DISCLAIMERS
Rapunzl is a simulated investing and personal finance education app. No real money is traded, and competitions are for educational purposes only. Scholarships, not cash prizes, are awarded in select competitions. Rapunzl is not a broker-dealer or investment advisor. Users under 13 cannot create accounts; students aged 13–17 may participate with teacher or parent supervision. Competitions are not affiliated with Apple.
I’ve used and adored this app for years. In the beginning, I made like $100 (and cashed it out) almost immediately. Then it became more saturated by what I assume are bots, plenty of users making the exact same trades at the exact same time, down to the minute, profiting the same amount, and it was harder to win. Then, last week, I got a new phone and can no longer even use the app. It says my ID doesn’t exist after logging in/attempting to buy a stock or gives me an error (pct change?). I love this app and the concept but even if I could use the app again, it’s one more great thing overtaken by bots or people who’ve learned how to game a system.
User interface could be better

Great app overall. I really enjoy trading pretend money in a very real environment to help learn sound investment strategies. The one thing that annoys me is that I can’t find where it shows simply how much money you have invested in a company at the current time. It shows the highest amount you’ve had but that’s it. You have to do the math yourself. The amount should be the first thing that you see with each company that you CURRENTLY have invested.
Best app to learn stocks

This app is awesome!! My New Years resolution was to learn more about the stock market and trading, and Rapunzl has already helped with that. The interface is easy to use, they offer really simple and interactive educational quizzes and mini lesson modules, and there's even weekly/monthly competitions where you can win cash prizes if your portfolio performs the best😱😱😱where was this when i was in high school?! This is a great way to learn trading without any of the risk. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to learn stocks.
Favorite app

I love this app it’s so sick. It’s better than any other finance tool I’ve ever used and I learn so much every week. I never even won a prize but it’s still so fun to like be in the mix you know? It’s wild fun to invest and not have to stress bout losing money. I wish you could do fake options trading on this that would be ill. This is amazing you should def download because it has all the information and competition along with the community to be a powerful resource for anybody learning about how to trade stocks and equities on the internet.
