Around holiday season last year my msn money app on iPad and iPhone keeps saying connection issue. Attempting to sign into my Microsoft acct results in as if I didn’t log in and continues to show network issue. My Microsoft word, excel, calendar, and outlook mail works just fine tho. I prefer msn money over Apple stock app, it’s disappointing issue with app on iOS system has not been resolved yet ### 3/5 — Fair *2023-06-02* It sometimes doesn’t have information available. Some stocks it doesn’t have up to date data available for days. The app is the only one where you can have stocks, commodities, etc all in one page. News reports of financial matters, news that helps personal finances and tools in one app makes it a cut above other apps out there. ### 4/5 — Visually simple sophistication. *2023-03-29* Financial markets information, as well as other financial data is presented in a simple manner that makes it very easy to read. This app includes some very useful tools. The inclusion of a Currency Converter and a Tip Calculator, are tools that prove to be real time savers, and are well suited for frequent use as the need arises. The personal finance features are very informative and helpful, unfortunately some do not fully fit inside an IPhone screen. News stories in text form, fail to fit inside an IPhone screen, making it very awkward to try to read them. News videos are always timely and relevant. ### 4/5 — Watchlist *2023-01-25, version 2.3.176* The watchlist feature is very useful. A few more items in the “Fundamentals” screen would be helpful. Also, it would be nice if the “Header” was stationary so it would not disappear while scrolling to the bottom. Mahalo ******* ### 2/5 — Poor and hard to read contrast *2023-01-12, version 2.3.176* When displaying stock charts (when clicking on individual stocks from our watch list) the graph axis numbers are very hard to read since they are a light gray font on a white background screen. I would suggest changing them to BLACK color and maybe even bolded black. (Also suggest review of other similar small fonts on other screens while you are at it.) ### 4/5 — Sporty feed. *2022-06-02, version 2.3.176* I love to browse through the articles before I go to work in morning. Seems to not always work though. ### 2/5 — Some tabs are not loading anymore *2022-05-24, version 2.3.176* The order of stock watch list always display in random order and not correct in landscape mode. I have to change it to portrait then back to landscape in order to display the screen correctly. Maybe it is not maintained. ### 3/5 — Too long to search in a watchlist! *2021-04-19, version 2.3.176* The simple solution would be to alphabetize the watchlist and save time in searching for what you’re looking for. Please make this change in your software. ### 3/5 — Good feature but Outdated *2020-12-27, version 2.3.176* The app is good the news section of finance and money, especially the calculator built into it. But my only feedback for Microsoft is to please update this app UI experience. This is the same UI from 2010’s and it needs to be updated from the outdated MSN to Microsoft’s universal language. ### 3/5 — Not sure what happened. *2020-12-11, version 2.3.176* This use to be the most friendliest, supportive app to track my money but the last 2 weeks it would freeze, 2 days worth of trading would be stuck. I deleted the app and re-uploaded it. No improvement ### 2/5 — Where’s the meat? *2020-10-13, version 2.3.176* For years a synopsis of why the markets did what provided a snapshot of some reasoning as to what happened during the day. That snapshot has disappeared. There is no news about today’s market developments under the “market” section. Just a little bit about nothing. Don’t know if this is because not one knows why at MSN Money or no one wants to take the time to provide something meaningful. ### 3/5 — Watchlist does not load all stocks *2020-10-09, version 2.3.176* I am just wondering developers do testing or not. For me watchlist never loads the stock more than one page. To load the scroll I have to click around in the app before more stocks get available in watchlist. Sometimes it never works. ### 2/5 — Frustrating trying to reorder watchlist *2020-08-26, version 2.3.176* One of the most important functions for me using this app is the watchlist, which allows the ability to rapidly look at data. Recently the ability to reorder the watch list has become very frustrating. Basically when to drag an item to a new location and hit “done” it does not move. In fact I spent three hours one day trying to reorder five new items. They basically would not change positions in the list. Someone might laugh at who would spend three hours doing the same thing over and over again when it didn’t work the first few times. Well I guess I call it persistence in case their server wasn’t working, etc. Have tried for several days now. It does not work. If keeping a watchlist is important to you and you plan the reorder after adding new items, don’t use this app. There are many other options that work better than this app. ### 3/5 — Good app needs balanced content *2020-08-11, version 2.3.176* Technically nice app quick loading never crashes etc. Good programming. Content has gotten worse, if I just want to read CNN I can go to their mobile site or download their own app. Some balance in viewpoints would improve the experience ### 4/5 — Information is good *2020-05-31, version 2.3.176* I’ve tried a number of financial apps, I keep coming back to this app. It continue to provide information that’s current to the market and trends ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Technically Dysfunctional *2024-08-23* This app has so much more potential to assist orient people and their money. For the average person, the usage of this application can extend into various areas in one’s life. When the server is connected and accurate, one can develop a healthier financial lifestyle by analyzing the trends of the economy. I wish there was a way to make the platform more precise so that people will be able to understand more than just what the headlines of media presents. Narrative streamed information can be harmful for the youth and beginners as they become less aware and less interested in more local matters that should be of higher importance to them. The money converter is an excellent tool that will need improvement in the near future. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2024-06-02* This isn’t so much a review as much as it is a notice: it looks like the MSN Money function has been rolled into the Microsoft Start app. This app is still showing news articles from summer 2023, so it’s clear that this app is no longer being updated or used. Just wished Microsoft had sent out a formal notice saying the app will be sunset. If you’re trying to get the functionality of this app, Microsoft Start will be your best bet. Delete this app as it looks to be obsolete. ### 1/5 — Suddenly stop working for past several months *2024-05-16* I use to be able to view my watch list from msn money app on my window laptop and iPad. Around holiday season last year my msn money app on iPad and iPhone keeps saying connection issue. Attempting to sign into my Microsoft acct results in as if I didn’t log in and continues to show network issue. My Microsoft word, excel, calendar, and outlook mail works just fine tho. I prefer msn money over Apple stock app, it’s disappointing issue with app on iOS system has not been resolved yet ### 1/5 — Not working AGAIN! *2023-08-14* This app will not work and shows a Wi-Fi connection issue, when all other apps are working just fine with my Wi-Fi. When trying to look up a stock, it just freezes and will not fill. I have checked several days now and am giving up on using it going forward. I wish Microsoft would fix this app or delete it from their apps!!! ### 1/5 — Unstable keeps losing starred stocks *2023-06-27* This app is unstable, it gets unresponsive. Once you terminate it, it will ask if you want to merge. If you merge it does not load correctly so you wont be able to scroll correctly. In this state your only choice is to terminate it again. If you select discard on the pop up after termination it will simply delete all your favorite stocks. Not worth it, there are other stable stock apps. ### 1/5 — Broken, non working app *2022-07-11, version 2.3.176* Nothing working for days now except the tab that shows a few stocks and fund results. All other tabs / options pop up a notice about wi-fi not connected. Strange it works for every other app on my phone. Seldom need wi-fi anyway because most everybody has an unlimited data plan these days - every other app I have works just fine and switches between wi-fi and data seamlessly when needed. This is nothing more than Microsoft dropping the ball. I also notice the current version of MSN Money is 3 years old!!?? Looks like Microsoft just decided to abandon this app and not notify their users. Don’t waste your time installing it. Even when it was working it had reached the point where some of the stories and news stayed up for days without being replaced with anything newer. ### 1/5 — Problem with Company Profiles *2022-06-04, version 2.3.176* When are they going to fix this App so you can see the company information that used to appear in the “Profile” section ? ? ? I have sent several E-mails to MSNMoney about this problem over the last 30 days, but nothing has been done to fix this, and it’s very frustrating ! ! ! ### 1/5 — Same articles over and over *2021-11-10, version 2.3.176* People like money talk run the same despicable ads (they are not articles) over and over. One is “6 reasons I will never trust suzie orman”. This article comes out once a week with an updated date. Been that way for over a year. Honestly, why focus on one money guru? Why not attack the guys? Terrible app. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Crashes and won’t sync with MSN account *2021-02-12, version 2.3.176* App won’t sync with my MSN account watchlist. When I go to add items to the watchlist in the app, a dialogue box comes up saying that changes were made to my account when I was signed out (I’m signed in). The dialogue box asks if I want to merge the changes to my account. No matter what I press (merge changes or disregard), the app crashes and won’t load anymore. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled several times now and nothing changes. Watchlist won’t sync and crashes when you try to make a new one. Every time. ### 1/5 — Bugs have existed for some time that haven’t been addressed *2020-06-10, version 2.3.176* The app needs work, especially in the watchlist tab. One can no longer rearrange the list the save has no effect. Additionally, many times going into the details of the stock and then back out, the app will jump up the list instead of returning to the spot where you were...very annoying. Please fix. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My Internet connection *2023-09-08* You are telling me am not connected to the internet. I have an outlook account I have had for years no problems. I downloaded the app but I am having and issue with the app. My internet connection is excellent ### 5/5 — Best financial app *2023-05-30* This is the app I always used. When it went away because they stopped supporting it for some time I went through almost every other app trying to unsuccessfully replace it. MSN finally brought it back and I no longer have to keep trying to replace it with inferior apps. Please keep this app running. It’s the best financial app by a wide margin. ### 5/5 — Occasionally not available *2023-04-22* On rare occasions the app or parts of it are temporarily not available; but I consider this a minor inconvenience. Content always makes interesting and informative reads. Has everything I need in a financial app. ### 5/5 — When it works,it’s great *2022-08-27, version 2.3.176* A few times a year it will not update articles for a week or more. Reinstalling does nothing. Eventually it will work again. Some parts continue to work like the Market data. Otherwise the content is very good. ### 5/5 — Frustrated Forced stealth Profile Pic *2020-10-11, version 2.3.176* There is nothing more frustrating when you can’t accomplish a simple task on an app you really like. It will take all my info including bank cards and birthdate and thoughts on power moves with stocks. But no photo to show who did it :( come on man we all like our praise and chance to shine. Please help. Have a blessed day awesome app ### 5/5 — I need this app for financial news. *2020-04-03, version 2.3.176* Even though there are so many sources of news these days, whenever I want to know what’s likely to happen in the stock market before it opens, MSN has me covered. Otherwise, their new tends to be late when the stock market is too volatile for news to be handy. ### 5/5 — Great app keep the updates coming!!! *2020-02-27, version 2.3.176* You need to fixed the watch list not updating current stock numbers prices! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-09-16, version 2.3.176* I view this several times daily to get a general idea of what the markets are doing. Only question I have is why does it say “Markets Closed” when they are obviously open? ### 5/5 — Fast reference for Equities with interesting articles *2019-09-06, version 2.3.176* I have been using MSN Money for a few years and like the ease of viewing. I can add equities and funds to match portfolios. The news and articles are nice to have along with the market activitats es. ### 5/5 — Great quick reference *2019-07-17, version 2.3.176* I go to this app first thing each morning to get the latest market news and check my watch list. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
