### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-01-09*

This app is great, Ive had the premium plan for years. Makes it really easy to manage my own portfolios with all the data I care about in one place.

Guru focus has all types of ratios per company so is very easy to understand if a company is over or under valued.

### 5/5 — Love it

Great app

### 5/5 — Guru focus

*2025-10-21, version 3.25.4*

Guru focus is great

### 5/5 — Great Resource

*2025-10-20, version 3.25.4*

The free version of this application is great. The analysis and reviews are one of my primary tools for stock picking.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-10-17, version 3.25.4*

Good for finding fundamental stock

### 5/5 — My review of GF

*2025-10-17*

I pay for this app after using the free version for years. When making decisions worth multiples of the annual cost, it just makes sense. Best screeners and fundamental calculators for quick decision making on short term trades and long term investments. GF is excellent. My only criticism is that I wish the calculations were real time.

### 5/5 — RSI

*2025-10-14, version 3.25.4*

Using guru focus for the rsi is great I highly recommend using this app

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-10-09, version 3.25.4*

The greatest Application on the planet in 2025!

### 5/5 — So good

*2025-10-08*

This app is great. It provides tons of useful quantitative information and calculated quantities, statistics, and ratios, many of which are difficult to find elsewhere, all organized and uniquely collected together. I really like also the provision of the estimated value of the company and the graph overlaying price and the valuation estimate. I also use the gurufocus website as well, which among other things makes it easy to construct customized views of selected provided stats and ratios, and then rank and compare companies within your custom portfolios.

### 4/5 — Useful app

*2025-10-07, version 3.25.4*

If in the app the guru trade chart is visible it would be perfect to me.

### 2/5 — Expensive

*2025-09-26*

What isn’t made clear when you download is the cost. It’s $499 to $2398 per year. They need to tell people right up front. Without paying it hides the stock names so it is a useless tool. By concealing the cost you don’t know until you run the app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-09-10, version 3.25.2*

Excellent app for value investing

### 1/5 — Cheating!

*2026-07-24*

I paid for a full year subscription. One month before the subscription was due to expire, I cancelled it (which in itself is not easy to do). My access was cut immediately, even though I had still fully paid month. Be careful!

**Developer response:** Could you please open a ticket on website so our staff can contact you and solve the issue for you?

### 1/5 — Login issue

*2025-03-31, version 3.22.2*

I have a premium membership until 01/25/2026. when I try to see stocks forecast, its telling me to login first.. its only available for premium members..(funny thing i am premium member). And try to login through gmail its saying login successful but still can see forecast showing me same error.

### 1/5 — Horrible.

*2023-01-03, version 3.9.5*

This app won’t let anyone sign up. Keeps telling me to input the security phrase. After 3 times doing it, I’m taken to a blank page. Phone is updated, app is updated. Just a poor app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2021-06-19, version 3.2.2*

Just says access denied and nothing works on any security.

### 1/5 — Terrible APP , but gr8 info

*2020-10-31, version 3.1.7*

The app is terrible. Hasn’t even working for months. Won’t let me login , even though I have a paid membership. The login works on the website but not on the app. Please Fix ASAP.

### 1/5 — What is going on with this app.....white screen keep pops up

*2020-09-27, version 3.1.6*

White screen keep pops up when I click ticker to go in to see inside trader and other things

### 1/5 — Not able to see Individual stock detail

*2020-09-27, version 3.1.6*

Blackout when I click on individual stock on iPhone.

### 1/5 — App is not finished

*2019-07-06, version 2.5.2*

It does not work well. It is hard to select a field to write the name of a ticker, the DCF analysis tool does not update when you change the inputs, etc... But there is a lot of potential value if they were to fix it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind feedback.  Please try out the new update released today. This version is with a whole new redesign and technology improvements. Please contact us if you have any questions. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Great site but buggy app

*2019-04-24, version 2.5.2*

I love using the site, but the app is very buggy for anything except the newsfeed. I get a “System maintenance. Please try later” error message when I try to look at any of my portfolios. I would like to use my iPhone to access the site, but the layout isn’t mobile friendly.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind feedback.  Please try out the new update released today. This version is with a whole new redesign and technology improvements. Please contact us if you have any questions. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Great data, terrible app

*2018-05-06, version 2.4.4*

I like the Gurufocus website and the info it provides on financials for companies. It’s wonderful to have access to everything in the same place and calculated ratios (e.g. P/B).

However the app needs serious improvement. It’s full of bugs, extremely slow and I’m not able to see any info most of the time as it’s ‘under maintenance’.

### 5/5 — My review of GF

Best screeners and fundamental calculators for quick decision making on short term trades and long term investments. GF is excellent. My only criticism is that I wish the calculations were real time.
This app has made me hundreds of thousands, worth every penny.

### 5/5 — One of the Best

*2026-02-08*

As a self taught investor who has been reading, learning, and investing for about 15 years, I'm always looking for good sources of information without paying $250+ annually. 

I have found a dozen or so apps I use that have reduces 12 hours of due diligence when I started investing, to under an hour now. Guru Focus is one of those apps that are indispensable. I love apps that create their own valuations, infographs, etc., makes it easy to see at a glance if there are any red flags. 

There are financial metrics (the only thing I use to make my investment decisions) that I can't find anywhere else for free. So many valuations and profitability metrics, & a very rare source that displays shareholder yield, buyback yield, Greenblatt RoC, Peter Lynch fair value, Ben Graham fair value, & lots of other methods of valuation. 

App also provides definitions & details for every metric. Can’t wait to be able to try the paid version.
