  1. [R1] Investing.com 1/5 · US Pro plant does not even see the stock pick updated list: Not worth the money
  2. [R2] Investing.com 5/5 · US Fast and convenient: Very faster and accurate data
  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. [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.
  6. [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!
  7. [R22] Investing.com 1/5 · US Hard to edit watchlist: Unable to save after sorting.
  8. [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.
  9. [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.
  10. [R13] Investing.com 1/5 · US faul: it always tell not connection
  11. [R16] Investing.com 1/5 · US Fix: Broken when overseas, used to work great. Bug now
  12. [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.
  13. [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.
  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. [R43] Investing.com 1/5 · US Poor customer service and app experience: I’m unable to comment when I’m in Singapore or Vietnam. When I’m in Thailand it works. I’ve reached out to the Customer Services, they didn’t care. Hence I will never pay for a subscription. If you cannot fix this problem when I’m traveling you cannot have my money
  17. [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.
  18. [R31] Investing.com 1/5 · US Se congela: La app cuando la publicidad se activa, se congela y no deja entrar a la app. Ya lo instale 2 veces y sigue el problema.

  20. [R99] Robinhood 3/5 · GB No option trading: - I thought you give new breeze to bring option trading to UK. Why you skip it? Also why the candlestick chart isn’t show in real time? the only option is per hour. It takes 2 working days if you withdraw money. But takes seconds to transfer money into it. + plus side, has no fx fee because your money going to exchanged to usd once you fund the account. Also got small amount of
  21. [R102] Robinhood 3/5 · GB Missing features to compete: App looks great, fees are great. Robinhood is held back in the UK because there’s no ISA options and no option to buy European companies or any type of fund.
  22. [R105] Robinhood 3/5 · GB Option trading: I don’t think there is options trading for uk users which is so disappointing I had so much high expectations for the app, just to have it crashed. Not just that but I feel like this app is playing games with me. I hope their add that option trading soon.
  23. [R64] Robinhood 1/5 · US Can’t login: Hope they fix asap. It logged me out and now the verify software is bugged. Support is out of the question to reach without the app to where I CAN’T GET IN
  24. [R70] Robinhood 1/5 · US 10 years later do NOT trust Robinhood with your money.: UPDATE: I responded to Robinhoods request for information and they told me to kick rocks. Delete your accounts. Guys as a 10 year long Robinhood user I will never recommend them again after being burned TWICE. they are not for serious investors or traders. They exist to skim your trades. They will wait for you to have a large active trade t
