I also enjoy using the Watchlists, which allow me to peek into the day ahead. I’m less excited about the AI generated single stock coverage, which tells me nothing I can’t tell by looking at the Ticker. Why bother with it? ### 4/5 — Rename watchlist feature broken *2026-07-14, version 7.14.1* Whenever I typed, it would act automatically save and flash, even can’t continue typing… very annoying. ### 3/5 — Be more clear on dates of the DATES AND TIMES of reporting times of stocks in recorded list. *2026-07-03, version 7.14.1* But pretty darn good!! ### 3/5 — Subscription doesn’t work on IPhone App *2026-05-20, version 7.14.1* After paying for a subscription, the app always wants you to login with the user ID and password. Doesn’t seem to work well on an iPhone. ### 3/5 — Decent *2026-05-13, version 7.14.1* I generally like the app. Most articles are written well. Some are useful. I find them much better than others. My main complaint is that the app doesn’t allow for a Dark Mode. In this day and age, not having a Dark Mode is surprising. ### 4/5 — ENABLE DARK MODE *2026-04-12, version 7.14.1* Too bright for night time reading ### 3/5 — Jack *2026-03-24, version 7.14.0* Way too many pop up advertisements for subscribers. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-02-27, version 7.14.0* Has a ton of notifications ### 5/5 — I was at the Mercedes dealership *2026-02-24, version 7.13.3* I met a very thoughtful person at Mercedes who recommended MarketWatch his son had graduated from Yale and was making $375,000 a year. When I was talking to him, he said I took making money very seriously at a young age. He’s going to Cal Polytechnic. I thought he was a very nice person from then on the sort. It was a golden touch.. He was 81 years old and he was having his 450 Mercedes worked on for a broken window. When I drove down Gene Autry Dr. I was amazed to see how many nice homes that were in a very nice residential area and nobody was happy about Arnold Schwarzenegger. That’s good news. I was having my 450s Mercedes and an annual check up. When I drove down Gene Autry Dr. I was amazed to see how many nice homes that were in a very nice residential area and nobody was happy about Arnold Schwarzenegger. That’s good news. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why do we have to subscribe? *2026-08-25, version 7.14.3* Subscription clickbait ### 1/5 — No deep linking to articles *2026-08-18, version 7.14.3* When I click on a link in the iPhone email, it forces a redirect from Safari to the app but does not open the specific article ### 1/5 — Email open to app issue *2026-08-11, version 7.14.3* Typically really enjoy MarketWatch but the request for a rate came as I am having trouble opening through email and it jumping over to the app and while the app opens the specific article does not ### 1/5 — Poor journalism *2026-06-05, version 7.14.1* Always always has a negative lean against Trump and Republicans and their economy. There’s a way you can print the news then there’s a way you can slant it and these people do it constantly to the left. They suck. It’s no secret that Rupert Murdoch and Trump have issues with each other. The same thing is existing with Bloomberg News. I’m 81 years old and where I’ve watched this country go, it’s just plain sad. Thank God and I thank him every day for Donald Trump. And I cringe at the thought of the Democratic socialist communist organization eventually taking this country back. I hope by then I will be gone. ### 1/5 — False Advertising *2026-04-02, version 7.14.1* I subscribed to MarketWatch under the pretense that I would be charged $3.99/month for the first 12 months of my subscription and then subsequently charged $19.99/month following the 12 month period. I resubscribed and was charged $19.99 and there is no customer service or information provided. This behavior is predatory and false advertising. ### 1/5 — Complicada de usar *2026-03-29, version 7.14.1* Complicada de Usar ### 1/5 — I Hate the Wall Street Journal *2026-03-18, version 7.14.0* Totally communist editorial and non-business news. Also, they tease you with part of an article then ask you to pay an exorbitant fee for a subscription. Are you kidding me? ### 1/5 — Poor journalism *2026-03-18, version 7.14.0* Always always has a negative lean against Trump and Republicans and their economy.

Used google to open my account. Paid for the market watch/barrons subscription. Tried opening article.. they won’t open. Tried to set my watch list won’t work. Tried to email customer service recieved an error message! I have screen shots… I want a refund! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-07-31, version 7.14.1* Finanzas ### 5/5 — MarketWatch 2026 *2026-07-13, version 7.14.1* I use MarketWatch for the most up to date news regarding the markets.
