### 2/5 — AIS

*2026-08-07, version 7.25*

Many symbols don’t chart there prices (AIS and GRAL).  Charts often only show data through previous day.

### 2/5 — Confused

*2026-07-23, version 7.22*

I can’t determine what services I’m signed up for. Can’t find online information about my accounts. 
I just want to reset back to the original account I’ve subscribed to for years. I’ve tried to cancel unwanted subscriptions but you make it very hard to accomplish.

### 4/5 — Great stock picks but notifications are confusing

*2026-07-08, version 7.22*

Love the picks but the buys and sells are not clear sometimes.

### 2/5 — Charting Issues

*2026-05-28, version 7.21.1*

The Charts are being displayed incorrectly, with the right bar on every timeframe ALWAYS filling the entire vertical space after a second or so making the chart unreadable. Please fix that error asap!

### 2/5 — No notifications or resolution from customer service

*2025-12-03*

They can’t get either email or app notifications to work for me and are unable to solve the problem or explain in any way what the problem is - bizarre. It went on for many months and ultimately I had to cancel subscription.

### 2/5 — No notifications or resolution from customer service

*2025-10-03, version 7.11.1*

They can’t get either email or app notifications to work for me and are unable to solve the problem or explain in any way what the problem is - bizarre.

### 3/5 — Comments

*2025-07-05, version 7.11*

Leaderboard seems to have outperformed the broad market. But it is hard to track its performance relative to $spx. It would be good if they maintained a table that showed daily, monthly, quarterly and annual performance relative to $spx.

### 4/5 — Leaderboard need to adjust for iPad not just iPhone

*2024-12-13, version 7.10.1*

It’s really awkward using the app on iPad. I only use the web version on my laptop

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2024-12-09, version 7.10.1*

Logging me out frequently and quickly

### 1/5 — Logs me out every few hours and charts are not mobile friendly

*2024-07-24*

I love Leaderboard and use it every day on my computer. But the mobile app is a big disappointment. It logs me out every few hours and there isn't an option to log in with face ID. I have to type in my email and password every time. Charts aren't easily navigatible as on the web version. I cannot even click on the individual bars to see the price range and the volume.

### 3/5 — Need growth estimates

*2024-06-24*

IBD 10 & IDB 50 are good, but we need more information on future growth estimates & cash levels & debt ratios

### 1/5 — App does not display full screen in IPAD

*2024-06-09, version 7.9.1*

Cannot fully use app when it doesn’t display full screen on ipad

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Charts having technical problems for months

*2026-08-13, version 7.25.1*

Charts are not showing accurate data. Ruins the whole purpose for having leaderboard

### 1/5 — Haven’t made any money

*2026-07-22, version 7.22*

If you keep timing the market with Leaderboard, I do not think it can beat Nasdaq and S&P consistently. Will probably make more money in regular investments in index funds and some good ETFs. I have not made any money with leaderboard except that I had big losses in couple of their stocks picks.

### 1/5 — Not what I’m looking for. At all

*2026-07-10*

I downloaded this app hoping to get some good bangers. Especially paying 70 dollars a month. I’m sorry but 70 dollars a month to look at your list of high cap stocks. I don’t know the app was worthless I couldn’t even set up a screener to see what’s looking good for the day. Literally all the information they give for 70 dollars a month is BS. You are much better off trading blind than with this app.

### 1/5 — Leaderboard charts do not render properly

*2026-06-17, version 7.21.1*

Due to Y-axis every chart looks like a cliff.  Hard to see details.

### 1/5 — Not Fit For Purpose

*2026-03-17*

IBD products are no longer fit for purpose as CAN SLIM investment tools using William O’Neil’s methodology.

### 1/5 — Dynamic font

*2025-11-22, version 7.11.1*

Please use iPhone’s dynamic font feature  for your app. The words are too small on my iPhone screen for me to see. It makes it extremely difficult for me. Please fix this.

Thanks

### 1/5 — Can’t see the charts

*2025-11-18, version 7.11.1*

I can’t see the charts when I look up a stock. It’s a disaster.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-11-09, version 7.11.1*

Bought the app and couldn’t get it to work on my IPad shockingly bad for IBD. Now I’m trying chase down a refund and cancellation…. Truly disappointing. If I could have skipped putting any stars I would have

### 1/5 — Login issues constantly

*2025-02-26, version 7.10.3*

Always login issues!! Terrible APP!

### 1/5 — App performs poorly

*2024-12-09, version 7.10.1*

And 90% of the content in Leaderboard app is also posted to the free articles on the IBD site. Content regularly doesn’t appear on the LeaderBoard app.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-07, version 7.25*

And rewarding! Financially and as an investor.

### 5/5 — Data

*2026-05-29, version 7.21.1*

Short straight to point information and data.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-11-01, version 7.11.1*

The guys at Investor’s Daily have hit a bunch of home runs with Leaderboard… this tool really is terrific, from the news highlights, to the stock selection, to the terrific chart markups that have been a hallmark of O’Neil companies for decades

### 5/5 — Mr

*2025-07-01*

I bought the app on Apple App Store. My subscription does not carry over to the desktop/laptop. I subscribe to IBD but the leaderboard subscription does not show up along with my other IBD subscriptions. Very weird. More weird is that I could not subscribe to leaderboard from my Mac. Selecting yearly subscription has no effect. Looks like a few things are broken and deployed without full testing.

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2024-10-10*

Is great it fits amazing with my options trading plan! It does my homework by just opening the app. I used to spend stressful hours doing research im glad they give free trials and im keeping my membership. They also very helpful with their couching of how to use the software in your advantage. The mobile app does need some extra love their notes doesn’t show on the charts like the ones on their website. I hope they are working on this. Either way I recommend trying it.

### 5/5 — it works

*2024-07-05*

been trading the leaderboard for a few weeks and so far the results have been really good. Gonna keep the sub if I’m still making cash💰💵💸

### 5/5 — Leaderboard and IBD-Digital

*2024-07-03*

Happy 4th of July!

Your professional commitment to providing top-notch financial advice and recommendations is greatly appreciated. By putting individual investors’ needs first, you consistently demonstrate remarkable integrity. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

### 5/5 — Please add dark mode to charts

*2024-06-15, version 7.9.1*

Great start by adding dark mode to app, but please also allow the option to make the charts dark as well

### 5/5 — Leaderboard

*2024-04-24*

I owe ny financial  success to my subscription to Leaderboard. I have learned a great deal over the years regarding patience, discipline  and the importance of understanding and analyzing the technical charts. 

I am disappointed that I have difficulty getting on to this site with my Apple iPhone.   The phone does not work like other apps. I always have to sign in, and sometimes it doesn't even let me sign in. 

I am hoping This issue can be fixed.

### 5/5 — Great advice makes trading a  little less stress full and give me more confidence

*2024-04-08, version 7.8.4*

Wonderful leadership and information
