Yahoo Finance: Stocks & News 4+

Yahoo Finance, I don’t know runs this division of Yahoo. Your all awesome at Yahoo Finance! All divisions of Yahoo as well. Excellent web site! Easy to navigate. I like the immediate news and subject editing. Serious well documented writing and editing about global facts and subject matter on most corporations domestic and international. Complex subjects are broken down for readers like me to get the big picture. Thanks for your response. Thanks Truth is a difficult commodity these day, not at Yahoo Finance! I’m not a good reader. I rarely give reviews in corporate review requests. I always give reviews for service like tradesman, troubleshooter phone techs, billing specialists helping bogus charges on an account. Thrush is. Over the years when I’m looking for a simple stock quote? Yahoo Finance keeps my interest until I’ve run out of time to continue reading. Not just about the stock quote I looked up but about that company and it’s about fact after fact, story after story. Best is Yahoo Finance stories are fact filled, easy to understand and lead to opportunities. Thanks again to Yahoo Finance, a team of teachers, Mule

Hi Mule, Thanks for letting us know! We also appreciate the five stars!-BR

Hello: First and Foremost thanks for the great financial app. You are my home page for over a decade now, so that should tell you I kind of like you. we do need to discuss a couple things. The “news stories “ that are just subscription demands are a real downer. They are NOT demands from Yahoo, but from the authoring company of the story. You really do need to require those to disclose we will learn nothing more by clicking on the story. I cannot imagine anyone giving them money after such a mean trick, anyway. I realize these are not Yahoo’s ads, but it IS your site and you can require disclosure or cessation. I was going to say something about stock comments. But we have all pretty much got used to the rules and do not run afoul of the monitoring program very often. And as I am teaching young nephews about stocks, I thank you yet again for making the talk much more family oriented! Really when one thinks of all the content, the fact there is but one irritant says a LOT positive about Yahoo’s Financial Section!
UPDATE: When a giant firm like Yahoo takes the time to read and respond to a review , that says they have not forgotten who creates their business ! It also earns that fifth star!

Thanks so much for sending us this great feedback. We have noted it and will be exploring further. Thanks! ~ Yahoo Finance Team

Update. The new changes make the comments section even worse. The mute button is now gone! This is moving in the wrong direction. The mute button was great because it allowed individuals to decide who they didn’t want to hear from without affecting everyone else. It would be a lot better to add an unmute feature than to eliminate this feature entirely.

The way this app handles reporting of abuse is an affront to free speech!! Please fix this problem! A lot of great posts are being deleted. Some users are apparently flagging the posts using the “Report Abuse” option which seems to delete those posts for everyone. Here are some suggestions to fix this problem… 1) Users should be able to mark another user as a “trusted user” and if that person’s post get reported as abuse, everyone that trusts that user should still be able to see that post. 2) There needs to be an option for a user to “Hide This Post”. Being able to hide posts a user doesn’t like, instead of just the Report Abuse option (which affects everyone), or mute (which hides ALL posts and not just the one they don’t like) would probably decrease this behavior because it would give people an individual choice to clean up messages they don’t like. Related to this, it would be great to “Show all Posts” for a specific user in case a post is hidden by accident.

We're really sorry to hear that you're disappointed with our app :( We have noted your feedback and will be exploring further. Thanks!
