Not what it advertised- no Intraday changes

From the description I thought the app could help me track and be alerted to relative intraday changes exceeding certain percentages, say once more than 3% or 5% from opening the moment it occurs.
The app cannot do that. It only gives end of day updates, which is rather useless to me.

Works

Not worth 50 annually but worth a small monthly fee.

Good job

Good job

Prices are not accurate or current

Downloaded this app and added several price alerts. Then I wanted to look at the actual current price of a given ETF and saw that the price wasn’t even close to the closing price. Checked this with all of the alerts and they all had the same problem. Also, when I went to create a watchlist, I couldn’t add my ETFs to the watchlist. I had even taken advantage of a reduced price with the pro product. What a waste. Cancelling my subscription.

“In app purchases” means it’s a paid app.

The in app purchases message is a bit deceiving, have to sign up to it first and then you get the message that you have to subscribe to use it. Yes it’s got a short free trial but one of those that will auto renew if you don’t disable it

Alerts Dont Always Work

The alerts don’t always work. I set an alert for $73 ( entry and-target) The current price is $78. Its alarming even though i set the alarm for a low price. Had the stock been $65 the alarm would work properly. This alarm doesn’t allow high and low target. Poor customer service as well.

Ok

Macht nur in kostenpflichtiger Pro Version Sinn

Waste of time create an account for alarm really?

Must verify email for an alarm? it’s less time consuming writing this review by a lot. Don’t waste your time

Not particularly impressed

The free version doesn't allow you to set any alerts, not even one. Additionally, you can't track stock tickers such as ^VIX.

free version useless

sign up process glitchy, can’t set any alerts without paying for subscription. Not sure it even works for Australian market. useless app

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We are changing our approach so free users will now be able to create some alarms to try. We support the Australian market. Let me know what was glitchy in the sign up, you can sign in with Apple in one click.

No response to email and chat unsupported

I’ve been a long time user of the free version, only track 2 stocks with a couple of alerts, and the app is pretty good. But there was a change in an update released sometime in Nov ‘24 that reduced number of ‘End of Day’ and ‘Real Time’ Alarms to zero. I didn’t know this at the time, and thought when the alarms weren’t showing the stock price, just 0.00, that there was a bug. So, sent a support email querying it but received no reply. 4 weeks later sent a follow up, but again no reply. Investigated further and found the change made reducing functionality in the free version. Can’t blame a developer for trying to increase paid customers, so I subscribed to the Pro version thinking this would solve my issue. NOPE! Deleted and reinstalled the app, recreated the Alarms, but each alarm created required me to restore the purchase. So, I reached by email and also their Chat Support, but again no response on either.
It doesn’t look like the app is being supported!
If you don’t support your app you can’t expect customers to stay or pay.
Cancelled and deleted!

Hi. Sorry to read this. We are here and it is supported. Im not sure why your support tickets did not go through. If you decide to try again, please use the Restore Purchase option from Account Settings to fix issue if your Pro upgrade has not been registered correct. Rgds, Martin Stock Alert

Rip off

Supposed to get a trial period and got immediately charged. Buyer beware!

APP excelente mas caro

Aplicativo simples mas eficiente, contudo é bastante CARO, estudem um valor vitalício

Response from developer

Thanks. We hope to so better for Brazil! Rgds Martin Stock Alert

Misleading- this is a paid app

You can’t do anything on the free version of this app, no alerts nothing. Just tries to sell you an overpriced subscription. Wasted time downloading just to delete straight away

And re the developers response, having a free 7 day trial does not stop it from being a paid app. It should be clear it is a paid app so that those looking just for free alerts don’t waste time downloading/signing up etc

Response from developer

There is a full 7 day free trial that gives you unlimited access to try the app and cancel if you do not want to pay for our service. Hope you will reconsider the review, as there is nothing misleading about our marketing on this. Rgds, Martin Stock Alert

Muito caro

Não obrigado! Muito caro.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback.

Does not provide Price Alerts for Australian equities!

I’ve just installed this app because it was the highest rated on the App Store, only to find that it does not actually provide immediate alerts on price movements of Australian Equities. it also does not display shares with values less than a cent which is quite useless in an Australian trading environment.

Response from developer

Hi. Thank you for your review. We will look into improving our service on the issues you mention. Hopefully it can make it more attractive in Australia! Rgds, Martin Stock Alert

works great, responsive author

prices were off so emailed the author, got a response immediately and it was fixed.

Missing CRYPTO!

This would have been perfect. However, if you’re here for crypto alerts, don’t waste your time. After my first 3 tickers weren’t even in their database I cancelled the free trial. Huge disappointment that they didn’t include it.

BTC maxis will be fine.

Response from developer

Please reach out to support@stockalertapp.com and let us know the crypto tickers you are missing. We support the major, can of course add more. Rgds, Martin Stock Alert

Hard to get started

About 5 min after downloading, I gave up. It required setting up an account and had all kinds of start up windows. Not worth it

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for the review. You are most welcome to reach out to us on support@stockalertapp.com with your input. We are always willing to optimize 😊 Rgds, Martin Stock Alert app

Pas ouf

Design de l’application moyen cottes limitées en nombre et en diversités de valeurs. Vraiment pas ouf pour une application semi payante

Response from developer
