### 3/5 — Missing realtime movement

*2023-10-07, version 10.6*

Need more variety of equities and fixed income

### 2/5 — Barely decent app Smh

*2020-01-29, version 10.6*

I’d often have login complications, I’d be stopped out at unintended prices, and the variety of stocks, especially penny stocks, is subpar 

The only reason why I bother with this app is because, comparatively speaking, it’s the best

### 4/5 — Great Idea but misses the mark

*2019-12-18, version 10.6*

I wish I could give this app a 5 star review. Problems are in the following areas:
- App hasn’t been updated to include IPOs
- Creating new games / portfolios is not intuitive and difficult
- App doesn’t cache requests so if you lose internet connection while making a buy/sell, the app is useless
- Missing an index where you can track others’ performance (see if you’re beating your friends)

### 4/5 — Great game for newbies to the market

*2019-02-23, version 10.6*

I would recommend this game to any one who is/wants to learn about the stock market because it uses all the aspects of real trading with none of the risks of losing real money. The one problem is that when you by a stock before or after hours, your trade opens at what the stock opens at, not what you bought it at.

### 4/5 — Picture

*2018-11-12, version 10.6*

I can’t add a picture. Is there anyway I can???

### 4/5 — Change in outlook

*2018-05-23, version 10.6*

This is a great application.  I have one suggestion; make the daily p&l user modifiable to lifetime p&l.  

Having the only a daily p&l on every screen promotes and rewards fast daily activity.  a great many mistakes are made by traders focusing on daily traffic.  Daily churn seems exciting but it is a bad and usually destructive habit.

Having a lifetime P&L encourages long term investments and careful thought.

Please make this an option

### 3/5 — Missing features

*2018-03-27, version 10.6*

The overall format is intuitive to use and great as a learning tool. The greatest missing feature is the stats on all the securities--market cap, P/E, etc. This info is formatted into the app, but all the fields are blank

### 2/5 — FIX CRASH

*2018-01-04, version 10.6*

App crashes as soon as I open it. Please fix. Thanks

### 1/5 — Fail and I haven’t started using it

*2018-01-04, version 10.6*

I signed up to join six hours ago. I’m still waiting on my email confirmation. 

Not impressed

### 2/5 — Great idea, great connectivity, functionality needs some work

*2017-12-25, version 10.6*

I’ve had a wonderful time playing with and learning about the stock market via this app, however it keeps crashing within seconds of launch. Developers, what’s going on?

### 1/5 — No response

*2017-12-22, version 10.6*

Unable to receive confirmation email

### 1/5 — Crashes on startup

*2017-12-18, version 10.6*

Crashes on startup everytime. Please update for iOS 11.

### 1/5 — Used to be awesome

*2017-12-16, version 10.6*

This app used to be an awesome way to play around and get some experience on the stock market... until I couldn’t open the app. Customer service left me on read and refused to help, despite being very cordial.

### 1/5 — App had stopped working!!!

*2017-12-15, version 10.6*

Really annoyed I was enjoying the app

### 2/5 — Please fix

*2017-12-04, version 10.6*

This app is awesome for paper trading. It made me feel comfortable before stepping into the market for the first time. Now it just crashes after I open it every time.

### 2/5 — Good while it worked

*2017-12-02, version 10.6*

This app was very cool and educational until one day I tried opening the app and the app quit about 5 seconds after I opened it.  It has now been about 2 months and it has been doing the same thing. I am only giving it 2 stars because it is cool while it worked

### 3/5 — App crashes every time I try to open it

*2017-11-29, version 10.6*

I used to love this app, was super fun to use. But now all it does is crash.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Missing Support

*2020-05-15, version 10.6*

Looks like developers and support gave up on this app. It’s been months and there are tons of errors in tickers and other market variables. Unfortunate, used to love this thing.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-04-22, version 10.6*

Not getting email verification

### 1/5 — Crappy support

*2019-08-11, version 10.6*

Been two days and no one answers my emails. And there is not a darn thing I can do about it! If you need questions answered there is no one to help! I am so fed up with this darn app! What a shame! Had this app from the beginning and it has turned to crud! 😡😡🤬🤬😔

### 1/5 — Asswads

*2018-11-02, version 10.6*

Had to give an email address for a verification link. The verification link doesn’t work.... can’t click on it. My junk mail is now full of porn mail that is time stamped with the same time their email arrived in my inbox. These ppl should be arrested

### 1/5 — Unsble to get confirmation email.

*2018-09-19, version 10.6*

Unsble to get confirmation email.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work on iPhone 7

*2018-06-08, version 10.6*

App starts, Lets you sign up your account, after verifying your email, the login just fails with an error “something went wrong”

### 1/5 — Gone down hill

*2018-04-25, version 10.6*

I used to really enjoy this app. It was by far the best stock market simulator, the app has become out of date. The app is missing a ton of equities I would like to invest in. If the app was kept up to date i would give it a 5 star rating.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-04-13, version 10.6*

It logs out every single time I try to get in!

### 1/5 — 4 Months of BS!

*2018-03-09, version 10.6*

You must genuinely despise your users to have still not fixed the app crashing. I have been unable to open the app whatsoever for 4 months. I never review anything, but I felt like I had to say something. 

0/5, absolute garbage. A 4 year old must manage this app.

### 1/5 — Pass

*2018-01-16*

So many stocks and efts not even recognised. Made this worthless. Deleted.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Timeoff

*2019-06-19, version 10.6*

Great app. I use the app mostly to test stocks before I buy for real. It simulates the real market and gives me a better feel for how the stock trades as opposed to looking at a chart of past performance

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-05-04, version 10.6*

I’m surprised this app isn’t rated higher. A lot of people saying it crashes, which is something that’s never happened to me. The one problem I have is sometimes after a day or 2 my pending orders will vanish and I’ll have to reset them. Not a big deal but should be fixed. 

One big suggestion I have would be to have the option to see the leaderboard in absolute dollar amounts instead of only percentages. Since I started a couple years after many of the other users, I know I’ll probably never make it to the top 50 of the “All time high” board. But it would be nice to have the chance to occasionally be on the charts for the daily, monthly, or yearly charts. The problem is that the current system rewards taking huge risks that may payoff big in the short run, but will most likely tank your portfolio in the long run. Most of the people who get on the daily leaderboard for instance have much less money in their portfolio than they began with, but happen to have a huge daily gain on a percentage basis. It’s not that impressive to me if your portfolio is up 10% for the day but your portfolio worth is 1/10th of what you started at. You’re basically penalized for having a balanced portfolio that grows at a steady rate. 

I would also maybe make a rule that you need to make at least one trade a year to stay on the leaderboard. You can tell from looking at most of the All Time High user profiles that most of them picked some stocks a few years ago and basically forgot about the game. It seems like it would be more fair to only include people who are actively using the app, as opposed to those who played around with it for a couple days and then forgot about it.

### 5/5 — Awesome simulation

*2018-02-06, version 10.6*

Does a fantastic job of simulating real life investing and let’s you test trading strategies.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-10-26, version 10.6*

Love it I think you guys should implement an Apple Watch app that lets you view your different profiles and let’s you look at you watch list too if you could that would be awesome 😀👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Excellent! Amazing for beginners!

*2017-10-24, version 10.6*

I feel like Stockfuse is a little under-marketed, because this is a really good app, and the fact that it’s currently rated three stars is a shame. I started learning instantly and made half a million dollars
 so far! (Virtually, but if it was real I could’ve!)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-07-18, version 10.6*

Learning experience

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-06-24*

Has so many different portfolios available to learn day trading, hedge funds, starting small, etc! Really smooth and intuitive to use, and the members in the community are immediately supportive and knowledgable about trading stocks!

### 5/5 — Smooth and Sleek

*2017-06-22, version 10.6*

Great Running App. Easy to use and tons of info. Would be rad if one could manage a portfolio across global markets though!

### 5/5 — Best app

*2017-06-02, version 10.6*

This is the most realistic app around. It really let me learn and simulate my strategies.

### 5/5 — Best app of its kind!

*2017-05-31, version 10.6*

Definitely download and take advantage of this excellent app. There are so many tools and analytics that can truly help you learn how to invest better or practice some strategies you're too nervous to implement in your real stock portfolio. Download it and you too will be more than satisfied!
