Stock Master: Investing Stocks 4+

Just OK noe

Here’s what I wrote before. “Lots of great stock info, all you need to make good trading decisions. Works for me.” Now. While the app still has good and useful information, someone, in their infinite wisdom, decided to include ads. I’m not against ads but these ads are disruptive, persistent and block the whole page, interfering in what the user is trying to do, in the middle of what they’re trying to do. Nothing good comes out of frustrating the user, such as this downgraded review. A better option might be to place the ad when the user opens the app, or upon closing it. Another option would be smaller ads at the bottom of the page, or at the top, which might be time limited, or at least out of the way. Hope the developers pay attention to these reviews. As for me, I’ll be looking for an app that is useful but less intrusive. Note. I changed my rating from 5 stars to 3. I’d like to give 3.6 or 3.7 to be fair. Hope the devs fix it.

Much improved. Ads are visible but not intrusive any longer. Still has lots of useful stock info. I’m happy again. Back to 5 stars. Hope it works for all.

Substantial App with loads of Market Intelligence

I have given up on the app…the money and time I invested in it continues and the more I depend on it the more frustrating it is. I have gone several days depending on other resources (that consistently work without rebooting, clearing memory, etc) and feel much more relaxed. I have a 9 month old iPhone 12 Pro Max and no problems with any other app but this. The developer has shown me that 97% of the time or something this app works, it feels like it works for me 3% of the time and crashes the other 97%. Now even the extreme steps like flushing memory or rebooting the phone don’t guarantee app stability. The developer seems like a stand up guy and I have appreciated his responses but the problem is far from being resolved.

If you are a hobbyist, primarily invest long term, or data isn’t crucial, give it a try because it will probably meet your needs. Otherwise you should be aware that aside from stability there is no afterhours data (except for last transaction) and without upgrading to real time data for $5 more a month more you really can’t depend on the information. Despite paying for lifetime, another $60 a year for data for an app that is unreliable is like using hope as a trading strategy! I am moving on and dumping this baggy.

Really wish I hadn’t been patient thinking the app return policy was 90 days. Let my loss be your gain - there are plenty of other fish in the sea.

Zero Stars!!

STILL ZERO STARS!!!
You responded to my review about non-stop ads, saying you fixed the ad bugs, asked me to update the app, and update my review. I don’t know what you think you fixed, but it WAS NOT THE AD PROBLEM. You fixed nothing. YOU STILL DESERVE ZERO STARS. But thanks for pretending to fix your problem.
Zero Stars is what this app deserves. No app is worth the amount of time it takes to sit through the ads that highjack my phone. The ads aren’t a few seconds long, they last a couple of minutes. And don’t try to exit out of the ad, it will start over from the beginning. I loved the app until recently. Then someone at Stock Master thought it was a great idea to bombard the users with irrelevant, repetitive and long ads. The smart move would have been short ads related to finance and investments. I understand free apps need advertisements, but not first grade word search games. Your app users are intelligent, provide smart advertising. I now get my info elsewhere. The liked everything about the info on Stock Masters, and its setup, but not enough to sit through an afternoon of silly advertisements.
