  1. [R2] TradingView 5/5 · US Happy Tradingview members.: Tradingview greatly tools. I like it. Let’s me creating myself indicators, colors, many things else. Thanks all.
  2. [R32] TradingView 5/5 · US Master Maker: I am new to trading; I am not reckless, which is to say I was schooled once with an option trade, and I stepped back, and into the Trading View sphere. Now, thanks to Trading View, all I do is learn, learn, read, practice math and learn more. Trading View is comprehensive and can also be customized to your tastes, trades and what YOU care about. It’s all there- and the papers, artic
  3. [R61] CoinMarketCap 2/5 · US Too much: CMC has been great for years but the recent update takes away an important part of the app in my opinion. Community has always been recent posts about the particular coin you’re looking at and then the overall community posts which are typically bitcoin related or other very popular topics. Now the app rids of coin specific discussions and replaces it with the infamous “algorithm” to giv
  4. [R73] CoinMarketCap 1/5 · US Now with unwanted pop-up ads: The latest forced update now has pop-up ads on app start, and ads all over the place. Nobody wants ads thrown at them, we get enough of those everywhere else. This also means that all of the marketing companies displaying ads are receiving your cookies and other private data that your device stores. They will sell share and trade that data to anyone who pays for i
  5. [R10] TradingView 1/5 · US Can’t figure it out.: Dnt know how to use it. It’s not easy to use.
  6. [R12] TradingView 3/5 · US App is kind of hard to navigate: Although this app is amazing on a computer or MacBook, this app really seems to fall short on the cell phone. Maybe it is better on iPad, but it is not compatible with iPhone. Very confusing and unclear.
  7. [R93] CoinMarketCap 3/5 · GB Needs improvement: I think the overall look of the app is a little confusing and busy. It’s frustrating not being able to see the exact amount of crypto in my portfolio, it’ll say 1.8m rather than show full number, this is really not good especially when you need to make calculations.
  8. [R102] CoinMarketCap 3/5 · GB New Portfolio layout awful: Why change the portfolio layout? I can no longer see individual prices for each crypto in my portfolio.
  9. [R19] TradingView 1/5 · US High premium for broken crashing and freezing app: Loses will be reimbursed in courts while alternative is been build, TradingView blocked my build indicators because it caused and created risk to the MM but they don’t understand what I shall build to destroy all who intervene shall we see
  10. [R40] TradingView 1/5 · US Mobile app is horrible: If I could give zero stars I would. TradingView on mobile used to be fine. Now it’s super glitchy, loading charts takes forever, and sometimes the app just crashes.
  11. [R108] CoinMarketCap 3/5 · GB Unreliable doesn’t refresh properly!: It doesn’t refresh the prices properly which makes the whole app unreliable. When I look at the list of coins prices are different than when I click at individual coin and load the graph. It’s a shame as the app has a nice graphic design and I always use the desktop website. Sort it out or get rekt. I will not hodl this app if it doesn’t get fixed.
  12. [R111] CoinMarketCap 3/5 · GB Portfolio tracking buggy: The portfolio tracking of this app is buggy. I spent £50 on a coin at £2.4563 the app says the coin was worth £1.881 & I spent £38.30. Despite me going in & changing it a few times. Oh & in the transaction history it says I spent £51.37. I’ve got staked rewards on this also that brings an average price of £2.45 but the app says it’s £2.56. It just does not make sense. I
  13. [R16] TradingView 1/5 · US Overpriced: Overpriced
  14. [R42] TradingView 3/5 · GB Too expensive!: Better if you lower your fees
  15. [R79] CoinMarketCap 2/5 · US Ads killed it: The ads they’ve added recently when I just want to check the BTC price has made it unusable for me. Deleted
  16. [R1] TradingView 1/5 · US .: No customer support
  17. [R52] TradingView 1/5 · US Scammers: No support, no one to get a hold of regarding refund for false advertisement. The subscription says 30 days free but immediately charged me and once I cancelled my subscription i was unable to contact customer service. Apparently to get any help from them you have to pay for it!
  18. [R70] CoinMarketCap 1/5 · US Data not safe: Based on the numerous phishing emails I have been receiving, it is easy to trace the source back to CMC. The app isn’t useful enough to expose yourself to phishing and malware. I am glad I only used this particular email only once or I would have never caught it.
  19. [R115] CoinMarketCap 1/5 · US The only: The reason I put one star is because I have been trying to take out money for 4 weeks now promised me I would get it have not received anything at all
