  5. [R3] Finelo 3/5 · US Still getting a feel: First I’d like to say app has some bugs. Locked up on me twice first two times I opened it and logged in. Had to close and restart it twice to get it to run. I’m using an iPhone 17 pro max fully updated on IOS for reference. After getting into the app started with the tutorial and it was quick and informative. Other than the startup bugs seems ok.
  6. [R15] Finelo 3/5 · US Still trying to learn: I am learning but this is all new to me.
  7. [R47] Finelo 1/5 · US Useless Expensive App: They use a lot of baiting in their ads leading me to think it was something that it wasn’t. Every update (and there were a lot in the short period I used it) always thwarted my progress and the app would hang and not progress. This was a huge waste of money and pricey. I’ve had free apps that were worth more.

  10. [R16] Finelo 1/5 · US Bait app: The advertising that tricks you into signing up promises 20.00 access to a trading company. Where in actuality, you will be charged over 100.00 for “educational advancement”. Then in order to actually participate in trading, you have to sign up for a brokerage with the associated fees and costs associated with the activity in that account. Tread carefully, should you decide to embark wi

Do not download this app. Do not give these people A single dime of y

It won’t show up in your subscriptions so you won’t know you’re getting billed a 2nd time. They won’t refund your money. It’s like trying to quit a gym. STAY AWAY! STAY FAR AWAY! (Update.

  21. [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.

  24. [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.
