Why do I have to pay now

This app was free now they want 35 bones :(

19.99 subscribing

Why are you charging the best part was that it was free. Accessible to anyone and everyone who wanted to learn. Why are you charging? For what reason? Did you sold your company?

Thanks

Thanks for making it paid only, I remember when it was free and cool.

Sub par

Interface is poor. Very little details. Not very useful for any trainer beyond a complete beginner and even then...

No longer the same

No longer the same.
Used to be a free app with zero need to subscribe ever. Now they charge a subscription fee. Boooo

Bad

It's not a good app, it does not work well and you can tell that it was made quickly with low quality

Now you have to pay

This app was barely any price action practice, but it was great for what it was.. until you start charging us for it!

“Most helpful review” written by amateur

I wanted to write this after seeing the “most helpful review” was actually a rant by a very immature and ignorant person. The review displayed an apparent and clear lack of understanding about markets and trading from this individual who wanted to know the “names” of these “stocks.”

They are misguided. Thinking more information, such as the name of the stock, will help them. If they’re going down that road they’re completely lost and at serious risk of ruin.

This game is a lot of fun. You don’t need to know the names of these securities to benefit from the tape reading exercise this game is. If you don’t understand that you need to stop and rethink what you’re doing.

Pay or no play

Used this sim for quite some time but now it will not allow playing unless I pay for it. I would gladly support ads instead of having to pay but that wasn’t even offered. So long!

Locked Me Out

Works okay. Lacks many features and like most of these trainers you are locked to one time frame (day). Used to be free but now entire app is locked behind subscription. Poltergeist is a better app than this one. Much more accurate as well.

Getting worse

After new update doesn’t turn into wide screen.

Response from developer

Hi - wide screen is available in the latest version. Please update when you get a chance. Thanks!

Devs are extremely greedy

This game is offline/singleplayer and used to be completely free, also it’s a game not an actual learning tool. It is completely randomized simulation you’re just supposed to guess from the candlesticks and patterns. Charging a subscription for an offline game is the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen.

good for technical analysis

honestly this game is harder than real life… its good for testing theories but until they add larger and smaller timeframes to trade it falls short, not to mention the charts are random and you cant actually see what your looking at fundamentally either. also the layout is goofy..ill find a good looking chart to trade, go for a long position and accidentally hit the “next stock” button instead of buy…tf lol

Not even gonna use anymore

Made it where you have to pay to use ,used to be free fun game could have made a separate app that you have to pay for that’s real simulator

Hideous

App description didn’t mention even the word subscription. Yes you install and need to subscribe before the app opens. Don’t know what happens you might be sold to south eastern country.

Bem realista

Eu gostei simula completamente vários cenários realistas

Worst App to Train

The app doesn’t give the stock names. They say the charts are pulled from the S&P500 but I highly doubt it. The price movement on these “stocks” are unrealistically from the US. You’ll get frustrated with this app the moment you see that it doesn’t show what you have learned from books and watching stocks price action in real time. If you think you’re good at trading because of this app, YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY in the stock market in real life trading. The developer needs to fix that problem if this app is for educational purposes, otherwise it is just for fun. THIS APP DOES NOT TEACH YOU TO TRADE BETTER. With that said, it will only confuse you and make you doubt of what really works. I’m going to try Stock Trainer instead and how it is but the best way to learn is watching the real time price action, not the moronic movements in these stocks (I don’t think all of them are stocks).

For real best stock sim

I’m just gonna rattle off things I like and don’t like:

Likes:
Quick to get started
No fluff
True Price action theory
Easiest to use
Specified purpose

Not liked as much:
Ads
Subscription price

Deeper review:
I don’t generally believe in a five star app if it’s just doing its job and not truly excelling, same with tipping on a pick up order when you haven’t even tasted the food or know if they made your order right.
But in comparison, this one excels compared to a lot of the other ones because it is so direct and specific with its intent - without holding you back using unnecessarily locked features, lengthy startups, etc.

The “not liked as much” list are a necessary part of this type of model for app development, unfortunately.
To their credit, the ads are short and can be skipped, and this subscription is more than fair compared to competition.

Feedback/ suggestions/ please implement:

A slider for the percentage to buy yourself would be real nice instead of chunked percentages by 25% increments.

I would like to see portfolio and positions data laid out across the top so that there is more space for the chart to fill in…

I would like onetime subscription fee, but I am considering the yearly ( right now only 10 for the year to remove ads). Other apps are charging 20 a month …

Thanks! I’m working on a paid version

Miss on a good idea

I’ll reiterate what others have said. The idea is really solid, on historical stocks price movements. you can try out some basic technical analysis ideas for swinging trading, but this just doesn’t prepare you for actual training because it’s too basic. You can’t set specific stop loss orders so you’re just gauging the price off of the closing price each day. Wish there were something like this with just a little more detail and intro day movements.

Handy and helpful but missing something

The something missing is the reality of buy or sell at the open of the next candle. The way this is set up is buy or sell in after hours.
Realistic in one way. I saw what I thought was a buy signal and it was the top for about 1000 taps of the next button until I pitched my phone across the room. Now I have a new phone but I’m done playing this game.
