1. [R8] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US Best of all financial advice: Best financial tracking and best portfolio review and 💯accuracy
2. [R26] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US Need to keep track?: Never have to spend extra time wondering where the market is. Put all your positions in one spot, Yahoo Finance is the best.
3. [R61] Stock Master 2/5 · US Ads are very annoying!: I like most everything about the app except the ads and lack of sector and industry identification in summary section of individual stock profile. Even after a paid subscription, the ads still do not go away and that’s extremely disappointing.
4. [R74] Stock Master 4/5 · US Good app.: This is a great app, except for the ads. Several have locked up my screen to where I had to reboot. Some are just annoying, one is a pop up that says your device is infected and then the screen locks for about a minute as they hope you will hit the purchase button. Minus the annoying ads this is a great app, easy to use, accurate, easy to trac any stock, EFT, mutual funds.
5. [R14] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US Easy to use: I think this app is very user-friendly
6. [R41] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US Nice: I like tracking my investments in this app for free without having to actually having to link my accounts
7. [R70] Stock Master 1/5 · US Too many pop up ads: Great app otherwise. I understand seller needs to make money but these constant pop up ads out of nowhere when checking charts, options pricing, etc. and some are not easy to get rid of.
8. [R85] Stock Master 1/5 · US Awful Ads: Full screen ads that block everything and can’t be skipped destroy the experience. This is the only App I have ever used that makes it completely useless while a 60’second commercial / Ad rolls on. Great underlying product.
9. [R43] Yahoo Finance 2/5 · US Yahoo finance is down lately: App is unreliable
10. [R40] 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
11. [R120] Stock Master 3/5 · US Slow and buggy: Stock quotes and charts are slow to update. Occasionally don’t work for hours. Frequent ads on the free version that you can’t skip and that often freeze the app so you have to close and reopen it. The discussion boards are worthless not only because of content (which is expected) but also because of the functional (or dysfunctional) design
12. [R118] Stock Master 1/5 · US Ads are out of control: Would pay for a monthly or annual subscription if it was reasonable. The November update screwed so many of us that rely on this app!
13. [R32] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US My left arm: It helps me so much, I do so many things in this app. Love it. Sadly the subscription is quite expensive for me to move forward with it.
14. [R86] Stock Master 5/5 · US Love it!: Love the app, has lots of features! Just wish the price wasn’t so steep.
15. [R112] Stock Master 2/5 · US Unusable without subscription: Less than 30 seconds after opening the app, you have to watch a video ad that goes on and on and doesn’t have a skip button. The subscription is $200 a year.
16. [R10] Yahoo Finance 1/5 · US Not working on xfinity network: Since 1-2 months yahoo finance app is not working on xfinity network. Even yahoo finance website doesn’t work. Not able to get data and open webpage on xfinity network. Others apps works without any issue. It sounds like xfinity blocking yahoo finance.
17. [R13] Yahoo Finance 2/5 · US Problems with recent update: All of a sudden some of the stocks in my portfolios are not showing under basic view. The app seems to truncate some of my portfolios whether they have 4 or 40 stocks, but only under basic view. This recent update has a big bug for iPad. Doesn’t happen on android and seems random. Maybe stop updating so much, but this needs to get fixed.
18. [R113] Stock Master 4/5 · US Good App: StockMaster is a very good app. It provides a lot of information and will send alerts. The only issue I have is that certain features will suddenly stop working. For instance, the news feed has stopped working for the past 3 weeks. The CPI charts stopped last year. CPI returned after a few months. News has not so far.
