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.

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 […]

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 πŸ˜‰

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

This app I’m sure works great if it did work πŸ™‚ I had to delete the all of the memory on the app because whenever I launched it, it would just infinitly load. You’ll have to log on the app in order to get in and then log in again to see your watchlist(sometimes). And […]

What has happened with this app?!!!!!! You can’t make changes to your watchlist. It glitches all the time. It seems like one set of tech engineers are on the WSJ app, which is excellent, and the B team has Marketwatch? You try to open up a notification and it just spins and spins. Won’t open […]

The website used to be a nice tool and responded quickly. Now, there are too many ads, and the quick graphs don’t work or update. The app has fewer quick graph options, but they work. If you pay for the subscription, why all the ads? I am looking for other options, though I have really […]

It’s alright. Sometimes it gets glitchy and I can’t log in. Also I don’t know what’s the limit for reading articles for free or the time frame for when that limit resets. Like is it 5 articles per month? Once you go over the limit though it’s really annoying you might as well stop using […]

Quick market data updates with interesting articles. Sometimes it seems like the articles are focused on Chicken Littles, “the sky is falling” and I’ve made some bad investment decisions because of this, but I realize the stock market is like the weather, even with all the investment broker opinions, it has a mind of its […]

Saw an article come up about a massive dip on a particular stock, so of course I rushed to go and buy but the dip hadn’t even happened yet and I ended up buying at a higher price! Not that it matters because I’m a collector and holder of this stock at any and all […]

I got the app for access to Barrons and while you can access most Barrons articles they don’t show up in any order. Also you have to continually go back to the start to pick another article to read. I expect I’m going to cancel the subscription. With the dow Jones company that process is […]

Since they removed the news features unless you pay, the app is only good for checking my watchlist, but half the time the watchlist doesn’t load, so what’s the point? They may have fixed some of that reliability recently, but it was broken for months. On top of that the information is just less complete […]

I don’t want to ruin their rating, but it was a waste of time for myself. I just wanted to track a few stocks, assets, and crypto. They don’t support crypto etc and i really don’t like signing in or signing up just to see the value of something. Some people might like your news, […]

For a ‘Market Watch’ app, it seems to be giving more political biased reporting than it should. I get random stories about non market things, which is not what I downloaded this app for. It has become nothing but a spam notification generating application. I wish the reporting was focused on the market, not tax […]
