This is the default stock app for tens of millions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac users and it’s existed for the iPhone for well over a decade. It once worked great up until a few years ago but now has major bugs that are infuriatingly bad. Many reviews document the bug where the stock list jumps up or down 5-10 stocks or more as it refreshes. So annoying and it’s been going on for well over a year. Now even worse is when the stock list refreshes with the wrong prices. From the day before. The market will be down and the list will refresh and jump up in price going from red to green or visa versa, the market will be up and the stock list will refresh and it will go from green to red. You can tell when it’s happening if you’re paying attention and it eventually will correct itself but it’s incredibly frustrating. Also the app has been painfully slow when it loads charts of stocks. It takes forever when you click and load the chart for a stock so you can see the trend in the stock chart for the day and you move from stock to stock in your list. Sometimes it will load and sometimes it will take longer or load a chart from the day before (it’s 9:30-10am and you get a chart showing 4pm the previous day). This really needs to be fixed so it’s actually useable in a timely fashion. After all we’re trading stocks not loading fantasy football scores. Time to move on from Yahoo Finance for data. Apple has the $ to use another service since they’ve clearly outgrown this one.

I enjoy using this app to see where stocks are and the changes throughout the day.One thing I really have liked is the news aspect of this app and how you can tie it to Apple News.It’s quite simple of an app and doesn’t have an option for very in depth looks at any of the stocks but provides a good overview.The use of being able to create many watchlists is an awesome way to separate out various symbols.There are three things I would like to see the developers include going forward.1. I wish there was a place to attach notes or thoughts to each symbol allowing for ideas and aspirations at a quick glance.2. Stock notifications. Both the ability to see when a new article comes out on a stock and being able to set notifications to come through when a stock hits a certain value so I can get a simple notification on my phone rather than waiting for an email to come through from my brokerage.3. With ties to Apple News I wish I could thumbs up or thumbs down articles to influence what I get recommended and what I see in the news app. Overall I enjoy this app as a overview of what is happening in the market and how well it works on my apple devices.

Follow markets and stocks prices in real time. Create your own watch list. The news sources are limited. This app does not use professional trade publications. Instead, this apps media sources are more of a paid advertising model. Most links are from a source that requires a paid subscription to read the bland article. Instead of allowing the sensationalism of the article headlined to draw you in, take notice of the authors listed in the posting. An article with less than 100 words may have as many as 3 co-authors. Why? You will also notice plenty of A.I. generated content. The few media sources Apple is using do have political biases. NPR is not a media source for investors or traders. Other N.Y. / L.A. media souses this app uses are legacy brands that used to report Elvis Presley spottings decades after his death or offer proof of little green men from Mars visiting Earth. Tabloids won’t help you make financial decisions. I use this app to understand how markets and trends can shift sentiment without any justification. I use other sources to help make financial decisions. If you want to be an investor go to the website of the company you wish to learn about. Don’t forget to research their competitors as well. Research and more research will help guide your decisions to future success. Good luck.

I’ve been using this app to track my stocks, and the markets in general, for years now. Been an outstanding tool until a recent update that contained a small tweak, that has been a major nuisance to my use of the app now. Prior to update, when you were in any given stock’s main profile/info screen, the default view at the top was always the current real-time price. Listed with that price, was always the current day’s price change for that stock. That information was static and wouldn’t change when you selected different time periods for the bar graph. THIS WAS PERFECT.After the recent update, the real-time price still stayed the same as you manipulated the bar graph settings. However, now the price change figure changes to match the time period selection you make for the bar graph display. THIS IS NOT GOOD. Please revert back to the old way of this stock price and price change info being displayed, as it was much better to see the same-day info while manipulating historical data with the bar graph function. Seems like an insignificant change, but really it has hindered my ability to use the app efficiently and has become quite annoying for me. At the very least, create a setting where the user has a choice to have that same-day info remain static to the current day, or toggle it so that it can follow whatever time period selection is made with the bar graph function.
