love it ! one of the best programs out there, for what it does. We need it every day, and there is not a good substitute. However, it gets loaded up, gets latent, and crashes, sometimes even has mistakes and shows green when stock is down. It is a deep program and can track tons and tons of data. Keep improving it, we need it. It has been the best stock and market tracker for the last 25 years
Reviews for Yahoo Finance: Stocks & News
Great app. Easy access. The new version lacks the capability to see the pre & after market price on the list without opening the quote. The older version was more convenient at a glance down the list...my preference. Also, the message boards were better served when all the responses opened completely without having to press the extend button on each response. Otherwise, I like the app for timeliness, news, etc.
Extremely overpriced, $35/month or $350/year. Any information found within this app can easily be accessed with a quick Google search or contacting a company directly. For the trading aspect, there's another company that offers $0 commission free trading. If you'd lower the price, I'd be more compelled to buy premium. I do like that this app makes things easier and less time consuming but for the price, it doesn't make up for the time invested in doing my own research.
Update: I adjusted my stars ( wish I could do 2.5 stars) because an important sector of investing are not allowed to be added to your list. Crypto investments should be allowed to add to your list. I have more in Crypto than in stocks at the moment. Please add Crypto investments to your platform so we can add it to our portfolio. Thank you for considering. I am editing my review as the crashing issue has been resolved. I really like the news I get from this app, very informative.
The app mostly works for a quick app to check prices. The app can kind of track your accounts if you add your positions. Yahoo very much has an agenda as far as the "news" they present to you. Most of their articles are editorial in nature, churned out by shills. If you can stomach the constant attempts at market manipulation Yahoo throws at you. I would think yahoo would curate their "news" a little better, but I guess if msm is ever investigated for market manipulation, there is a long trail.
Latest update is terrible. It shows the total value of my holdings and daily gains and losses, but it won't show the lots purchased (dates and prices) that I took all the time to enter. Either says unexpected error, or occasionally says I need to login, only I am logged in. obviously it still has the information on the lots as it wouldn't be able to show my gains and losses, so what the heck Yahoo??
Easy to use. I miss the old graphs that showed dividend histories, but it's one my favorite financial apps. I would give it five stars, if Yahoo adds the dividend feature back on the standard graphs. I still miss the old graphs with splits and dividend details, but it's improved since my last review. You need to increase the number of securities that can be added. Thanks to DRIP plans and fractional purchases it's a lot easier to hold multiple securities than it was in the past.
Generally, an easy app to create and follow a list of stocks. My gripe is the watchlist used to be easier to read. Now, there is a tiny 1 day chart inserted between symbol and current price/change that is a waste of space and reduced the font size of the stock symbol, current price, and change. If I want to see the chart, I'll click on the symbol and view it... I've searched everywhere for how to remove that useless chart on the watchlist page with no luck. Android.
It is a good software if you only want to track stock prices. If you add any stocks/funds to a folder to track daily changes, then the app is insufficient. It won't adjust for stock split. Also, if you trade and then use the buy/sell function to add/substract your shares, the graph is all messed up!!! I have actually earned money this year, but it shows I have lost money. For some crazy reason, while the dollar amount in my portfolio is calculated correctly, the graph shows a total different pic
Same app, differenr problem. Recently updated app for android 9.0 and the app no longer updates marker indices throughout the day. When i click the "markets" button, it appears that they're only updated in the morning shortly after the market open. I received a response from Finance support team on this issue, suggesting that I clear the app data, which I did. Now the app is unable to to retrieve data at all for any of the market indices. This app is complete junk and I'm uninstalling it.
