### 5/5 — Dependable

*2026-08-12*

Always has important information

### 2/5 — App no longer works like it did

*2026-07-28*

When I first started using app it showed rankings and recs and one day it stopped showing them. Please fix this and I will change my review to 5 stars

### 2/5 — DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO BAD?

*2026-05-19*

Deeply disappointed in this app. Love Motley Fool in general but this app stinks. I was trying to add a stock to my portfolio through the app but could not make it happen. Online instructions via Google were simply wrong (which is true for 98% of queries regarding apps). The app is so bad that I think it’s a negative mark for the company. They need to do better. There is no excuse for a sucky app in 2026. Shame.

**Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We’re sorry you ran into trouble and would love to help. Please reach out to mobileapp@fool.com so we can look into this further.

### 1/5 — Does not work for premium subscribers in Canada

*2026-05-17, version 3.9.2*

Please update for your Canadian customers

### 1/5 — Eddyeagle

*2026-04-01, version 3.9.1*

Does not support Canada App

### 1/5 — BEWARE!

*2026-03-25*

This app automatic renews at $200! You cannot end your subscription using the app, you have to go to their website. When you finally do find where you can cancel period under layers of links and after they try to prevent you from canceling, by using nearly 10 attempts to prevent you, finally you can cancel.  I should have read the reviews, Stay Away!

**Developer response:** Oof! That’s not the Foolish experience we aim for. 😬 We’d love to help make it right—feel free to contact us at mobileapp@fool.com so we can dig in.

### 1/5 — Should not be available on CA appstore

*2026-03-13, version 3.9.0*

In March 2026, this app listing does not make clear that Motley Fool Canada accounts are not supported, first indication is after installing and entering login email.  Please remove from Canadian appstore, or support your Canadian users properly.

### 2/5 — Bare minimum & Clunky

*2026-02-22*

I love Motley Fool… don’t love their app. The app is basically a concession, like they have to have one because it’s the 21st century and everyone has one, but it’s bare minimum and clunky. There’s little effort to move subscription services to the app, or to be able to add stock purchases to your portfolio. The app is essentially a newsfeed. 

I do like that you can access the Fool podcasts in one, easy to find place. But the embedded player isnt user friendly and lacks basic controls. 

So, it’s convenient to access Motley Fool article for stocks you follow, but not much else.

**Developer response:** We’ve listened—and fixed it! 🚀 The problem you encountered should be a thing of the past. Let us know how the new version treats you!

### 5/5 — Getting rich isn’t that hard.

*2026-02-11*

You don’t have to be a professional investor to secure your future or even get rich. You just need the right guidance. The Motley Fool has the tools to learn how it all works, or you can just invest in their stock recommendations. Either way, you’ll make more than the average market growth. I’ve been using their service for years.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your support! 🌟 It’s great to hear you’re having a positive experience. Stay tuned for more updates and features!

### 3/5 — Awful App

*2026-02-10*

This app is flaming hot garbage. So hard to use. Hard to navigate. The info is good, but dang, this app is an easy 15 years behind in interface and technology. Going to stick with the website.

**Developer response:** We appreciate the honest feedback. 💡 If you’re open to it, drop us a line at mobileapp@fool.com—we’d love to learn more and see how we can improve.
