Yahoo Finance: Stocks & News App Reviews

179 add

Update really really bad

Newest update doesnt allow you to link to any articles associated with any of the stocks on watch list. Terrible. Absolutely terrible. Period. Will probably delete. Longing for what once was an amazing app. But is now so mediocre.

Hate the recent update

The one feature that I really like was a consolidated value of my portfolios. This seems gone after the recent update. Overall it is pretty hard to read the portfolio page with so many columns. Maybe that can be configured but it isnt obvious. The news is a joke with too many sponsored stories. It makes me not trust any link.

Bait and Switch

Mostly all news articles are links to other sites designed to push their ads. Some sites like WSJ require membership. Done with Yahoo, will use Reuters instead.

Awesomeness!

Great upgrade and free!

Cant add shares

No column to add number of shares in my app?

Bias in News Listings

Quite often when researching recent news on a company through the app it has been my experience that the articles near the top of the list tend to all lean in a given direction. While absolute objectivity is likely an impossibility, the leanings of the top articles are generally consistent to such a degree that one can only conclude that a bias exists in the news listing process. Obviously this is problematic if one is seeking to complete thorough due diligence of a potential investment.

I like the convenience of checking my portfolio, the markets & news with a few swipes.

Yahoo Finance is a winner

Ive been using Yahoo finance for years and having on my mobile devices just takes it to another level.

Yahoo finance

Getting better but a long way to go. Certain share quotes not obtainable. Out of date info on company quotes. Inadequate links. Unreliable

Yahoo Finance

It is my go to financial app for real-time financial market data. Easy to use and comprehend.

Now Its Garbage

This app used to be great. You could easily add stocks to follow, load performance graphs, and see collected news articles related to your chosen stocks. A few moths ago the articles stopped updating in feeds for individual stocks. Now the most recent update is completely non-functional. Not only did I lose my entire list of stocks, but I cant even rebuild it. Every time I try to add a stock, I get an error message. I guess I just have to rely on Vanguard now for both quotes and news. Sad.

Great finance app

Thats it

Broken Update

I have been a long time user of Yahoo Finance. It had some quirks at times but it was generally a useful app for tracking the market and my portfolio. But after the update on April 8, the app will accurately track the market and portfolio values until about 2 hours after market close and then it regresses to the values at market close on the previous Friday. This pattern repeats on a daily basis. The programmers must have had fun with this one.

Inaccurate !

Often does not report the most basic exchange data correctly

NEW UPDATE problem

Although I like the app and the new design, there is a MAIN problem. On your watchlist, when you are checking the chart of a stock, it gives me a new headache: Sometimes when I want search "most active" stocks which I sometimes have already saved but dont know where they are, its easier to put them on the top of the list by searching the ticker and unmarking the fav star and quickly remark it. This way it goes straight to the top without having to search in my endless list. Now, it goes back to the list once you unmark it. I hate that. Let it stay on the chart page for Gods sake.

WATCH LIST IS EMPTY!!!!!!!

For the last two months almost every time I use the app I get the above message! What the hell is going on????

Near Total Failure

My portfolios list by name, but the details are hidden by a large prompt encouraging me to add symbols to my watchlist. Needless to say, the "add" feature does not work. Endless loop of fails. Alas, the app used to work rather nicely.

2 thumps up! Finally got it right with this version!!!

No real time numbers

As above
