### 2/5 — It’s ok BUT…

*2026-07-06, version 9.0*

If you want a stock chart app, this app does that - nice chart BUT

Once you build your list of stocks, it won’t sort, every stock you’re curious to check gets put in your list so your constantly cleaning out your list

If you just want to browser you stocks’ charts, every time you click on one of your items, you must backarrow to get to your next item.  That quickly becomes a pain in the azz.

There is a vertical line that lets you pursue one period in your chart but NO horizontal line to examine resistance lines.

In sum: this isn’t worth 20 bucks for a half-baked app.

### 2/5 — Incomplete Canadian ticker symbols

*2024-07-29, version 8.5*

For the price I would think there would be a complete list of TSX companies listed. Hard to track your portfolio when you can’t enter the stock symbol of a major company.

### 4/5 — Great Tool to Monitor Stocks

*2024-03-22*

I have in built to group various stocks by industry as well as my own own investment lists over various  sources like Schwab and Sofi. It is my go to list every morning and throughout the day from my iPad or iPhone.  However since I use it to monitor over 100 stocks it requires more than an older iPad. In my case I use the M1 iPad Air to get immediate performance in realtime to monitor the ticker symbols as they change including the directional momentum. The detail graphics on any stock is also very good to give various options to monitor RSI, Volume, and moving averages along with a list of recent articles.

### 4/5 — Great Tool to Monitor Stocks

*2022-10-10, version 7.2*

Great monitoring tool stays in sync on all devices

### 2/5 — Good, but problems

*2018-08-04, version 5.0*

Starteotreat, but often the edit option stays on “GO” and there’s no way to edit out some stocks in my list. Please fix this asap as I already had to redo my list.

### 5/5 — Stock Spy HD

*2018-01-04, version 4.8*

Fast, easy and accurate. An excellent source of news for all of my stock positions.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-10-10, version 4.5*

Not 100% perfect but very close. By far the best stock price and news aggregator app.

### 5/5 — Great news aggregator

*2017-06-23, version 4.4*

This is my go to for any news with my stocks. It aggregates data from so many different sources and feeds it to you in practically real time as soon as something publishes.

### 4/5 — Read it every day!

*2017-06-19, version 4.4*

Excellent app, it's my go to source for news and data on my retirement portfolio.  On rare occasions I have found the stock price is slow to update or freezes and I must reboot the app.  Still, I think it's the best web crawler out there and well worth the price.

### 5/5 — Nothing like it

*2017-05-22, version 4.3*

Changed the way I invest forever

### 5/5 — Excellent stock tracking App

*2017-05-16, version 4.3*

This is the BEST stock App that I have found

### 5/5 — great tool

*2017-04-26, version 4.2*

very good app. great information source. links useful stories to daily financial every day.

### 5/5 — Stock spy

*2017-04-18, version 4.3*

Very useful app providing real time quotes and information on companies.

### 5/5 — My favorite daily app for getting a read on the market!

*2017-01-30, version 4.1*

Latest version is awesome.  Works well, looks great on the 12.9 iPad Pro!  Great tool for getting a read on stocks you follow.  I use this app daily!  Developer works hard to bring great features all the time.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-01-24, version 4.1*

The best way at the end of the day to check up on stocks of interest and see the news that involves them.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-01-21, version 4.1*

This is a very good app, I can keep up to date with UK stocks, and others as well , well pleased with the performance Don

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2016-05-18, version 4.0*

This app works well on phone or pad and very useful for an instant check on one's own choice of Stocks.
Only flaw is that sometimes the values of the Stock shown on screen is out of sync with the graphs behind it, but that may be a matter of timing.
If trading in a particular Stock is very heavy then 5 and 30 mins candlestick chart are very good.

One useful improvement could be to make SMA and EMA marker lines clearer or thicker.

Well done.

### 1/5 — This app has gone to the dogs

*2023-07-28, version 7.8*

I used to use this app religiously and bought each separate version for my phone, iPad and Desktop (all at additional cost). 
It used to sync perfectly
It doesn’t anymore
The developers used to respond to any issues via email quickly. They don’t anymore.
Now nothing syncs and, even worse, historical inputs of certain shares are have gone missing or are wrong. 
I’ve tried removing the app and reinstalling but then the next problem rears its ugly head. If you’ve forgotten your password there doesn’t seem to be any logical way to retrieve or renew it. 
I’m bitterly disappointed and angry about how this once awesome app, has completely gone to the dogs.

### 1/5 — Keep Wanting To Like It

*2017-11-22, version 4.7*

I keep wanting to like this app.  It has a nice layout and I can sort stocks into groups.  However, the adding, moving and deleting of stocks is very very buggy.  Quite often the back button disappears or the done button is displayed out of view.  You have to change orientation to get it to show.  Quite often I have to force quite the app and start it again.  This would be a nice app if it wasn't so buggy.

### 1/5 — App crashes in iOS 7

*2015-11-23, version 3.6*

The app used to work great prior to 11/23/15, however,  after the last so called "Bug Fixes" update, the App crashes on startup in iOS 7, very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2015-07-08, version 3.0*

I purchased the app to follow current stocks etc and the latest updates when viewable were from 2013. Most of the windows were blank screens, asking me to touch to highlight but to no avail. Nothing. Perhaps it'll work in the future with an update but as of right now, a TOTAL WASTE of $22. DO NOT BUY.

### 1/5 — Keep throwing exception and exiting

*2014-11-04, version 3.0*

Can not use it for 10 minutes

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2014-10-03, version 3.0*

I've kept this app through a few upgrades and have been disappointed each time.
Issues:
* Stability on iOS 8 is woeful
* No volume data
* Data quality is debatable
* Chart display is inflexible
Not recommended.  Better to choose an app from your broker.  It has a better chance.

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2014-06-06, version 2.6*

Stopped working after update.
Developer is non-responsive.  Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2013-05-11, version 2.0*

Very hard to use, crashes out all the time, even though called UK does not seem able to connect to any news or financial data. Would be difficult to make this app harder to use

### 1/5 — Not helpful for me

*2013-03-06, version 1.8*

Should have read more about the details. I wanted a program that would sync my portfolio between my apple devices. This won't even let me create my portfolio at all. Read details carefully folks.

### 1/5 — objectional feature

*2013-02-05, version 1.8*

Ties in with Facebook without telling you at the start.  This is a misleading and objectional feature of this app.  I don't like that kind of attitude of any developer of any app.

### 5/5 — great tool

*2026-07-23, version 9.0*

Great app. I use on all my devices. Very happy with all the features. I have used it daily for years . Thank You.

### 5/5 — The best app to track one’s investments I have found, period.

*2026-04-07, version 8.9*

I have tried using many financial apps to follow my retirement investments and savings. This is by far the easiest, most consistent across my devices, and the most logical, unlike Yahoo finance, which I find inconsistent between my computer and my tablet. I use it every day. Kudos to the creators. I hope they keep it up-to-date for many years to come. The only feature that makes it not totally perfect for me is the inability to have an investment listed under more than one group listing. For example, if I were to have APPL in both Schwab and Vanguard groupings, there isn’t any way to do that. No, it is not a dealbreaker for me, but I’d love to see that in a future update. Otherwise this app is perfect.

### 5/5 — Found My “Lost Stock App” AGAIN!

*2024-08-23, version 8.8*

Why did I ever lose it? Carelessness! 

Its Great - features, current valuable info, et cetera!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-08-03, version 8.5*

It’s a great way to keep up with what with my stocks, you guy should add options as well that would be fantastic

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-07-30*

It is my go to stock app throughout the day.

### 5/5 — I use it regularly

*2024-05-12*

The best on I have found over the years

### 5/5 — One stop shopping

*2022-09-09, version 6.9*

One stop shopping

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2022-09-08, version 6.9*

Makes following stocks and reading news articles easy

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-05-15, version 5.7*

A great, bug free app which just keeps getting better and better.  I wouldn’t trade without it!

### 5/5 — Mr. John F Borthwick

*2019-04-13, version 5.7*

It provides me with valuable information before I buy or sell stock in companies I have a special interest.
