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.
Reviews for Seeking Alpha: News & Analysis
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
