MarketSim
doubtful ratingA market simulator for risk-free practice where you can get the hang of buying stocks. It teaches visually, but the ticker list is thin, prices sometimes drift from real ones, and the pop-up ads look unsafe.

About the rating
This is a learning simulator, not real money, which eases some concerns. But there are many complaints about intrusive, unsafe pop-up ads that antivirus blocks. Praise reviews are often short and childish. The ads and the gap in review quality raise a flag.
