Post on message board

I don’t wanna have to set up or manage a yahoo account in order to be able to post on the message board. How can I still communicate without a yahoo account?

Putting ads at the top of your list makes this app pure garbage

Good job killing your app

Can’t view charts

Running 26.14.0 Yahoo F on iPad iOS 26.5.2 i can see the summary charts but can’t open the detailed charts. On INTC & BTC

Needs work to help users with bad vision, low vision

If you have bad vision or low vision, it needs work. Does not display things well on an iPhone if you have the font set higher. This was not an issue on android

H/L & 52 wk view nowscrewed up

Please fix the recent change to the iPad version. The high/low and 52 wk views cannot be seen without sliding the side menu over. Why is the stock symbol column so wide? Wasn’t this wide before and everything could be seen without sliding the side menu over. Please reduce the width!

Inconsistent Gains / Losses, not Syncing with Acorns

UPDATED 7/24/26: The app isn’t as stable as it used to be. If I look at any security that I own in my portfolio, the percentage of gain or loss for the day that is shown up top always differs from the percentage shown in the daily gain section, despite me not having bought or sold anything that day to cause any discrepancy. It’s so bad that one amount can be positive while the other can be even further in the negative direction. I’m flying blind as to how much I’m up or down in the market because nothing is consistent. Also, the app has been unable to sync with Acorns ever since the last update. It just times out over and over. The latest update made the app noticeably worse.

PREVIOUS REVIEW: The app encounters a technical error when attempting to link Public and Moomoo accounts. In the case of Public, after entering credentials it gets as far as requesting the 2FA code, but then goes to a technical error page instead of loading the page where you input the code. In the case of Moomoo, it goes straight to a technical error page, following a long wait, after entering credentials. This app has gotten gradually worse over the past 2 years or so.

Also, there is a glitch when it comes to updating sold and bought positions on Fidelity accounts. Positions sold and bought a day ago are still showing up the next day and being tracked as if they are still in the portfolio. I tried to unlink then relink Fidelity, but that didn’t fix the problem.

The Lag

Used to be a fantastic app, but the lag now is so bad. Especially at opening bell. I’ve reported, but no remedy. Many I’ve talked to say they experience the same. Additionally, the chats now are covered in spam while legitimate comments are flagged for the most confusing reasons. Sad, wish it could be like it used to.

Widgets can’t be configured

The app is useful but currently a bug prevents me from configuring the home screen widgets. It doesn’t allow me to select a ticker.

Censor

Yahoo comments are the worse. Anytime your critical of anything they block your comment.

Yahoo finance allowed my phone to duplicates and sent my info to Textron and Bombardier. The International association of machinist- human trafficking in the metaverse NIAR and beyond-Pentagone

The app has been destroyed by new updates. Data delayed. Not reliable anymore.

The app was a perfect source for timely reliable financial data which is not the case any more. Each update makes it slower and slower and data is not getting updated the way that the app was known for. Unfortunate to see as it is still the best finance app.

It’s a go to page for stocks and financial markets

It’s the most complete source of financial information

Linked Broker feature doesn’t work

Whenever I try to link my SoFi account it won’t show any of my positions. It used to.

Loyal customer

I have been satisfied with your format. Use it every day.

Excellent

Biased reporting

I enjoy the accurate tracking of what is actually happening but I don’t like it when writers assign reactions in the market to unsubstantiated causes. Leave the politics out of the speculation and stick to actual facts.

missing 3 column view

the 3 column view in the basic portfolio window was so nice. why did you remove it?
