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. [R1] Seeking Alpha 1/5 · US Atrocious - App keeps “sticking”: I’m a new premium subscriber. I’m trying to enter in details of my portfolio. It sits there stuck with each keystroke and the lag is ridiculous. Trying to get the Menu to respond is like go away and come back after a few mins. Whoever is in charge of this app should be taken to the back and dealt with.
2. [R9] Seeking Alpha 3/5 · US Lots of latency: I wish I could rely on this app more, but during trading hours, there is a lot of latency with the updates to prices…and the app becomes unbearably slow when trying to update your stocks! Needs improvement!
3. [R12] Seeking Alpha 3/5 · US Useful Content but serious user interface issues: I am a fan of this platform and find the content, data and community comments to be extremely valuable to discerning readers. Big negative is their customer support. They are arrogant and dismissive of valid feedback.
4. [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.
5. [R13] Seeking Alpha 1/5 · US Terrible update: Very little works now. Will not stay on the Portfolios tab, which is my preferred starting page. The customization page does not work and requires closing the app to exit.
6. [R55] Seeking Alpha 2/5 · US Currently unusable: Normally, seeking alpha is a great research tool. I haven’t been able to use it in the last few weeks though. The app has gotten so slow and buggy that it is currently unusable, as it’s not possible to open any articles, access any of your portfolios, manage subscriptions, etc. The app is so slow you literally cannot do anything on it. Tried to uninstall and reinstall the app w
7. [R70] TradingView 1/5 · US Can’t figure it out.: Dnt know how to use it. It’s not easy to use.
8. [R58] Seeking Alpha 1/5 · US Unusable: There are much better research and screener apps out there. This one absolutely does not work on IOS 18. It consumes 100% of the CPU and if you’re lucky the Trending Analysis section will load after a couple of minutes. Not so much for all of the other tabs. Those are simply a gray screen while the app turns your phone into a hand warmer. The website on an iPhone using Chrome, Firefox, B
9. [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.
10. [R10] Seeking Alpha 1/5 · US No more portfolio tracking: The great portfolio tracking feature will no longer update without a subscription. It was the one thing that kept me coming back to SA. Was a subscriber for years until many of the articles became nothing but clickbait with little to no substantial value. Leo Nelisson was excellent but I couldn’t justify a $300/yr subscription for only one contributor that was of any va
11. [R34] Seeking Alpha 1/5 · US Rip: $300 for an annual subscription is a major ripoff.
12. [R102] TradingView 3/5 · GB Too expensive!: Better if you lower your fees
13. [R79] 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
14. [R31] Seeking Alpha 1/5 · US Be very careful with the subscription: I had an unfortunate experience with the subscription renewal. I forgot to cancel before the renewal date and was charged automatically. I understand this is part of the terms, but what disappointed me is that the company refused to offer any refund, even though I contacted them shortly after the charge and did not use the service during the renewed period.
15. [R61] TradingView 1/5 · US .: No customer support
16. [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!
