No data on any symbols ### 5/5 — Great Screen *2025-06-04* Great App ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-03-22, version 2.0.0* This app borders on a scam and should be removed from the App Store immediately. ### 5/5 — Global network *2022-09-27* My business account ### 1/5 — Shallow and Pedantic *2022-07-18* I’m not paying a subscription so that I can check out the maximum pain chart. App is aesthetically awful. Developers need to go back to the drawing board. ### 1/5 — Requires membership *2022-02-17* Basically need a membership to do anything, the membership itself is overpriced IMO ### 1/5 — Does nothing without subscription *2021-06-18* Cannot even test out the features properly, because every single thing you click takes you straight to the subscription. No way to see what sort of information or charts you will get with 90% of the features. No way to properly evaluate what you are going to buy. ### 1/5 — Nothing is free! Don’t waste time downloading this app! *2021-05-22, version 2.0.0* Tried to open a simple Stock Chain. Nothing is free! Tried to open a simple Stock’s Option Greeks. Nothing is free! Nothing is free!

Nothing is free! ### 1/5 — Greedy developers demand monthly subscription *2021-05-20* Even basic information, such as the current week's max pain chart, is inaccessible without a pricey subscription. I suspect the developers have miscalculated the elasticity of demand for their app. ### 1/5 — Free version was useless *2021-05-19* I downloaded free version to find the Max Pain value for my stock. Free version did NOT give me current Max pain value as the app kept prompting for upgrade version. I deleted app after one minute .
