Like Ferrari or TSMC. Those are major and I don’t see why you wouldn’t have them ### 4/5 — I wish my hard work had a reward *2026-07-02, version 2.6.3* I do really like this app but I wish it was more like the GameStock app. It’s paper trading but with actual cash prizes. If MarketSim had actual rewards for doing good I’d feel more motivated. Overall, I enjoy the app. I just want my effort to have a reward so I use the other app mainly for my paper trading since it’s no capital risk either. ### 3/5 — Fix the money *2026-06-29, version 2.6.3* The money that you earn if you buy it should go down ### 3/5 — Could use a major update… *2026-06-13, version 2.6.3* The app itself is fine but they need to fix the UI… I cannot tell if I’m looking at my gains or the stock growth for the day. There should also be more features and add more information to the UI itself. ### 2/5 — Broken *2026-06-11, version 2.6.3* My app keeps on braking so annoying ☹️ ### 3/5 — It’s pretty good *2026-06-05, version 2.6.3* This is a great app but I feel it is missing features like trading what you buy also I dislike how everything is on a set course and not constantly changing like in real life. ### 4/5 — Great *2026-05-05, version 2.6.3* I am a kid that is learning how to use stocks with this game. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2026-03-31, version 2.6.3* I love it you can learn so many things ### 4/5 — Nice App *2026-03-02, version 2.6.3* Works in real time mostly. Does not allow you to see some publicly traded companies and some ETF’s are not listed. Love to be able to dabble in crypto and other foreign markets to see how investable they are before throwing away money. ### 4/5 — Add a long term growth tracker *2026-02-10, version 2.6.2* The app is very good and has most stocks that I want to purchase (90%) however only being able to see my stats for the day rather than the month or year is frustrating ### 4/5 — Review *2026-02-04, version 2.6.2* Overall really good, don’t have every stock though. ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-01-29, version 2.6.2* Great for beginners ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-01-24, version 2.6.2* Realistic ### 5/5 — Good but limited *2026-01-23, version 2.6.2* I like it a lot, please however add the following to truly make it a market sim, I have downloaded and deleted this off and on again for about 5 years because I got bored of just the one function, I pay to have adds removed because I believe this can be used as a great training tool, so if you would consider it, Adding - shorting with margin rates - trading on margin with margin calls feature if the stock rises above 30% on a short - options - futures - short term bonds - funds to invest in once an individual gets a certain portfolio size in the simulator ### 5/5 — 😁✅ *2026-01-19, version 2.6.2* I do enjoy using this app because I am too young to trade but this app was accurate and I time with the stock market ### 5/5 — Stock Simulator *2026-01-12, version 2.6.2* Simply the best! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolutely Terrible *2026-02-27, version 2.6.3* At first this game seemed relatively straightforward and somewhat realistic but then I’d came to the conclusion that there was an apparent scarce amount of stock brands and ETP’s. In addition, from a game perspective this fails to provide many quality of life features. These mentioned: limited progression, lack of stock brokers, and lack of market superiority. ### 1/5 — Worse Game *2025-12-24, version 2.6.1* It is bad and has lots of bugs also it has too many ads and doesn’t teach you anything don’t get it. If you’re seeing this great because they a going to delete my comment to keep there oh so good reviews ### 1/5 — Really Hard to Use *2025-07-13, version 2.6.1* Is really hard to use. Abismal app. Don’t use ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-06-23, version 2.6.1* Make it hard ### 1/5 — Pls sub to me *2025-05-07, version 2.6.1* Pls sub to kareemextra and follow me on tiktok plssss🙏🙏🙏😭 ### 1/5 — Malicious popups *2025-04-04, version 2.6.1* From the moment I started using this app I thought “Hmm, this looks like a lot of unsafe ads and popups”. shortly later I see threats being blocked on my internet. ### 1/5 — Crash *2025-03-17, version 2.6.1* Install the app and it would crash every time I opened it ### 1/5 — No instructions *2025-03-02, version 2.6.1* Ok I want to learn the stock market but this app gives you no instructions on how it works. I’d figured they would give you some sort of tutorial or walkthrough or something. I am very confused and I think I’ll be uninstalling because I cannot figure it out. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever *2025-01-06, version 2.6.1* I wouldn’t even call it a game. It is so horrible. I wish I just didn’t get it. It’s horrible. I hate everything and you also have to watch ads whenever you buy something. At least you get 10,000. at the beginning. ### 1/5 — Slow Server *2024-12-30, version 2.6.1* This app never updated the prices when the market open. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works good, but not updating prices *2026-08-16, version 2.6.3* I recently installed this, and so far works pretty well, but the prices haven’t changed for me, I was wondering how to fix that? ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-08-03, version 2.6.3* Awesome truly awesome ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-07-29, version 2.6.3* Yeah baby gorlllllll ### 5/5 — The prices haven’t went up…unless *2026-07-27, version 2.6.3* I been using this great stock up for 2 days. Maybe im just not patient enough, or there is just a bug. ### 5/5 — Great Sim Weird ads *2026-07-12, version 2.6.3* I got this game for my kid so he could learn more about the stock market since I’m a broker. The only thing I’d the ads are for Temu and they show some inappropriate images. That’s the only thing I think that is bad. ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-06-24, version 2.6.3* Dude this app is sick, you could have your kid do this before they actually start investing, and it helps a bunch. So I would totally recommend this to anyone that wants to start investing but doesn’t feel confident ### 5/5 — Stinky fart *2026-06-23, version 2.6.3* Great ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-06-22, version 2.6.3* Been using it for 4 years now. Learned so much ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-04-27, version 2.6.3* Maybe add bonds ### 5/5 — Great *2026-04-17, version 2.6.3* Great if your a kid trying to get a head start on stocks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
