Stocks+ app 12+

The app has serious stability issues over the past few months

Update on 5/5/23: I’ve updated my stats to 5 stars. The developer reached out and the latest update has hopefully fixed my issue. I love the simplicity of being able to track my stocks, including my # of shares and cost basis. Super easy and I haven’t found another that does so with such simplicity. Looks like a few usability issues were also addressed - such as adding my holdings. Much easier now.

I used to love this app. I liked that you can add your stock basis as well as number of shares and see daily and total gains. However, the app has been randomly deleting my stocks. It progressively has gotten worse. I guess it’s time to find a new one - but I’ll use the simplicity of this one. I gave two stars because if it didn’t randomly delete stocks, it does exactly what I want it to do :(

Not user friendly, clunky, confusing

This app has one good feature that the apple stocks app doesn’t have - you can add your cost basis and number of shares. However, they make it so clunky and difficult to actually add that info that I’m actually debating with myself whether it’s easier to just pull out a calculator and figure it myself. If you have a static portfolio that you will never change, it’s probably worth spending the 30+ tedious minutes it will take you to get the info into the app, but if you’re trading regularly, forget about it. While it does link to my Fidelity account and pull my holdings automatically, it doesn’t pull all of the info, so I have to enter everything manually anyway. There are so many confusing screens and options that it looks cluttered, and the icons and options are not very clear, which means I end up wasting lots of time clicking into screens that I’m not looking for. The Apple stocks app is so easy to use, why can’t someone just copy that and add a couple of features and call it a day?

Very handy, but could be better!

The EASE OF USE factor is wonderful! Getting the latest information on a stock is a Big Plus too.

BUT the interface is frozen to three panes, full information on a stock takes needless time that wastes your time. It needs a clear change to its interface that is displayed in a with a screen-wide pane for a ONE STOP DISPLAY of a stock’s data - listing of shares when purchased, their value change, purchase cost with dates, in other words a comprehensive screen. Just doing this with the far right pane that contains the chart could probably work. AT THE MOMENT ITS A SECONDARY STOCK APP with Yahoo’s my primary.
