updates” so you have to pay for features. My recommendation is just write your portfolio down on a piece of paper before you store all of your info on an app that’s eventually going to block you through a paywall forcing you to buy your info back. I’m going to stop using this app now and stick to a pen and paper before I lose it all.

I understand running costs exist but just add a feature where you can donate something as most of us are so appreciative of the app. I would donate £10 just to keep it the same as it was before

Hi this is heartbraking for me. I spend so much time and money with this app and if i see one star for this reason it makes me cry. You cant imagine how much money i need to spend every month to just run this app. How much cost every update. I am donating this app every month because i made this for users. If 100 users donate 10£ i still do not have enough money for single month. Costs of developer, running costs and third party app are crazy. I recommend to create own app and you can see real costs. However this app is made for users. If you dont want support us to make this app better let us know here : info@goldfolio.app and we will always find another solution for you. Thank you 


Issues with latest versions

I originally gave Goldfolia a 1-star review due to some issues with the latest update. Since then, they’ve worked closely with me to resolve the problem, so I’m happy to update my rating to 5 stars.

Response from developer

Hi, please contact us at info@goldfolio.app and we can figure out a solution for you. The costs are so high that it is not possible to continue without a paywall. I am truly sorry for that, but I cannot keep paying these monthly costs from my own pocket forever. Let us know, and I will do my best to find a solution for you.

Great app for bullion

This app is great for tracking bullion! I would love to see the ability to add Jewlery as well though!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. I truly appreciate your feedback. This abillity we will add this year for sure :) Lukas

Please add average cost stat

Would love to see an average cost statistic to track my dollar cost average (DCA) across my metals!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. Search option will come for sure :)

Paywalling features that were free

I understand implementing micro transactions to the app and normally this wouldn’t bother me.

However, taking away features that were free in the beginning(adding pictures and advanced pricing) and then paywalling behind a micro transaction is disgusting and not the right way to go about it.

This makes me not want to pay for it and delete the app. If however you add new features and paywalled it then that’ll be fine or if the features were paywalled from the beginning.

Uninstalled

I’ve uninstalled the app after they’ve changed features like photos and bulk upload to a premium subscription that users pay for, the app is clearly desperate for money, instead of incentivizing users to download their app by making it better they just add a subscription service. DON’T BOTHER WITH THIS APP, there are better ones out there for tracking your stack growth.

Highly Recommend!

Excellent amount of free features with a variety of portfolio metals you can track including copper!

Why do you have to pay now?

I agree with others. I’ve been using this app for ages, and I started it because it does everything I wanted. It’s easy to track, the layout is nice, it’s clean efficient. Overall the app is amazing.

But I’ve spent hours added all my portfolio to this app, going back through all purchases making sure everything is correct to now not be able to use half the features I was already using…. Do I now go to another app and all my time was wasted. Or do I stay here with half the features I had.

I understand and respect costs and bills need to be paid and things are getting more expensive, but also not everyone can afford a fun bill like this on a monthly basis. I would much prefer banner ads at the bottom or optional donations etc etc. maybe these are not cost effective. But I’m super gutted this is now paid as the app is absolutely amazing what it is. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because of this change.

Best App Ever

I’ve never seen an app fixed before there was a problem and they fixed it in 12 hours over the weekend.

I’ve been using this about a year and achieve around 150% returns on my metals using this app to track my purchases

It is easy to use even my elderly Dad can keep an eye on his portfolio

I downloaded about 6 other apps before this one which were all useless.

This is an essential daily tool for anyone investing in physical precious metals or trading it

BEWARE

App is pretty glitchy. Widgets don’t work, P/L doesn’t work, and before you could add a photo to an item in your inventory to catalog but now it seems that adding a photo is becoming a “premium” feature. (dumb thing to pay for)
But now there’s a catch! You want the premium features? The button doesn’t even work either!! Kinda funny really…

Response from developer

Could you please send us a video at info@goldfolio.app ? Many people think the markets are open during the weekend, so that may be the reason why you see no changes in widgets or P/L during weekends :) We also need to add a paywall because there is no other way to cover the app’s monthly costs.

This new Premium addition makes the app not worth it anymore

What they had for the last couple months has been perfect. No issues, efficient and accurate. Then they added these new premium features as a cashgrab and make the app borderline impossible to use without paying the premium fee. Coming from someone who has been using this app for about a year or so this is a big disappointment. Especially as I’ve been using this mainly over the Tavex myportfolio section on the website. Now I’m going to have to manually add my things to the Tavex app and delete this. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it and not everything needs to be monetised. What a complete joke i woke up to, i wish i never had automatic updates on so I could’ve avoided this and i know its not going to be reverted so this is where i make my exit.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. Honestly, this is heartbreaking because the rating is about paid features, not functionality. Monthly costs for development, APIs, and maintenance are so high that keeping everything free is not possible anymore. I truly appreciate your understanding. Lukas If you want i can add you to the tester group so you can use old version.

Excellent

I wanted something to use besides excel or my phones notepad. This is perfect! It covers the major metals, lets you add notes, and a list of other great features. Looking forward to growing my stack and watching this app evolve.

5/5

The Best App, I’ve ever had for my physical portfolio.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. I truly appreciate your feedback. Lukas

Excellent w minor need

Excellent app, has plenty to offer. A minor improvement would be to allow the deduction of a sale, which made profit.

Response from developer

Hi thank you for your review. Yes we plan this i hope we will integrate this feature soon. Lukas

Could be perfect

It’s almost there but you can’t add a premium properly to correctly value your portfolio, only add an advanced premium. I have to play with the weighs to make it work

Response from developer

Hi yes we want to add plus and minus sign so you can choose :) i hope it will be in the app soon. Thanks for feedback. Lukas

Exactly what I was looking for

Simply put the title of this review is that… “exactly what I was looking for”. I’ve seen some other decent reviews that voiced constructive criticisms for things that could be fixed and I’ll reiterate some of those here. Previously there was a critique to add a printable portfolio option and it is up and running perfectly for me (saves as some sort of CSV format I believe). I also do concur with some of the other critiques that the UI could be a bit better and it does feel somewhat clunky at times. Other than those two though (one of them being addressed already) the app was exactly what I was looking for and really the only one on the IOS app market that addressed my needs. My only real individual suggestion would be to add some sort of donation or support option for the creator/ dev team so that we can try and keep this app free as long as possible. Well done dev team!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. I truly appreciate your feedback and support. We always try to do our best to keep the app accessible for everyone. However, the operating and development costs are very high, which makes it difficult to sustain everything completely free. That’s why we will add a Premium version. The app will remain free to use (70%), but some advanced features will be available only to paid users (30%). I’m sorry for this change, but it’s the only way for us to cover costs and continue improving the app. Even with Premium, we may still need to invest some of our own money to support development. We already have updates planned for more than two years ahead, with many new features we’d love to add, and Premium will help us make that possible. Thank you again for your understanding. Lukas



Fantastic support

Added extra features at request - many thanks!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. I truly appreciate your feedback. Lukas

Pretty stellar option ngl

Tried a few other apps but they asked me for a subscription. This one is free and looks really nice and modern. Um I think that if it had a widget where you could see your portfolio without having to open the app that would be awesome or have one that shows the price of silver or smth.

Pretty nice and easy to add my metal into the app and it tracks it all and how much I’m up (or down) so that’s pretty cool.
