A clean, easy tool for analyzing stocks and funds with a large volume of data and a surprisingly generous free tier. People praise the compare feature, dividend info and cross-device syncing. The only downsides are occasional crashes after updates and requests to add brokerage linking.
Praised
Fast access to data on almost any stock or fund, and a handy compare feature. A generous free tier, cross-device syncing, and pre- and post-market portfolio tracking. Clean minimalist design and a fair price.
Complaints
No brokerage link, so shares and average prices have to be entered by hand. Some updates cause crashes. People want stock and fund heat maps.
Best for: Investors who want a reliable source of stock and fund data and analysis without extra bells and whistles.

A long-standing live quote tracker for currencies and stocks that people value for accurate data. The main problem is that after a change of ownership the app got buried in intrusive and sometimes vulgar ads. The tool is still useful, but the ads spoil it.
Praised
Accurate live quotes for currencies and spot markets, plenty of instruments, and a recognizable solid look in the TradingView vein. Fast and reliable for daily rate tracking.
Complaints
After the ownership change ads flooded in, some of them vulgar and out of place for a finance app. There are crashes on certain features and iOS versions, and quotes sometimes lag.
Best for: People who track currencies and spot markets daily and want accurate live rates. Not for those who are enraged by ads and unwilling to pay to remove them.

A solid automated index investor and account aggregator that recently broke its headline feature. The switch to Plaid wrecked external account linking, so the net worth tracker stopped updating on time. The investing core stays reliable, but the wrapper now annoys long-time users.
Praised
Hands-off automated index investing you never have to babysit. Clean interface, performance history right in the app, the feeling that your money grows on its own.
Complaints
After the Plaid switch external accounts update days late or freeze at zero, forcing you to reconnect banks several times a week. The ability to build sector portfolios is gone.
Best for: People who want to drop money into index funds and forget it while seeing every account in one place. Not for those who need to hand-pick individual stocks.

One of the best brokers for options trading on execution and commissions, held back by raw, buggy apps. Every update spawns new problems: zeroed columns, stuck quotes, vanished watchlists. Professionals tolerate it for the execution quality.
Praised: Top-tier options trade execution, competitive commissions, and a clean mobile format. For options, many keep it as their main platform.
Complaints: It keeps breaking after updates: zeros in positions, duplicated trade notifications, stuck quotes, lost watchlists. The iPad app is missing some indicators, and it crashes in active mode.
Best for: Options traders who care most about fast execution and low commissions. Not for those who need stability and deep charting on a tablet.

Schwab Mobile reads easily and suits beginners, and people like the fee-free setup and card rebates. But the app fails at trade moments: it freezes, drops the session before an order, and sometimes shows wild balance errors. For active trading many still move to desktop or thinkorswim.
Praised: Simple clear interface, good for beginners, no fees and card rebates, feels safe
Complaints: Freezes and session drops before an order, gross balance errors, stripped down versus the site, weak charts for trading, transfers cancelled without explanation
Best for: Schwab clients for calm portfolio viewing and simple trades, not active trading

Robinhood is still the simplest way into the market, but order execution fails at the worst moment: the buy button locks during trading halts, and fill prices draw complaints about a hidden spread. People report frozen money after big gains and a painful support line. Still, many praise the ROTH IRA match and the card.
Praised: Simple pleasant interface, fractional shares, ROTH IRA match, easy start for beginners, learning
Complaints: Account locked after large profit, shady fill prices and spread, buy button disabled during halts, weak support, gambling-style predictions in the feed
Best for: Beginners and anyone wanting a simple mobile entry into stocks and options without extra setup

A serious broker with worldwide market access, low fees, and powerful tools, wrapped in an awkward app. The interface is confusing, state resets when you switch away, and ACH transfers land slower than rivals. Professionals stay for the global reach and pricing.
Praised: Access to global markets, low commissions, and a rich set of analytical and algorithmic tools. Reliable operation and strong security once you learn it.
Complaints: The interface is cluttered and clumsy, and everything reloads when you return to the app. ACH transfers post slowly, lifting the PDT restriction drags on, and support is sluggish.
Best for: Experienced investors who need global market access and low fees and can tolerate a bulky interface. Not for beginners after simplicity and instant transfers.

Behind the app is a respected source of stock research and ratings, and people trust the content. But the app itself lags well behind the website: it glitches, hangs on the loading screen, has no back button, and on iPad only supports portrait mode. There's a worrying complaint about a personal-data breach.
Praised: Valuable research, ratings and stock lists from a well-known source. Helps make buy decisions and plan returns in retirement accounts. Easy access to rankings and data.
Complaints: The app glitches, hangs on the loading screen and crashes at startup on some devices. No back button, portrait-only on iPad, and notifications won't open. There's a complaint about a personal-data breach and trouble cancelling the trial.
Best for: Zacks subscribers and people who value its research and can tolerate the app's awkward interface.

A handy earnings calendar: it clearly shows when earnings drop and gives access to call recordings with an AI summary. For anyone tracking fundamentals it genuinely saves time. But sign-up sometimes fails, and some historical data recently moved behind a paywall.
Praised: Earnings dates are clear and in one place, with data fresh even 90 days out. Access to call recordings and AI summaries saves time during earnings season.
Complaints: For some, account creation fails and hangs on the loading screen. The subscription marketing is misleading: the advertised plan is not available inside. Viewing figures for past quarters suddenly became paid. It can be slow and crash during market hours.
Best for: Investors and traders who track earnings and fundamentals and want one clear calendar with access to the calls.

A broker with strong data and free level 2, which people praise. But it lures you with free stocks that are worth almost nothing, and withdrawing money or moving your account can be painfully slow.
Praised: Deep stock data, free level 2, learn-and-earn rewards, handy charts. Good for people learning to trade.
Complaints: The free stocks are worth almost nothing, withdrawals and account transfers drag through a dozen support emails, and funding is limited to costly methods.
Best for: Active traders and learners who value deep data and charts.

TradingView is still the gold standard for charts, and on desktop people love it. But the mobile app disappoints: heavy lag and crashes during trades, glitchy indicators, and a pushy AI chat that won't even let you report a bug. People are especially annoyed by ads on the chart even for paid subscribers and confusion over managing the subscription.
Praised: Best charts and drawing tools, powerful desktop, learning and watchlists, overnight trading
Complaints: Lag and crashes in mobile during trades, glitchy indicators, ads on the chart for paid users, useless AI chat instead of support, confusing subscription management
Best for: Traders who need serious charts and analysis, primarily on desktop

Fidelity is a solid broker, but the mobile app drags itself down: recent updates hide position data, 401(k) figures go blank, and sign-in often breaks with an error. People value the firm for stability and polite support, yet find the interface dated and cluttered.
Praised: Reliability and reputation, polite support, good for retirement accounts, developers respond to feedback
Complaints: Updates hide position data and value, 401(k) stats not showing, frequent sign-in failures, dated cluttered interface, broken auto-investments

A big, serious broker whose app struggles to keep up. People get stuck at login, hit a white screen after updates, and complain that plenty of tasks still require the website or a phone call. If you already keep money here it works, but it brings no joy.
Praised: Trust in the company and its funds, clear portfolio analytics, and an app that genuinely does almost everything a long-term investor needs.
Complaints: Login so slow it can time out, white screen after updates, laggy scrolling, some tasks only on the website, and poor visibility into a workplace 401k.
Best for: Long-term investors who value Vanguard funds and will tolerate a clunky app for the sake of reliability.

A beautiful, long-standing portfolio tracker that slipped in reliability and went paid for the basics after eToro took over. Many broker and exchange connections work poorly or are unavailable, and historical data shows up wrong. People who loved it for years are starting to look for a replacement.
Praised: Great visualization and data layout, handy for keeping stocks and crypto in one place. Responsive support and a portfolio history built up over years, when everything works.
Complaints: Some basic features are now paid, and the app lags or fails to load during volatility. Many brokers are unavailable or connect inaccurately, historical data gets distorted, and portfolio history sometimes vanishes entirely.
Best for: People who want a clear visual view of stocks and crypto in one tracker and are willing to pay. Not for those who need accurate history and reliable connections to all their brokers.

Barchart is a powerful website for analyzing stocks and futures, but the app lives its own outdated life. It has not been updated in years, does not mirror the web features, and crashes about once a week. People use it only because they love the desktop version.
Praised: Rich free analytics on stocks and world markets, watchlists, stocks hitting 52-week lows. No intrusive pop-up ads, which is rare for this category.
Complaints: The app goes years without updates and clearly lags the site: no options, no dark mode, you cannot edit the watchlist. It crashes regularly and needs reinstalling, and Gmail login only works on the web.
Best for: Fans of the desktop Barchart who need quick access to charts and favorites on the go and do not expect full functionality.

A beginner simulator that makes it easy to grasp how the market works without risking real money. But a recent update locked everything behind a subscription and wiped saved portfolios, leaving long-time users with nothing. Data isn't always real-time, and for some people the stock search simply doesn't work.
Praised: Helps you understand how the market works and practice risk-free. Market, limit and stop orders make it feel like a real platform. Works well for beginners, kids and teens.
Complaints: The update made it paid and erased saved portfolios. Stock search won't open for many, the app crashes, and data is sometimes not real-time. Ads get in the way, and the free tier allows just one trade a day.
Best for: Beginners and teens who want a safe market trainer and can live with the paid model and glitches.

A simple tracker for a quick real-time look at your stocks, and for that it is good. But accuracy lets it down: prices on UK and OTC names diverge noticeably from reality, the app sometimes crashes, and some features and articles sit behind a subscription.
Praised: A quick glance at your positions during the day, in a simple and clear view. Many use it for years, many times a day, and value the speed.
Complaints: Prices on UK and OTC names are wrong, diverging from the real market close. The app occasionally crashes and kicks you out. The free version has no indicators or lower timeframes, and some articles and features are behind a subscription.
Best for: US-stock investors who want a fast look at quotes and positions without deep analysis. Not worth it for UK or OTC names.

A flexible penny-stock screener with fine-grained filters that people like for its depth. But the high rating is puffed up by nagging rate-me prompts, and some users see it mainly as a vehicle for ads and sales pitches.
Praised: The screener can be tuned exactly to your needs, there are plenty of filters, and you can build filter groups to narrow down stocks. It's helpful for a beginner and cheap compared to similar tools.
Complaints: The app nags you to rate it, invite friends, and 'buy a coffee.' A blinding white background with no dark mode, it freezes at times when you tap a ticker, and some people view it as mostly a shell for ads and sales pitches.
Best for: A beginner or swing trader who wants a customizable penny-stock screener on the cheap. Anyone expecting ready-made trades or a calm interface free of rating prompts will find it grating.

My Stocks Portfolio is a clean, handy portfolio tracker, but after the iOS 18 update it lost the widget that many kept the app for. People have waited months for it to return while the developers only promise. Without the widget, part of the point is gone.
Praised: A clean interface, accurate portfolio tracking with fees, real-time data, and unobtrusive ads. People run several sector portfolios here for years and consider the app their main tracker.
Complaints: After iOS 18 the widget that was the main reason to use the app disappeared and still has not returned. There is no sync between devices, one case reported losing years of data, and futures are calculated incorrectly.
Best for: People who track their portfolio manually and want a clean tracker with accurate accounting, if they can do without the widget for now.

A social network for investors where you can see what the people you follow actually buy, not just what they promote. People like the transparency and the in-app learning. But few brokers connect, and the rating is tainted by the app begging for five stars in its newsletter.
Praised: You see the real portfolios of people you follow, and the transparency against social-media hype is valuable. The interface is pleasant, with learning lessons and live conversation with other investors.
Complaints: Few brokers connect, with no Coinbase, Acorns, SoFi, or M1, so you enter stocks by hand. Some basic features and dividend insights are behind a paid subscription that feels expensive. There are login and feed-loading bugs.
Best for: Beginner investors who want to learn and peek at other people's real portfolios rather than promo posts, and who are fine with the popular brokers only.

The built-in Stocks app is handy as a quick quote and watchlist tracker and generally runs reliably. What annoys people: nearly every news story hits an Apple News paywall, and sometimes the data is plain wrong, showing a gain on a down market. There is no trading here, only tracking.
Praised: Quick quote tracker, simple clean look, fresh prices and watchlists, instant switching between stocks
Complaints: News behind an Apple News paywall, occasional wrong market data, few customization options, ads and politicized headlines, no share-count entry

A strong platform for reading stock analysis, spoiled by two things. The best tools and the portfolio tracker now sit behind a subscription, and the article comments increasingly turn political rather than about the market. Even people who gripe about the price value the content.
Praised: Deep analysis and many viewpoints, useful quant ratings, well-written articles and transcripts, and real help with decisions.
Complaints: Portfolio tracker and best tools moved behind a paid subscription, comments sliding into politics, laggy data and dividend calendar, and an early-2025 update that hurt navigation.
Best for: Investors willing to pay for analysis who can tune out toxic comment threads.

A powerful aggregator of market data and news, loved for its breadth. But the free version is buried in ads and notifications, and the paid Pro tier doesn't justify its high price for many.
Praised: Everything in one place: quotes, news, analysis. Many keep it for years as their main tool for self-directed investing.
Complaints: The ad before entry glitches and blocks access, there are too many notifications, canceling is murky, and paid Pro doesn't earn its price.

A powerful stock screener with a slick interface and a live AI that answers questions using real data. But the AI signals often lie, and the monetization is confusing: you pay for premium yet each tool still costs extra inside. Notifications pour in by the dozen per hour, and search and filters just freeze for some people.
Praised: A flexible screener, pattern hunting and fundamental analysis in one place. The AI answers stock questions on real-time data, which ordinary chatbots lack. The interface is pleasant and there's plenty of data.
Complaints: AI signals are often the opposite of the actual price move. Each tool is sold separately for hundreds of dollars a year, even after buying premium. Dozens of notifications an hour, search and filters freeze, and cancelling is hard.
Best for: Active traders who want an advanced screener and AI helper and won't blindly trust the signals.

A handy dividend tracker that many have used for years and value for its clear payout calendar. But the number errors grate: it consistently overstates yearly income and muddles dates, and a recent redesign simply pushed some people away while moving features behind a paywall.
Praised: You see your portfolio, payout calendar, and profit and loss in one place. Many have used it for years, and support answers and fixes data on request.
Complaints: The app overstates annual dividends, sometimes noticeably, and gets payout dates wrong. The redesign hid familiar features behind a subscription and made everything tighter and harder to read. Broker sync does not always pick up buys and sells.

The app teaches teens to invest and lays everything out in simple steps. But tying signup to a school list shuts many out, and canceling the subscription or pulling money out turns out surprisingly hard.
Praised: A clear way into the topic for beginners, lots of learning material, a sense of confidence in the first steps.
Complaints: If your school isn't listed, signup stalls. Canceling and withdrawing money drags, looping you to sell stocks again. You pay for basic features.

Finimize gives short, clear market briefs for beginners, but it recently replaced human authors with an AI voice, and that infuriates regular users. The robot mangles abbreviations and dollar figures, and a subscription of around two hundred dollars a year feels steep for news.
Praised: Short digests that get you up to speed on the market in five minutes. Beginners and those trying to understand investing like the simple presentation of complex topics.
Complaints: Swapping humans for an AI voice ruined the daily brief: the robot reads EU as 'eww' and jumbles billions of dollars. Almost everything is locked behind a subscription, the interface is cramped and cluttered, and the font size will not change.
Best for: Beginners and busy people who want a quick, clear market overview and are not bothered by the subscription and AI narration.

A handy screener with a market heat map and a clear interface that beginners like. But most of the strong features are locked behind a subscription, and you can't judge them before paying. The pushy onboarding and the demand to enable notifications to use basic things are annoying.
Praised: A clear heat map and a visual read on capital flow across the market. A friendly interface that makes trading simpler for beginners. Desktop features are available right in the app for options plays.
Complaints: Most useful features are locked behind a subscription, and the value is unclear before paying. Pushy onboarding and a demand to enable notifications get in the way of basic functions. Lots of ads, and people say the premium signals are copied from other sources.

Mobile access to a peer-lending platform where you invest in other people's loans. Experienced users like the auto-invest and returns, but the outcome depends heavily on how you manage risk: defaults and write-offs really eat into profit. The app itself is clearly thinner than the website.
Praised: Auto-invest makes it nearly hands-off, and returns are pleasant for experienced investors. The home-screen widget is handy, and the concept adds diversification beyond stocks and real estate.
Complaints: The app lacks the website's features: filters, a clear income picture, a list of loans. Defaults and write-offs can drag returns down to 1-2%, and funds sometimes hang in pending. You cannot change your bank, and setting an investment amount is clumsy.
Best for: Patient investors ready to lend long-term into other people's loans for diversification and unafraid of defaults, as long as it is not their last dollar.

A simple tool for quickly finding penny stocks among the top gainers and losers. But data updates with a one-day delay, search barely works, and you can't change the chart timeframe. Several people openly suspect that some of the glowing reviews were written by the developers themselves.
Praised: Quickly cuts through the noise and shows top gainers and losers in one place. Simple and clear, handy for daily penny-stock screening. It genuinely helped some people make money on its picks.
Complaints: One-day delayed data, no real-time quotes. Search doesn't work, you can't change the chart timeframe, and images are sometimes broken. Ads in the free version, and some five-star reviews look suspicious.

The app helps you save and invest for your kids' future, and people genuinely like the idea of family gifting. But too often the account stops opening, cancelling a subscription is hard, and support goes silent for weeks. Promised bonuses and gift features are regularly switched off.
Praised: Easy to save for kids, family chips in for birthdays and holidays, and it is nice to watch the balance grow. Auto-deposits and gift links save effort.
Complaints: People pay for months and then cannot log in, with no answer from support. Cancelling a subscription is hard and charges keep coming. Promised shopping rewards and gift features are either disabled or never arrive.

Complaints: People report a blank white screen on login, locked accounts with money frozen inside, and no way to withdraw the balance. The bank sometimes won't link, cash from a sale takes two days, and the promised signup bonus never gets credited.

The idea is good: a screener and tracker for penny stocks with flexible filters. But in practice the app crashes on almost every tap on a chart or stock, alerts don't save, and prices often don't show at all. Lots of ads, and support doesn't respond.
Praised: Flexible filters and a handy watchlist for finding penny stocks. You can spot names near their highs across different ranges. When it works, it helps quickly shortlist candidates for the day.
Complaints: The app crashes when you open a chart or stock, and alerts don't save and delete themselves. Prices often don't display and the statistics are empty. Lots of ads, and support stays silent.

Stash is decent as a learning entry for beginners with auto-investing, but the money model repels: the subscription was hiked sharply, up to 300% for long-time clients, and moving assets to another broker costs around a hundred dollars. People lose account access for months after the Stockpile migration, and the tooling for active trading is weak. For the same money rivals give more for free.

Praised: Pie-based portfolios with percentage control and auto-rebalancing, set-and-forget investing, early fractional shares, and flexibility for a passive investor.
Complaints: Pie save button broken on iOS, invest tab showing blank, transfers stuck for weeks, a 3-a-month fee under 10 thousand, 100 to close a Roth IRA, and weak support.
Best for: Passive investors who like the pie concept and don't mind living with bugs and fees.

Automated investing and savings with a pleasant interface, let down by how slowly money moves. A transfer even inside the app can drag on for days, and funds get held after they've already cleared. Some people waited weeks for their own money.
Praised: A friendly interface and easy investing, handy joint accounts and high-yield savings, ATM fee reimbursements, and years of steady service for some customers.
Complaints: Very slow transfers, up to a week even within the app, funds held after clearing, no way to turn off reinvestment, pushy prompts to add more money, and a mention of a data breach.
Best for: Long-term investors who value automation and convenience over instant access to their money.

A portfolio tracker that used to feel handy but now drowns in ads and has lost features. Some stocks can't be added at all, and data lags or vanishes. Paying to remove ads doesn't always remove them.
Praised: Clean visual tracking of stocks, pleasant look, easy to glance at your portfolio.
Complaints: Many tickers stay missing even a year after the company went public. Positions disappear on their own, data lags, and ads show up even after you pay.
Best for: People who just want to watch a couple of stocks and tolerate ads for the simplicity.

MarketSurge is a strong tool for stock research with proprietary lists and pattern recognition, but the mobile version constantly fails to load data. Lists and charts often will not open without deleting and reinstalling. At this price, that is irritating.
Praised: Proprietary leaderboard lists and chart-pattern recognition help find stocks outperforming the market. People say they became more disciplined and made more money than they would have without the tool. There are watch alerts and chart drawing.
Complaints: Data and lists regularly fail to load, and only reinstalling helps. After updates the sound alerts and list sorting disappeared, there is no dark mode, and the iPad version got noticeably worse than before.
Best for: Active CAN SLIM investors who rely on the proprietary lists and patterns and can tolerate the mobile version's quirks for the desktop power.

Acorns nicely builds a saving habit by rounding up purchases, and beginners like it. But the money side scares people: they report charges after cancelling, being unable to withdraw, and sudden account holds under the guise of review. The subscription eats returns on small balances, and support is slow and glitchy.
Praised: Round-up and auto-saving, simple start, basic learning, motivation to save
Complaints: Charges after cancelling subscription, withdrawal delays and holds, account under review with no explanation, subscription eats returns on small balances, slow glitchy support
Best for: People who want to quietly save spare change from purchases and can accept a monthly fee

A stocks social network where the signal drowns in noise. People come for market sentiment and get bots, strangers pushing coins, and moderation that bans for reasons no one explains. There is useful stuff here, but you have to dig it out by hand.
Praised: A fast read on ticker sentiment, lively discussion and tips, more freedom than Reddit, and a usable free tier.
Complaints: Rampant bots and subscription sellers, spam and fear-mongering, harsh unexplained bans with no support reply, politics instead of stock talk, and the removal of useful features like off-hours futures.
Best for: Experienced traders who can filter the noise and want the crowd's pulse, not ready-made calls.

One of the few iOS screeners that actually works as a screener, and that is its value. But reliability lets it down: saved filters and alerts suddenly vanish, the app crashes every few minutes, and intrusive ads take over the screen. Support often stays silent, even for paying users.
Praised: A genuine working screener with lots of search parameters, a rarity on iOS. Company data is nearly complete and the interface is pleasant.
Complaints: Saved screeners and alerts disappear out of nowhere and notifications stop coming. The app crashes every few minutes and ads cover the screen. Support does not answer even paying users, and data can be delayed.
Best for: Active investors and traders who need a real stock screener on iPhone and can tolerate crashes, ads, and vanishing settings.

A long-standing stock tracker that broke itself with a redesign. Years-long users say in unison that the new version ruined the charts and muddled the menus, and some beg for the classic view back. On top of that, ads freeze and lock the app.
Praised: Lots of adjustable technical indicators, excellent price alerts, a heat map and events calendar, and years as the best tracker for some users.
Complaints: A new version that ruined charts and cluttered menus, portfolio cards eating the screen, wrong index values shown, ads that freeze and lock the app, and paid access that sometimes vanishes.
Best for: People who watch quotes and indicators and can live with a divisive redesign and ads.

A paid stock rating and signal service that charges twenty dollars a month for what many get free in real time. The data lags, the interface freezes, and cancelling is nearly impossible. Its value hangs entirely on the basic buy rating.
Praised: A simple buy rating and fair-value estimate for a stock, plus daily videos with the host. The basic tier pays for itself if you actually use the signals on trades.
Complaints: Data is not real time, and the app freezes and spins during active hours. The price jumped from five dollars to twenty with no new features, and cancelling the subscription is a nightmare.
Best for: Active traders who want a quick read on a stock and do not mind paying for a rating. Not for anyone expecting real-time or fresh data for free.

It gives ordinary people access to investing in startups before they go public, which is a rare opportunity. But many people complain that money gets stuck, shares can't be sold, and support goes silent for years. The app regularly freezes and loses balance data.
Praised: Opens private startup investing to everyone, not just a closed club. A chance to back companies with new technologies and potential upside. Many people like the idea of the platform itself.
Complaints: Money gets stuck in the account or disappears, shares can't be sold, withdrawals drag on. Support ignores messages for months and years, the app freezes and loses balance. Fees eat a meaningful chunk of the investment.
Best for: People ready to lock up money in risky startups for a long time and comfortable with weak support and low liquidity.

After recent updates E*TRADE gets stuck in an endless update-and-login loop you can't escape. Balances break on the main dashboard, much of it still pushes you to the website, and there is essentially no support or way to file a ticket. Even loyal users say it's easier to open the site on their phone than this app.
Praised: Handy for experienced investors, familiar toolset, intuitive navigation for some users
Complaints: Endless update-and-login loop, broken balances on the dashboard, constant redirects to the website, no support or tickets, crashes and freezes
Best for: Existing E*TRADE clients willing to tolerate glitches for the familiar ecosystem

A brokerage app glued to a bank, and clunky for it. It shows your Bank of America accounts and cards before your portfolio, and you have to hunt for the trade button. A white screen after login and weak security turn simple tasks into a chore.
Praised: Integration with the Bank of America app, desktop-level data, solid support for some clients, and a long relationship with the broker.
Complaints: White screen after Face ID login, dated security with no passkeys, banking tabs burying trading, a hard-to-find trade button, slow execution, and shaky iPad support.
Best for: Existing Bank of America customers who care about one ecosystem more than smooth trading.

Stock Alarm does one clear thing, sending an alert when a price target is hit, and some people are happy with that. But alerts arrive delayed, prices for futures and some securities can be wrong, and the subscription advertised at 2.99 a month quietly turns into an annual one you cannot cancel.
Praised: Alerts in three formats at once: push, email, text. It is convenient not to sit at the monitor and get a signal when the price reaches your target. Pleasant sounds and alarm settings.
Complaints: Alerts arrive with a delay, which on a fast market is enough to miss the moment. Prices for the S&P 500, futures, and some ETFs can be wrong and stale, and the list of available tickers is narrow. Canceling the subscription becomes a quest with no reply from support.
Best for: People who need simple price alerts on popular securities and who will carefully check the subscription terms before paying.

The platform gives a retail investor access to deals that used to be reserved for big players, and people genuinely like the opportunity. But the app is glitchy: login breaks, the portfolio does not track, and companies often go quiet after raising money. Selling what you invested is nearly impossible.
Praised: It opens access to early private deals that were previously out of reach. The interface is easy, and it feels good to act as a venture investor.
Complaints: Login and two-factor break, and people lose access to their account and investments. Tracking your companies is hard and the portfolio tab crashes. Companies go silent after the raise, and selling a stake or crypto is almost impossible with essentially no secondary market.
Best for: People who want to try early private deals with small amounts and understand the money will be locked up for a long time with no easy way out.

A stock tracker with good analytics that drowns itself in ads. Pop-up banners freeze, lock the screen and force an app restart, and some are fake virus scares. Even a paid subscription doesn't remove the ads.
Praised: Lots of data and indicators, easy stock search, a good starting point for market research, and a heat map plus events calendar.
Complaints: Pop-up ads that freeze and lock the whole screen, forcing a restart, fake virus banners that scare users, ads that stay even after paying, and steep pricing.

A platform for real estate and alternative investing where money goes in easily and comes out very hard. Withdrawals are tied to the end of the quarter, but in practice stretch for months. Returns are modest for many, sometimes negative.
Praised: A passive way into private real estate, they do everything for you, and long-term holders sometimes see decent annual returns.
Complaints: Getting your money out drags for months and years, the promised IPO never happens, and returns are often below a plain fund. A fee ticks just for having an account.
Best for: People ready to freeze a small slice of money for years and not touch it.

A once-beloved portfolio tracker that the developer ruined. Now a loud, unskippable ad plays on launch, even for people who paid for the ad-free version. Features were cut, the old one-time purchase was devalued by forcing a fresh subscription, and it crashes often.
Praised: Convenient for tracking a portfolio and following stocks, with some people using it for 6-8 years. Easy to edit and view from both tablet and phone.
Complaints: A loud ad you cannot close plays on launch, even for those who paid for the ad-free version. The one-time purchase was devalued by forcing a new subscription, and features were cut. The app crashes regularly and bugs go unfixed for months.
Best for: Perhaps only longtime users who are used to it and do not want to switch. Newcomers should look for a tracker that does not run ads over a product you already paid for.

Automated investing wrapped in AI that promises more than it delivers. People sit flat or in the red for months, hit an unexplained portfolio drop, then struggle to withdraw money and cancel the subscription. The price is hidden until the last step, and withdrawals get stuck for weeks.
Praised: Simple onboarding and a clean interface, beginner lessons, and hands-off automation.
Complaints: Losses and a portfolio that goes nowhere, an unexplained drop unlinked to the market, withdrawals stuck for weeks, a subscription that is nearly impossible to cancel, and the 120-a-year price revealed only after you connect a card and bank.
Best for: Complete beginners who will settle for a pretty wrapper over results, and even then with great caution.

Praised: A simple set-it-and-forget-it approach, learning videos, chat support, and referral bonuses.
Complaints: It charges you while paused, withdrawals don't arrive, the monthly fee eats modest growth, and phone signup hangs without a confirmation code.

eToro sells itself as a social broker, but the main pain in the reviews is withdrawing money. People spend months unable to pull out their own funds, and support replies slowly and formally. Behind the polished storefront hide high fees and restrictions on moving assets.
Praised: An easy way into investing straight from a card, plus a social layer where you can copy other people's trades. Beginners like the low entry bar and the interface that does not scare them off.
Complaints: Withdrawing money turns into a nightmare, crypto cannot be moved freely, and fees are higher than they first appear. The app crashes during market hours, and support only responds after a public bad review.
Best for: Beginners who value the social layer and card-based entry, but only for amounts they can afford to have stuck at withdrawal.

Complaints: Options signals are consistently loss-making, with the owner entering first and broadcasting at the peak. Reviews are extracted under threat of cutting off access, criticism is deleted, accounts get blocked. Spam notifications, a confusing interface, and trouble cancelling the subscription.
Best for: No one putting in real money. At most for the learning materials, but without trusting the signals.

Those who are in complain about slow chart loading, crashes and dropped connections during trades. For seasoned options traders the power is there, but the interface is complex and increasingly trails TradingView and Moomoo.
Praised: Powerful options functionality, free indicators, strong on desktop, loved by long-time users

A CFD trading and betting platform users have serious doubts about when it comes to withdrawing money and closing accounts. People report their account suddenly closed after trying to withdraw a profit, and trades flipping from gains to losses during reconnection glitches. There is little to like and plenty of risk.
Praised: Fast, same-day withdrawals and an easy entry into trading for beginners. The demo mode helps you learn how the market works without risking your own money.
Complaints: Accounts get closed after an attempt to withdraw a profit, and trades flip from gains to losses because of forced reconnections. The chart lags and glitches, the seventy-five-dollar minimum deposit is high just to try, and the data is unreliable.
Best for: Maybe people who want to poke at demo trading and grasp market mechanics. Not for those funding real money and expecting to withdraw it freely.

Firstrade is a convenient commission-free broker, but the app regularly locks people out of their accounts. At the worst moment it drops the connection, and a person gets stuck in an open trade overnight. When it works, everything is fine, and that is exactly the problem.
Praised: A simple, clear interface, fractional shares, bonds and funds to compare. People praise it as the easiest platform to learn among the ones they have tried.
Complaints: Constant login problems and dropped connections leave a person locked in a trade with no account access. There are no conditional orders on mobile, no options-spread grouping, and the new design hid the cash balance several screens deep.
Best for: Those who value commission-free trading and simplicity, trade at a calm pace, and can tolerate the risk of not getting into their account at the crucial minute.

A social copy-trading app where pro portfolios promising hundreds of percent go into the red for real people. The app forces a full sign-up with your SSN before showing anything useful, and the best portfolios are locked behind a subscription. Frequent complaints about losses and hard withdrawals.
Praised: The copy-trading idea itself appeals, and for some users the app starts making money. Support responds and helps resolve issues once a case is escalated.
Complaints: Advisor portfolios promising hundreds of percent drop tens of percent, and trades lag the market by forty-five days. It demands SSN sign-up before showing any value, and withdrawals and cancellations are painful.
Best for: Maybe people who want to try copy-trading with a small amount and understand the risk. Not for those who believe the advertised hundreds of percent or worry about access to their money.

An app that copies famous investors' trades, like the Pelosi portfolio, through your broker. The idea grabs you, but the broker link breaks constantly, the paid access breaks right after you pay, and many picks go into the red.
Praised: A tempting idea of copying big players' trades, a simple start, and decent early growth for some users.
Complaints: The broker connection breaks and won't reconnect, the $150-a-year paid access breaks right away, portfolios drop in a rising market, and you can't log in from a new phone.

An AI stock signal service that charges around fifty dollars a month and, by users accounts, reliably leads to losses even in a rising market. The news feed really is fast, but the paid recommendations rarely get praise. For a mere two to four signals a week the price looks steep.
Praised: The fast news feed, often ahead of major events, appeals to users. The free version with a daily ticker looks decent as a taster.
Complaints: The paid AI signals lead to losses for months even in a bull market. Fifty dollars a month for two to four signals feels like robbery to many, and paid features disappear after UI updates.
Best for: Maybe people who just want a fast news feed and do not mind spending to try it. Not for anyone planning to trade on the paid AI signals.

Billed as a simple investing app, but the real reviews are frightening. People say money was debited without explanation or simply stolen, and closing the account and getting funds back takes months. The 18+ age gate is hidden even though the store lists 4+, and teens are promised investing lessons and then locked out.
Praised: Fast setup and easy bank linking via Plaid. A clean look and a set-and-forget idea. For some people the setup went smoothly.
Complaints: People say money gets debited or stolen, and closing the account and withdrawing funds is blocked for months. There's no phone support and emails go unanswered. The 18+ gate is hidden behind a 4+ storefront, and the app hangs at login.
Best for: Probably no one, given the complaints about vanished money and blocked withdrawals. Definitely not the teens it's marketed to.

Morgan Stanley's Stock Plan is an app people use not by choice but because their employer runs their shares and options through it. Login constantly hangs after 2FA and pushes you to the desktop for tasks that do not exist. Half the functions still have to be done on the website anyway.
Praised: For those it works for, the app shows a basic portfolio overview and its current value. Simple viewing without clutter.
Complaints: Login hangs after the 2FA code, the account gets locked regularly, and the app kicks you to the desktop for tasks that are not actually on the site. Key actions like scheduling a sale or viewing trade details are unavailable in the app.

The app sells a paid subscription on the promise that you will hear about breakout stocks first. Reviews say the opposite: alerts arrive late, the stock spikes for a minute and then falls all day. They take your phone number before you even get in and then spam you.
Praised: Some people like the news feed and catalyst breakdowns, and a couple say they made money on individual trades.
Complaints: You pay to lose money: alerts lag and stocks crash right after the spike. Installation demands your phone number and then floods you with spam you cannot stop. Everything useful sits behind a subscription while free users get a hollow shell.
Best for: Honestly, nobody. If you want market news, use a plain news aggregator without paid signals and without harvesting your phone number.

A penny-stock screener with AI signals where almost everything sits behind a paywall and the signals themselves are deeply suspect. Users catch the service editing entry and exit points after the fact to make past trades look like wins. Ratings are inflated by empty five-stars and prompts to rate before using.
Praised: The persistent alerts and information delivery appeal to some day traders. As a starting point for beginners it looks clear and tidily designed.
Complaints: Nearly every feature is paid, and a purchase panel covers the screen the moment you open it. Signals are retrofitted to favorable prices, real accuracy trails the ads, and cancelling or getting a refund is hard.
Best for: Maybe curious beginners willing to peek cautiously at penny stocks. Not for anyone planning to trade these signals with real money.

Stock Scanner Screener AI promises AI signals, but behind the subscription there is often emptiness. People pay and the premium does not unlock, and getting support's attention back is nearly impossible. The app is buried in upsells, and there is no transparent data on wins and losses.
Praised: Some free-version users say the swing ideas hit and the signals were sometimes accurate. The AI scanner and sentiment feed appeal to some as a starting point.
Complaints: After payment the app keeps demanding a subscription and does not grant premium access, and support is unreachable. Signals arrive delayed and already stale, filters cannot be combined, and there is no transparency about real results.
Best for: Perhaps only those who want to look at the AI scanner as a concept for free, but paying for a subscription here is risky.

Paid trade signals at $199-299 a month, where the claimed accuracy is propped up by fudging: losing trades get quietly erased and small percentages are stacked into a pretty number. Canceling the subscription is nearly impossible, charges keep coming, and support stays silent.
Praised: A few people praise the occasional winning swing signal and say that with a large portfolio they covered the cost. There's a free Monday signal to size it up before paying.
Complaints: Losing signals get deleted after the fact to make the track record look successful, and three stocks each rising 3% is presented as a 9% gain. Canceling is nearly impossible, charges keep hitting, support doesn't answer, and nagging pop-ups pile up before renewal.
Best for: Honestly, almost no one. Maybe someone with a large portfolio willing to verify every signal by hand and tolerate the charges. A beginner or anyone who trusts the claimed accuracy can easily lose money here.

Morningstar Investor is a big name in analytics, but the app is stuck somewhere in the early 2000s. It goes years without updates, login constantly throws an error, and key features like X-Ray are simply missing. For a paid subscription, people expect far more.
Praised: The rich fund data and ratings that people come to Morningstar for. On the desktop the analytics are still strong, and simple quote checks in the app do work.
Complaints: The app goes years without development and clearly trails the web: no portfolio X-Ray, no stock intersection, no dark mode, buttons that do not work. Login regularly throws an error and forces you to sign in again, and Face ID cannot really be set up.
Best for: Morningstar subscribers who need quick quote checks on the go, though serious analysis still has to be done on the desktop.
About scores
Two scores — two sources
They help compare apps, but they don’t replace checking your own job.
Review score · up to 100
The stored score from inApp research on review texts. It rates the app overall in the archive, not the reliability of any one feature.
Store rating · up to 5
The rating from the app’s page when the data was collected. The current rating and version may differ.
In the archived sample for this topic: 73 apps and 28,130 reviews read. That is the total size of the research, not the number of reviews per app.
A gap between the scores doesn’t prove manipulation. The calculation date and the full scoring method aren’t in the mobile archive. Compare the job descriptions and the source quotes, and check the terms in the current version.
