Performance Issues

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

Quite useful

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.

Ease of use

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.

Don’t Subscribe!!!

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.

Business Owner

Amazing product!

It’s an Israeli company

Not based in New York.

languages change

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

Portfolio grouping broken

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.

25% increase to $300

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

Love it!!!

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

Amazing!!!

I freaking love this app$!!!!! With the new features and relevant seminars you can’t ask for more!

Great Analysis and articles

This portal provides many articles of great depth and analysis from variety of authors.

Overnight breaking news is terrible

I’ll check futures at night and they might be positive yet the Breaking News says stocks are gapping down. Or the futures might be negative and Breaking News says stocks are gapping up. Very rarely does Seeking Alpha get it right.

FOUND IT 😍

IT’S ALWAYS AN ASSET, PROFESSIONAL’S OPINIONS 😳😁🧐

App crashes after 30 seconds

Every time I launch the app it crashes 30 seconds later. Even after deleting and reinstalling.

This is perfect app for investment planning and trading in advanced.Thank you for being a part of this amazing team with such a great alert with incredible insights involved with great confidence to keep investing in this market.

App is slow

Very frustrating, I’ve been using this app for 7 years now, it just gets worse and worse each year, I have to force quit the app 3-5 times a day to get it to load correctly. Every article I click on takes 10-30 seconds to load on a iPhone 16 pro. Opening any images or PDF files they lock you into vertical position so it’s impossible to read most presentations in PDF with the tiny text. It’s almost unusable on phones. Need to look at this site in a browser.

Tremendous resource

SA worth its wt in GOLD

Great option for advice and research

Seeking Alpha is one of my go to’s. Whenever I am doing research of a stock this site is at the top of my list. I like the ranking, warnings, summaries and the competitors listed within the summary. I also review the recommendations. I maintain my own stock on the site. Will continue using this site. I’m new at this and it provides what I need.
