Iris - Social Stock Investing Reviews

Many people have come and gone on this app since I started using-it doesn’t seem there is a good user retention rate especially for new comers. Since inception, the most popular posts get maybe 30 likes and at most 2,000 views. I was told there were vastly more active monthly users than what seems to actually exist. This seems troublesome. I think the Pelosi profile idea is good but people can find that information anywhere on the internet. It’s sort of rehashed in a social media context, which is great, but can the social media side of the application be monitized to justify a salary to employees of this app and also reimburse investors in the actual this app app ? What’s missing is there are 60k followers to the Pelosi profile…how do you get those users active and actually engaged?

I think the trade accuracy part of the application is neat but needs to be improved as it is inherently unique to this app.

I have been part of this app community for over a year now and I don’t think I’ll leave as this app at a bare minimum is a good tool to keep track of portfolio performance and trade accuracy.

If this app added a sharpe ratio to the application I think it would really bring it to the next level as it would add another valuable and unique layer to the overall product.

I got this app at first not understanding it completely. After not doing, I started actually starting getting a handle for how to use it well. I’m under the impression that there is constantly new updates as I looked into the company and they are trailblazing. But so far, the analytics are cool and it ranks how I am doing and it lets me see how others are doing. The best part is that it sends a message when someone I follow makes a trade. This is huge as I can literally see others building their wealth in real time and copy trades I like without doing as much research as before.

Iris clearly has so much potential. And now I don’t feel so bad on days when I’m down in the market because I’m able to connect with friends and see their portfolios too. I think an app like this app will increase peoples overall trading confidence, especially Gen Z. (4 stars for now while some kinks are worked out)

Excellent app. An amazingly simple concept and well designed. Never knew how much this was needed until it was here. The community is amazing on here and will genuinely help you grow as an investor. Great people, ideas, and knowledge. Can’t recommend enough. I think this is like the second time in my life to actually take the time to write a review so I feel very strongly about Iris. Highly recommend.

Incredible team onboard to foster the apps growth. Mission and strategic vision aligns perfectly with providing the common retail investor tools and knowledge bases that frankly aren’t available to people not directly in the finance industry. Community is healthy of debate and group think with plenty of people willing to show others the ropes. Love it and borderline addicted to Iris . Download and jump right in!

If you are into investing then you know how difficult it can be to find investor groups online to socialize with. This solves that problem. It also solves the problem of not being able to see the actual portfolio performance of people you follow on a regular social platform. I’m looking forward to the future of this app and specifically more integration with cryptocurrency exchanges!

I can see instant potential so that’s why I am helping out with a 5 star review.

On the other hand I would like to note that although this may be included in a near update I would love to see “WeBull” included on the investment platforms able to sync. Thanks so much and I will be keeping Iris with high hopes of other platform integrations in future updates.

I’ve been using Iris for some time and I just can’t stress it enough how friendly and helpful the community is - with whatever questions you have someone knows the answer. You can be completely new to trading and be embraced by an absolutely amazing community. I will continue to use Iris. - Preston

Iris is quite new, not without its glitches, lacking some features... But this development team and the community we're building are fantastic! Robinhood or TD Ameritrade can be connected to share your portfolios and trades! This project is really unique and I encourage anyone that wants to have a good conversation about investing to download Iris right now!

Before getting Iris I was not sure of the benefits of socializing portfolios. Needless to say, this proved to be a great way to grow my portfolio and network with fellow investors. The interface is easy and navigation is straight forward. Looking at friends' investments helped me to diversify my portfolio. I would recommend Iris to anybody interested in the stock market!

I love Iris.
The one thing I am most glad about it is that I am able to see my trade accuracy and be able to see what my friends are trading and how their portfolios are doing
I am also able to make new friends and message then to exchange trade experiences and strats.

This is the only app of its kind and it’s a social network for stock traders, enthusiasts, and all walks of life. It’s a great community with an excellent team that engage all the time with their users. There’s NOT ONE app you can find with the same team-user engagement. I think this is the start of something big!

this app is a great community of like minded people. Iris is easy to use, and everyone contributes to the ‘community’ where we are all sharing opinions and making money. It’s been great as an investor and every day I participate, I’m learning more and more. It’s actually helped my overall performance in my journey trading!

Not 1000% what it’s claiming to be, it does not actually connect you to contacts already on this app. It requests you to invite and build on your current contacts weather they are actively in this app or not.

I absolutely am in love with Iris. It has a great community on it and the interface for finding and discussing new stocks is terrific. Also makes it super easy to connect your external trading account and follow your friends portfolios and compare trades/performance. My new favorite investing app

this app is single handedly the best social stocks app and I cannot wait for this to blow up. I already see tons of new people every day and I absolutely love it. Get this app if you don’t have it yet whether you invest or not it is still an incredible app. Go this app!

i've downloaded every other "social stock app" out there and they're all either filled with things people TALK about or just unusable and broken.

i don't trust words. i trust NUMBERS. amazing idea.

Iris is exactly what I’ve been looking for. My friends and I always talk about trading but now having a community to share trade ideas with and compare against is fantastic. Big fan!

Love the this app community. While some App features are still under development, the team is incredibly involved in the community, great at gathering feedback and reacting to it. We needed this app, I just didn’t know it. Amazing job folks, keep it up.

As someone that is fairly new into trading, I really appreciate the welcoming community on this app that is always willing to offer support. Also, the general concept of social trading is really beneficial to the community on Iris as a whole.

Brian/Chris/Aaron - awesome app. Wishing you the best. I stumbled upon one your Linkedin posts from a friend of a friend and thought I’d check it out because I’ve been looking for a way to share my portfolio with coworkers (we currently use Google Sheets). But I am unable to use this app because I have Schwab. I bet integrating with a bank’s api is super challenging, but then why not allow for manual additions? I would gladly manually input my portfolio. I spent 5 minutes looking for that feature but I guess that wasn’t considered MVP? Good luck with everything. I’ll be following and I’m proud to be an early user of this app.

The interface is growing, the community is expanding, the future is bright and it is just the beginning... Iris is where it’s at during these unprecedented times 🙌🏻✨✨✨

Bad pun ok. Awesome idea! Integrates super smoothly with Robinhood! Super fun to see friend’s portfolio movements and holdings. Can’t wait to see what new features will be added! Kudos to the developer for fantastic execution!

Can’t believe this doesn’t exist yet. Being able to follow other peoples portfolios real time is addicting! Truly a 10/10 design.

Get your friends on here too and you will check Iris more often than your portfolio !

Works very well with Robinhood and allows you to follow and track your friend’s portfolios! Amazing!

Love being able to socialize stock trades. this app is helping me be way up on my trades.

Literally instagram for the stock market

Well if you hold your money anywhere else than the newly popular RobinHood app I guess the only way to share your portfolios with friends and strangers is at the bar( pre corona).

i wouldnt have started investing if it werent for Iris. it was fun following my friends and their portfolios. 10/10 would recommend

interesting concept i like it so far

i love it here
its so non toxic
