I appreciate this app and thank those who keep it current. ### 5/5 — A remarkable tool. *2017-08-19, version 3.2.6* I could say lots more positive things about this app, but it has probably been said many times before. It's timely information for those who need to know, and if you're just curious just scroll back all the way to the 1960's to see how prices have changed. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-07-26, version 3.2.6* I have just started on this app and it has proved to be worth its salt!! Great info ### 5/5 — Handy app for silver bugs *2017-07-22, version 3.2.6* Perfect for what it is, goes well beyond what I use it for ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2017-06-15, version 3.2.6* I watch this appt everyday because it shows the price of Precious Metals 24 hrs a day after the market closes in the US. ### 5/5 — Good stats in live time *2017-06-14, version 3.2.6* Good options and able to customize. Silver, gold, crude etc. I like it. ### 5/5 — One of the few apps on my home screen *2017-05-31, version 3.2.6* I've had this app on my home screen for years... which tells you I actually use. Let's face it... we don't use most apps we download. I refer to it often. It's the gold standard of pricing. ### 5/5 — Great information *2017-05-14, version 3.2.6* Great information! ### 5/5 — D Kirby *2017-05-04, version 3.2.6* You have wealth of information at your fingertips and all you have to do is explore a bit and you'll be amazed. The app is very reliable, comprehensive and easy to use. I've used similar apps but none even come close to Kitco for my needs! ### 5/5 — Great for what it is *2017-05-03, version 3.2.6* Great app for general information. Does not go into depth on company names but gives you a clear view of the current trends. ### 5/5 — Good quick reliable info *2017-04-23, version 3.2.6* Since 2008 I've used the app to track the market price of metals. Excellent site for that purpose. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very frustrating *2022-10-07, version 3.2.7* I upgraded to the new system and lost everything I had saved in the old version and now I can’t find anything No help - now I have to go somewhere else to ### 1/5 — The update to this app is terrible *2022-06-26, version 3.2.7* I have an apple 12 pro max, and every time I go to open this app it asks me to update to the new version of the app, which you literally have to do just to be able to open the app. I’m moving on ### 1/5 — Too Many Pop Up Ads - Charge $2 and do away with ads *2018-07-31, version 3.2.6* Guys. Don’t be lame. Offer a $2 - $2.99 option to completely do away with ads. You are so Google ad hungry you let it destroy the user experience with advertisement pop ups that are so bad they freeze my IPhone X. Get sharp. Offer a $2.99 upgrade option that completely does away with advertisements altogether and have your app be less ghetto. You have a feature rich app that is a standard. But you let it become a goofy mess. Get on the ball... charge $2- $2.99 upgrade option and turn off all the pop ups from newsfeed stories - pop ups of any kind, advertisements turned off... it will beat out your Google ad revenue - and make you look more professional when you are trying to be a bullion company as well. It’s out of control. Deleting your app. When you get smart I’ll be back with my $2-$2.99 and so would Many others. I’ve offered you 2 cents worth a hundred grand +, so wake your developers up from their lazy nap and have a meeting about this. ### 1/5 — Black screens *2018-02-20, version 3.2.6* I can’t use this app for more than 5 minutes before the black screen and the crash. I’ve written too many times about this problem and all I get back is that the provider can’t find any problems!!! The app has only gotten worse over time. It’s an insult to try to participate in this app. It’s a huge waste of time. ### 1/5 — Ads are too much! *2017-06-23, version 3.2.6* Ads take over the entire screen in the middle of reading...then a video will pop up and auto play with sound even when phone is on mute. Not much left you could do to make this app more annoying! ### 2/5 — Auto play video crashed unreadable news *2018-06-01, version 3.2.6* Every time I try to read news some video in the news try's to auto play but doesn't and closes. I DONT Want any video just want to read news i did not select kitco video news ### 2/5 — When it works it's great *2017-04-26, version 3.2.6* Never had an app that just wouldn't work as much as this one (won't refresh just spins or freezes). Finally getting rid of it. Found plenty of others that function better. ### 2/5 — Horrible UI *2016-03-31, version 3.2.6* It's amazing the people behind the metals market produce an app that is still stick in a four year old interface. Horrible UI. Bad design. No native support for any phone beyond the iPhone 4 sizes. ### 3/5 — It's okay, could be much better *2016-08-19, version 3.2.6* Mining companies need names, not just tickers. Metals have historical charts but companies do not. Oil gives a chart but just for the current session. Only a few companies can be added to the company list, and then sorted, because of an interface limitation. I hesitate to call it a bug, but it could be better. This review is for the iPhone version only, not iPad. ### 4/5 — Always accurate *2017-06-09, version 3.2.6* Simple and to the point ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-03-03, version 3.2.7* This app show real time prices as of the exact time you check the prices. I’ve never had a problem with app. My jeweler uses this app. He is the one that told me to get this. ### 5/5 — Metals tracking *2021-01-05, version 3.2.7* Absolutely wonderful app for tracking metals ### 5/5 — A garbage app with ads *2020-04-16, version 3.2.7* Crap just get your metal Prices off of yahoo finance ### 5/5 — Easy to use, simple and incredibly accurate market value guide *2020-03-09, version 3.2.7* I recommend going with the Plus paid version to illuminate ads, but the ads are not a big deal, however when you are in finance that’s not something you want to be interrupted with. Kcast is one of the most used evaluation apps out there. Pawn shops, jewelers and many other precious metal professionals use KCast. The best thing about this app is it’s main page (If you are like me and do not understand the stock market very well or how to read the graphs and charts) with this app and it’s main page , it is easy to understand, the main page has gold, silver, platinum, rhodium, palladium and copper right there so you don’t have to search. You can easily see what the value is on the most popular/common of the precious metals. In addition to all these featuresYou can also get forecast on what the value will be, and you can also watch the market trends of where it was, and in my opinion best of all, it updates so frequently every few minutes that you were always getting the value for right when you use it, Rather than some other apps which give you an old value from first thing in the morning instead of your afternoon values. I love it and I have been using it since 2010, and it is very user-friendly. In addition to all this, you can search the rest of the market by using the menu features. This is your pocket speculator, definitely worth its value if you get the paid version ### 5/5 — Gold market *2020-03-08, version 3.2.7* Good to keep up with the markets minute by minute. ### 5/5 — Go to spot for accurate/up to moment quotes *2018-12-31, version 3.2.6* Fast, always on. Three day view gives very useful snapshot. Sometimes have news not seen elsewhere. ### 5/5 — Awesome tool! *2018-08-28, version 3.2.6* Use this all the time. Very reliable and up to date. Would like to see a silver/gold ratio added. Thanks for this great app! ### 5/5 — 5 star review! *2018-05-17, version 3.2.6* Very timely and accurate listing of hundreds of precious metal mining stocks, readily available! ### 5/5 — 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. *2018-02-13, version 3.2.6* This app is nearly flawless. The only thing that’s missing is a 10 year history of precious metals. ### 5/5 — They fixed the ad problem *2017-12-22, version 3.2.6* This app performs flawlessly. I use it every day. Much better than the apps that charge you for everything. There is nothing that you won’t like. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
