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. ### 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! ### 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. ### 2/5 — Content Great, Delivery Awful *2025-12-08* The content in the app is amazing but the app itself is very frustrating. Nothing is intuitive. Links are always wrong. Content is difficult to find. I wish I had something better to say. **Developer response:** Thanks for being upfront with us! We’re sorry for the trouble you’ve run into. Our team is always working on improvements, so if you can, please reach out at mobileapp@fool.com with more details—and double-check that you’re on version 3.6.8. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2025-12-07* App crashes as soon as I login! **Developer response:** We appreciate you taking the time to share this and are sorry for the frustration it caused. The good news is our team has fixed the issue—updating to version 3.6.9 should take care of it. ### 1/5 — Recommendations often don’t show anything *2025-12-07* Under Stock Advisor -> Stock -> Recs. Click on “Read” against a recommendation. Often nothing shows up when accessing this from phone. Very inconsistent app. **Developer response:** We appreciate you taking the time to share this and are sorry for the frustration it caused. The good news is our team has fixed the issue—updating to version 3.6.9 should take care of it. ### 2/5 — Performance Issues *2025-12-06* Most articles do not open in app. I just signed up recently and so far I’m really unimpressed with the app experience. I hope they are placing priority on getting it right! **Developer response:** We appreciate you taking the time to share this and are sorry for the frustration it caused. The good news is our team has fixed the issue—updating to version 3.6.9 should take care of it. ### 2/5 — Great resources, poorly made and optimized app. *2025-12-05* This is a great community and a great resource to have but the app is very poorly made, crashes frequently or doesn’t show content when opening links or stocks, should use some of those Nvidia returns into investing on having a good working app for your clients, this has made me reconsider my membership, as I can’t access to all the content I want due to this app. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We’re sorry this wasn’t a great experience, but our team has you covered. Please update to version 3.6.9, where the issue should now be resolved. ### 2/5 — Invest in your app please! *2025-12-02* App is bad enough to be totally useless, especially for accessing premium content **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We’re sorry this wasn’t a great experience, but our team has you covered. Please update to version 3.6.9, where the issue should now be resolved. ### 1/5 — App is Junk *2025-12-01* The app is pretty much useless. Too glitchy. You click on an article to read and 90% of the time it just never shows opens up. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We’re sorry this wasn’t a great experience, but our team has you covered. Please update to version 3.6.9, where the issue should now be resolved. ### 2/5 — Great service. But app crashes *2025-11-24* The new update keeps crashing when looking at My services. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We’re sorry this wasn’t a great experience, but our team has you covered. Please update to version 3.6.9, where the issue should now be resolved. ### 2/5 — Cannot even open *2025-09-10* I am from China. I cannot even login now, with or without VPN. The login redirects to a webpage which I cannot open. Can’t believe all my subscription paid for nothing. The UI was terrible, looks like from some interns from 2013!! Please get a better team and fix your app. I’m not subscribing again!! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We’re sorry this wasn’t a great experience, but our team has you covered. Please update to version 3.6.9, where the issue should now be resolved. ### 4/5 — Good start but Ux could be better *2025-08-07* Very difficult to find old video content and something could be improved. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! 😊 We're so glad you’re enjoying the app. Your feedback helps us keep making it even better! ### 4/5 — Great way of delivering services *2025-07-23, version 3.6.3* I like the app a lot and the content even more. I have noticed recently that when I look at a stock chart 1) it defaults to the 5Y view and 2) when I try to switch to another view of the stock, 1D is the only option available in the list. It has been this way for a while but not always. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-07-22, version 3.6.3* App does not properly save stocks I’m following and is difficult to navigate (horrible UI). Gonna stick to the website! ### 2/5 — Crashes and Freezes Often *2025-07-10, version 3.6.3* Very unreliable. Love MF and am a long time subscriber but really hope they get this app working properly to compliment their amazing services. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Need a Working Canadian version *2026-02-04, version 3.7.0* We see that there has been no working version of this app to connect from Canada, so the least you could do from the Apple App Store is to warn clearly to not waste our time trying to login ### 1/5 — False advertisers *2026-02-03* I’ve used these guys over the years and I now realize i was duped by their completely ridiculous advertisements. They love to talk about all the companies they predicted would succeed with no mentions of the numerous dogs. They are true to their name though- total fools. **Developer response:** Appreciate you sharing your perspective—even if it’s a tough one. We take feedback seriously and always want to do better. For questions or concerns beyond the app, our team at mobileapp@fool.com can help direct you to the right place. ### 1/5 — Too Bad *2026-01-19* The Motley Fool is a great organization. It really is a shame their App doesn’t reflect it. **Developer response:** We appreciate your honesty and apologize for the inconvenience. Our team is always working to improve—feel free to share more details with us at mobileapp@fool.com. ### 1/5 — UR CHANGES IN APP *2025-12-15, version 3.6.8* Very frustrating to have this info at my fingertips only not to be able to open/read I am paying for services that I can’t use.Needs fixed asap. Ron. ### 1/5 — Needs Work *2025-12-09* Great at stock advice, terrible at app design and development. Please get another company to redesign this app so that it useful rather than aggravating. **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 — App keeps freezing *2025-12-09* App is slow and keeps freezing. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for sharing your experience—we’re sorry it didn’t go as expected.

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.

Stay tuned for more updates and features! ### 5/5 — Great app!

Each additional feature makes the app an even bigger delight to use. I use the app every day for information, insight and entertainment. **Developer response:** This warms our hearts. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Blinking Marvellous *2023-05-28, version 2.2.1* When those blinking eyes in the MF app blink back at me I know that I am in the right space to get out-of-space financial returns, with a long-term, level-headed mindset. In short, the app is easy to use, and useful. Fool on! ### 5/5 — Perfect way to catch up on MF news and tips *2023-05-26* This app was what I had been waiting on the Motley Fool to release. It makes it much easier to watch analyst videos and read articles. I also love the portfolio section where I can keep track of everything I own and it shows me news directly related to those stocks. ### 5/5 — Love it!!!! *2023-05-26* Been using their services for 3+ years now…… it’s definitely helped my portfolio and mindset on how the beat the market. Was pleasantly surprised to see an app version about a month ago by chance. Being in a food business, checking emails and desktop version of the sight could be cumbersome sometimes. Now with alerts throughout the day from the app it has simplified my investing goals. Fool on! ### 5/5 — Such a clean and intuitive interface! *2023-05-26* Title speaks for itself. This app is so clean and is a pleasure to use. Especially when paired with my Motley Fool services! ### 5/5 — Great timely advice. *2023-05-26* MF’s posts and articles help stay ahead of the investment curve. Worth every dollar. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
