Guess I cancel subscription
Keeps crashing .. no support .. money is paid
Before making payment for subscription I was able to open and as soon as I paid and restarted to take the subscription shows up, the app is not getting loaded and keep crashing. Sent support message but no response. Not sure how to get refund for my $200 amount
Sucks
I keep getting charged but nothing downloaded and no response to my inquiry and no helpful from Apple. Scam
Trial
If you want someone to renew there subscription you have to show and give a signal tomorrow if you think I will be renewing and how many pop ups during the free trial Sheeesh
Falsely claims 9% gains
When 3 stocks increase 3% each, this is NOT a 9% gain. It is 3%. If you continue to falsely claim these gains, we are prepared to file litigation for these false claims.
This is 100% scan
I can't beleive after so many negative reviews app store allows this nonsensical app to sell… Shame!!!
Never signed up
I never signed up for this, yet somehow I was charged by this app not once but TWICE! Wake up in the morning to see 2 charges of $897.99. This is a fraudulent charge and I am disputing it through my credit card company. I won’t be paying for a service I never signed up for.
Fake
Alert, after stocks going up. HaHa. There is no supervision.
Their advertising scam
Stock Alerter offered a 7 day free trial. To enact the offer and download the app for the offer, you had to double click for payment. If it was clear that I was going be then charged for a month of service, I wouldn’t have signed up to get the promised 7 days free. To date, I have not received any reimbursement for the $211. Do not download this.
Try to cancel
I have had this for 2 years and are now trying to cancel it and am having no success. This really seems to be a problem. At the end of the subscription it automatically takes your money. I never write reviews but this seems to be necessary. Watch for that
Don’t Buy
The app has very low returns - don’t believe them. They never include any losses in their returns.
Losses pile up trust me.
Losses pile up trust me.
Not in this Market
This app would probably be good in a bull market but in the bear market that we are in now I prefer to rely on my market reach. I paid the yearly subscription and I regret it everyday.
Basically investing to pay off the monthly fee
Literally $200 a month or $900 for a year subscription with this app 😂😂 yeah nah
I beg you
Please I beg you go not fall for this. In 2 months I did everything they said and lost 29k. Thus app is a SCAM so please save your money and stay away from this. Also, have I mentioned the worst customer service ever… if you are lucky to get to talk to somebody, the person sounds like he is in high school and knows nothing about stocks and trades.
Maybe not 1 but….
So disappointed for the price I thought would get something good here most signals don’t hit mark if do takes weeks months but if u invest every signal u will loose a lot or hold a lot sorry for the bad review guys but step it up or something
Scam
It seems that the only criteria for their “stock picking algorithm” is that the stock is currently falling and you just hope it goes back up. If you actually honored the stop-losses that they set, you would lose your whole stock account.
None of the given signals reach the destination. All lies

Scam - “unlimited alerts”
I discovered this app had been siphoning $11 a month from my wife for almost a year for “unlimited alerts”. During that time she received ZERO stock alerts.
In a year where meme stocks like GME and AMC ripped, where EV stocks like TSLA made explosive gains, and many stocks doubled or more, this app didn’t give one single alert.
Even after she deleted the app, she was still being charged $11 per month. I didn’t discover Taplistics’ shenanigans until I was doing an annual review of our finances.
TLDR; Scam app. Avoid. Unlimited Alerts = No Alerts.

- Charged without my consent
Still waiting on the developer to refund my money. I was charged without consent. There isn’t a number to reach out for customer service.
App crashes
Hey Almost from the past 1 month I am noticing app is getting crash as soon as it’s launched.
Worst customer service and silently deleting loss signal
Worst customer service ever experienced.
You open a case and they would not respond for weeks and even after reminders.
If you open another case then they will make excuse that they can’t find ok’d case and just stalling responses.
They are silently deleting signals when it goes red trying to show only profit making signals. Over 50 signals open with deep red losses ranging 50%. Now how do you buy on new signals. They recently had one signal for CTXS which went deep red on earnings and they silently deleted it and sent another one.
Big scammers. My case is still open for months now and no clear response.
They would try to get your review deleted to hide what they are doing.
Stay away and you would be happy.

Don’t waste your cash
I had it for a few months lost a lot of cash on top of the 200 a month charge
Do not get
They will not respond to you. No support at all! I trusted there signals because the app was so expensive. Do not trust there signals. I’m down 50k and really upset and no one will respond to my messages. Do not pay for this crap. Use ur money to learn. Just a terrible app
Too expensive
$211 per month is too expensive for this service and I will discontinue shortly
Garbage
Pay, pay, and pay. Kinda worthless honestly. Also, not much good data you can’t get free a lot of other places. I wasn’t going to pay 900 to see what they have to offer…. Dumb
Scam
1-Downloaded app. & Paid $200 for subscription. 2- Followed the alerts as long as recommended 6-8 weems. 3- made 3% on some recommendations and lost as much as 20% on the rest. 4- Total loss $1300 5- Deleted the app.
Fake Reviews and a scam!
This app’s reviews are littered with fakes. Some even use the exact same typos and language. For example, look at Jean Male’s review on 3/30/20 and Gigyuuiui’s review on 4/2/19. Amazing that it “exactly suites for my requirement” on both reviews….
Apple should ban this app.

Bad signals and wrong claim of profits.
I paid a full year subscription for this app and the signal are all fake/bad. My view is - They are just creating random alerts hoping the market will automatically help.
70-80% of The trades are NOT profitable.the ones that are profitable are 2-3% gains while the losses are huge anywhere between 5-75%. They claim that it takes 6-8 weeks to hit the signal. And their are stocks which are 75% down since February. I understand there is a stop loss. When it reaches the stop loss and reverts back… they claim it a success and if it reaches lower the stop loss they expect us to hold or sell at stop loss. Wrong claims and probably makers of this app have no idea.
Please don’t subscribe to this app. I would want my money back on this.

Made me lose money
Made me lose money, I bought some stocks at the price that they said and they went down, and I lost my money
Watch YouTube better
At first I was excited about this app but quickly became disolucióned with the app, yeah it gives you signals for many stocks but half of the time they are not correct, many times it takes longer for the dip and turn to happen by that time you already lost your money, take it I did not give it enough time maybe did not study it enough, but the results I got from it were not good. Maybe the lesson here if you are going to try this app or any other app, really give it the time you might need to learn the app, nothing is easy and there are no short cuts, good luck guys!!
Scammers!
Lied about giving 50% off first month promotion and then charged full price. Then I tried to cancel and they still charged me for the following month!
Such a waste of time
Don’t believe this app
Ugly and Pointless
For starters the app looks like it was designed in 2009. Poorly designed UI that looks borderline comical. On top of that, you can only set up 1 alert before they require payment. ONE alert before this app suddenly becomes a $3.99 app.
Horrible app
Once they start sending alerts to your phone, they don’t let you turn off in the app. So they just bombard you with info you don’t want with no way to control. WORSE than spam. Annoying.
Rip-off. Fraud. Down over $17000 on their recommendations.
Update July 7th, 2021
This is how bad they are at swing trading. Nasdaq and S&P have hit record highs and my 5 other trading accounts are at record highs. However my Stocks Alerter account is down 22% for the year after following all of their recommendations. This means Stocks Alerter is lagging the market by 36% (since it’s up 14%).
DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR STATED RETURNS OR ANY OF THE FAKE REVIEWS ON THE APP STORE. EVEN WITH ALL THEIR FAKE REVIEWS THEY HAVE AN APP STORE RATING OF 3.9. THAT SAYS IT ALL. STAY AWAY.
I paid $899 and am down huge. This company is a fraud with false advertising on their returns, with fake positive reviews on the App Store, and is absolutely atrocious at swing trading. They mention pro traders but pro traders are transparent, have actual names, let you engage with them, have social media accounts and channels and post under their names - liars Their swing trades are terrible and take well beyond the 4-6 weeks they promote and most of my holdings with them are well over 10 weeks and even 3-6 months and still down 50%, 60%, 70%! They are terrible stock pickers, chartists, and quants. Stocks Alerter is absolute junk. Markets are up and setting record highs and I’m down double digits on their signals. They paint a constant calm and positive spin on everything and never acknowledge their misses. Do not fall for any of the false information they are putting out like I did. Steer clear. They will put out an alert and that stock will immediately drop 5% or 20% and sit like that for 6 months. They promise a call or video chat - liars (I scheduled 3 different FB Messsenger chats and have asked multiple times for a video chat vie their app and got zero response as of May 3rd) - liars They marketed 4-6 week swing signals and just changed all their messaging to 6-8 weeks - liars They have been wrong over and over on stalwarts like AAPL, TSLA, bank stocks, chip companies, DOW, NASDAQ. I can’t say enough how bad their swing signals are and how constantly wrong they are on their entry prices and then dollar cost average recs. Pro Traders? Name one you fraudsters.

No free version
Very expensive with no guarantee it will make me money
Charged per Alert
You charge per alert so basically its scam garbage run by degenerates
Too expensive
Too expensive
Too Pricey
200 package and 900 package is too much for stock alerted. I use another app and it’s only 15 a month and gives great results. This app is just a rip off.
So bad
They don’t even let u do anything with saying u have to pay 100 bucks
Useless.
Just need notifications on particular stocks. Doesn’t allow you to turn off “announcements” where they shove useless spam in your face 10 times a day. Uninstalling, and defecating on this developer’s desk.
Crazy
Insane. You want me to pay $800 a year or $200 a month for an app I don’t even get to try out and see if I like can’t even explore the app hardly without the subscription popping up. Not gonna pay that kind of money without getting to see the full effect of what I’m paying for
ARE YOU STILL ACTIVE ?
Cause I payed and all I see is old transactions
Spreads fake news.
Today got alert about AMC being rise being over..and what’s the next “meme” stock to invest in..and for this I am uninstalling and leaving this review.
Subscription For Everything!!
They have a subscription for absolutely everything! I downloaded this app with the intentions of doing some research, but I’ve come to find that you have to pay a subscription to even be able to look a ticker up - this isn’t it.
Overpriced Much?
$200/MO!!!! Are you high??!!
Violates App Store Guidelines to not advertise itself in notifications
Getting constant notifications telling me to subscribe, which violates the App Store Guidelines. I’m surprised Apple didn’t catch this.
No way to use free
I just want something to check stocks on but this app gives no way to do that or even try it out without paying. If there is a fee way, it’s not obvious. Deleted app.
Reviews are fake
I read the reviews AND I can tell you they are lying by copy pasting reviews to and from Play store.
So I can not trust you guys with my manager money if you cheat in the reviews.
