Stocks Tracker:Real-time stock Reviews

by Thisisapieceofcrsp

I used stock tracker almost every day for 2+ years and finally deleted out of frustration today. Up until a few months ago pop up ads were minimal but starting this year when you open StocksTracker the screen is taken over by a pop up in less than two seconds which is incredibly intrusive. Understand that people are going to open StocksTracker 5-10 times a day just to take a quick look at the market. I understand there is a need for adds to fund StocksTracker but I just want to take a quick look at a stock or market I don’t want to play “wack a mole” literally every single time I open StocksTracker , even just for a 2sec look at the markets. If you want to spam with ads maybe do that after the screen is up 5-10 sec? I’m going back to using the stock tracker that was imbedded in my phone when I got it. To be clear stock tracker people, I deleted your app because your adds are too intrusive!

This company has just updated it’s app and actually in my opinion it is a downgrade. Each time I log into it on my iPhone it has automatically returned it to the default specifications for the charts. This never happened before the update. I have to get rid of everything that’s on there and put in my custom indicators myself. In addition one of the big drawback is that I found is that after the end of the day there is no date on the chart to indicate what day it is. I have to write the date in after I print the chart out and this is to be done and every security that I print the chart out for. I really like the outlay of the chart when it is stable. Customer service has also been extremely lacking. I have communicated with the current company at least three times and have not received one response back at all. This is a serious deficiency because problems to do pop-up have no way of being communicated to the company or if they do get my email They certainly do not take the courtesy to send or give me a reply very unprofessional

I thought StocksTracker was really strong in the beginning, and I subscribed to the “Elite Pro”
Membership. Even though the interface is awful by today’s standards the functionality and utility of StocksTracker was undeniable. However, within a few weeks of subscribing my brokerage account from Fidelity stopped working. And in a subsequent update it looks like they’ve removed the ability to integrate with brokerage accounts at all. I contacted tech support to ask what the issue was or for a road map and never heard back from them at all. Also, they have a web site but there’s no login with Apple option so if you use that on StocksTracker you won’t be able to view anything you have saved in terms of watch lists on the web.
So i unsubscribed. Hope they fix these issues or someone else makes an app with good real time stocks and a nice interface because they could easily siphon users like me.

The new update that occurred in early November, 2020, made the widget experience much more inferior. There was nothing wrong with the way widgets behaved before the update. There was a widget that allowed one to cycle through multiple categories before the update. It’s now gone. Instead of two widgets: one with the favorite portfolio and one that could cycle through multiple categories there are now three widgets, and one of them is totally useless. I can’t get all the information I need in widgets anymore, so now I have to open StocksTracker itself.

I’ll get used to it, but this is not an improvement. If you wanted to improve on the previous widgets, you should have made the one that cycled through multiple categories customizable. But you simply nuked it.

StocksTracker is now ad supported which is a huge downgrade to the UX from previous versions. While I’ve enjoyed the free app for ages and appreciate the need for the developer to monetize their product, there is no pricing structure for infrequent traders like myself that don’t need the full feature set they offer.

I’d gladly pay a fixed amount for StocksTracker for basic functionality and continued support, but I’m not going to pay $10/mo for a boatload of features I have no need for. I hope the developer provides a fixed price ad-free version as a middle tier vs. the high cost subscription, otherwise it’s time for a new app. I imagine a large portion of their user base is probably similar to myself so would be a shame for them to leave money on the table due to poor pricing structure.

When I downloaded StocksTracker, it had a great discussion board, news that was relevant and accurate after hours and premarket quotes. Since, it has nothing but ads, worthless and repetitive articles in the discussion board. Also, the discussion doesn't update and still old conversations from back in January when people did have actual discussions on the platform. Also, until recently the news board had nothing but Trump bashing news. I see that, that has subsided in recent days, however. Premarket and after hours quotes have not been accurate. Many times, I see a stock I've been following be up or down big on here. Then I try to find news to justify the move and there is nothing and no evidence of the move even happening on the Nasdaq or any other market news site.

Their new update is terrible. Downgraded from 5 stars I have an ad sticking its nose in before I can see the program. If I try to enter a transaction, I get some other menu with paper trades, etc. I have trouble asking it to Le me enter a transaction. I get all other screens when I really just want to see the numbers. I’d pay money to get the old version back, but not a too-high monthly subscription.
MY PRIOR REVIEW ↓

This is the best stock market program. It gives fast updates and prices. It allows you to enter your purchases. Then it tells you how much you are up or down that day and since you bought it. I don't see where it uses the date you bought..annualized return?The alert function works and tells when the price moves happen Also I paid extra for some charts which are very little and too small to read. Hard on a small screen i guess Research may be done on a different app. But generally following how'm I doin' in the market today this is my favorite. (Would like to get as rapid stock updates as possible)
LATER still the best. Paid for the more rapid prices veil see how that works out. But if you only have one stock program, this is the one!

by Sherrielle

I like StocksTracker, but lately my alerts have been getting triggered after hours somehow. Usually it is an alert that I set for a stock going below a certain price. Anyway, there is no indication that the stock fell in after hours trading for the alert to be triggered. I end up having several alerts that need to be reset in the morning. I hope this gets fixed.
Update: My stocks alerts continue to be triggered when the market is closed or on weekends. Just the alerts for price going below a level. It's irritating, but I just have to reset all of my alerts every day. I'm afraid I won't believe my stock is truly falling, because I'll just think it was falsely triggered again.

by BuckeyeEric

StocksTracker is great for having multiple portfolios and multiple stocks within them. Where I would like to see improvements is in maintaining the transaction log (being able to edit a transaction). When adding transactions to portfolios with lots of activities, it would be nice to have the “Add Transaction” are in a fixed position at the top of the list and show all of the fields right away. As it is, it is at the bottom and when you hit add you have to scroll and it still doesn’t show left/right on an iPad 10.5”. Locking it to the required width and pinning it to the top of the transaction panel would be a huge improvement for entering transactions.

I could go on and on for at least 5 more starry words..... But for those who become bored easily, I'll spare the "scrink" (screen ink).

StocksTracker is far and away the very best of its kind. I am no spring chicken (i.e. I have a bit of experience), I have used more than a few apps like this, and some are pretty good...... But this is the crème de la crème.

And it is free ....... and NOT "too good to be true"....

If you don't have it, and have ANY need for stocks related data, GET it !!!!!

If you have it.... Congrats !!!!! You are clearly a fast learner.

My most appreciative thank you goes out to the developer of this fine ios based app. Great creative software design, development, and distribution.

Thank you,
Rontenfour

PS - I've added a new device recently, and during the re-install process I've discovered, and now use, several additional features of this outstanding app. Did you know you can access your account at your own broker and have daily (minute to minute) performance summary data right there on the screen every time you open StocksTracker . And no need to login to your broker's site. It's right here at a tap on the screen. Thanks again to this fine development team.

This is the best stocks app I could find anywhere. I’ve looked through everything available on StocksTracker sites and there’s nothing that compares in my estimation. I hate sitting in front of computers so StocksTracker on my iPad makes keeping up with my portfolio extremely easy. I mean it’s almost a one glance kind of thing. And you can keep a watch list as well as your portfolio in different places. Watching a particular stock? No problem. Need to look at the chart? No problem. Are there things that I wish they could add to the charts? Yes indeed. I would love to be able to apply Bollinger bands and trend lines but The charts provided can give you a lot of information. All in all IMHO the best stock app anywhere.

by Dwsb

This is the best and only app I use to quickly track the many stock watch lists I have established. It simulates very well the stock charting of the brokerage app that I have while offering so much more in the way of summarizing quickly and efficiently technical indicators on all time frames. I particularly like the ability to quickly scan different charts of the stocks on my lists. The discussion section as a source to get tips on other stocks is terrific. I use it throughout the day every day and really like the fact that I can keep track of all the stocks in detail that I hold and am watching while doing other things or am traveling. In short, I would be lost without it!

by Pharmking

This thing only gets better, you can consolidate your Accts I one place without any of the baggering to do this or that with your funds.

This program works great for those who run multiple portfolios. It gives a perfect overview of each account along with a review of test projects you may elect to run. I have found StocksTracker to be perfect for my needs.
I continue to appreciate all that goes into the type of digital tools you provide us for little to nothing. An even bigger plus is you are constantly updating the program and I have seen the improvements first hand. I use this everyday. Thank you for being the best you can be.

I'm an active trader. I've used this for years. The last update destroyed the user experience. Ads pop up every second(no exaggeration). You'll close the ad and another will pop up. You can't even use StocksTracker for its intended purpose. 1 star for now. 5 stars if they fix this soon. I hate to leave it.

(I NEVER leave reviews, especially bad ones. The fact I'm writing this should tell you how disappointed I am.)

Update: They fixed it and we’re good to go now. I use it every single day with only a few occasional ads, which is fine for me because I don’t expect these people to work for free. Good job and please don’t change it ever again. Thanks in,advance!

by BIG#1BEAR

I have been using StocksTracker for several years. I use StocksTracker 24-hours a day. I can replace other apps on my iPhone/iPad but I feel this is one app I could not replace. StocksTracker just keep getting better. If you are serious about the market this is a must have. UPDATE: A lot of water under the bridge. I have been using StocksTracker for over 10-years now. It is still the most important app I have on iPhone-iPad-Windows desktop. I have gone to the ELITE level. I felt I should be paying for an app that is so important to me and the ELITE level does offer me some additional benefits. Keep up the good work.

Oct 10, 2020. I am up 25% YTD (S&P500 is +5%) largely due to the power of StocksTracker. When I place a limit order on Fidelity, I see that quote immediately in StocksTracker. Having real-time extended-hours quote for pennies a day is amazing. If you’re an active trader, buy StocksTracker - today! Have used this for years now. Use it everyday to track my portfolio, and I’m an active trader. Love StocksTracker. It’s the best there is. I have the paid version, and actually upgraded to premium ($10/mth) because I felt a little guilty getting so much value for so little money. Has helped me make tens of thousands of dollars. You will not get as much instant data and charts anywhere. Better than Barchart. Better than StockCharts. Better - and much faster - than Fidelity.

The stock tracker instantly provide me with the information that I need to make a quick decision about doing a trade we’re doing additional research in the alerts are extremely helpful I have been a senior executive in major brokerage firms in the capital markets. And would recommend the product to anyone. I do most of my own research and decide which to buy. Stock tracker keeps me up on my positions. They provide timely detailed notes from corporate conference calls which are invaluable as well as timely comments from relevant and reputable research analysis .. new charts harder to read

by Four D Glasses

The stock market is a vast ocean to navigate and depending on your investment objectives you need a financial compass to chart your course. To zero in specific details StocksTracker has the traditionally important search function to ascertain the financial category of interest. The performance chart is conveniently displayed simultaneously with the price quote delivering a current and overall picture without the need to plod through additional screen views. Along with a screen dedicated to a list of the major indices StocksTracker allows you to add your stock searches on a screen dedicated to your tailored selection. The ease with which you can weave in and out of the plethora of financial data due to the logical design of StocksTracker empowers you to create a way to map your financial quest.

Love to create and name my own categories. I am able to keep track of my stocks at work. I leave StocksTracker open on my desk and trade when needed, it only takes seconds. Read the news on my stocks over lunch. Is all there!

All true. Very informative and easy to see the indicators that are important to me (and also I find not useful, but am sure someone uses it). Creating and grouping industries is awesome for me too! I have Oil and Gas, then categories: Exploration, drilling, transport, etc, then have the individual stocks. I also make a favorites to keep an eye on certain ones I get gut feels on. And so on and so on.

I am sure there is an improvement, but no idea what that would be. StocksTracker has made me an investment addict and I enjoy the ride. Started sharing with my kids too. GREAT APP!!

Thanks for looking out for the people who are doing there best. It is really scaring out there when this is the first time trying to understand the ins and outs of investing. This has been very calming to read article, and not want money from you at the end, that how they trick or treat you at the end. So if you are like me and hopefully that you won’t be the one being trick or treated at the and it never ceases to amazed you after all that information and reading thinking you are about to receive it, WOW money is asked for, and feel cheated you feel for a better word mentality raped. Check The Motley Fools, casing point. Read All That Information, and Then You Will Recieve an E-Mail, and for the LOVE of GOD, time, then money, headaches on top of sleep.I am no MBA but I know when I have been had. Good-Luck out there

I use it a few times a week. I have found some of the dividend data was wrong. And some of the features on the front page will not work, but then again, I haven't updated to the full version. I'm still deciding. But it is worth try to new comers.
Did an update and now app locks up or just closes. Data is still incorrect and ticker symbols are getting crossed up with similar symbols. Ads are slow to load and lock up App until they get finished. It's like StocksTracker got worse with this update.

Now, a couple updates later, this program works smoother with min lockup’s but the news is still lagging at times , unless it’s the issues of the world at the time. Not sure if it reports in Real Time. Sometimes it seems to be in Real Time.

I use StocksTracker while I’m on the go, so I haven’t noticed if the prices are entirely accurate, but I can rarely even get the after hours prices to show up.
For general purposes, it has decent functions although sometimes they simply do not work. I have set up alerts before, just to never be notified, and missed my chance at selling a stock. I can also NEVER see the charts for the indices, it just shows up as a blank chart. However, I know many people that is able to see it on their phones.

Most frustrating though, are the constant ads that not only show up, but also sometimes crashes the whole app. Another frustrating thing is that the chart settings sometimes just resets to default for no reason, and suddenly you find out during market hours and have to spend 15 minutes setting everything up again. Then a few months later, you gotta do it all again. I have been considering getting the paid version to avoid ads, but have not been convinced that the resetting issue would resolve.

TL;DR - on good days it’s a decent app, on bad days it’s a piece of crap

Not getting the volumes coming through properly. But the charts and are fine. I use the rsi, vol weighted average, Mac d, stochastic, volume, bollinger bands.. I’ve run across a few bugs. But overall, I like it. I wish I could get the full charts, but I’m not paying for full service. But I may once the market starts cooperating with me on the bullish side. I’m an oil stock trader so it’s not been easy lately. I trade from the iPhone and loved it when I had the full compliment of charts. Now, I’m not using quiet as much. I understand their need to make money, but I need to make some too. Made 1000 percent in 2016. List half of that last two years. Ha they may sell me the full package once I pop the market again.

by Grand Master V

No response or support from the developer but was able to figure it out myself. Decent app but not the most accurate and lack of support. It’s only good if you need know the ballpark value of your stock.

Developer, can you advise why the IPad version is not the full unlock version when I’ve already paid $15 for the full version on my iPhone. The iPhone version is full unlock w/o ads. iPad version wants me to buy again. Are they not the same. Does it really cost $30 to own it on both phone and tablet? This review reflects the 2x cost. If this is not accurate, advise and review will be amend.

Fast updates of price quotes. Lots of financial data.
However found trading volumes (closing) and closing stock prices sometimes are way off from other financial reports, such as Google Finance and those from Seeking Alpha.
Hope they can improve and keep report accurate data.

Today 11/24, the stock prices stuck at 11/22 while the market is opened. The charts however are current. Such a quirky app... poor support, doesn’t fix issues quickly, does not reply to questions. Think I will delete this since there are many stock apps out there.
