### 2/5 — Not very flexible

*2020-12-03*

Nice simple display but not very flexible. One can choose from a limited number of items to display.  Can only display in alphabetical order.  Short time frame graphics like one or five days not available.  Must pay to see even initial data.  Better programs available with more flexibility.  Good start but could be much better.

### 1/5 — Dairy

*2020-10-19*

You need to add milk prices to make it worthwhile

### 1/5 — Don’t install this app!!

*2020-05-15*

It requires you to pay before showing anything, even its main basic features. When you do, you’ll discover that there’s at least 1000 apps out there better than this one.

I WANT A REFUND !!

### 1/5 — Commodities

*2020-03-16*

Your prices lag too much. I like current up to date commodity prices.

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2020-02-06*

Price is always off, Even after update. Look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2019-11-16*

It’s labeled “free with in app purchase” but it’s a free trial and no good in 7 days.

### 1/5 — Garbage application

*2019-03-05*

This application is a joke.  Complete garbage.  It is not updated in real time, so you have no idea what the true commodity values are for the day.  I put four apps side by side and this one is by far the worst.  It was a complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Not working right

*2019-01-25*

Every time I check prices on this site they are not up to date - want out

### 1/5 — saturday morning

*2018-05-18*

I go to check the prices on Saturday morning and they haven’t been updated.
wheat up 20c and your site only showing yesterday’s price.
Can’t it automatically update as it happens?

### 1/5 — SGC

*2018-04-24*

You have to pay to see any market pricing for most commodities.  So once you load it it only shows you a few commodities but when you click on something like coal it prompts you to subscribe.  Rip off.

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2016-10-07*

Passa a imagem de ser Free e no primeiro click já quer cobrar mensalidade

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2025-05-23*

Nem ao menos consegui utilizar o aplicativo pois pediu pagamento antes mesmo de abrir o aplicativo então eu nem sei como ele funciona normalmente utilizo o aplicativo pra ver se compensa pagar

### 1/5 — Not Recomended

*2022-07-22*

Subscriptions are a rip-off, and 35€ for “lifetime” is way to much for it's limited functions. 
The prices that are in the discription are NOT what the app truly charges.
Values of Commodities are in US$ only.
Graph is useless.
There are free websites that do much more and are much better, don't waste your money.

### 1/5 — Subscription for Free information

*2022-06-18*

Gold price charts are free online, why would I want to pay a subscription for this information.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2022-02-22*

Limited charting, price updating is very delayed and behind real time price.

### 1/5 — Downloads but won't work on an Intel Mac Pro

*2022-01-20*

I downloaded it to my MacPro Intel running Monterey 12.1 but trying to launch is just met with an alert that the app quit unexpectedly. I suppose you can call it “quit." Except, I never saw it run for a tenth of a second.

### 1/5 — no good

*2021-10-17*

all this does is immediately say your subscription has expired, pay to renew. i didn’t bother. that’s a false prospectus in my opinion. 

would give zero stars if i could.

### 1/5 — Does not work on M1 macs

*2021-08-19*

It would be a very useful paid app right now if updated.  Adding widgets would be great as well.  Looking for live data feeds.

### 1/5 — No Answer from Support

*2021-03-30*

Graphs only show 3 month view on both Mac OS and ios. Options for other settings Don't work.

Gold price only appears to update once a day.

Support haven't responded or acknowledged my request for help - Now over 2 weeks ago

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2021-02-16*

I tried to purchase the lifetime and annual subscription amd both times i was charged but the app did not unlock, and continues to ask me to subscribe. I would download for the trial period but stay away from purchasing. No idea if i will be refunded my 12.99 and 5.99.

### 1/5 — Бесполезное приложение

*2020-10-30*

1. Котировки в приложении обновляютс крайне редко, думаю примерно раз  в день.
2. График максиально показывает диапазон в 24 месяца (2 года).
3. На графике невозможно понять в какой момент времени какая цена была на сырье, т.е. пропадает вся возможность провести аналитику.

При этом так как подписка, деньги вернуть нельзя. 

Либо нужно сделать обновление котировок live time и возможность смотреть график за всё время. Либо это просто мусорно приложение которое не стоит потраченых на него денег.

### 5/5 — excelente

*2021-06-09*

:)

### 5/5 — Widget Issue

*2021-06-08*

Had this app for some time and worked well. 4 Stars.
Used a 6 tile widget for commodities i was interested in.
Recieved the latest upgrade today and only offers 1, 2 or 4 tile widget. What happened?
I have iPhone 11, ios14.6
Rated too1 Star until this issue is resolved
Any help or advice appreciated.

### 5/5 — How to add a commodity

*2020-02-26*

Awhile back I tried the free trial version of this app. At that time one of the commodities listed was the  “Raw Milk” price. 
Since I’m now a lifetime subscriber I would like to include this commodity as part of my app. I would be glad to swap “Lumber” for “Raw Milk”.
I am in daily contact with a large Dairy Farmer and would like this information at my fingertips.
Best Regards

### 5/5 — Shows me what I want to look up. Great App.

*2019-05-22*

Awesome!

### 5/5 — Well Done

*2019-02-12*

Perfect for tracking simple commodity prices!

### 5/5 — Silver

*2019-01-27*

Why isn’t Silver displayed?

### 4/5 — One of the best

*2020-04-08*

I refer to this app often and it gives me the latest quick view of things in which I am interested.

### 4/5 — Very simple & useful

*2017-05-26*

I look at it every day!

### 3/5 — Free to download only 10 day trail

*2016-06-17*

This is the best app I can find for copper prices but disappointing it's 8 dollars after the free trial someone needs to come out with a free app for copper.

### 2/5 — No bitcoin

*2022-01-18*

Very disappointed they did not include bitcoin/crypto.
