Took it away

I used to love it, when it was simple, low ads, and simply worked. After they redid it, there’s way more ads, it reset half my portfolio despite me asking it not to, and the menu is not as simple as before. I’m disappointed.

Pretty nice

It’s a pretty good stock simulator that’s helped me learn more about stocks, while being pretty good for being free. The new update is really clean, and I like the changes with ordering and selling outside of the market time, which helps make it more realistic, while the new look of the app is also nice. Would recommend for someone new to stocks.

Old version was SOOOOO much better

The old version was simple, easy to navigate, read and displayed all the information needed on one screen. It fit well on an iPad form factor. This new version… is less straight forward, doesn’t fit on an iPad at all and requires more clicking to see information. I hate it. I wish I could get the old version back.
