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. [R8] MarketWatch 5/5 · US Market watch is good reading: App has some great feature stories that are enjoyable to read
2. [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.
3. [R55] MarketWatch 2/5 · US Increase Number of Free Articles: Like the articles, but the limit is too low. Should be able to access more articles daily to read.
4. [R68] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US Best of all financial advice: Best financial tracking and best portfolio review and 💯accuracy
5. [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.
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. [R74] Yahoo Finance 5/5 · US Easy to use: I think this app is very user-friendly
8. [R111] Yahoo Finance 3/5 · US Getting slower: I’ve been using Yahoo finance for over 20 years. It keeps getting slower as they stuff in more ads. Charts take much longer to load now. It often locks up, waiting for the curser to come back. It’s really frustrating.
9. [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!
10. [R70] 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.
11. [R103] Yahoo Finance 2/5 · US Yahoo finance is down lately: App is unreliable
12. [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.
13. [R25] MarketWatch 1/5 · US Why charge for reading??: Plenty of sources to go to for the same information for free
14. [R92] 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.
15. [R115] Yahoo Finance 1/5 · US Wildly Inaccurate: When I pull in multiple portfolios, it aggregates the information wildly inaccurate. I reported this issue several times and it continues to be a problem. For example, my current YTD performance shows over a 22 million dollar loss and 89% decline. In 5 days, it shows I lost over 145 million dollars for a 97% decline. Absolutely pointless.
16. [R58] MarketWatch 1/5 · US Bad site: Bad site vse shows 403 page not found. I am a teacher and have used this before but not anymore pretty lame customer service
17. [R112] Yahoo Finance 2/5 · US Comment section: Not happy with the editing of comments ! Very restrictive on criticizing management !
18. [R101] 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
