Love IBD But this app…

This app blows. It is slow. It is hard to navigate.

Good info. Obnoxious level of ads.

Clicking “no thanks” to their offers means nothing as the pop ups keep coming up every time you click on something.

Not Very Good

My stock list is always being deleted and I have to re- enter the information

Need Full Screen View

The content on the IBD app is great! However, on an iPad Air, the app opens as a tall, skinny app — about the shape of an iPhone. But why not display more on the full size iPad screen? There is so much screen real estate that IBD is not taking advantage of. It would be much better if I saw more info on a single screen.

Still Broken

This app is still completely broken. Notifications never open the linked article. The app also cuts your audio. Completely unusable app.

Stocks traded up.

What’s the benefit of knowing what stock went up the previous day it should be ahead of the opening not after the close.!!!!

Good

Help to select the best stock.

Push notifications faulty

Good app but the push notifications that come in never end up opening the actual article that they are alluding to. Instead it just opens the app itself and then you have to search for the article, often times unsuccessfully. Pretty annoying honestly.

Fix the link from alert to app

Great context, but clicking my alerts does not bring up the article - only takes me to the app home page. Used to be able to view the article to which I was alerted.

Good information but too many ads!

I’m subscribed but riddled with constant advertisements to subscribe.

Annoying

Multiple pop ups while in the APP are very annoying. I paid for access to the information to not be bombarded with silly advertisements. Also, the visible screen in the app is small and no where near the size of my Ipad screen. Hitting the expand arrows only increases the visible size slightly. I was a subscriber around 25 years ago when the digital version of IBD was in it’s infancy. Back then, the digital version was annoying and so was the nutty right-wing bias on many of their articles and editorials. Those issues made me drop subscription back then. 25 years later, the nutso right-wing bias is gone (thankfully)but the digital subscription issues are present but in a different way.

July 4, 2026
I am still using MSFT
Hopefully msft will move higher in winter

Aug 16, 2023 I signed up again. I am now retired & did not think I needed IBD.
BIDEN is wreaking the economy on 2023 with his inflation increasing policies. Everything costs more now a days. Fuel up to $3.48 in ALABAMA. Trump had it around $2.15. His policies worked.

July 11,2018 Still love this app. I am using stock of the day and NH list. (This IBD APP IS EXTREMELY valuable if you get investor business daily newspaper from Los Angelo’s. You can sign up for the electronic addition which is delivered daily in morning.

I enjoy this app. May 3, 2018 The more I use it the better I like it. I have created 5 watch lists for different time horizons. Short term Stocks to long term Stocks.

Broken

Notifications don't open to the article. Autoplay video interrupts your Audio on every open.

Go IBD!

Great!

Excellent advice

App not navigating to alerts

I get pop up alerts on articles that I want to read but then cannot find them.

Seriously?

…..they send out a email to end-users to update the app immediately for some alleged data improvement …. …and they still can’t display dividend info. I don’t see any improvement in anything.

And, to use the App one must be a Digital subscriber, yet every dam time one examines a stock that is currently moving in the market, an advertisement pops up telling the digital subscription user about a digital subscription user discount - every dam time.

I’ve been canceling IBD services and am very close to canceling this too.

IBD gives the best current info

As a retires person I need to support my SS and IBD allows me the resources needed to make quality decisions.

Simple

Barely works

Losing my created stock lists info

Up until recently I absolutely loved this application. I have run into a significant problem of losing my created stock lists. This problem inhibits me from looking at my entire portfolio and other lists of stocks I had previously organized.
