Awful
They will send you 300 notifications an hour with limited options on how to filter. If you pay for the app, the app doesn’t become the paid version. Instead, you have to toggle to a page within the app app to access the paid app. I tried to cancel it and it won’t let me.
Freezing app
The app freezes every time I look at a stock.
Total scam
Don’t even bother wasting any miney on this app these fools charge you for every little signal service and the data they provide is totally wrong especially the signals the give . When it tells yu is bearish it goes up and when its bullish it tanks . The community it self around it is a bunch of arrogant kids who like to talk down on everyone who seek help . My advice to you if you want to day trade simply look at patterns everyday notice how the stock moves on pump n dumbs you’ll notice 3-4 tries to go down n same to go down . I made more doing options on my own then looking at these dumb signals they got wish I can upload photos to show ya
Non stop notifications and upgrade alerts without a way to stop them
This may be a good app; but since installing; I get about three notifications per hour on my phone and watch.
Some for relevant market news; countless sales pitches to upgrade certain things within the app; many questions about “ what do you think regarding this or that “
Looking through all tabs, screens, settings and personal profile; there is not a single way option to filter any of this out.
I understand a sales pitch is necessary and par for the course; it is offered for free with upgrades … but I have not been able to use the app yet … without getting frustrated by all the noise.
It has just been non stop ads and alerts … at night, on thanksgiving, over the weekend …

Bait and switch essentially
The app is confusing and doesn’t really come with any tutorial. You still get nonstop ads for premium, even if you pay for a certain service. And every single additional tool is another hundred dollars/year. It’s kind of ridiculous, you purchase “ premium” thinking that you’re getting access to all the tools in the app and in reality you only get access one and then get nonstop ads for the rest as you’re trying to research stocks. This app may have been good 4-5 years ago (as evidenced by all the reviews) but with the abundance and advancements of AI now, I’m sure there is better, and cheaper out
There.
There.
Garbage
It does this, that, infinity and beyond. Oh that feature? That’s an extra $25 a month. To get all the things that advertises that it does will cost you about $120 a month. Take that money and invest it instead.
Where’s Webull?
App seems great! Supposedly you can sync an account to the app. It clearly says Webull is an option. It only gives you four accounts to choose from. Why would you tell me I can sync Webull but after downloading the app, it’s not even listed?
Not M4 compatible?
Works on 9th gem iPad but not iPad Pro (M4)
Ripped of my money without confirmation for one year subscribtion
I downloaded the app and didn’t find it well, then removed and cancelled my subscription two days before free 3 days trial finished but by chance one day which I was searching my account for a transaction , I found out the amount of $109.099 yearly subscription had already been taken from my account. I send email but rejected, I think the owner is in pinch of money that rejected my dispute for refund!!!
TOTAL SCAM BEWARE
This app is a scam. I signed up for the three day trial and they instantly took money from my account! Do not use this app! The app charge individually for each subscription these Chinese people are wvil and scamming people BEWARE! Do not purchase this. Even the trial give u access to nothing but asking u to pay for more inside subscriptions this app need to be reported
Subscription Gone
Hi there!
I had Magic Signal expiring Jan 2025 and Peak Seaker expiring Dec 2024. Somehow the app asked me to log back in this afternoon, and i did. The issue is that the two subscriptions above are not available unless I subscribe again. Is there a way to restore the purchases?

Fraud
They said that I got a 3 day trail so I activated it and when I did they try to charge 120$ but my bank canceled it be aware it’s a scam
Data is incorrect/off and customer service is slow
As a stock screener it does an ok job showing you gainers and losers, and often shows gainers that other screeners miss.
Thats about as far as its usefulness goes. The actual stock price and percentage gains are often incorrect, or too delayed to be useful.
They hold paper trading competitions that can even be hosted by users. Some competitions have stated that they offer real stocks to the winners. But the paper trading also does not work correctly, and can easily be exploited or you could be doing well but because the app is so glitchy, your actual gains are not correctly reflected in your position. They attempted to make the trading somewhat realistic, where stocks have to be available for transactions. But what that means in their paper trading is that you often cannot buy or sell a stock at all, unless theirs a certain amount of volatility. Thus you really cant practice or simulate trading very well. Customer service also becomes unresponsive as their engineer team allegedly works on issues for over a month with no success or even update on their progress, when issues are clearly brought to their attention.
It is also unclear how their AI actually works. Their AI often selects stocks as bullish that are really bearish and remain so for months, claiming to have something like 28% more accuracy than other indicators, and yet its often inaccurate. Some of their screeners are days behind.
All of the premium features are rather pricing. They’ve split their features into multiple packages and none of them offer anything thats more useful than following Bollinger bands, ATR, and RSI.
Maybe its fine to download just have top gainers and losers. Otherwise nothing else is really worth it.

Don’t waste your money on the fake app
This is a totally fake app. It asked you to subscribe but it has tons of functions inside the app that you cannot use unless you pay more. It’s ridiculous that they can use 1 app to provide over 10 subscriptions. Don’t waste your money.
Removed 👎
Even after you take premium version they ask you to take so many other subscriptions within the app.
I lost everything
This app doesn’t work. I lost $180,000 dollars thanks to this app
Fraud. Please be carefull
This app is of no use. just media noise. no one can gain anything with this program. complete fraud.
Non-existent CS
I downloaded the app and was very interested in purchasing some of the apps paid options so I called the customer service number with a few questions. Never got to a human and my call got disconnected every time. So unfortunately I will probably not be purchasing anything from a company that I cannot get a hold of the CS department by on my first handful of tries.
What happened?
The app that downloaded to my iPad looks nothing like the screenshots. The fonts are oversized and the menus aren’t even the same. The stock screener only shows a blank page with Chinese or Japanese text. It’s awful.
Completely broken
App has been broken for sometime now on iPad. The UI is jumbled up and not sure if this is gettin maintained anymore, uninstalling
Good app
They ruined a good thing with update where can i get old vesrion
Non-functional
Worked the first time I created a screener but now won’t do anything at all except promote a different app entirely which lacks the functionality of this app provided.
Stockzboy
Glitches are annoying. Screener doesn’t work for me
Never works
Constantly freezes
I want to give 5 stars, but …
I believe in leading with bad news, so if you make it through the ‘Cons’, I have also listed ‘Pros’ at the bottom.
Cons:
1) As requested in the app's Play Store description, I did try to reach the dev through the app's Feedback form, however its email field has a 30 character size limit and my email address is 31 characters. If they replied to my inquiry I will never know.
2) I tried to reach the dev with the app's chat feature (reachable from the feedback form). I got an auto-reply from 'Eric' instructing me to add his Whatsapp number to my Whatsapp. Unfortunately I am not one of the billion+ people who have not read Whatsapp' s privacy policy, so I guess I won't be chatting with'Eric'.
3) Related to the second issue, Whatsapp is required to participate in the "Ideas Chat Room".
4) There doesn't seem to be a functioning method of adding screen results to watchlists. There is a button labeled "Add to watchlist" which presents radio buttons next to each stock symbol, but selecting some of those radio buttons doesn't add anything to any watchlist. This is the original issue which prompted me to reach out to the dev.
5) I have to restart the app after viewing 2 or 3 charts. When trying to view a 3rd or 4th chart I get a persistent little spinning globe, at which point I have to restart the app if I want to see another chart.
6) In my first few minutes of using this app I bought the dev "a cup of coffee", however this did not reduce the frequency of the "Buy us a cup of coffee" pop ups.
7) Another annoyance: You can view some'Premium Watchlists' if you get a friend to install this app using a link provided by the app. I did so and could view the premium watchlists until during the course of troubleshooting reinstalled the app. Well, okay, reinstalling the app probably deleted all of the data stored, right? Wrong. My attempted chat session with'Eric' is still there, after reinstalling the app. Only my ability to view the premium watchlists is gone.
8) No 'Help' button.
9) I am a very poor speller, but something about "Globle News" doesn't look right.
10) The link to their privacy policy takes you to 47.104.186.24 which appears to be a server in the Shandong region of China. I wouldn't normally care where it is hosted if there was an actual website at that address. The problem isn't that the website is down, the problem is that the http and https ports are closed -- meaning that someone has gone out of their way to block access to anything resembling a website at that address.
Pros:
1) Clean, easy to navigate interface.
2) No Ads
3) Every feature I want in a stock screener. If they worked I would be willing to pay a $4 or $5 monthly subscription or buy them 'coffee' on a routine basis.

Buggy always get stuck while searching
Unreliable very buggy, can’t search for any stock without it being stuck on a loop, not worth it.
Buggy
Had to delete and redownload repeatedly just to add criteria to searches. For some reason the app is unresponsive after deleting criteria.
“Paywall” higher
The app now locked notification history unless u refer to a friend lol
Slow speed or to much delay in stock price! Can not track a stock price!!
Thanks
Poorly built
I keep clicking on build screener and nothing happens. Very poorly made.I think it's more like a toy for kids rather than adults
Doesn’t let you build a screener
Doesn’t let you build a screener like it says you can
Make it work in landscape mode
This should be an easy fix Ainvest FinTech, Inc.
Not working ! Whatever I select it keeps spinning
I tried my best to get this app run by clicking on some of the features to see if it something works but unfortunately nothing worked. Whatever I click it keeps spinning for minutes and does not fetch any data. I also contributed coffee $4.99 for this app and now I really regret if nothing works.
Development team - Could you please shed some light the issue I am facing.

Ticker loading is sporadic at best
Let me first start by saying this app has everything I would want, wrapped up in an amazing UI. But for me, it is hardly functional because searching for any stock, such as SPY, results in a loading screen that will not end. In short, the watchlists are great but beyond that the search function does not work at all
Won’t let me build a screener
When I first downloaded this app it would let you build a personal screener now it won’t. And I shared it so I could get full access but it is still not working.
Meh
Worked great for about an hour, after that I couldn’t select any criteria to search for. I thought that maybe the app was blocking me until I made a donation, made the donation and no change.
