Didn’t work
Love the podcast, but the app purchase didn’t work and I had to request a refund like everyone else says.
I tried….. big miss here Bill

All around not functional
It doesn’t work online or the app, having to call again to get refunded because I still cannot access anything, it does not bode well if they cannot have anything work correctly then it appears that they are into just getting money not providing the service so this makes me question their investing also…not a rise together scenario
NEW VERSION
Where is the new version, dam it?
The app use to work well
I’ve loved using this app to help me invest in stocks that were in favor with the market, but last 6 months I get a water down version that is maybe 50% of the raking of stocks. The app skips from #1 to 27 to 86 ranked stock in stead of sequential order. I’ve reached out to Apple and Bill Gunderson the creator of app and no response. So will be canceling as soon as the monthly subscription is up.
Poor app
Works for about a week then doesn’t recognize you. Site is good but better approached from the internet than with this iffy at best app.
DOES NOT EVEN DESERVE A STAR
This app boast 5500 stocks- maybe 500 show after paying 9.99. What a rip off and a smear to this mans name. Sad
Smart guy, horrible app
Warning. Check your email confirmation if you order this because that’s the only place you can cancel and avoid the automatic monthly renewal - tick tick. There’s virtually no user account management functions, many of the links are either broken or just trying to get you to upgrade. (Note to Mr. Gunderson: this strategy would probably be successful if you threw the $10 a month curios investors a bone, but this crappy stale and hard to navigate app says nothing for what we’d get if we signed up for $89 a month). The presentation media is from 2013 and it’s a bit heartbreaking as I listen to Bill religiously every morning and for such a serious guy who’s supposed to be detail oriented, this app is a literally a joke and looks like it was created by a 5-year old.
The app is worthless piece
It's simply way for author to talk about his book
Gives you nothing unless you $
Thumbs down
Dwyt
Terrible app. Don't waste your memory. Info is unsupported. This is just a lure to get you to pay for another service or app.
Underwhelmed
Not the full version, but failed to give me a reason to pay for full version.
Not what I thought it would be!
Unless you pay $9.99, $49.99. or $89.99 for the monthly, six month, or 12 month subscription, this app is worthless! If you want limited information from the author of this app find him on twitter @billgunderson. I think he also has a radio show...books etc.
Shady
You should use yahoo finance or seeking alpha for information. Self proclaimed prophet.
Worthless self proclaiming app
This app is completely worthless.. The fact that 7 users reviewed it so high is "suspicious" .. All this app really is a advertisement for his book and website where he gets random comments and users to day say great he is.. If he is good or not I don't know but this app is worthless at best and shady most likely chalk full of phony testimonials of how good he is..
New app looks better. Very buggy
Not sure how it works. Always get the spinning symbol waiting. When it does work it doesn’t find many stocks. Different searches return different results
Bill needs to find better developers
The old app was ugly but it worked better

Info is Great, New App Won’t Let Me recover password
The information provided by the app is excellent. However, since the latest update, I’ve not been able to log into my account and thus decided to cancel my subscription. There is no way to recover a password when bought through the Apple Store and I have not received any sort of feedback from the company. Disappointed.
$90/month
Thanks for making this unadorable, greedy much?

This app DEFINITELY needs an upgrade to this decade.
Ug.. I’ve seen the preview, it’s not for me
BSN app used to be great.. not only has it been un-useable for over a month. But the preview on the web site looks terrible.. I’m out.
An update 4/21/2022:
Well, as a long time user of this app, I thought I’d give it another look now that it’s finally out and sadly, I must report it’s far worse now than I thought it could ever be. The screens shown here still show a few of the old BSN’s views.. it looks nothing like this now. The new design is now terrible, and almost childish on an iPad. I find it’s impossible to sort by any specific data type or field and it’s very frustrating to use it now since for every stock listed it throws a ton of mostly irrelevant data in your face but it’s almost all just that.. noise. There are no charts, or trend lines nothing but numbers that you can’t use or sort. It’s terrible.
It’s very disappointing, I would much rather get a .CSV file with the actual raw data and be able to sort it myself.
I wish I didn’t have to be so critical. I know Bill and Doug wanted to give us something great.. I listen to Bill’s podcast daily and get his weekly newsletter but this version of the BSN app is terrible.. I’d much prefer it as it was where I could see simple lists of dozens of top stocks on a sorted page.. not this meaningless drivel.

Solid information, horrendous app.
Tried to subscribe within app. Access was not turned on. Ability to manage account, obtain support within the app is virtually nonexistent. Had to call PWStreet and talk through it. I was provided temporary access and suggestions that subscribing via the website would work out better. I don’t want to subscribe via the website and I want to use the app and I want the app to look like it was created with a recent app building skill set and not a moderately skilled 10 year old in 2004. C’mon... but a little effort into the app and stop making it so hard to subscribe! I suspect that effort will pay off many times over in short order. For now... I’m out.
