As soon you login the app it’s going to feel very cheap.
Even with the high end phone this app is always slow. Portfolio screen is so small that it is useless. And that ad - loan against mutual funds is so irritating. Definitely very cheap developer and designer.
Aggressive and intrusive cookie policy
Deleting the app
No advantage- MoneyControl Pro
Being a Pro member, we always expect no annoying ads in the application but the ads get bombarded after every 2 comments in the message section. Even the website has the same issue.
Utter waste of money. Don’t waste your money.

Lots of Ads even for paying subscribers
The Money Control app has way too many ads even if you’re a paying subscriber. In addition I get too many notifications which dilutes the value of the important news.
There isn’t any option to customise and reduce the notifications. Many of the notifications are ads for webinars.
The notifications and ads degrade the value of the great articles and news content being put out by the money control team.

App doesn’t work on iOS
Too slow and unresponsive during market hours and too many ads...
Ads overlaying navigation links
With the recent upgrade I am unable to Home Markets Portfolio links on the bottom. The advertisement layer overlays these buttons and cannot click them. This is forcing the user to click the ad and generate income which is not right. Please get this fixed as it is very inconvenience to navigate. I am using IOS and running the latest version of MC app
Update: 18 Aug Inspite of providing screen shots as evidence the developers are not showing any interest in fixing this known issue. Follow-up emails sent are ignored. They are forcing users to click on their advertisement to navigate within app which is unethical.
Updated Sep. The issue still
Persists and the links are still inaccessible due to the advertisement overlay. Many reminders sent to support team and just one response this will be fixed in next upload and so far no change. I do see there was a release two weeks back and this issue still persists. This means you don’t want to remove the advertisement blocking links and want users to press them for you to earn revenue. This is not a good practice.

Tooooooooooo many ads
Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooi muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ads
App blocked when vpn
Why in this world a news app block access when your device connected to VPN 🤣
Please enable landscape mode for iPad
Very inconvenient to use on iPad due to lack of landscape mode and lack of screen rotation. Why is it so difficult to enable this feature? Multiple users have requested this simple change but it seems that the moneycontrol team refuses to address this App issue.
Well deserved position in Worst Apps
Not at all user friendly. Too many ads, subscription auto pay details can not be found easily
Liar
This app offers ₹300 Rupee cash cards in pro I redeemed all of them but not received in my account I approached their customer support but zero response
Why sign in is mandatory?
Why did you make sign up mandatory. I use app to check overall market, nothing specific to stock
The new version is slow and too selling
The new version is slow and is constantly trying to sell. I bought the pro version. Not worth money.
My portfolio page just doesn't seem to open.

Expecting better content
Need some unbiased content at least for pro customers
Terrible
Keep crashing. Using latest ios and still.
Bad privacy and app experience
New forced policy to accept privacy invading user policy to use the app is unacceptable.
Properly not working
Properly not working if we open the app immediately automatically closed
App crashes when scrolling down
App randomly crashes as soon as I try to scroll down on the home page. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but does not help
App crashes
App crashes when I open Indian/global indices. Tried removing the app and reinstalling, but no luck
Worst user experience
Recently this app changed the settings that users outside India need login. Now I tried to reset my password and I am not able to. When I click the link in the email which is sent for reset password, it redirects me to a login page. Worst experience!!!
New UI at launch is not at all good. Waste of time
The new UI at launch which shows moneycontrol and the list is distracting and waste. Remove it for paid members please. We know what moneycontrol is and need not see it at every launch. I would discontinue using Moneycontrol if this continues.
For new and free members, do what you want.
Thank you

App is crashing on ios 16.
App is crashing with in few seconds f opening the app.
Unable to login using my Google account
I am unable to login using the Google account. But the same I can do in another browser in windows.
Annoying ads
Thought to try this app to watch market and guess what, the very first page Ads and so on. Full of annoying ads.
Existing vital information / data is removed
Hi though new UI is good but existing information which was available is removed 52 week high / low details are removed UC /LC information is removed Management information is removed In mutual fund tab also 52 week high/low was removed long back . All the above information is important for the investors to investigate before deciding to buy or sell any stock or Any Fund This is like MC want hide information from the user. The app is useless without these vital information as I need to go to other sources to checkout these details. I am aware you will reply saying we will review but will never enable those removed information as they are vital for users but not for MC team.
Aap is copying clipboard data
I noticed the app is copying data from clipboard.. this should be fixed
Too slow and buggy
It used to be a very good app, until they implemented the paid version and advertisement. I am not sure what is the experience for paid customers but I have stopped using the app from daily basis to checking once or twice a month. There is still not an equivalent in the market and the ET app is still not very user friendly. There is a lot of lag and performance issues even during off-market hours.
Great Content, poor user experience
Superlative content, so you definitely have to use it but the user experience is very poor - random crash, will not remember history and it’s simply annoying beyond a point.
Hopefully it works better on your phone.

Unable to use the Pro Features
I had subscribed for the Pro features by paying the annual subscription through iTunes. However, every time I press the pro button to avail the Pro features, I am led to the payment window. I tried the restore option too but I get the message ‘Unable to complete purchase’ when I am already subscribed. Have been contacting their support but have received little to no support. If I could rated anything below 1 star or 0 star, I would have done that.
App not working
Search button not working
Be careful guys
This app is trying to steal your clipboard data!
Everytime I open this app it says monecontrol pasted from notes (or any other app I copied something from) why do you guys need our clipboard data. This is so wrong. If the app developer is seeing this you need to fix this asap! Until then please uninstall this app guys no need to use it

Horrible, unreliable & piece of crap
For a financial app, it’s not reliable for keeping your portfolio information safe & secure. Which is the worst you could do for a financial app. Lost years worth of portfolio data. Support doesn’t respond. Not even acknowledges that they received your complaint. Terrible.
Ad
Too much of ads
Good app but has privacy issues, why it’s copying my clipboard?
Try this, write something on notes or any other app, copy that and then open this app, you will get notification from OS that money control copies from that app. It is a privacy issue. I raised this issue on Twitter to their official handle, did not got any reply from them.
Buggy and freezes
Lot of bugs in the iPad version. Does not reorient to landscape and can only be used in Portrait mode. Freezes for no reason and has to be restarted. A lot of actions require to open the desktop version so not all functionalIties are present. Most annoying is the constant popup to give a rating. Well here it is zero.
Infested with ADs
Please clean up the ADs as they are all over the content. Most of the ADs are irrelevant and just occupying the screen.
Spies on your data
Every single time I open the app, it peeks at what I have on my clipboard, which often includes passwords for a lot of people. Thanks to iOS 14, they have been caught in the act. Don’t download this app, unless they remove it.
Either way, the app is horribly optimized for the iPad. Just 3 columns in the Portfolio view is a terrible use of the large display of the iPad.

App keeps crashing

One Star is for Pro Campaign
Really annoyed with your pro campaign.. even the user who is PRO subscriber gets this alerts now and then ... your developers can do better... App contents are good 4Star ... Promotions are really Pain ...despite being PRO user
Complicated - couldn’t login simply
Bad experience
Unable to open
Open and close all the time . Like auto close in 2 seconds
