Stocks Live+ Best Stock Market Reviews

by Bullethead1

This was my one stop place for tracking my investments and reading a little news. Bought the “one time get all for life fee” but as the years pass they need more money which I can understand but don’t make claims you can’t fulfill. Just reading the news now costs me a $4.99 fee.
Update: Oct 17, 2020. This is the response I get from the Company “ Interesting that you think you deserve to get paid monthly for your work but if we charge $5 flat fee for the best news aggregator that we recently wrote you start complaining! Contact us and we will remove you from the service but I guess you don’t want to, right! Ungrateful user. "
As for me I’ve taken a 25% pay cut and I am on the verge of losing more so I’m trying to manage my budget. Your news aggregator may be the “best” but will the “ungrateful user” be able to read the articles or are there additional fees required by the original news source?
Like I said, before the additional fee you provided the news and it was comprehensive and some articles couldn’t be read because you needed to subscribe to the news outlet. So what changed?

So, all I wanted was to be able to see my stocks real time. Stocks Live sounds like it does that, right? It’s expensive for an app and it’s name is Stocks Live so it must have live stock reporting! Silly me. You have to pay an additional subscription fee for that. Didn’t see that one coming, but that’s my fault for not researching StocksLiveBestStockMarket more. For my purposes StocksLiveBestStockMarket is no better than Apple’s (free) Stocks app. Wasted money. Update: the developer contacted me and pointed out the real time feature is an additional one time charge, not a subscription. My bad, but it doesn’t change the fact that you have to pay additional to get what’s implied in StocksLiveBestStockMarket title. I was offered a refund but will decline because as mentioned, this was my fault for not researching StocksLiveBestStockMarket well enough. All the best to the developer, as I doubt he or she is not purposefully deceptive.

StocksLiveBestStockMarket is excellent. However I subscribed to additional non ad free access. Then they decided to remove access to many features and charge for what was available before. News sources which are even free on many stock apps are suddenly required to buy to get. CNBC, motley fool, market watch, seeking alpha, yahoo, any news source costs money to view. Yet you can view free on their apps. This developer/company will advertise the best and taketh away to try and squirrel money from you. It was great before they became greedy. Now expect a great interface but don’t expect getting any additional information without paying and even then most of what you get will be be stripped down in the future. Very disappointed in what was my favorite stock app.

The ability to us the technical charts (MACD, moving averages, etc) on our iPhone made trading easier and enhanced our trading decisions leading to enhanced earnings. Very sorry to see them go. I understand the new supplier fees caused them to be unsustainable. Wish there was another approach to obtain them.

During the market drop this week, stocks live and yahoo finance did not give real time or accurate summary data. The numbers page was accurate for price but the watch lists and portfolio numbers were not. Not sure if it was stocks live issue or an internet issue. Cannot know for sure. (Maybe the fact that we therefore did not see the $30 per share price drop that bounced back up was good for us in the end.)🤔

Notwithstanding the recent above listed issues, stocks live has been an amazing, superb data tool. We do not want to lose it. Thank you for your continued efforts for StocksLiveBestStockMarket. We appreciate all that you provide, even if we grumble about these things above!

Definitely much better than anything else I’ve tried so far. Some possible improvements:
-identify money market funds and group with cash
- more intuitive / consistent explicit view of the overall vs daily performance (daily is above overall in some places and below in others)
- there are a couple of hours after market close when closing stock prices are already updated but mutual funds are still from previous day(between about 4pm and 6pm EST). Moreover, not all mutual fund publish their NAV at the same time. It is currently impossible to tell which mutual funds have already updated and which have not, so around 4-6pm the overall portfolio value is inconsistent. Highlighting which mutual funds have already updated for the day (T0 closing price) and which are still stale (T-1 closing price) would be very useful. Reported this before but suggestion was apparently not understood by whoever replied. Please read my description above if the comment is still not clear

I’ve been using a different app, StockIdealPro, for a few years, but lately it has problems importing my Fidelity portfolio and its real-time after-hours quotes are buggy. So I turned to the Stocks Live app instead. So far it looks like Stocks Live has most of the features I need.

One of the things I liked best about StockIdealPro is their very nice heat map. The heat map in Stocks Live is not as good, it doesn’t have as many red/green color shades and the text formatting is not as nice within the squares. Also I wish I could combine the Stocks Live heat map on the same page with something like the overall pie chart & the portfolio numbers view, and with news about the stocks within the portfolio. That would be my ideal at-a-glance page, but so far the only one that comes close to that is the Market Overview page on StockIdealPro.

The two apps each have their pros and cons, so I’ll be using both. If Stocks Live could make a nicer heat map then I’d switch to this one entirely.

Stocks Live is by far the best place to comb through if you are trying to look for a stock. There are different categories to look through. The customizable heat maps are nice. It is very easy to look through potentially interesting stocks, ETFs and commodities to see what looks good. The news and metrics are right here to quickly determine if the stock is worth while.
Being able to have the consolidated information in one place and well presented is outstanding. There are multiple purchase add-ons that seem obnoxious at first but it does give a much lower threshold to enter into a very useful tool. I have made much more money from finding positive investments from StocksLiveBestStockMarket than what I’ve spent. The more I’ve earned from StocksLiveBestStockMarket , the more I’ve invested in this tool.
I love great tools and for finding places to invest this is by far the best I’ve found.
One thing I thought of that could be interesting is to have a view within the stock for what searches that the stock appeared. It could only be the ones being monitored or all but it might be an interesting view. Possibly have a view along with Zach’s ranks and color bulls and bears lists and be able to click to view into the list further.

This is a superb App. I have been using it for 2 or 3 years now and it only gets better. I have hundreds of stocks in about 15 portfolios and have not reached any limitations yet. One very nice feature is that you can have portfolios where the total is not included in the grand total. The developer seems to have thought of everything that an investor could need. It is easy to back up and support is extremely prompt. Stocks Live is better than any other app I've tried and better than any PC program I have found. Update March 2021. Continues to add features without losing simplicity. Great app

This is truly a superb app. I have used virtually every stock app available for my ipad, and this is clearly the best for my application. First of all, StocksLiveBestStockMarket directly downloads my portfolio from my broker and updates prices and value realtime, and does this accurately without a hitch. Second, it gives me month by month data for expected dividend payments based on the amount of each stock I own. Third, it shows daily change and change since purchase for each stock. Fourth, it shows up-coming ex-dividend dates and pay dates for each of my stocks, and also the earnings dates & estimated earnings for each stock. And, finally, the charting is very adequate, and the whole app is fast and rock solid. The above is why I purchased StocksLiveBestStockMarket , but it offers a whole lot more. I should also mention that I was having a problem with StocksLiveBestStockMarket not recognizing some of my stock symbols because my broker used a different symbol convention for certain stocks. I contacted support and got an immediate response with a fix in just a few minutes. I was very grateful and totally blown away by the support! StocksLiveBestStockMarket meets and exceeds my needs, and I can’t imagine it wouldn’t be extremely useful for almost everyone.

Great app, as it has always been. Most recent updates are great, but the big reasons to own StocksLiveBestStockMarket are somewhat hidden.

The ability to have a watchlist and a separate group of “portfolios” which is really powerful as a watchlist that tags the price when you started tracking it.

Also, the heatmap view is the only way I’m able to manage a portfolio of more then 10 positions. Looking on Webull or TOS at a big list is cumbersome. Seeing it all, simply red to green, gives you places to focus your attention and the rest you can easily put on the side burner.

The simple lime charts on the numbers view have a Y axis that must be some sort of support/resistance because they change based on the chart you’re looking at and match up with Fibonaccis quite often. Better then any simple line charts for spotting patterns like ascending triangles and pennants, etc.

Tons of scanners, pretty nice! New ones all the time. Haven’t used the stocktwits thing yet but I’m sure I will. Thanks!

I have been using Stocks Live to manage my portfolio for the past 5-years. During this time its functionality has increased by leaps and bounds. With the incorporation of stocks tape into StocksLiveBestStockMarket , inclusion of Zack's ranking and now new charting, it has become even more powerful. It is easy to use and new releases are very stable. The icing on the cake is a responsive developer who is constantly seeking ways to enhance StocksLiveBestStockMarket while still keeping it easy to use. I am using the Apple on my iPhone running the public beta of iOS 11 and have not experienced any crashes or unexplained behaviour. This is an App that is solid as a rock and has been built to last!

Not a big trader but needed something fast and graphically oriented to view my positions. Price was steep but you do get a lot for the money. My previous favorite was Portfolio Live but that app stopped updating and with every iOS update StocksLiveBestStockMarket lost functionality. StocksLiveBestStockMarket has filled that void with its features and fast updates. Kudos to the development team in maintaining StocksLiveBestStockMarket . I feel that if I paid the whole package price then I should receive future updates without purchasing any additional fees for the updates.
Also needs the ability for data on the buying and selling of stocks to see positions past and present.

I’ve tried multiple stock tracking and analysis apps, and have found this one to be my “go to” app for tracking and analysis. What makes StocksLiveBestStockMarket better is the support.

I sent an email at 5 AM and received a response at 5:15 AM. We (the developer and I) went back and forth for a short while and he completely answered my questions.

I’m not going to dock a star but I would love to have a 1-day trial of the paid features to know if I want to buy them all or simply select key add-ons that suit my needs. That is my only complaint, but since it isn’t a problem with StocksLiveBestStockMarket , I continue to stand by my 5-star rating.

by TATSR

I have been using StocksLiveBestStockMarket for several years and while I don’t own every feature I have to say it is the most complete and easy to use financial app for tracking and evaluating stocks and maintaining your portfolio. But probably equally as important to the application itself is support. I have had occasion to contact support several times over the last couple years and I must say it far exceeded my expectations. In each case my emails were answered within an hour and the answers were complete, concise, and easy to understand. My hats off to the developers and support personnel of this application. Well done!

by Supermag15

StocksLiveBestStockMarket is excellent and full of useful info that i havent even tapped into yet. I would really like to see super, real time, constantly changing, price changes like on google finance and stocktracker live. It would also be awesome if you could have the premarket and post market changes on the same square also showing the closing price in comparison. Id like to have a entry line for stock symbol adding instead of going to the edit function and adding it to the line... Seems counterproductive for me. What else...thats it so far that bugged me... Otherwise the graphics are eye catching and fun to watch when its bright green And sucky when bright red. Great job on StocksLiveBestStockMarket! Love it.

This application is very wide and very deep it also is a great addition to any stock traders background or information hub. From scanners to gurus to education to any type of fund or anything like that it's incredible I really really started making money in increasing my percentage increase rate in confidence right when I purchased the ultimate or mega pack I think it was $75 total or something like that which includes the screener and there's 450 different versions of screening from shooting star too strong so strong by reversals volume Gaynor's earnings within the next seven days and then you name it it's there for 80 bucks total for 90 bucks total whatever I spent I really value this application

by Skipugh

I’ve tried others but this is the best. The Developer responds super quick to any questions and keeps adding functionality. It just added a compare function that lets you decide which stocks and what information related to those stocks you want to see. Save lots of time and going back and forth. Track and can trade in real time. Easy to use. I’ve set up all of my portfolios here. Tracks upcoming dividends as well as all the financial stats you could want. Can set up dummy portfolios to test different investing strategies. Great developer, always improving and acts as well as listens to your suggestions. Has a great AI for Dividends. It looks at future dividends better than Morning Star or just dumb history.

I really like StocksLiveBestStockMarket and use it in the last 2 years to manage all my stock portfolios. This is feature rich, yet very intuitive and easy to use. I love it! But what makes it really special for me and different from other similar stock apps is the great customer obsession of its developer Ilam! Every question or issue I submit gets prompt response. As Israeli user I have a unique set of protfolios in USD and ILS currencies. I found a bug couple of days ago in the ILS currency calculation and after a quick turnaround process, Ilam repro'd, identified the bug and sent me screen capture to ensure it was properly fixed. In 48h I got an app update with a working fix. This is world class support! Great app and great developer!

As a long time stock trader I have tried the majority of Apps available for the iPhone. I desired real time quotes, financial stats, comprehensive graphing, analyst ratings and current news. Stocks Live is the only app I found which provides all the above. Additionally, you can customize the features to your needs with add-on modules. It is rare when an app can provide all the relevant data found with computer research. Stocks Live does. Love the Zacks Rating and Guru Purchases / Recommendations. BTW....customer service from Cinnamon Mobile is excellent. Very responsive to any question I may have. Only additional feature I would like to see is a price alert. Allow the user to set a given price per equity and an alert indicator executes when that price is met.

This is my top investment app! I would give it 10 stars if I could. The developer recently added a powerful feature I have not found in any other mobile app or PC based program: “ARR” (in the Profit & Loss view). This can be used to immediately view the average % growth rate of the purchase price over the time you have held a security. This allows you to quickly scan your portfolios with a metric that provides an “apples to apples” performance comparison of each holding. Also, you have the option to calculate the ARR on a linear basis (“Run Rate” useful for stocks held less than one year) and compounded basis (“Rate of Return” useful for stocks held for more than one year). This feature alone will pay for StocksLiveBestStockMarket 100 times over! StocksLiveBestStockMarket has very complete analytical data, charting, graphics, and links to a wide range of resources. I have been using hundreds of IOS apps over the past several years and the developer’s response to questions and feedback is incredibly fast.

I bit the bullet with the full paid upgrade and am still exploring the benefits but so far I’m happy with the decision. This is an organized and quick way for me to stay dialed in to what’s going on and perform quick analysis on the go.

I do wish there would be integration with other brokerages, as mine is not available (Schwab). Also I wish the earnings calendar didn’t require me to click each date to see what earnings reports were upcoming. Everything I like about StocksLiveBestStockMarket is in the efficiency I have in my hands and I hope to see some great updates over time to continue to provide that in ever increasing ways.

Thanks!
