iHub - Stocks & Crypto Reviews

by NewsInfoReader

What a terrible app. this app allows mods, some of which who are under civil complaints (janice shell) and known to abuse users, to run many of its stock boards. I personally have been harassed by a mod on this site -- they send you insulting PMs, which you can't even reply to unless you pay this app.

This is the worst “investing” app I’ve ever used. If you short stocks, iHub is for you. If you actually invest in stocks, iHub will almost certainly cause you to lose money.

DOWNLOAD WITH EXTREME CAUTION. You will get sucked in, and you WILL lose money - due to this app. Don’t download this if you care about your money.

This POS app crashes constantly due to the ads not opening properly. When it does this, you have to start over in the thread list. When is this app going to learn to just do away with the ads. This makes for a horrible experience. Another problem is many of the ads they use bog down the screen and you cannot scroll up or down or even click up or down to the next message without having to wait for it to catch up. this app, get a clue!!!! This is on both my iphone 5 and my 5s.

Resident stock bashers on popular boards allowed to libel, and disparage companies as well as individuals without proof or consequence. Administration are unworthy of their position and censorship abounds under the guise of their “TOS” terms of service. this app is a Cesspool of disinformation.

I have browsed this message board before thinking I could find a barometer of useful information and exchanges about potential investments. Wow, I was sorely mistaken.

There is an abundance of paid bashers here whose sole mission is to throw as much mud at stocks to cause as many people to sell as possible. These bashers also act as admins on most of the pages so they will delete positive posts and protect negative posts.

Use iHub at your own risk! The admins here have an agenda to smear as many tickers as they can to scare investors to sell into the waiting arms of market makers. When challenged on this the admins deny if of course, but when you look at the message history of posters and what birds they moderate you see a pattern arising.

Beware posting on iHub, iHub seemingly is designed by market makers to scare investors i companies to sell! Don’t believe me? Check out any of the consistent bashers on any given ticker, there are many. You’ll see their message history is entirely negative on nearly all of the tickets. They will also time these posts to a dip to make it dip more and remain silent during runs. It’s a classic scam, so use at your own risk.

Hello IH Admin,
Understood. My request for review is based upon what I perceive as bias in that oftentimes I am responding to a message directed at me. I respond. My messages are removed. The messages I responded to remain. It appears not only to be bias but seems to be troll-like behavior. I believe my posts are being unfairly censored. And, it's shameful that this app tolerates it. So, I will not post today. It is clear to me that IH Admin [Edward] has some disdain for my point of view. That has prompted me to write a message to this app executive Sonya. Censorship is unbecoming of this app. If there were a delete profile option, I would use it. Then, I would use other platforms to bring attention to what I feel is unfair bias and censorship. And, I may even be able to make the case that this app has a vested interest in quashing all decenting views on particular stocks such as T__S.

App is complete garbage. It will randomly freeze, or boot you.

Beyond that, this is by far the most toxic, manipulated, corrupt forum related to stocks on all the internet. Bashers and flippers have free reign on most boards to post flat out fake news and lies to try to manipulate buying or selling. Mods are corrupt and will remove factual posts but allow bashing to remain unchecked. You thought Twitter was bad? Nope, nothing compare to this. Everyone on this app has a financial agenda and motive behind their posts and actions and with the amount of corruption and lies allowed to run rampant there by corrupt moderators, spend your time researching stocks elsewhere.

First attempt to login on iPad resulted in a spinning "logging in" dial that never ends... I guess I have to uninstall and reinstall.. Meathead: add a timeout of 20 seconds or so.

Edit: Ok it finally timed out. After several of these timeouts I was able to login. That's as far as I could go. My company I work for during normal business hours requires an "accept" agreement to browse. iHub must use a browser? Weird split screen with half of iHub working on the left, company "accept" agreement on the right that exits me to a browser session and an error message if I agree, and does nothing if I don't.

Unusable for me.

With apps like: Workflow, Launch Center Pro, Drafts, Editorial, and even IFTTT we need access to a URL Scheme for iHub and iOS Share sheet. Example I can find a stock I like and go to the share sheet and run a workflow to add it to a drafts document or numbers spreadsheet while also emailing the info to someone all in one click.

Also with URL Schemes I can trigger an IFTTT to trigger a stock alert and launch a Launch Center Pro custom URL that could open this app app and go straight to a stocks webpage.

There is an audience for this and when people create these workflows and share them others will want to try so win win for you!

The bad at least from previous updates:
Doesn't appear to be retina capable (if it is then needs a UI refresh), also the stickies are no longer shown on the boards, need premium membership to save posts, and can't group your favorited boards which for me would be useful.

Two stars because it's usable but crashes frequently and resets position within a stock when you click on an external link and sometimes within a stock it'll keep loading the same posts as you scroll and sharing a post with others isn't easy due to no SHARE SHEET!

I had the mobile this app for my iPad a couple years ago and and it was great. No problems, great features, fast. I recently downloaded it again and started using it a week ago and oh my god.... It freezes while on any screen, and don't even try to send a message. You can type a sentence and it will take 10 seconds for each word to appear. It freezes on the monitor and chart screens and then kicks me out. Very frustrating. When it works it's great, but until they fix it it is terrible.

Updated Review:
Seems they got rid of the ads within the boards and mailboxes. This a most welcome change. it's back to being a great community to play in!

Old review:
Then the ads got overwhelming and are always completely useless. There's even an ad in the middle of your inbox messages and attempts to delete it close the program. It's also now impossible to delete messages in your inbox. Attempts to slide it to the right for the "delete" button are futile.

Get rid of the ads that appear in the middle of content. Get rid of ALL ads for PAID subscribers and I'll bump my rating. Why should someone who pays over $50 a month in subscriptions have to deal with advertisements? I'd normally say that's bull but given the nature of say that's bear.

It beats the web version in my book. Good to be able to use this app w/o the chunky ad, seo and other junk that slow it so much. Keep up the good work. If we could see may be a broker link to brokerage apps on the ipad (etrade pro etc) would be great to be able to place trades, import/export watchlists etc...

Great source for OTC Market info.
The cryptocurrency pages are also quite useful with a lot of great data, crypto investing tools
Highly recommended app.

iHub is great for on the go users to see the level 2 feature on your stocks. Plus you can look at the message boards and even add your comments on the forum all by being mobile! Wonderful customer support is always a plus.

I’ve tried a lot of apps with a similar purpose but this is by far the best. Easy to use and highly informative.

by DIG4SLVR

After joining this app I had been waiting and waiting for an app and it's here!

So far I have had 0 major issues with iHub and customer support always answers right away if I have a question!

Live streaming info to my IPhone and IPad has made trading my small caps easier than ever! I can do so so much more during the busy construction days!

AWESOME: I have been using another quote provider whose suppose to be real time. Server problems have hindered that for two months now and I could not get their quotes on my IPhone. Called this app, customer service picked up on the second ring, personal and friendly - walked me threw a few steps and was on my way. Thank you!! Great app, on time real time quotes. Highly Recommend!!!!!!! 5 STAR *****

iHub makes it easy to track all your stocks in real time. You can also chat about each stock in the extensive forums and pay a bit more for a real time trades list (which is GREAT).

I do a lot of trading from my iPad, and haven't found another app that can beat the great multi-pane view of this app. I pay a small monthly fee for the live trade list. On one stock detail screen I see detailed breakdown of news, forum messages, multiple graphs, real time quote, and live trades...plus also a list of other stocks I'm following in the corner. All on one screen!

It's awesome, and I've relied on it for several years now.

iHub has certainly come a long way this past year. Very impressed with current structure and continued adjustments.

by Paintspatteredapp

I’m newer to the world of stocks and had this app recommended by a family friend. There are lots of helpful tools on iHub and it runs well.

by SwingTraderMX

It is still the best app to use for more intensive DD on speculative stocks.

Silly unprofessional UI

This site is not worth the money,they are bias and will remove anything they deemed fit

by Gastr1c

iPhone 6S on wifi and iHub regularly hangs, crashes, reports that it failed to post but really didn't, takes 60 seconds to load a post, and on and on. Happens while on different networks so it's iHub not the physical network. In contrast accessoring the site via web browser is flawless and has none of the same issues.

First day on app. I don't know about some of the business end complaints some have stated. May be true or not! However, rating this on iHub alone it has been pretty user friendly compared to the actual website which I find very aggregating. Like one has posted, I like the "recent trades" as we'll. I also have not seen that before, and its pretty cool to see how much has been traded that day. I mostly downloaded iHub to stay current with the message board on my stock which as I said was a PITA on their website. I gave it four stars because it has met my needs for iHub . I did not give it five stars cause I have not used most of what iHub may offer so cannot review what I have not used.

Keep track of your stocks, live stock prices and best of all, you can talk to other investors.

I’m just starting out trading, and it’s pretty great to be able to speak with veterans and full time traders.
