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] Investing.com 1/5 · US Pro plant does not even see the stock pick updated list: Not worth the money
  2. [R4] Investing.com 1/5 · US What Sale???: How is $214.99 a 60% off July sale? Come on guys. Almost $20 a month for an app that doesn't even sync portfolios is a rip. You'd probably double your subscribers if you dropped the price to $99 annually. Or offer a lifetime membership.
  3. [R8] Investing.com 5/5 · US Go To App: Investing.com is my go to app for investing. I’ve tried many over the years, but this one seems to have everything I need.
  4. [R9] Investing.com 3/5 · US Not worth it: I have paid version of Investing Pro. Other than getting blasted with several news, the subscription is not worth the money. Monthly stock pick is useless so far. There are other apps that I use is worth every penny unlike this app. I wouldn’t recommend the subscription.
  5. [R2] Investing.com 5/5 · US Fast and convenient: Very faster and accurate data
  6. [R5] Investing.com 5/5 · US Version 6.75.1 breaks My Holdings tab: As above, the tab no longer works in landscape mode. Please fix. Fixed in 6.76.0. Very fast fix. Thank you.
  7. [R7] Investing.com 2/5 · US Invasive ads: Keep the junk invasive off the site. I’m not here to see kid games and move the x So immature, - switching to another app with same content would be easy.
  8. [R12] Investing.com 3/5 · US Ad blocks Entry: Love the app, but to get in they make you look at an ad, which is fine whatever, but it glitches have the time and I can never use the app. It’s been many months now.
  9. [R13] Investing.com 1/5 · US faul: it always tell not connection
  10. [R16] Investing.com 1/5 · US Fix: Broken when overseas, used to work great. Bug now
  11. [R19] Investing.com 2/5 · US What were you thinking?: The latest update made the search function much less functional. I can no longer watch the price of multiple names in my search history. Now I have to re-select each one individually instead of seeing a live list. Please revert to the last iteration!
  12. [R3] Investing.com 3/5 · US Great App, Awful Customer Service: The title says it all. Customer service is solely via email and the response time in my case was several days.
  13. [R10] Investing.com 1/5 · US Too shady: Can't cancel the subscription, too shady. · translated
  14. [R37] Investing.com 1/5 · US App is good, Support is terrible.: Very difficult to get connected to a human that can solve problems.
  15. [R40] Investing.com 2/5 · US Discounted Pro Membership a BLOODY MESS!!: I received a code from a YouTube blogger for a discounted pro membership and from the beginning this process to input information to receive the pro membership has been a mess. Of course they charge me but they don’t respond with any kind of intro emails or any information.
  16. [R25] Investing.com 1/5 · US Broken app: Still when ads load up at start up will cause the app to freeze and I can’t click the x to get past the ad. So I normally have to close the app and then open and it’ll be good but now it’s not loading data which I assume the servers are down.
  17. [R83] Fidelity Investments 5/5 · US Service: I can’t say enough great things about the service I get every time I’ve called Fidelity. Their representatives are not only personable and extremely knowledgeable, but they also go above and beyond my expectations every single time!! They help me understand my investments, make recommendations and give me options for whatever situation I need!! It’s so hard to find good customer service t
  18. [R101] Fidelity Investments 5/5 · US Investing !: I have trusted Fidelity with my investments since 1981 and they have managed my investments extremely well. The staff and my investment counselor are terrific. I am right on target to have more than sufficient income thought out my retirement. Planning and guidance with our team has been excellent. 👍🏻 to Fidelity.
  19. [R106] Fidelity Investments 5/5 · US 24/7 professionals: I’ve had portfolios with Schwab and JPM as well as Fidelity for a number of years. They’ve always answered my questions and consistently perform as needed. They were the first to trade in dollars as well as shares. I know they have a lot of additional services to offer, but never push for more business. My wife has been pushing me to transfer what I have at the other broker
  20. [R67] Fidelity Investments 1/5 · US Recent Update sucks: Recent update forced mobile users to view purchases and sales into / out of core cash settlement funds. It’s made the transactions feed functionally useless, where every movement of money between accounts quadruplicate transactions. It was never like this until the recent update. On the Web interface, you can hide these unnecessary transactions. Also, the recent UI changes
  21. [R69] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US Stop trying to make your app look like Robinhood: I chose Fidelity because I want a grown up brokerage. The app updates keep making it worse. I don’t need to see company logos, I need the portfolio positions rows to spill over into two lines. I need a compact view of relevant information that displays on a small phone screen.
  22. [R73] Fidelity Investments 1/5 · US Mobile App feedback: UI is very unfriendly. Compared to other apps this is very disappointing. This needs to be upgraded like Charles Schwab, Robinhood etc Your mobile app is not responsive. Every page it hits takes few seconds to refresh and load the page contents. Making it more responsive is much desirable. Thanks
  23. [R75] Fidelity Investments 3/5 · US Used To Love It, Now Ambivalent: I use the app all the time and have for...not going to admit how long, but there's more than one digit. And I still find it helpful...mostly. Recent updates to the UI removed or hid features I regularly use, such as individual position data (now very limited) and breakdown by purchase lots.
