Real Vision Reviews

Been a subscriber for years and it’s become clear there is no interest in making the mobile app any better than a few bug squashings. Hard to take the platform serious if you cannot take mobile serious. It’s disappointing as there are some greats guests from time to time but getting farther & fewer in between with a growing focus on crypto. Sad to see as this was once a great source of content.

Version 4.0.0 is a bust, mainly over lost features and Silly RV cosmetic decisions.

1. The thumbnails on the home screen take 30-40s to download on WiFi before you can see anything other than grey lines. On 4G, I haven’t been able to load RealVision at all. I don’t need the thumbnails at all! Just a list of titles and participants, etc.

Scrolling down takes another 10-20s per time I move my thumb.

2. RV removed player controls, like speed of playback. This is an essential feature.

3. The upgrade deleted all my saved content, that I haven’t had time to listen to yet, and RealVision is so dysfunctional I can’t go back and look for it again.

RV should consider a hard revert, and should stop spending so much time on cosmetics, and a lot more on testing functionality.

The new announced functions in 4.0.0 may be good, if I ever get to use them, but the player controls were more important.

The lates update has made RealVision nearly unusable. None of the issues listed below existed previously.

1. Audio plays over Bluetooth briefly only to disconnect. My Bluetooth device (which I will add works fine with every other app on my phone) then mysteriously disappears from the selectable devices in the TV app.

2. Video and audio playback does not remember ones location. One must screenshot their position in order to return for a subsequent listening or viewing session.

3. Downloads speeds are inconsistent and overall much slower than they were previously.

4. Navigating away from a screen while downloading seems to (inconsistently?) stop the download entirely.

VERY irritating to have such a poorly tested version of software pushed to production. I am strongly considering unsubscribing and would if not for the high-quality content RV provides.

I just subscribed and the content is good - however, if you close RealVision the downloaded audio file doesn’t continue to play - adding this functionality would greatly enhance the experience so that I can listen while I run or switch to other apps without having the audio stop. Please consider this improvement.

Real Visions content is great, but RealVision is not. It’s clunky to navigate. It needs to be better divided in sections with a menu bar on the left. The video player is terrible. You can’t minimize the player while you do other things on the iPad (like you can with Netflix, Prime, Xfinity, etc.). There’s also not a time slider... just a stupid fast fwd or rewind button.
Great content guys... please improve RealVision .

While the Content is great and I love what real vision has put out, RealVision needs a lot of work as there are bugs everywhere and constantly popping up. The tvOS app doesn’t work at all either so it seems no attention is being paid to any of the Apple apps as the last update was four months ago.

Almost everything is great about RealVision . There are two issues however:

(1) The option for audio only is missing . It should allow for audio only in the background when the screen is locked .

(2) The option to hide locked content is missing . The content that a lower tier user cannot watch is taking valuable screen real estate. And thus making the searching for video very confusing .

Great content for anyone even particularly interested in financial media that’s not coming from bull side only CNBC or Bloomberg.

Thanks for a good app - PLEASE make this better by allowing for minimized playback of your downloaded vids or audio. Multitasking is what so many of us do. Can have this open/playing but cannot do anything thing else on phone/iPad while in use.

Extremely high-quality content on a wide range of economic and financial topics. Constant rate of production and uploads. Top-level thinkers. What can I say other than that I am an EXTREMELY satisfied subscriber.

I like the content that RV is providing. However, I’d appreciate RV to support the PiP function currently available on both iPhone and iPad Pro. That can help me enormously by watching my favorite shows and do other things simultaneously. Please consider supporting this!

The content is already top notch. The new version of RealVision is sleek and modern, and most importantly, seems to be working just fine. Well done developers!

PS. I wish you haven’t removed 1.75x speed option, but I can forgive the offense :)

My Podcasts are my media ecosystem. I subscribed to real vision because that had an excellent podcast and I wanted more content similar to the podcast. The issue I ran into is that I consume my content on the go and this platform is designed for people to sit down and watch it. I don’t have time for that and the podcast has become irrelevant. I saw RealVision on my phone and realized I was no longer engaged with the platform at all. It’s unfortunate that I can only cancel my subscription in April 2020 and I can’t end it sooner. Overall content is good but it isn’t delivered in a manner that works for me to consume.

It is incredible that this extremely high level advice is now affordable for the average investor. Real vision has changed my entire outlook. Being able to download video and audio for offline access at the gym or driving is perfect. I can’t recommend RealVision highly enough.

Update: Good to go now! Problems with subscription update were corrected.

Assessment: The content on this platform is fantastic! No joke, it’s content that is great for those who want to get REAL insight and learn about investments, financial markets, economy and/or ideas on what to do with your retirement money.

A MACRO VIEW OF HOW THE FINANCIAL WORLD IS UNFOLDING SINCE THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISES.

IT’S YOUR MONEY AND IT’S ULTIMATELY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO INVEST AND SAFEGUARD YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. You could leave it to the “professionals” and hope for the best. Hope is not a strategy in my opinion. Make the effort to FIGURE OUT HOW TO POSITION YOUR INVESTMENTS.

This content is about in-depth conversations that are NOT a sound bite and very unlike TV/Cable shows that are totally clueless on how to inform people about investing and finance. IF YOU’RE INTEREST IN LEARNING AND RESEARCHING HOW THINGS WORK IN THE INVESTING WORLD, THEN IT’S OVER THE TOP WORTH THE MONEY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE TIME.

There is literally nothing else like Real Vision. If you’re even remotely serious about understanding finance and the global economy this is one of if not the best resource available. I use it for some investing decisions but it’s also a source of news because I feel like I’m getting unbiased information about what’s happening in the world. Keep it up Real Vision!

With the little money I had as a college student, I paid for a subscription before prices were this low.

With what I have learned from three great minds on RVTV, I am a better human being with a greater appreciation that it's not all about the money. Life balance is what it's all about.

Though it helps that I've made my money back many many many times over :)

You really can’t beat the tremendous value of Real Vision. Hearing directly from fund managers and the researchers who work for them is one of a kind ridiculous access. Just hearing their takes on investments, economic conditions and opportunities that exist all over the world is greatly valuable. You’ll never get this kind of information and candid discussions on CNBC or other commercial media that’s for sure. I love these guys.

Content is great. Others have written much, and I agree that the content is five stars.

I’m rating RealVision here, not the content.

App gets one star because it is only a value-add for people who have the time to sit down and watch it on their phone’s screen.

Users should be able to download the audio version of a show or interview and both play & control it from their lock screen while their phone is in their pocket or on an armband, etc.

I paid over $1,000 for my RV subscription and am a demanding customer. Please update the functionality of RealVision to something that more closely resembles the technology of the 2020s. I’ll be overjoyed to give it a five star rating at that time.

Grant & Raoul should be given a Nobel prize for such a magnificent concept that they have developed to bring the Worlds greatest Traders, Financiers & other incredibly interesting people to pass on what comes across at least, as authentic and really genuine discussions on everything to do with these subjects, by two of their peers, not journalists.

With so much superficiality around in the World, it’s a rare treat to have a front row seat with these in depth dialogues.

Wonderful Work Guys, you have a very dedicated fan here, I just soak in the knowledge mana and bliss out.

It’s simple. The team, industry relationships and afresh take and finally a rebuttal to the old wall. Weijan Shan, former professor at Wharton and the manager of a private equity fund. Was one of the best interviews of getting started in finance. There is some deep thinking and not everyone agrees with each other. RV also has singlehandedly created the best financial platform and community anywhere.
