Stock Market Simulator Reviews

by Romans8:38,39

It’s fine to practice trading and watching your money turn profits. However, some stocks don’t work well when examining them specifically. Also I had 4 shares of apple stock when they split and I still have only 4 after they split, which in total takes my down around 60%. Frustrating when you have a limited amount of money to work with.

Update! They fixed the stock splits and now they have simply started zeroing out some companies. I have stock in nikola corporation which is an electric car company worth about $23 a share but all my 41 stocks in the company are now at $0... the more I use StockMarketSimulator the less I’m thinking it is worth it. Fun for a start but the bugs are a lot to deal with. I also emailed the support staff about this issue and there seems to be no response.

Not good for learning. Gives a false sense of how “easy” trading is. It is NOT! I actually purchased this for $9.99. Fun to try to beat your own “score” ($ amount). But prices are too delayed. I unrealistically grew my account from $10k to over $1.3 TRILLION🤷🏻‍♂️ in 8 months by simply looking at premarket pricing and then going all in with this account. Also daily/weekly/monthly tallies in green under the account amount stopped working. I emailed the developer but have not heard back. I would consider StockMarketSimulator only an educational tool for VERY basic mechanics of trading. Could be better for the price.

I usually don’t care for ads and even less to write a review about them, BUT STOP WITH THE COINBASE ADS!!! Every time I open StockMarketSimulator , I get a coinbase ad. Every time I close StockMarketSimulator and come back, coinbase ad. Every time is spend more than 1 minute on StockMarketSimulator , A COINBASE AD. At first I was actually considering installing COINBASE too but now I’m just tired of it. Like get different ads. Shoving the same thing in my face isn’t gonna make me want it.

I had StockMarketSimulator for 5 days and it was working fine and everything was good but than suddenly on the 5th day I would try to go into StockMarketSimulator and it would automatically kick me out. It finally stopped kicking me out after trying over and over but now the money I have stays the same, I can’t buy or sell stock, and it doesn’t bring up the 1day( current time) graph

I have been using that app and it worked great! I loved the simplicity of it and it just did what it was supposed to. However, with Apple just barely doing a 4 way stock split I should have the same equity I had before the split. I just would have 4 shares now not just one. So it says I have lost around $300 dollars in Apple when I didn’t. So that’s annoying. Please fix this and it will be great again!

Worked good at first. Was excited to practice trading stocks and this seems to be the only app I’ve found that follows real, up-to-date stock prices, which is critical IMO.

However, recently the charts and gains/losses for my overall portfolio have stopped showing any data at all except for the total available cash and I’ve noticed at least one stock still shows shares in the portfolio after crossing a stop loss but 0 shares available if I try to sell it. I’m not sure if it’s affecting the portfolio or not now. Issues like this make it very hard to reliably judge how effectively my strategies are playing out.

Aside from the bugs, it also lacks a few features which would be helpful in learning to trade successfully such as trailing stop losses but that’s not really a big deal.

Also I’m not one to complain about ads in a free app but they pop up and make you wait like 5 seconds every single time you leave and return to StockMarketSimulator which is incredibly annoying if you want to go back and forth a lot between StockMarketSimulator and a separate chart analysis platform or fundamental company research or whatever.

Of all the market simulator apps I’ve tried this one seems to be the best. It has an abundance of information on companies and has many features. My main issue is with the charts. First of all, they are just bad charts. They don’t follow the actual price really. Secondly, the graph that shows the p/l is rigged for me. It completely changes everytime I reload into it(not because of stock movement). Still a very good app though just needs some improvements

by TheGavinator3000

Its possibly the best paper trading app, but it has 2 flaws 1. its really ugly they could make the interface alot better, but i can easily get past that 2. you cant place a limit order and stop-loss order on 1 stock at the same time, this is just annoying and something i want to do alot

I’m really enjoying StockMarketSimulator . Great info, real stock values, etc.

Only complaint I have is they don’t distinguish cash on hand from invested money. It shows you a total that includes your investments AND cash on hand. Needs an update showing your buying power/cash on hand separate from your invested cash

Since you are able to purchase shares while the market is closed you are able to wait and read the news before you decide to invest in a company. Since quarterly earnings reports are released after hours, the users are able to read those and invest in stocks after the market is closed and have incredible gains but that is not how the market works and that is the equivalent to insider trading. Overall StockMarketSimulator is great and has taught me a lot but that is one thing I believe needs to be changed! Keep up the good work

The only problem I have with StockMarketSimulator and it’s not to big of a problem is I think you should be able to type in the amount of money you want to start out with that way you can personalize it to you and the amount of money your going to be entering the stock market with once you feel confident enough and graduate from StockMarketSimulator other than that StockMarketSimulator is great and they even have a section of StockMarketSimulator dedicated to guiding you on how to do everything on the stock market

There seems to be a programming glitch so that when I go to place a limit buy, after I enter the price, the keyboard won't go away and I can't click the sell button. So my only choice is to press the back button. This is very frustrating. Other than that I still certainly recommend StockMarketSimulator for beginners. It's super easy and enjoyable. How good. Thanks fellas!

I really enjoyed StockMarketSimulator because it is easy to use. There is this weird glitch tho when You double click on the search bar, there are some strange settings. A Chinese character comes up. When You click on that, it crashes???! Like bro i didn’t know this was a China app

I had to take off a star for this sus thing. Otherwise very nice app

I love StockMarketSimulator and it’s simple but informative interface, but if you check the charts often they aren’t fully correct. And swap to different apps during the day but every time I open StockMarketSimulator I get an ad. I’m getting like 40 ads a day at that rate. If you could change it to time in StockMarketSimulator based and not logging on StockMarketSimulator based that would be great.

by Thejahn

It looks amazingly capable but I spent all my play money on three stocks and StockMarketSimulator will no longer open. It simply crashed and would not restart. I am now updating this review to share that I turned off wifi and cell data, and restarted StockMarketSimulator without a crash. I was able to turn cell data back on and StockMarketSimulator still works. I will increase my rating from 2 to 5 as it is doing what I now expect. I could have been an ad crashing StockMarketSimulator .

by Heloitschris

this is an amazing app, it’s so educational and great for kids if you want them to learn the ways of the market when they grow up. A little unrealistic like buying and selling after hours and you can’t add in money to your account. But I love StockMarketSimulator and great practice, by far THE BEST stock market simulator EVER. Period.

by Stock Destroyer

I would love to see something like an Active Trader Mode similar to TD Ameritrades AT mode. When we click to view the Stocks Chart we have to click out fast if we want to sell our shares at that price. Just put it on the side on the Chart so us Day Traders can have a more realistic experience please

You should get StockMarketSimulator “investing school” to go along with StockMarketSimulator. They are both great apps that teach you how to invest in stock while working together. One teaches you, and the other is a hands on approach that uses real world stocks without you having to worry about loosing real world money. It is a great way to learn before you start actually investing in stock in real life.

by RBShoemaker

I wanted to learn and decide whether or not I could actually learn about companies enough to determine if they could be the right choices to earn value and become profitable. I’ve tried several stocks and never actually lost more than I set my limits at. The only question I would like to see is if they’d add in the cost of the trades via a varying cost for each trade to your total!

by Ynoroozi90

I suggest if you want to use a simulator, you should have a trading viewer app as your main app and track down the stocks you want and when you decided to buy, quickly switch to the simulator and buy. Becuz the simulator doesnt have indicators and you cant be a profitable traders without them. So yeah I like it cuz its real time and simple. Only problem is in the summery of buys and sells which it doesnt shows all and sometimes some transactions are getting missed from it which I hope the devs fix it.

by Nofzinger

First of all it’s a great app with a lot of learning capabilities. Has a lot of stocks worldwide and everything in between. This I would like to see is a scroll through for companies and different stock exchanges like nasdaq, s&p, Dow, euro, and Asian, AUS, markets and this one would be unbeatable. And maybe news and tips would be great

by Colton Zahner

If you don’t trust yourself with real money get StockMarketSimulator and it will help you learn how to use the money to trade and invest. The only thing I don’t like is the ads. But still a five star rating download StockMarketSimulator rn!
