### 4/5 — Performance Issues

*2026-08-23, version 10.6.0*

1. Custom views - when you make a change like adding a new column , the same custom view does show up in other portfolios. Poor QA testing 
2. Overall Slower performance 
3. From the home page when you click on Portfolio, nothing happens. I have to click multiple times on Portfolio for the list to pop-up
4 while rolling out new features please do proper testing 
5. No easier way to provide feedback from the Seeking Alpha mobile app
6. IPad version seems to have more issues

### 5/5 — Quite useful

*2026-08-22, version 10.6.0*

I use some other stock apps, but SA is my favorite.  I enjoy the articles and find them useful.  I find it fairly intuitive and easy to use.  The ratings are great for a Quick Look.  I do feel that the service is too expensive for most retail investors.

### 5/5 — Ease of use

*2026-08-19, version 10.5.0*

I enjoy how straightforward and rather easy SA is for new investors and someone with minimal tech skills/experience. I just set up my holdings and the stocks I’m  interested queue them up and hit play and one after another I can listen to all the information I care to get.

### 1/5 — Don’t Subscribe!!!

*2026-08-18, version 10.5.0*

Seeking Alpha is absolutely full of ads, up-sells, and required “on boarding” that requires you to sign up for newsletters and other services. I am furious that I paid $300 for a service that I can’t use due to the ads.

### 5/5 — Business Owner

*2026-08-15, version 10.5.0*

Amazing product!

### 1/5 — It’s an Israeli company

*2026-08-13, version 10.5.0*

Not based in New York.

### 5/5 — languages change

*2026-08-08*

Why the language can’t change to Chinese in iPad, but it can in iPhone

### 2/5 — Portfolio grouping broken

*2026-08-06, version 10.5.0*

The list of stocks and ETFs in my portfolio is not appearing in the order I had set.  This stopped working recently.  When I edit the portfolio and delete stocks, they still appear after pressing the done button.  The order I selected no longer saves.  The chat support is broken, too.  This used to be a great app.  Please fix these serious bugs.

### 1/5 — 25% increase to $300

*2026-08-05, version 10.5.0*

Happy with the site for years, but can’t justify that kind of rate increase.

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2026-08-04, version 10.5.0*

I can say enough, 
how satisfied I am with seeking Alpha. Keep it up.
