This is my original review a few years back: "Very useful app to track stocks, news and do research. Well designed!" But now it constantly crashes shortly after opening. Have to do 3 or 4 times before it stays open. Don't know what has happened, it's too bad.
Reviews for MarketWatch
Marketwatch is a good source for checking up on your stocks and seeing what's happening in the market. I find it to be of no use at all with their articles because they're so conflicting. one day you will read positive stories about issues and then the next day you read just the opposite. It doesn't give you directions and that's disappointing.
Subscribed but app often ignores this and so I cannot access articles until I sign in to WSJ, Marketwatch and Barrons individually. Occasionally signing in works across different. Pretty poor quality tech and not sure anyone from the app reads these reviews so probably won't change ;)
Subscribed with WS Journal's bundle. Content ok. I use it in conjunction with other sources. But app is very buggy. Shuts down, doesn't start up, glitches. Been a problem for months. Really, this is a basic programming issue. Please fix. Also - along with WSJ and Barron's - it CONSTANTLY asks me to reinput my username and password. Every few days. Why. Very tedious.
This app is terrible. A few times a week, I have to restore my subscription. I just tried to create a watchlist and keep getting a message that says the items can't be added at this time. As of 6/11, every article I click on says error loading content. Update I attempted to contact customer service. It's just a chat bot. I'm still stuck having to restore my subscription. Update 9/30/23 The restore purchase option is no longer working.
No longer about the market or economy. It seems to be solely focused on politics now. If I wanted that I would download CNN or Fox. The app has no more value. That being said, I get random duplicate notifications from the app, their notifications are always later than my other finance apps, and the app currently only displays the 10 stories at the bottom rather than the normal page that goes through today's top stories.
I've been using this app for a long time and across different platforms. It worked good. Lately, it started to act weird and at the end I cannot open it anymore on my phone. I did try to reinstall but still something is not right. Although, Windows version is working fine. Removed it from the phone for now.
Updated/Reiterated to 1 "star" due to slowness as of 10/2022... Previous review below. Updated to one star (1/2022), because it is so slow, sometimes it just hangs and never actually opens. Continously logs out. Very annoying. The idea and layout are great otherwise. There could be more real news and less automated news, those stock price movements are not real news. I've had it, now on the lookout for another app to track my stocks, even could be my brokerage account.
When I tried to register, it keeps saying my email address have been used, which isn't. Once I registered using a different email, I noticed the UI is difficult to use and navigate. There are so many layers it becomes ridiculous. It has a psychic feature that allows the app to predict market events before it happens. It appears the authors are paid to write one sided news!
It used to work, but since the last update it will not open now. Very frustrating I've tried many things. Will have to delete it. Update: tried loading it again. I can get it to open now, but it won't load any of my stored funds. it just says there's an error in to email them. Update 6-24-19 it opens now, but the watchlist still does not work. what a shame.
