Genius: Stock Market Tracker Reviews

by Dr. Panda's Account

Can’t add stocks to watch lists. Can’t find the new how to 30 second helper. When I tried to reach out for help, it won’t highlight ‘send’ to actually send an email. When I try to connect through Genius Store it takes me to the developer page that is just that. A page. Two stars for potential.

Genius has the potential to be amazing, but has a few key flaws. I hope they will be fixed soon because I really would like to use Genius.

1) Dividend total is off for all my holdings - seems like the June (last month) dividends are not reflected in the totals yet? If they're over a month delayed, that's a problem.

2) At first, I couldn't figure out why my total return amounts (and balances) were off - Genius doesn't take into account returns on dividends reinvested. There is no option to turn this on or off either. Most portfolios like mine reinvest the dividends automatically, generating further returns. Genius calculates the returns on your buy orders only, and calculates dividends without returns. This is an essential feature that needs fixing.

3) I can't figure out how to add a sell order for any of my holdings in my portfolio. I may be missing something here.

4) Adding a setting to change amount of currency digits would be helpful. No option to show cents on my holdings, just whole dollars.

Genius has been receiving solid updates over the past year I’ve been using it. The developers have been responsive to bug reports too. There is really no other good alternative for the tracking functions Genius provides for me.

Linking all my accounts from different places was super fast and easy. The whole app experience is seamless and the frequent updates are awesome to see.

This is my first time trading, I've only used Genius. Wasn't good at it at first, but how I'm making about $100 a month off of it, so seems cool to me.

Genius is easy and straightforward to use. The display pages provide all of the information you need to manage your investments WITHOUT having to deal with advertising interference.

I’ve tried them all. But this one takes the cake! It’s so good I’m considering the pro subscription. Give it a try. You’ll be glad you did.

This little app is amazing at everything it has and if your a Robinhood user, this is even better to keep track of your stocks. Must use if your going to trade in this market!

Greg has given excellent support whenever I have had a question on Genius . He has also been very quick to respond to any glitches that have come up. Very highly recommend Genius!!!

Stock this app provides a very intuitive user friendly interface while still managing to deliver a lot of information - not an easy balance to find

by Microclue

Genius is very well thought out, with design language that is modern and unobtrusive while still offering pertinent info about stock/fund holdings. While the free version is completely sufficient, the pro features offer very useful additions that is well worth it for people who want to sync with their brokerage account automatically. Also, the developer was responsive with support and bugs in Genius , which further shows active development in Genius. Overall, I highly recommend Genius!

Finally an app that is easy to use for tracking your own portfolio. Includes purchase date and price which allows you to see cost basis for each investment when you’ve purchased multiple lots at varying prices. Customer service was also exceptional and very fast when contacted.

Best app I have found for tracking my individual stocks. I buy depressed , solid stocks then track to my expected sell points. Genius allows me to see current $, historic $’s, profit to date, while looking at some financials, social page, and dividends among other interesting items. Great for what it does!

I’m new to trading so I’m looking for apps that will help me shorten my learning curve! So far this is the best one I’ve found! Comparing stocks and viewing the social media section all on the same app is helping me to learn different trading strategies and the terminology! The social media section has helped me make better decisions on trades weather I’m playing it safe or making a riskier trade! Lots of info!!! Thanks for Genius!!!

One of my favorite things that Stock this app makes simple is the ability to see a stock’s performance over the last month, YTD, 5 years, and so on.

It’s really a one stop shop for everything you need for research. Apple News integration as well as the Pro features like Institutional Owners and Earnings are super helpful so you don’t have to leave Genius to get this info.

Let me start by saying that this is the best and cleanest looking portfolio tracking tool in the AppStore! I can finally stop using the clunky Schwab and Fidelity apps and see my entire portfolio in one unified place. I have Bloomberg Professional and I must say I’m impressed by the amount of information Stock this app provides. It might be too much to ask, but I have a couple of suggestions that would make Genius even better:

- Ability to see futures for stock indices
- Pre and post market data (when available) for stocks
- Ability to look through ETFs / mutual funds
- See specific analyst price targets for stocks
- Move the plus sign to add a new stock away from the middle of the screen

Genius design makes it so easy to track your stocks historical performance and keep up with news and tweets on your companies. I feel like even something as simple as year to date return on my portfolio, Schwab and other can’t seem to figure it out on the mobile app but Stock this app does it so easily and simply. Love Genius , highly recommend the iPad version too!

If you want an app where you can add your stocks with purchase price and holdings, to compare it daily, this does the trick. I know it does a lot more but for my use it’s perfect. Without a subscription you are only limited to 8 stocks to monitor and follow. This seemed to be the only intuitive app that I could find to do this basic function without having to link a portfolio. I’m debating subscribing because I do like Genius.

This has become my go to App for tracking my investment performance (used to use the Bloomberg App). It has an easy to use interface along with real time data and impressive time period return calculation options. My favorite part about it is that Genius keeps evolving and getting better, the developers clearly understand what the user is looking for and make efforts to improve upon the product.

Contacted Brian about the missing summary line and he got back within a few hours to inform me that the issue would be taken care of after a new update.

After trying a few stock portfolio apps, I really like Stock this app for it’s simplicity in keeping track of just what I need. It was easy to set up my portfolio and see daily results.
