  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. [R13] TradingView 1/5 · US Confused: Very Confusing
  8. [R30] TradingView 3/5 · GB Complex, capable but not intuitive: New Users challenge to get used to the interface and features both for the App and the Website. There should be a dedicated helpline to get off the ground …
  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. [R27] TradingView 3/5 · GB Recent update - lots of errors (red !): After the most recent update, many of the volume based drawings (frvp, avwap, etc..), and indicators, either don’t load, or load but soon stop working and show a red exclamation mark indicating they have failed. Had no issues prior to this update..
  11. [R36] TradingView 3/5 · GB More glitches - you keep making it worse: Website and service is 11/10. This app used to be perfect but as the “engineers dilemma” exists they have decided to change things that didn’t need changing and made it worse. Please stop the flickering glitch where the crosshair flashes at 100mph randomly until you click off it. It’s giving me a headache. Thanks!
  12. [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.

  18. [R9] TradingView 3/5 · US Still believe in you guys: The most frustrating thing is that you aren't even able to report an issue. This AI chat is useless, it looks like it generates action buttons that are not clickable or not working when clickable. Very inconsistent. What I wanted to suggest: Please add an option to disable this new "AI generated earning summary"(when clicking on "e" icon at the bottom of the chart). It's
  19. [R22] TradingView 1/5 · US Starting to Become Sloppy - PATHETIC APP: Payments are becoming issues, Trading View randomly logger my account out - saying it was flagged for fraud. (umm you don’t even utilize money or credits so something is fishy here) & they just continuously apologize for problems that they should have resolved weeks (if not months) ago. People only like you because there is no other options that are as in
  20. [R96] Yahoo Finance 3/5 · US Option pricing issues: Overall, the app is great to track your portfolio of stocks. The problem is only with showing options positions. Sometimes the entries are showing total value of the option positions and sometimes they show the price. Also, they don’t update when options expire or exercised until several days later.. This is my experience with a Fidelity portfolio.
  21. [R100] Yahoo Finance 1/5 · US Glitches and more glitches: This is the most misleading app for price action. So many glitches specially after hours, right after close and in pre markets . Delete
  22. [R106] Yahoo Finance 1/5 · US Prices very inaccurate: portfolio is off by significant trends and dollars for some of my stocks compared to Schwab and dependable and unreliable. Don’t use it to trigger any trade.
  23. [R120] Yahoo Finance 3/5 · GB Financial data is often incorrect and delayed: frequently displays outdated stock quotes. · translated
