Won't allow a login! I've tried three times and it just keeps asking to login. Useless!
Constantly crashes. I've uninstalled and use the mobile friendly website instead.
The latest update destoyed the useablity of the Watchlist part of the app. Took the app from 5 stars to a 1 star rating. I can't believe this was done on purpose. I am uninstalling.
Expensive pay wall.
can only get headlines so basically worthless
app keeps closing when I click watchlist
Subscription password FUBAR
just like death and taxes, you can count on this app to glitch out constantly. Then you'll need to hit links repeatedly to get to your desired page. Get some tech guys who know what the heck they're doing and fix the damn app. I'm sure you folks at marketwatch read the reviews so do something about it instead of staring at the same comments.
Not enough good information. Not good at evaluating stocks.
opening a notification just gets you to the main page and not the article (xhen it does cause if you try it twice you just have a black screen)...
GalaxyS23 . strobe flashing screen while typing / search. Constantly freezing. Constantly crashing. Why am I paying? I just updated the app less than an hour ago and it still behaves exactly as it has over the past month+
app crashes constantly
says met my free when I didn't read anything
used to love this app but have gone elsewhere because I'm so tired of everyone hiding every little thing behind a paywall
this app logs me out every few days and doesn't auto play the next article. and I can only select one article to play at a time, instead of buildings a queue of articles to pay for half an hour. why can't MW app be more like the economist app?
too expensive
frequently freezes, shuts down after 30 seconds every time I open it
too many not welcome changes. you had it, but decided to mess it up. unfortunately
Good content but it often hangs when coming from a notification. Also, the watchlist has some strange behavior and shows the first sorted stock again when scrolling. You have to know where to look to find a lot of the content categories. Since I pay for this app I'm disappointed and expect more stability, polish and attention to detail.
I often have to close the app and relaunch to get it to update.
One issue is that the watchlist corrupts itself, and you have to refresh it over and over. I read many of the articles and find them accurate.
very old interface
Is there a way to make the app just load when I open it? Very tiresome to wait for it to load, then nothing happens, then force close, the open again.
Paywall to read anything
app is great when it works. having to constantly login and have the password sync can be a headache at times
way to expensive
cancel the paywall
