Reviews for Seeking Alpha: News & Analysis

Your app (which has always been painfully slow), is now completely non-responsive. The buttons don't work, data is not loading, and the main display is blank. I've already reinstalled the app and restarted my device. Customer service over the phone blew me off... my subscription is up in October and this is probably the thing that pushes me over the edge into not renewing. Why no communication on this issue? This is my most expensive subscription, yet has the worst app I've ever used.

App works well, very informative and up to the minute. My main Issue is the nonstop notifications that WILL NOT go away! I disabled every single feature, including email, to try to stop the damn notifications from coming. It is ridiculous how difficult it is to stop those notices. Should be ONE button--disable alerts--thats it!! Had to cancel my premium subscription over it.

The navigation menu on the right only appears at tge home page. If you search a stock, search another stock, and another, you need to click back three times to the home page to navigate to something else. The back button behavior is weird...And, the app would not remember your last read position if you switch to another app and come back after a while.

Great app, easy to use, full of abundance of information and right to the point! Anyone not happy with this app is not using it properly or is not subscribed to the premium option. It's worth every penny and will make you a better advanced trader. My only complaint would prefer a dark screen option for desktop version. I hope it's in the works!

Worked great at first, but eventually got logged out or didn't sync. Tried to re-register via email, which provides a "button" to login, but you can't use it to get to or open the app. Now useless. Anything sent via email was only linking out to a browser. After uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, it finally provided the option to open via or via browser.

Great news and its helpful to get updates on stocks in your watch list. I am happy that I have it as a tool to use for my trading. The quant rating system is actually really accurate and if you don't know what to buy the quant algorithm is a good place to go...I made a paper portfolio of only yop quant rated stocks to see how well they actually did. It has the highest return out of all the portfolios made! This was (5) months ago too!! It is kind of expensive that's why it has four stars.

I really thought this would be useful. I've tried several times to give this app a shot while trialing the free version. But it quickly became obvious that the functionality was so drastically reduced (unless you pay to upgrade), that the app is truly USELESS. Every request to read an article is responded to with "sorry, you've exceeded your limit. There are far too many excellent tools available to me that I'll no longer waste my time with the app or even glance at any Seeking Alpha articles.

I would have previously given this app 5 starts as I have enjoyed it for years; however, as other reviewers have noted, the 5 free article limit per month is a laughable "free version" of the app. This app is not worth installing on your phone unless you are prepared to spend $300+ per year; for the vast number of users I would suspect that this cost is not worth the service. I truly hope Seeking Alpha changes their policy on the Paywall, I suspect they are losing many readers.

Edit: No article shows words past the first 40-50 anymore. I still get all notifications, but nothing past a teaser sentence/slug. 👎 Yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app prior to rating drop, cuz duh. Original: All in all, this is a great app for access to up-to-date articles and some stock movements. At times it can be buggy, but the content is worth it. You can follow specific analysts and stocks. Doing so populates a page with their articles as they are submitted to SA.

App has solid functionality, good authors and quick updates. Technically, it is not the greatest. There are multiple issues which either aren't fixed or have taken a long time to fix. Notifications not loading is a big one. Happens to me everyday. Not the end of the world but a pain. Also, in my opinion the pricing updates lag other sites throughout the trading day

Good overall, but needs some work. Notifications on articles don't work about 80% of the time (android s22), just sends you to a page where the loading wheel doesn't stop spinning and then you lose the article and the notification is gone so can't find it again unless you remembered the title. Also pls add a "save article" button to notification and at top of article so we don't have to open and scroll all the way down to save for later. Takes way too long. Update 8/17 - getting worse!

I'd say more of 1.5 stars. It is a marginally effective stock screener, but I'll move on and look for a less annoying stock screener. All the articles are hidden behind subscribing for an overpriced paid service, the "analysis" is performed by 99% amateurs that don't work in the industry, and if you don't pay for the subscription they constantly pepper you with ads to pay for the subscription.

The app is great, very stable and easy to use, all the info I need and want to see is easy to find. I track my own portfolio (can link to brokerage account but I'm skittish about doing that so I entered stocks manually) plus other portfolios/baskets of stocks I'm interested in. I had free subscription and finally ponied up for paid subscription and happy I did, the extra access and features are worth it.

Oof, the app after refresh no longer provides the company data view that contained things like EV/Sales, Revenue Growth, etc, which was super helpful. Now I guess you have to pay $30 a month for the same data you used to get? That is a massive, unwanted change. Not to mention the UI is much worse. It's the old saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" Yikes!

The content is interesting. But the App, at least on Android, probably only opens correctly for me 50% of the time. Loading screen locks up. Or I just get a blank white page and have to kill it and restart. Had a premium subscription but basically couldn't use it on my phone, so had to cancel. Edit, it does seem to work more consistently so far after a delete and reinstall. Thank you! 8/30/24 - App is completely unusable again. Re-installed & restarted. Just a black screen.

This was my go-to app, then they decided to continuously push their upgrade, rendering the app useless, I moved to "My stocks portfolio" app. so much better for just quotes and portfolio tracking. Editing since they responded but missed the point, it isn't that there were prompts for 4 years. The app now constantly triggers for an upgrade, it always has an upgrade feature, now they decided to prompt you non stop to pay. I'd give it zero stars based on the reply missing the point.

Insanely cluttered. Highly unintuitive. This is a battery wasting notification producing machine. No less than 30 push notifications per day. Not to mention the massive flow of emails that comes along with it. The only way to change this is to get on the website. If I wanted my phone to go off 85 times a day I'd subscribe to Facebook. How about a little control over that?? Eh??

The app is horrible. I get pop up adds to download the app. This causes it to crash. If you purchase subscription, they are only available intermittently. If you give them your email address, you will be subject to loads of spam. Edit: Customer support got back to me. The only way I can stop the emails is to terminate the service. More recently, push notifications links do not work for articles from subscriptions.

Update as of 1/5/2021 Now pay to use. Only allowed 5 free articles per month and when clicking on article, user gets "shutdown" and forced to purchase a subscription. Company will say you can get a 2 week free trial and then cancel. Woop-dee-doo. With the amount of information out daily, 5 articles per month is near to useless. Went from a 5+++ Star app to a zero. Shame, had zero issues with the app for 6+ years and now it's pay to use.

I used to love this app, and I still do like the idea of it, but I've been getting tired of a lot of the same recycled articles and the failure to update certain inaccurate information. I.E. dividend yields, history, etc. Popular passive income YouTubers have brought this stuff up many times over the years. Also, I just got the price update. Are you guys really raising the price $60? That's absolutely ridiculous. There's nothing you can say to justify it. I may end up canceling my subscription.
