  1. [R2] Stocktwits 5/5 · US Hate the Community: But I love the opportunity to express unique and challenging ideas. I also benefit from the due diligence of others from time to time usually in the form of posts regarding press releases or scientific papers in biotech. A good example would be Zevra’s paper on MIPLYFFA research in the infant NPC population.
  2. [R5] Stocktwits 5/5 · US Great Customer Support: There are several apps i use for quality assurance for my research before buying/selling my stocks and Stocktwits app allows me to stay up to date with live feed from a community of users discussing the specific ticker symbol of interest in any moment of time when the company stock is active. The customer support has very fast response time
  3. [R9] Stocktwits 3/5 · US Removed features: The most useful feature of this app was being able to see futures prices vs closing prices on stocks during off hours. Why would they remove that? I really don’t have any reason to use this app instead of the apple stocks app now.
  4. [R15] Stocktwits 3/5 · US Missing custom percentage gain and loss from the graph: Can you guys add the 2 graph comparison so I can compare the top point vs low point to see gain % vs losses % just like yahoo finance?
  5. [R6] Stocktwits 3/5 · US iPad Bugs: For iPad, there is a huge bug on sizing. Makes it impossible to use. Please fix it!
  6. [R28] Stocktwits 1/5 · US Cannot delete notifications: Can’t delete notifications, ready to delete app for this.
  7. [R29] Stocktwits 5/5 · US Great app: This app is easy to use and very accurate for finding trending stocks. It’s best utilized with other platforms, but this is a great sanity check before trading. App is amazing for day trading, not sure how helpful it is for swing trading and long term investing though.
  8. [R32] Stocktwits 5/5 · US Total: Great stuff and easy to use
  9. [R1] Stocktwits 1/5 · US App crashes at launch on iOS 18.7.3: Useless if you chose not to update to Apples liquid glass garbage.
  10. [R24] Stocktwits 3/5 · GB Needs optimisation: I’m a regular user of Stocktwits and I have experienced one problems over the past weeks. Every time I choose to load one stock to either see the chart or messages it does not load (forever loading sign appears), I literally have to go to yahoo finance to resolve the problem. Please optimise your servers
  11. [R33] Stocktwits 3/5 · GB Great app but refresh broken: Love this app but the refresh on the WatchList just hangs. Have to shut the app and restart to get new data. Once this is fixed it’s a 5*!
  12. [R34] Stocktwits 1/5 · US Scam: This app will constantly open new browser windows for unsolicited ads. Also you will be constantly banned with 0 explanation or support. Also this will DRAIN your battery like no other. Literally 1% per minute.
  13. [R4] Stocktwits 1/5 · US Trash: Trash app that bans you for rules that are based on feelings. Pay $30 for “edge” and get banned by someone that doesn’t like what u have to say and then have to wait until a week day to be able to post again. Platform has become a joke.
  14. [R7] Stocktwits 1/5 · US Wow…this is garbage: Absolute garbage! I have attempted to build my platform utilizing basic strategies and this company just doesn’t understand messaging or marketing. This app is a joke compared to other social media platforms. Also, contains illicit activity and spam bots. Thank you AIRe.PublicPlatform
  15. [R10] Stocktwits 1/5 · US .: You can say whatever you want! Market manipulation all over
  16. [R17] Stocktwits 5/5 · US One week user review: Colorful, full of banter from your co-investors. More freedom than reddit. This is a great app and I am using only the free version.
  17. [R20] Stocktwits 5/5 · US The Best: The Single Best App on the Markets Bar None! For Both Professionals and Novices. I Don’t Pay for Apps other than SPOT. Especially from Equity so called “Hot Shots” and Information that I get on a professional basis anyways. Because I’m prudent and Cheap, but I’d pay for StockTwits. Luckily They Don’t Charge. It’s FREE!
  18. [R64] TradingView 1/5 · US refund: try to get a refund that they charged me for two plans during the 4 th of july special
  19. [R22] Stocktwits 1/5 · US No support: They’re autonomously suspending accounts with no response from support or any way to actually hear from a human being
  20. [R26] Stocktwits 5/5 · US Absolutely GREAT APP!!!: My experience has been pleasant and they were quick to respond to my emails!
  21. [R58] Stocktwits 5/5 · US Great Info Source: Great source to find trending stocks
  22. [R61] TradingView 1/5 · US .: No customer support
  23. [R69] 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
  24. [R112] 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!
  25. [R115] TradingView 1/5 · US Credit card issues and double charging: Awful customer service. No phone number and you can’t open a ticket while on a trial subscription but my issue was their problem charging my card to no longer be on a trial subscription. Now both my cards have been charged.
  26. [R12] Stocktwits 3/5 · US They have a ways to go.: Rude people not Real investors . And a bunch of scammers trying to sell crypto investments.
  27. [R13] Stocktwits 1/5 · US Bots, larpers and furus. Oh my!: Everyone on here is either a bot, someone pretending they make money or some guy trying to sell you a subscription. Absolute trash. Outside of that it’s a decent app.
  28. [R37] Stocktwits 1/5 · US Tsoi: They allow scam stocks to operate here with Ryan girvan as chief grifter
  29. [R51] Stocktwits 1/5 · US Garbage: Stocktwits doesn’t nothing about the constant liars trying to trick new retail investors. It’s just full of spam bots and scammers.
  30. [R72] 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.
  31. [R75] TradingView 3/5 · US No earnings calendar: No calendar on the app but the website does
  32. [R100] 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.
  33. [R103] TradingView 2/5 · US Needs serious User Interface improvements: A good app that is not very easy to use. You can create a watchlist of stocks but to quickly go through every stock chart in that watchlist is neither intuitive nor easy. They don’t have simple mechanisms like front/back buttons to move thru a watchlist. The mechanism provided is very hard if you have a large watchlist.
