I usually delete the App and reinstall to get it to work. ### 2/5 — Blank on market pulse page for several days *2026-08-06, version 6.7* Too many bugs remaining ### 4/5 — Simplicity *2026-07-22, version 6.7* Much improved after updates ### 3/5 — Industry group info *2026-07-21, version 6.7* Industry group info is a little confusing; where are the top stocks? And list of all stocks in the group. ### 3/5 — app makes you re-sign in *2026-07-04, version 6.6.2* For some reason this app makes you re-sign in every couple of days and doesn’t have an option for face id. Once running works well though although not sure it is worth the price compared to competitors like deepview ### 3/5 — Alerts *2026-06-23, version 6.6.2* So many errors on phone alerts ….. havnt learned your new system yet. Can’t find set alerts on main screen. I’m waiting to have full service think I’ll give you all two more weeks after following 60 years ### 2/5 — Not reliable *2026-06-11* As great as the desktop is, the app is highly unreliable. I’m unable to see my list or look up stocks. ### 3/5 — Buggy app *2026-06-05, version 6.6.1* The daily will hop to the weekly in some charts. This is true for Leaderboard and IBD Digital ### 2/5 — Nothing loads *2026-05-29, version 6.6.1* Main page and my list never loads. App has went down hill lately ### 2/5 — Leaves you wanting more. *2026-05-29, version 6.6.1* The app does not have chart patterns or stages. Given this is what I primarily use MarketSurge for to outperform the market, I find this app very ineffective. ### 3/5 — Alerts *2026-05-26, version 6.6.1* So many errors on phone alerts ….. havnt learned your new system yet. Can’t find set alerts on main screen. I’m waiting to have full service think I’ll give you all two more weeks after following 60 plus years ### 4/5 — Room for growth *2026-05-24, version 6.6.1* I use this tool daily. Wish it would allow me to enter an actual portfolio with my real time investments. Also, would be nice if it had more robust stock descriptions and financial data. I need to use 3 apps right now and should only need one. ### 3/5 — No alert sounds *2026-05-12, version 6.6* The app is okay, but in recent updates it no longer gives alerts sounds. Extremely important as I relied on it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-08-28, version 6.9* Bugs galore. All the time. ### 1/5 — Needs to catch up with web version *2026-08-14, version 6.8* It’s laggy, using different dataset therefore no consistency between app and web version ### 1/5 — Lists *2026-07-21, version 6.7* List never loads. I usually delete the App and reinstall to get it to work. ### 1/5 — Charts not showing *2026-06-20* Paid for 1 month trail and now no charts ### 1/5 — Alerts *2026-06-16, version 6.6.1* So many errors on phone alerts ….. havnt learned your new system yet. Can’t find set alerts on main screen. I’m waiting to have full service think I’ll give you all two more weeks after following 60 years ### 1/5 — Not loading data and lists *2026-06-10, version 6.6.1* When it works it’s great and useful but continues to have problems loading data, especially my lists. Have to often delete app and reinstall just to get to load. Very frustrating for the price. ### 1/5 — New Update renders app useless *2026-06-04, version 6.6.1* Stock ideas never loads unless I delete and reinstall the app. I’ve had to do this numerous times and the issue returns each time after a few uses. The “screens” tab has the same issue. There are so many other bugs also and this is just on the iPhone app version. And don’t get me going about the iPad version, wow that has completely been ruined. For $149.95 a month you would have to be a fool to accept these issues. ### 1/5 — Customer service terrible *2026-06-01, version 6.6.1* Had probably the worse customer service experience I’ve had anywhere. Purchased and was charged for the app through my phone and it didn’t work at all, reached out to them and after being on hold for awhile finally someone answered and said that I should have bought it from the site not the phone, and that’s why it didn’t work. I was like why would you bother selling it through the app then and they basically said it was my fault for not buying through the site. The product is good for screening stocks, which is important but everything else about it is terrible. ### 1/5 — No Customer Service *2026-04-30, version 6.5.5* Having issues with receiving the same alerts over and over. I set an alert for a stock at a certain price and every day I get an alert for it. I tried emailing customer service and got no response, reached out on twitter still no response. ### 1/5 — Disaster update *2026-04-29, version 6.5* iPad is awful to use Market surge on. The have destroyed the app. It’s been two months. Constantly crashes and you need to reload watchlist with indices no longer working from lists. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love It *2026-08-29, version 6.9* Great charting tool but I wish there were more features available for t mobile devices. ### 5/5 — Marketsmith for iPad is Boss *2026-08-10, version 6.7* MarketSurge for iPad is like having access to the old daily graph printed books that O’Neil published every week. It’s a great time saving screening tool that blows away the new MarketSurge desktop version. ### 5/5 — Amazing Information *2026-07-30, version 6.7* The website is extremely useful on so many levels which brings confidence in every single trade. ### 5/5 — Customer service *2026-07-28, version 6.7* Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-24, version 6.7* Very effective and professional- the best and worth every cent! ### 5/5 — King George *2026-06-12, version 6.6.1* Malfunctioning.. have to be deleted then re downloaded to work..😩 ### 5/5 — Great iPhone 5 Landscape charts *2026-06-05, version 6.6.1* Enuf said. A must have app for on the go. Landscape charts in iPhone 5 are great. ### 5/5 — Profitable *2026-05-10, version 6.5.5* At first I had some trouble with data loading but customer support resolved it. The program has made me more money than I could have imagined without it. Took me a while to learn but there are tons of videos on how to use it. It all pays off in the end. ### 5/5 — Customer service *2026-05-06, version 6.5.5* Keep it up! ### 5/5 — So worth it, mutual fund manager level data *2026-04-27, version 6.5* I used to struggle and now I am a better investor. 100% recommend. Daily stock recommendations. Alerts on you phone and smart watch. Custom alerts. Chart line drawing tools with line cross alert available. Blue dot hot stocks highlighted. Find the stocks that are outperforming the market with proprietary ratings. See if mutual funds are buying or selling. See what funds own the equity. Update 4/27/26 5-Star Review: MarketSurge is the Only Stock Charting Software I’ll Ever Use MarketSurge has completely transformed how I approach the stock market. It’s hands-down my favorite charting platform, and after testing just about every major tool out there, nothing else even comes close. What I love most is that it gives everyday investors the exact same depth of company information that a professional mutual fund manager relies on every day. You get comprehensive fundamental data, institutional ownership trends, earnings history, and proprietary ratings that feel like having Wall Street-level research right on your screen. No more piecing together bits from multiple sites—this is all in one place and incredibly well organized. The breakout charting feature is pure gold. I get instant alerts the moment a stock breaks out of classic chart patterns (cup-with-handle, double bottom, flat base, etc.), and the accuracy is uncanny. Combined with crystal-clear volume analysis and every technical indicator you could want—moving averages, Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD, relative strength, accumulation/distribution—you’re seeing the full picture of stock movement exactly the way Investors Business Daily teaches it. It’s like having IBD’s entire methodology built directly into the charts. Whether I’m scanning for new opportunities or managing existing positions, MarketSurge keeps me one step ahead. The alerts are timely, the visuals are clean and professional, and the speed is lightning-fast even when I’m running multiple watchlists. If you’re serious about technical analysis and want an edge that actually matters, stop settling for watered-down platforms. MarketSurge delivers the professional-grade tools and IBD-powered insights that turn good traders into consistently profitable ones. I can’t recommend it highly enough—10/10, and it’s now the only charting software I use.
