Stock Master vs CNBC

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. [R11] Stock Master 5/5 · US Most informative: I rely on the app as a starting point for information, to do research on a stock and macro economy. It has helped me to make good decisions since 2018.
2. [R12] Stock Master 3/5 · US ipo and summary: i have email several times to ask to please add ipo's back and to make sure EVERY stock has a summary. we used to get the ipo's but they are no longer there. ALSO we want a one a done payment, NOT a subscription based app.
3. [R63] CNBC 3/5 · US Metals prices missing: Under Commodities, the entire Metals prices are missing. Does anyone else have this problem?
4. [R71] CNBC 4/5 · US Missing High Lows: The new version is missing 52 week highs and lows!!
5. [R2] Stock Master 5/5 · US The best informative app: I have used multiple different apps for tracking the market and had subscription to paid apps as well but knowledge and ease of use with stock master is amazing
6. [R14] 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.
7. [R64] CNBC 1/5 · US App won’t load lately: For the last few months I’m having issues where stories just won’t load. I have to reconnect to my wifi to make it work. Sort of annoying I’m assuming it’s tied to their spammy ads and my Unifi system blocking them. App used to work great, but since the spinoff has been bad.
8. [R76] CNBC 1/5 · US Livestream never loads: I hardly ever leave reviews and almost never leave negative reviews but this app has been so frustrating. I have to refresh it 30+ times to get the livestream to even load and sometimes it just never does and I can't watch that morning. Then sometimes I have to go through the same process after stops working after a commercial break. No one has time for that. I know it's sp
9. [R6] Stock Master 3/5 · US Freezing: Your advertising -full screens “Freeze” on my screen - meaning I can’t get out of the App unless I dump it, and download it again - THAT MEANS that I need to Load the App again and RE-enter all of my stock list… time wasting/ frustrating…
10. [R60] 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
11. [R73] CNBC 1/5 · US Videos Freeze: I don’t understand for the life of me how this is a five star rated app. This app is absolutely horrible and has gotten worse since Versant bought out the company. The videos freeze about 20% into it. The charts are incredibly amateur and lag the videos take so long to come out after they’ve been played. Do better this is garbage.
12. [R82] CNBC 1/5 · US Content great app still stinks: The live stream feature is still not working. I’ve used this app for years. Everything was great but months ago, it will not let you connect through your cable provider. When you hit the button, the wheel just spins and spins for hours. I was hoping after this last update it would be fixed but to no avail.
13. [R33] Stock Master 3/5 · US Too expensive not full featured: I would use this app a lot with the paid version if it would automatically sync with my Schwab and Robinhood portfolio, as well as not be so expensive for the paid version for what is being provided.
14. [R52] 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.
15. [R117] CNBC 3/5 · GB Good but thanks: This app is a perfect app for business news. However when it comes to subscription, it’s not cheap. It when you pay for subscription, you have certain expectations. Things like Picture in Picture, doesn’t work well on IOS, PAID SUBSCRIPTION os only consist of live CNBC channel and doesn’t give access to entertainment section of the app. come on, $29.99 a month only give you ac
16. [R118] CNBC 1/5 · US Video freezes A LOT: I pay $150 for this subscription but video constantly freezes. I am on a newer and fully updated iPhone, and never experience this issue with any other apps on my device. Also, there is no way to associate you account on a smart tv, so you can only cast from a mobile device. I expected more for $150. Free video apps perform better. That said, the content itself is great for
17. [R53] 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.
18. [R58] 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!
19. [R85] CNBC 1/5 · US Not working!!! Lousy support!!!: Have had a problem every month around renew time. It won’t work for a week before and after!🙃
