VectorVest: Stock & Investment Reviews

by TrentVano

Did a free trial. Looked at the highest rated stocks, made a list and 10 days later they hadn’t done any better than random chance. Didn’t cancel in time, got charged. You can’t cancel unless you WRITE A LETTER or call by phone. Okay I called by phone twice and had been on hold for an hour the first time waiting, about 35 minutes the second time. They make it difficult and inconvenient to cancel. They basically force you to call to cancel so that they can try and convince you not to, by offering a free extra month or something. Their recommendations are no better than chance from what I can tell. They’re over a hundred dollars per month. Many of these reviews on VectorVest Store seem fake. Very unhappy with Vector Vest, strongly recommend to avoid.

I check your App everyday, for example you guys put the sign for market in the morning bullish and then 4hrs later change it to bearish! it doesn’t make sense to me at all!
I know the market is currently not stable but when I trust you guys and buy stocks with bullish signs in the morning then 4 hrs later when the market goes down I loose a lot of money then you change it to bearish. If you guys are in this business for a long time and professional, you should give more reliable guidances to your users. Also I noticed you mention for some stocks and recommend to buy it but it goes down and I loose a lot of money as I bought it per your recommendation!

They will not cancel the account even if you want to and it’s not easy, they have charging my credit account for the past 3 months ($137/Month) though I have cancelled it before my trial period ends, I called customer care and they said that you have cancelled via the mobile app but not desktop app which does not make sense, why I have to cancel it on both the apps (mobile and web)??? also their guidelines and alerts about the stocks are useless, this is absolutely not a good company to rely on, stay away from it!!

This has been the worst customer service I have ever experienced, you can’t even get a password reset that actually works. You send them an email and get an email back and no one ever resolve your issue nor they try to reach out to call you. You call them and you’re on an indefinite hold and you leave your name and phone number and no one called you back. You try to call them on a Friday before Easter and the entire staff has taken off, if they want to run a business they need to be open when convenient for the customer. If they’re looking to do this as a hobby then they probably should pick something else to do.

Although the software itself is unique and VectorVest is easy to use but there is a flaw that turned me very upset about it.
If you create a portfolio and suddenly you got delivered an option that has a price different from the current price, VectorVest will not allow you to enter your own price. It only ask you how much you want to spend and it will apply the current price. The other thing is that the screen in iOS will hide half the entry form which means the developers never tested this feature to predict how annoyed users will be in such a situation.

Found VectorVest and it has great information about stocks. Also, I love the sugestión to buy, hold or sell. I give the 3 stars because of the educational videos don't teach anything new about stocks. Also, I could not find many symbols because I chose Canada vs the US. Canada is the market to invest now, but still, want to see US stocks. Finally, the stocks prices are not as timely as Fidelity has different values than VectorVest. With a few improvements, especially education VectorVest has great potential. Note even fidelity educational videos are not teaching anything new or valuable at the moment to make selling it buying decisions.

Try to register account but get lock up at the next button several time.

Update: installing a newest update on my phone, still have the same problem. Found out that I use automatically general strong password causing the issue.

VectorVest is okay to use but nothing special for pay monthly. But VectorVest give you more stock to choose and invest. Anyway you need to do research and pick your own best stock. Nothing is set to make money, stock is risk but try to low your risk with your own experience.

I have been a subscriber for several years (5+). And I rely upon the mobile app as I am an Apple Mac desktop user. I only own a DELL with Windows because of the need to get to the desktop version of this app which has ALL the features.
While the mobile app continues to improve, I MOST MISS the market timing graphs — especially the enhanced Protrader DEW timing chart, the ability to add parameters (multiple moving averages) to the stock graphs, and the ability to add to or sell part of a portfolio position. Those are what I do the most on the DELL, which is a slow boat to nowhere computer that constantly frustrates me (I used Windows at work from it’s invention until I retired in 2014). So these extra enhancements to the mobile app would be great. Otherwise, the mobile app is a total life saver.

The this app app is very accurate in the ratings and the data for the most part and since I’ve been using it I’ve made money but it would have been better if VectorVest had the capability for real time data in the $20 premium subscription instead of the 15 mins delay and also if there was some sort of stock screener for industries like in the desktop version I believe it would be a huge addition in order to sort the stocks based of a person’s preference for a particular sector etc. VectorVest definitely has a lot of potential and a lot more improvements could be made.

Apparently this company isn’t integrated with itself. I paid for VectorVest but that doesn’t translate to the desktop site. Even though you pay for VectorVest you don’t get access there. EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME COMPANY. That might not be a bad thing though because looking at the desk top site pricing, even the lowest plan for $70/month only gets you end of day data. Yet on the phone app for $5/month you get data 15 mins delayed. Weird, screwed up company. But if you’re interested go with the $5/month app as you’ll pay less and get more current data.

The Vector Vest app is my first stop when buying any stock or stock option. It’s proprietary system tells when you should buy, hold, or sell any stock. Be sure to study it’s VST (Value, Safety, and Timing) system to get the most out of the program. It also gives you the market timing in general, when it is safe to jump in or time to start getting defensive.
The only major issue is that it is not fully IOS 11 compatible for iPads split screen option. The split screen, for example, allows you to run two programs side by side, such as your broker on one side, and your research app on the other side of the screen.
Vector Vest has been adding features, such as a new stock screener function on a regular basis, so I hope the split screen function for iPad is in the works.

I use the Premium version and am very happy. Saves me the hassle of building charts and is good for technical analysis. It is best for more experienced traders, because there is more to the market than tech analysis, so this isn’t good for new IPO’s. However, for more established stocks, and knowing current market conditions, it can be an invaluable tool.

I have had a few stocks that have been stale and neither making me money nor losing so I held. Based on my own research I was prepared to sell however was advised to hold by the “experts”
I’ve had Vector for about two weeks now and sure enough they confirmed the decisions I was on the fence about and actually saved me in the Nick of time with their advice to sell allowing me to break even or keep what could have become unmanageable losses into manageable ones. Whether it’s time to cut the fat or discover new stocks in this ever shifting landscape, this tools invaluable and legit. I’ll submit another review every few weeks to verify the validity of this over the long haul.

I love VectorVest. Tells you right time, expected profit, risk scale, over all benefit. I did the free trial when I was new to the stock market and then cancelled without problems. I’m not sure why so many people are saying that they have problems cancelling after the free trial ???.
I however later on, missed having VectorVest and become a subscriber. Like I said, I love it :)

There is no flow to the delivery of the information or it’s presentation. It’s just an app with stock tips. Hand picked and well thought yes, but just an app. It doesn’t push notifications about pressing investments or things to look into. For 20 a month you could be offering so much with this. But it’s new so hopefully it grows and learns as time goes on.

I cannot emphasize enough how helpful this app is. Even the cheapest $4.99/mo account provides invaluable advice. Whenever I’m thinking of buying a stock, I renew my subscription to get this app’s input and it has never steered me wrong. VectorVest has far better data & advice than any other free or subscription service I’ve encountered. It’s insanely impressive & I can’t recommend it enough.

VectorVest helps me make decisions, save time, and most importantly make $$. I am a database administrator by trade and I want to make $$ in my spare time. I love the fact that I can query anything I want and I have access to smart screens already designed.. awesome! This is a learning earning machine that has helped me build better strategies and have greater success. Love it! customer for life!

by Roosailing

Vector Vest is the best market timing, stock financial analysis tool I’ve used in the 24 years I’ve been investing in individual stocks. Vector Vest has taught me how to time the market, profiting in both directions, while preserving capital and profits. Through the stock screeners, model portfolio tools, you have the ability to pick winners. Please understand that the Windows product provides additional features, but the mobile app can get you started. It is the best!

To the people who give this one star. Guess what? I just subscribed. I use this as a guide more than them telling me what to do. The stock market is way too volatile to make a wrong move in my opinion. I make an educated guess and see if this app agrees with it or not. If not, I find out why and learn from that. I’d rather have professional advice than to go out there on my own. I guess that’s just me, though. VectorVest is good if you’re not a professional trader. Obviously, a professional wouldn’t need it.

by Acrobatic Don

Takes time to understand the numbers describe a potential to profit by buying , selling or holding a stock and the direction it is trending and finally the potential for how bumpy the ride may be.

The crew at this app is knowledgeable, helpful and considerate as you learn the system.

I recommend this tool as a potential major help in finding your way to success in the financial markets.

I’ve been investing for many years and have always managed to make money in the market. I’ve used VectorVest for several months and took a very conservative approach in a very robust market but still lost money on a regular basis. Their information and recommendations seem to be old and outdated. My current challenge is trying to cancel my subscription. VectorVest has no information or links on how to do so. Sent message to Support so we’ll see how that goes

by Alex Max Timberlake

They do give you buy and sell rating on stock that are very risky and volatile. You may be lucky and make a fortune. You may be a professional who have experience and know when to buy and sell, in that case you don’t need VectorVest. You can you the think of swim scanner! But if you are a naive new trader chances are you will blow your account listening to their suggestions. Be careful if you insist on using it. The subscription is not worth it.

by Jaslars

I can’t comment on VectorVest as of now only had it for 3 days but the people complaining about not being able to cancel there subscription! You are so ignorant learn your stupid phone before you make comments on someone’s apps!
Just stupid!!

I have been interested in Vector Vest for 20 years. I previously attended two day training sessions round 2000. I quit investing several years ago, but I am excited to get back into the market. There is no one better than Vector Vest to lead me in the right direction for profitable investing.

There are 8,000 available stocks to choose from, and at least that many companies that, for a fee, will sell you their secret sauce for picking winners. This is actually quite useful, I use it on all my trading and have been very pleased with the results.

by Drod55

I find VectorVest surprisingly good. Monitoring these many stocks with buy, sell and hold recommendations it’s very useful to anyone managing money. When a client ask about any stock you can have an instant intelligent conversation accelerating the sales process.

by Agent-G

I think this is a great app for traders of all skill levels. The information is provided in an easy to read view with outstanding and accurate signals and data!
