Used to be able to use tool to sort by multi year return vs category above or below, etc seems like it is being dumbed down. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2025-10-29, version 3.15.2* App. has gotten very buggy and can’t rely on it anymore. Too bad because it used to be good. ### 2/5 — Not totally useless *2025-07-29, version 3.15.1* It’s ok for articles and videos ### 1/5 — Constant reinstalls, portfolio feature unreliable *2025-06-25, version 3.15.0* I pretty much have to delete and reinstall this app on a daily basis. Mutual fund prices on the portfolio feature often revert to prices from two or three days previous; stock price info is relatively OK. This app continues to get worse with each revision. ### 1/5 — Glitching App *2025-06-12, version 3.15.0* Unable to login into the app. Just started a trial and am able to login with my password on phone and desktop, but the login feature for the app keeps saying wrong info then freezing up. If this is not resolved before my trial window ends I will be taking my business elsewhere. Not impressed! ### 1/5 — Why the horizontal view on iPad!? *2025-06-10, version 3.15.0* It’s 2025. Join the rest of the readable apps. Deleted 5 seconds after this review. Bye. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-06-06, version 3.15.0* This is a terrible app. I have a subscription that works fine on the website, but the app doesn’t allow me to login at all. App only works in landscape orientation like it’s still 2010. It’s like they spent a whopping $2 on the iPad app design. ### 4/5 — Login *2025-06-03, version 3.15.0* I miss the ability to get immediate distributions when I tap on a fund. ### 1/5 — Poor iPad app *2025-04-24, version 3.14.0* This is pretty poor iPad add not sure it is making in to this competitive market ### 2/5 — Difficult to use on ipad *2025-04-18, version 3.14.0* It refuses to show higher value data I pay for on ipad. ### 1/5 — premium membership not conveyed *2025-03-28, version 3.14.0* i paid for a one year premium membership that works great on my other devices, but this app insists that i need to ‘upgrade to premium’ to unlock some of the features. frustrating. ### 1/5 — My premium membership won’t get activated *2025-03-21, version 3.14.0* As some reviewers already noted, my premium membership won’t get activated and this app keeps asking me to purchase another premium membership. I deleted this app and logged in several times, but it hasn’t improved…. ### 4/5 — Metrics *2025-02-16, version 3.14.0* Why can’t the metrics available on the website all be available on the app? ### 1/5 — Can’t login on iPad mini *2025-02-11, version 3.14.0* Can’t even login on my iPad despite having an investor subscription and being able to log on on desktop. ### 1/5 — No stars! Still won’t log in premium users! *2025-02-05, version 3.13.0* I caution everyone not to buy an upgrade if you want to use this app. You have to use a browser if you want to log in. ### 1/5 — premium membership not conveyed *2025-02-02, version 3.13.0* i paid for a one year premium membership that works great on my other devices, but this app insists that i need to ‘upgrade to premium’ to unlock some of the features. frustrating. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-12-14, version 3.13.0* New iPad using Morningstar app. Website wants me to update to premium which I already have. Won’t provide fair value. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible UI *2026-08-15, version 3.15.2* You’d expect when paying for yearly subscriptions that the app would be useful. This is a terrible app ### 1/5 — Still a failure of programming on the iPad app. *2026-06-19, version 3.15.2* The app fails to update my portfolio on a nightly basis, so it might show my S&P 500 fund down one percent, when it actually went up one percent. I’ve gone back and forth with their tech support for months, and they seem clueless on finding the issue. I’m using an iPad. It shows up correctly on my iPhone, and on the web site itself. I’ve pointed all this out, but the Morningstar techs either can’t figure it out, or just don’t care. ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2026-05-27, version 3.15.2* No matter what, every time I try to login to my account via the app, I get the error that my credentials aren’t valid yet I can successfully login to the Morningstar website. Clicking the “App Support”button in the App Store takes you to the nonexistent website socialize.morningstar.com/feedback/feedbackform.asp ### 1/5 — Terrible App- 0 stars *2026-05-13, version 3.15.2* This app just doesn’t work. Did not recognize my credentials and no way to even try correcting them. Deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Peggy’s Watchlist *2026-02-02, version 3.15.2* Doesn’t allow me to enter my own watchlists. I see no option to add my watchlists!! What am I missing? ### 1/5 — Can’t login with Morningstar account *2025-11-09, version 3.15.2* I can connect my account on my phone with Morningstar Investor, but this app for iPad says credentials don’t match. ### 1/5 — Unable to access my account *2025-11-08, version 3.15.2* I have an active subscription, but when using the iPad version it does not allow logins. Multiple prompts for use,name password and then signin optionis displayed again. Fortunately the web version still works. Hope they can fix this. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t recognize my premium subscription *2025-09-11, version 3.15.2* I have a premium subscription. When I sign in on my iPhone, iPad (through the browser), or my computer…no problems. This app doesn’t allow me to see premium features. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-09-04, version 3.15.2* All login attempts fail. Checked login info by logging into Morningstar via browser and my credentials are correct, issue lies with the app. ### 1/5 — Bug in the app *2025-08-23, version 3.15.1* I can’t log in in the app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Morningstar best source of equity and bond research *2026-01-14, version 3.15.2* The best investment guide ever ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-09-14, version 3.15.2* I find MS to be the best financial investment support tool. ### 5/5 — Appreciative *2025-01-13, version 3.13.0* Love the simplicity and thoroughness ### 5/5 — Great App: *2024-12-06, version 3.12.0* Able to track my stocks and funds daily. Morningstar commentary and articles can be very informative. ### 5/5 — Investor *2024-10-07, version 3.11.0* Just signed up trying to access ### 5/5 — The Significance of Knowing The Real Moats and Risk to Reward *2024-08-21, version 3.10.1* I can only suggest the use of MorningStar in putting together true MONEY MATH Risk to Reward when it comes to getting greater returns. ### 5/5 — Necessary for the informed investor *2023-12-29, version 3.10.0* If your going to place your hard earned cash into a market you need a trained guide to avoid unnecessary surprises, Morningstar provides this necessary guidance. ### 5/5 — Morningstar for iPad *2022-01-27, version 3.6.0* The app will not open on a new mini iPad gen 5. When trying to open the screens says “something went wrong”. I removed and downloaded the app for iPad 10 times. Won’t work. Works fine on wife’s regular iPad. Is the problem the iPad or the app? ### 5/5 — Worthless *2021-07-22, version 3.3.0* App requires to sign in every time you use it. It was represented that this was only required every six hours. That was a lie. App was fine before changes. Now worthless. ### 5/5 — Worthless After Update *2021-07-19, version 3.2.0* Prior to a recent update this app was great. Since the update I am no longer to able to edit transactions. Also it now requires a sign in before each use. Review update: The latest version has restored my ability to edit transactions. It is a great app and would be worth 5 stars if I didn’t need to login so often. Review update: The latest version will not open at all. Why was it necessary to take something that worked fine and completely screw it up? Review update: I deleted the app and reinstalled it. It now seems to work perfectly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
