### 4/5 — Steve

*2026-08-07, version 6.1.8*

Just don’t like waiting when an add pops up

### 4/5 — StockLight

*2026-07-02, version 6.1.8*

Great little app.

A big step up from following my shares via a spreadsheet.

Thanks

### 3/5 — Above average free portfolio tracking app

*2026-06-02, version 6.1.8*

The ease of use, ability to easily see dividend payouts and the annualised figures makes this an awesome app. The fact that so this is free is the cherry on the top. 

If stocks that have been sold out of could be hidden or removed from your stock list this would be a 5-star app. As it is you still get notifications of dividends for stocks you no longer own. Inaccurate and annoying!

It works very well but Its a little difficult to speak to some one when you need help

### 5/5 — Chief

*2025-10-13, version 6.1.8*

Hi

I make good use and find the app informative and well put together.

At times stocks don’t have their didend yield listed when such stocks are paying consistant dividends E.G. PFP.

### 1/5 — Too many pop ups

*2026-05-03, version 6.1.8*

Used to enjoy using this app everyday. Now frustrated with continued pop-ups asking to sign in to “secure portfolio”. Had enough and now deleting app and will look for another app that doesn’t ignore my choice not to sign in.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-04-29, version 6.1.8*

Paying subscription removes the ads but does not remove the ad banner from returning for a few seconds each time to go into main portfolio screen. 

Each time you go to the main page and start scrolling, you automatically return to start after the app realises you have premium thereby cancelling ad. 

This is the only app I have where the ad banner is not completely removed for premium customers but reappears and cancels after a second or two. Weird.

### 1/5 — Glitchy and inaccurate

*2025-11-10, version 6.1.8*

Paying subscription removes the ads but does not remove the ad banner from returning for a few seconds each time to go into main portfolio screen. 

Each time you go to the main page and start scrolling, you automatically return to start after the app realises you have premium thereby cancelling ad. 

This is the only app I have where the ad banner is not completely removed completely for premium customers but reappears and cancels after a second or two. Weird. 

And the calculations are often wrong especially with dividends. Just noticed today with RMD stock, dividend is not anywhere close to 6%, more like 0.6% but this app continues to show incorrect data. 

No point contacting developer, I’ve heard it before. One man band with no time to work on the app so the app will remain glitchy and inaccurate. A shame since it’s the nicest looking stock app out there, has a lot of potential to be the best but premium subscription or remove ad subscription is not worth it right now. Hopefully it’ll get fixed someday but don’t believe it will from what I hear

### 1/5 — Fake virus ads - disgraceful !!!!!!

*2025-10-28, version 6.1.8*

Fake virus ads — disgraceful !!!!!!

### 1/5 — Adds with Virus warnings!

*2025-10-22, version 6.1.8*

Have used the free version of this app for a while.  Ads have increased but now include fake virus adds?

### 1/5 — Removal of RocketLab from my portfolio

*2025-06-25, version 5.2.50*

Very annoyed you removed RKLB from my portfolio listing with StockLight. I alerted StockLight of this and they totally failed to rectify the problem.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste you time

*2025-02-14, version 5.2.20*

Once outstanding stock watcher destroyed by full screen random completely obnoxious ads

### 1/5 — Full page ads randomly appears while using.

*2024-09-18, version 5.1.2*

Full page ads randomly appears while using. Need to kill the app to get rid of them.

Use at your own risk.

### 1/5 — Difficult to use

*2024-08-27, version 5.1.2*

Too many pop up ads

### 1/5 — Stop the pop up for review

*2024-04-12, version 5.1.2*

Stop the pop up for review, it’s annoying forcing to constantly review this app

Great app, use daily. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great information

*2026-06-03, version 6.1.8*

Excellent program to follow our portfolios of stocks for Australian stocks.

### 5/5 — Handy ROI and Alerts features

*2026-04-22, version 6.1.8*

I like being able to see my ROI and daily % returns for both my holdings and my portfolio. Getting alerts for announcements and dividends is pretty handy also.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-15, version 6.1.8*

I know very little about stocks and shares but do have some investments on advice from others. This app does a great job of giving me basic, useful information on those investments. It is very easy to use and well designed. I have looked at other apps designed to do the same thing but found them clumsy, confusing and frustrating.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-02-05, version 6.1.8*

Good app

### 5/5 — Excellent app & great support

*2026-01-29, version 6.1.8*

An excellent stock-tracker app. Easily one of the best on the market. All the information you need, and nothing you don't. Intuitively designed and a pleasure to use. Any required support is prompt and helpful. Highly recommended. The premium version is even better.

### 5/5 — Screen

*2025-12-03, version 6.1.8*

Just opened up the app, wow What an upgrade to the screen, love it. App is quick n simple to use. Been using it for many years. 👍 Preston25
