MarketWatch alternatives

What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R4] MarketWatch 1/5 · US False Advertising: I subscribed to MarketWatch under the pretense that I would be charged $3.99/month for the first 12 months of my subscription and then subsequently charged $19.99/month following the 12 month period. I resubscribed and was charged $19.99 and there is no customer service or information provided. This behavior is predatory and false advertising.
2. [R6] MarketWatch 3/5 · US Subscription doesn’t work on IPhone App: After paying for a subscription, the app always wants you to login with the user ID and password. Doesn’t seem to work well on an iPhone.
3. [R12] MarketWatch 3/5 · US Jack: Way too many pop up advertisements for subscribers.
4. [R16] MarketWatch 1/5 · US Nothing but problems: I signed up and have nothing but problems. Used google to open my account. Paid for the market watch/barrons subscription. Tried opening article.. they won’t open. Tried to set my watch list won’t work. Tried to email customer service recieved an error message! I have screen shots… I want a refund!
5. [R13] MarketWatch 1/5 · US Bug: Since the last update, ca no longer click on the Comments link on iOS devices, either iPhone or iPad.
6. [R19] MarketWatch 1/5 · US BUGGY!: It’s literally one of the most annoying and poorly written apps I’ve run across. If they fired everyone in their IT department, that would be a good start.
7. [R21] MarketWatch 3/5 · US Bug: I can’t buy any stocks right now because of the bug and it only allows me to sell but I can’t move the slider for when i try to buy
8. [R10] MarketWatch 1/5 · US I Hate the Wall Street Journal: Totally communist editorial and non-business news. Also, they tease you with part of an article then ask you to pay an exorbitant fee for a subscription. Are you kidding me?
9. [R25] MarketWatch 1/5 · US Why charge for reading??: Plenty of sources to go to for the same information for free
10. [R28] MarketWatch 1/5 · US Slow news. Not worth a fee: I paid for this service to get news as soon as it happens. The markets have completely moved by the time these alerts come through. I didn’t cancel until the day the payment came through. I immediately cancelled within 5 minutes and they refused to refund me. Probably would have gotten a couple more stars if they refunded me for something I don’t want and have no use
11. [R34] MarketWatch 1/5 · US Cost: They now want to charge you to read just about any articles
12. [R1] MarketWatch 1/5 · US Poor journalism: Always always has a negative lean against Trump and Republicans and their economy. There’s a way you can print the news then there’s a way you can slant it and these people do it constantly to the left. They suck. It’s no secret that Rupert Murdoch and Trump have issues with each other. The same thing is existing with Bloomberg News. I’m 81 years old and where I’ve watched this co
13. [R39] MarketWatch 3/5 · GB Easy to access data: Has a lot of useful data but I don’t trust their news due to the authors being time wizards
14. [R9] MarketWatch 3/5 · US Decent: I generally like the app. Most articles are written well. Some are useful. I find them much better than others. My main complaint is that the app doesn’t allow for a Dark Mode. In this day and age, not having a Dark Mode is surprising.
15. [R24] MarketWatch 3/5 · US Save option: I love market watch I just wish in the app you could save articles.
16. [R27] MarketWatch 3/5 · US Format: Important stock market numbers are not readily available as you open the app, everything else is very important but secondary, CNBC‘s format is more practical, however, I prefer not to use anything NBC..
17. [R36] MarketWatch 3/5 · GB Major loss of functionality compared to old format. Don’t upgrade for now ((: Hi, iPad/iPhone charting hardly works anymore. And can no longer run charts with more than a single security. Cheers, Adrian
18. [R56] Stocks 3/5 · US The more you use it, the harder it gets: I appreciate many things about this app. It is easy to use, there is a lot of information readily available with just a tap or two, and the link to real time news is great. Here are some features I would like to see: 1. Add a sort feature, so you can sort listings alphabetically, by date added, by market cap, whatever. Doing this manually, the only curren
19. [R61] Stocks 5/5 · US Thanks: It tells me everything I need to know
20. [R64] Stocks 5/5 · US Great🦧: I can check my favorite company’s money rate
21. [R69] CNBC 5/5 · US Please Add A stock market Widget For IPhone: This App Is wonderful the Benifits of knowledge is awesome I just wish it had some Widgets for I can see the updates faster thank you
22. [R74] CNBC 3/5 · US Mute the annoying music: CNBC’s programming is excellent, especially with a Prime membership, it really elevates the viewing experience. However, I do wish they would mute the music or switch to a more calming, visually appealing background when blocking commercials. It would make the experience feel much more polished and enjoyable.
23. [R76] CNBC 3/5 · US Good Investment Information: I enjoy listening to the information shared but i gave it a 3 because there are to many commercials for the high price subscription.
24. [R86] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US Best of all financial advice: Best financial tracking and best portfolio review and 💯accuracy
25. [R89] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US Works fine: Works well on my phone.
26. [R92] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US Easy to use: I think this app is very user-friendly
27. [R94] The Wall Street Journal. News 4/5 · US Sustainable business went dark: Always have appreciated the quality of reporting especially with the Sustainable Business section. Too bad they took it out.
28. [R97] The Wall Street Journal. News 5/5 · US They solved the comments issue: They finally solved seeing comments in the app. Thank goodness.
29. [R106] The Wall Street Journal. News 4/5 · US Please Add Playback Speed Option To Audio: Love the app, love your reporting. Love listening to articles. Please add an option to adjust audio playback speed and make it so my selection is saved so I don’t have to set it for each article. Keep up the great work
30. [R108] thinkorswim 5/5 · US Unbelievable.: A full-featured trading platform on my iPhone. Holy cow. Really: what more needs to be said?
31. [R109] thinkorswim 3/5 · US Lagging: Recent update has made the app very slow. This is at least in the options trading portion of the app. I get the re-establishing connection quite often than before. I don’t have this issue in the desktop app or on my android device.
32. [R15] MarketWatch 3/5 · US Will not open: When I receive MW emails, the articles have stopped automatically opening; rather I have to log in with each one.
