### 1/5 — App always crashes

*2025-11-12, version 2.18.1*

App always crashes

### 4/5 — App Request

*2025-10-02*

The app overall is good. I’d just like the ability to tag my article saves like I can on a regular web browser on a PC.  Thanks

### 1/5 — Don’t save your password.

*2025-07-29*

My company requires rotating passwords. But once you save your password on this app, there’s no way to change it unless you reinstall your app. And when you start the app without reinstalling, it just tries your old password and locks you out.

**Developer response:** I apologize for the bad experience in the app JerryMag and I'd be happy to follow up to address your concern. Support is available 24/7/365 support.mi@spglobal.com

### 1/5 — Slow to load

App is very slow to load or never loads at all

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2025-02-24, version 2.15.1*

Terrible. Seldom works. And when it does, the UX is terrible. If this was a build instead of buy decision, it was a bad one.

### 1/5 — Constant crashes

*2024-08-28, version 2.14.1*

Not sure what's wrong with the APP, but it will always crashes after few seconds from opening.

Please investigate and fix your app

### 1/5 — Constantly Kicked Out

*2024-05-30, version 2.14*

The app is very slow and constantly crashing or logging me out. Very frustrating. When it works, it is good.

### 1/5 — Ux not great

ratings research is not accessible from home page, so poor service integration leads to convoluted navigation

### 1/5 — Want my RatingsDirect back

*2024-01-07, version 2.12.1*

Capital IQ Pro has too many features I don’t need. How can I get my traditional RatingsDirect app back? Thanks John

### 2/5 — Difficult to search news. No visuals

*2023-11-29, version 2.12*

It is quite difficult to find stories relevant to a specific sector or on a particular topic. In addition, there are no charts or pictures in the app as there are on the website which is a pity because there are some great data points in the news and research.

*2023-01-29, version 2.8.4*

Very cumbersome to access watchlists, doesn’t support split view, UI not optimized for additional screen space on iPad

### 1/5 — App is Slow and Buggy.

*2023-01-28*

Can’t listen to earnings calls. When hit earnings  call button it doesn’t launch on iOS app. 

App is slow and buggy. 

Needs an update.

### 1/5 — App never works

*2026-08-11*

9 out of 10 times the app doesn’t connect and just spins.   Between the apps and the general website usability……never before have people paid so much for content, yet been so disappointed with the user interface & reliability.

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2026-04-15, version 2.20.1*

To expensive and no free trial.  Or discounts for not institutionals

### 1/5 — Connectivity Issues

*2026-04-14*

The app rarely connects and often times finds itself in a constant reload loop. When it works it’s great for articles and live data. WHEN. Unfortunately, it works less than half the time. I have no issue with the website on my desktop. The app was meant to help me stay up-to-date while I was away from my desk, but this seems to be a far cry from the current reality.

### 1/5 — worst app, ever.
