### 4/5 — Would give it 5 full stars

*2025-08-08, version 3.38.0*

Great app to track your trades automatically. Only thing is that I need to keep updating my broker connections every few days manually. Other than that great app!!

### 4/5 — Amazing app but fails to sync a lot

*2025-07-08, version 3.38.0*

Overall amazing app, well organized and looks aesthetically pleasing, but fails to sync a lot. No sure if that’s under kinfos end or possibly the brokers end? Otherwise awesome app when you’re able to sync the trades

### 5/5 — Kinfo is needed in this community

*2024-10-18, version 3.36.0*

Nuff said -redcandles

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2024-10-06, version 3.36.0*

So far, so good! Very clean, very easy to use! I love the leaderboard aspect.. holds you accountable and make you want to be a better trader.

### 4/5 — Simplicity

*2024-08-16, version 3.36.0*

I absolutely adore this app. Easy to read charts. The profit and loss graph gives you an instant boost of confidence to achieve better trades. 👍🏿

### 3/5 — Broker

*2024-07-27, version 3.36.0*

App is good, simple and fast but please include Sierra charts and Amp futures.

### 3/5 — Fix UX

*2024-02-13, version 3.33.0*

I hope they have product analytics for this. The UX doesn’t prioritize the most valuable info

### 2/5 — Not worth $20/mo

*2024-01-11, version 3.31.0*

The app doesn’t display anything the current followers or leaders are in…it’s day later …not true social interaction…just aggregation of all wins from previous day

### 4/5 — Can’t link with my broker

*2023-07-08, version 3.29.0*

App looks cool but I use Wells Fargo as my broker. I don’t see a way to connect it. Help?

### 5/5 — TradeZero + Kinfo = AMAZING 🤩

*2023-03-11, version 3.28.0*

Wow, exactly the tool I needed. This makes performance reporting fun!

### 5/5 — Amazing tool for traders

*2023-02-28, version 3.22.1*

Nothing else really like it. I hope Karl continues to do an incredible job - and I will continue to recommend this app to fellow traders.

### 5/5 — Holds you accountable

*2023-01-04, version 3.22.1*

It puts all your trades past, present and future at your figure tips no matter when you signed up. Was eye opening realizing exactly why I was in the red and not as much as I thought I was but still red. That will change, I’m sure that I can see exactly when I should have cut losses and if I did back then I would still have my PnL ratio but would be green.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Update is available windows keep popping

*2025-09-17, version 3.38.0*

The window keeps popping and saying that update is available. Press ok to update. But nothing change after press ok. My trades do not sync after 28 Aug.

### 1/5 — Don’t believe the good reviews

*2024-10-16, version 3.36.0*

Everything’s locked behind a paywall. How hard is it to be able to journal trades.

And also asks for your info before showing you the app. Waste of time and identity thieves

### 1/5 — why so expensive?

*2024-10-12, version 3.36.0*

Not providing a necessary tool, anyone can just trade on paper or on trade simulator. 25 cad per month is crazy when I pay 15 for Trading view!! No student discount either nor free tools

### 1/5 — Misleading how is it thousands of brokers?

*2024-08-18, version 3.36.0*

Rhey advertise it links with thousands of brokers and then have a list of about 8 in the link broker setting.

Poor.

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2024-04-08, version 3.33.0*

Is a cool idea… but do not connect to the broker…. Try many times!!!

### 1/5 — Why not support Robinhood?

*2024-03-10, version 3.33.0*

Robinhood is like…the ONE brokerage that needs a trading journal because of how poorly they organize your history. This app seems pretty popular - why doesn’t it work with one of the most popular mobile brokers? Fix that and I’ll use it.

### 1/5 — No Robinhood:(

*2024-01-11, version 3.31.0*

No Robinhood

### 1/5 — Constant log outs and unavailability

*2023-01-28, version 3.22.1*

Keeps logging me out and being overall inaccessible. Not really worth the pro membership if I can’t use it.

### 1/5 — Does not sync daily

*2022-07-29, version 3.20.0*

I’ve had Kinfo for about 2 weeks now and it has yet to sync daily. I’ve connected my brokerage multiple times which works and then the next day nothing syncs. I’ve also tried contacting support 3 different ways and I have not heard back. Time for a new app.

### 1/5 — Can’t create account

*2022-02-04, version 3.16.0*

Can’t create account

### 5/5 — Great App for All Traders

*2025-12-23, version 3.38.0*

This app is great. The free tier is the best I have used on the market thus far. The price for pro is also very competitive. A must have for all traders.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-11-26, version 3.38.0*

Easy to use and helps keep track of trades. I like the multiple layouts it has too. Didn’t really know which app to choose and this one looked the most user friendly.

### 5/5 — The real deal

*2025-09-13, version 3.38.0*

There’s no hiding here either you are a good trader or not.

### 5/5 — Karl is the man

*2025-09-12, version 3.38.0*

I’ve been using Kinfo for years. The creator is truly a stand up guy, with a great mission.

### 5/5 — Best free Trade Journal

*2025-06-17*

Just recently discovered this app and amazed regarding all the features they provide even in the free tier

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-03-25, version 3.37.0*

I love the broker sync it is seamless and allows me to track all my trades. The trade leaderboard is a nice touch. This is exactly what I needed!

### 5/5 — Awesome Free App

*2025-03-16, version 3.37.0*

Great metrics! I also enjoy the look of the app #lalabunny33 #merch4traders #lifestyleofafemaletrader

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2025-02-06, version 3.36.0*

I tried few journals and I also made my own journal using google sheets. So far I am liking kinfo!  A lot of cool stats, interface is nice, import function.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-01-24, version 3.36.0*

Quick and easy to set up.  All the right data to track performance and easy-to-read layout.  Very pleased.

### 5/5 — It’s so organized.

*2024-12-23, version 3.36.0*

It is absolutely amazing. And I usually hesitate to pay for apps, even if I really need them, but I paid for pro and it is so worth it.
