★★★★ Jasen Cole 5/6/2026 v7.76
Get rid of game ads
Sick and tired of the same stupid ads.
★★★★ Sail_and_Ski 5/1/2026 v7.75
Awful Ads
Full screen ads that block everything and can’t be skipped destroy the experience. This is the only App I have ever used that makes it completely useless while a 60’second commercial / Ad rolls on. Great underlying product.
★★★★ mb238t 4/24/2026 v7.75
News feed Blocked
The news feed is blocked.
★★★★ Orod2905 4/14/2026 v7.75
Ads Too Intrusive Now
I’ve been using the free version for a long time now but recently they’ve begun really intrusive ads that you can’t close until you let the whole ad play out. I can’t bear it anymore so good bye to you!
★★★★ OMMerk 4/14/2026 v7.75
Stop bugging me for a review
I think the title says it all. Bunch of needy people.
★★★★ A 16+ year loyal user 4/1/2026 v7.75
Users Beware
Bogus Apple virus infection notification going around on Apple devises. I get one every day
★★★★ Harpnslide 3/19/2026 v7.72
Wretched, add monitoring and awkward charts ruin an otherwise decent effort.
Ads pop up with a blaring volume, and many of the advertisers represent gambling like non-serious approaches to invest investing, revealing who the target market is
Also, long-term charts are very awkward to handle hard to zoom in and look at key turning points making this much more awkward on a phone screen then on a larger iPad.
The ads have been an issue for years and the app sponsor shows no genuine willingness to address that issue.
★★★★ HiltonDC 3/10/2026 v7.71
Lifetime
I bought the app many years ago for a lifetime deal and they didn’t give me a lifetime . Now I am getting comercial and limited access to information and can’t port comments.
★★★★ Adam77gq 2/23/2026 v7.70
Ads are out of control
Would pay for a monthly or annual subscription if it was reasonable. The November update screwed so many of us that rely on this app!
★★★★ AT17343 2/17/2026 v7.69
crazy pricing
too many ads and premium is way overpriced
★★★★★ navinxj 4/13/2026 v7.75
YTD performance
They used to be good. But now ads hijack complete sections. Went to Market News it’s on loop with Advertisements you will never see News.
Placing advertisements is an art and this app doesn’t know how.
★★★★★ Vago 13 3/16/2026 v7.72
Annoying ads
Minimal free market news and difficult to bypass annoying ads.
★★★★★ bobbyrezz 3/13/2026 v7.72
Too many annoying ads
Would be great if not for all the annoying ads
★★★★★ EaseUpOnTheAds 3/9/2026 v7.71
Good App, Relentless Useless Ads
The app is useful and easy to set up. But the incessant ads detract. A few pop-up ads are understandable. But the same ad popping up virtually every time I look at the app? From sound clown touting a single stock? Shame, really…
★★★★★ thinkling 3/3/2026 v7.70
Unusable without subscription
Less than 30 seconds after opening the app, you have to watch a video ad that goes on and on and doesn’t have a skip button. The subscription is $200 a year.
★★★★★ Chili in the sky 2/25/2026 v7.70
Please eliminate the pop up ads.
Pop up adds annoying!
