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 ### 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. ### 3/5 — Overnight breaking news is terrible *2026-07-30, version 10.5.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Great option for advice and research *2026-07-16, version 10.5.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Why I like Seeking Alpa *2026-07-15, version 10.5.0* Best go to place for all around financial information and discussion. Built by professional investment professionals this continually evolving information sharing platform provides access as well as voice to every level of investment opinion. Hang around Seeking Alpha long enough and your portfolio performance will improve and you will have both more fun as a direct result of a better understanding of market dynamics, the principles of successful investing and the behaviors of the players, that’s you and me! ### 5/5 — News *2026-07-15, version 10.5.0* Need more specific and up to date info on my stocks ### 5/5 — Quant ratings *2026-07-10, version 10.5.0* The quant rating alone are worth the subscription ### 5/5 — 명불허전 *2026-07-06* 인베스팅닷컴 구독이 끝나면 시킹알파로 갈아탈 예정. 신중한 정보 전달, 직관적으로 파악할 수 있는 유익한 인터페이스 ### 5/5 — Good stuff! *2026-06-30, version 10.4.1* Seeking Alpha provides good, thoughtful analysis! ### 5/5 — One Stop Shop *2026-06-19, version 10.4.1* Great resource for various perspectives on a variety of timely topics backed with thoughtful analysis. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — It’s an Israeli company *2026-08-13, version 10.5.0* Not based in New York. ### 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. ### 1/5 — App crashes after 30 seconds *2026-07-26, version 10.5.0* Every time I launch the app it crashes 30 seconds later. Even after deleting and reinstalling. ### 1/5 — App is slow *2026-07-23, version 10.5.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Atrocious - App keeps “sticking” *2026-07-08, version 10.5.0* I’m a new premium subscriber. I’m trying to enter in details of my portfolio. It sits there stuck with each keystroke and the lag is ridiculous. Trying to get the Menu to respond is like go away and come back after a few mins. Whoever is in charge of this app should be taken to the back and dealt with. ### 1/5 — Censorship *2026-06-24, version 10.4.1* This site is loaded with extreme right wing types who are free to comment without being censored. Liberal points of view are highly censored. The home of racists, Christian Nationalists and other unsavory groups. ### 1/5 — Racist and discriminatory company *2026-06-24, version 10.4.1* Racist and discriminatory company that mistreats people of color. Wouldn’t recommend supporting their products. Mobile app is a shell of its site. Lotta spammy content. ### 1/5 — No more portfolio tracking *2026-06-22, version 10.4.1* The great portfolio tracking feature will no longer update without a subscription. It was the one thing that kept me coming back to SA. Was a subscriber for years until many of the articles became nothing but clickbait with little to no substantial value. Leo Nelisson was excellent but I couldn’t justify a $300/yr subscription for only one contributor that was of any value to me. Maybe things will change for the better in the future. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2026-06-12, version 10.4.1* Very little works now. Will not stay on the Portfolios tab, which is my preferred starting page. The customization page does not work and requires closing the app to exit. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Quite useful *2026-08-22, version 10.6.0* I use some other stock apps, but SA is my favorite. I enjoy the articles and find them useful. I find it fairly intuitive and easy to use. The ratings are great for a Quick Look. I do feel that the service is too expensive for most retail investors. ### 5/5 — Ease of use *2026-08-19, version 10.5.0* I enjoy how straightforward and rather easy SA is for new investors and someone with minimal tech skills/experience. I just set up my holdings and the stocks I’m interested queue them up and hit play and one after another I can listen to all the information I care to get. ### 5/5 — Business Owner *2026-08-15, version 10.5.0* Amazing product! ### 5/5 — languages change *2026-08-08* Why the language can’t change to Chinese in iPad, but it can in iPhone ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2026-08-04, version 10.5.0* I can say enough, how satisfied I am with seeking Alpha. Keep it up. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2026-08-03, version 10.5.0* I freaking love this app$!!!!! With the new features and relevant seminars you can’t ask for more! ### 5/5 — Great Analysis and articles *2026-07-31, version 10.5.0* This portal provides many articles of great depth and analysis from variety of authors. ### 5/5 — FOUND IT 😍 *2026-07-27, version 10.5.0* IT’S ALWAYS AN ASSET, PROFESSIONAL’S OPINIONS 😳😁🧐 ### 5/5 — Vijaypatel *2026-07-26, version 10.5.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Tremendous resource *2026-07-17, version 10.5.0* SA worth its wt in GOLD --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
