TipRanks Stock Market Analysis

I really like this app, viewing the price target of a stock, as well as the analyst activity and smart score, have helped me make more educated investment decisions. BUT… They don’t allow you the option of selecting fractional shares, nor do they allow you to change the date of when you added a stock to your portfolio. For example, I own fractional shares of AMZN & GOOGL, but because there’s no fractional share option, my smart portfolio indicates I own full shares of each, greatly (and negatively) skewing my portfolio data, which is not helped up and makes things more difficult, especially when I’m trying to analyze my investor profile accurately. Every other big investment website allows you to customize the dates of when you bought the stock as well (like Morningstar, Finviz, etc), but not TipRanks, so again, I bought a bunch of stocks in 1 day according to them because you can’t edit the date of when you invested in them, which obviously also skews me investor data. So because of this, TipRanks is counterintuitive, since the goal is to build your investor profile and make more informed decisions using the investor profile tools, but they shoot themselves in the foot because they lack the ability to functionality to add fractional shares and the actual date that you invested in the stock. Once those 2 functionalities are added, I will change my review from 3/5 to a 5/5, because there are some helpful investing tools that this app offers.

After a day in the TipRanks ecosystem, I do like the service and the app quite a bit. I had shopped around and pretty much settled on TipRanks to get my stock game to the next level. That being said, I went to subscribe to the Premium service on the website and then found it was a bit cheaper via the app. The button on the app said Free Trial or something similar. As soon as I clicked that I was billed for a year immediately. I was expecting a 7 day window to try things out, but billing was immediate. I am happy with the Premium service but the wording about free trial in the app is misleading. I could also do without all the ads/buttons/banners touting the Ultimate service on the website. I know what it is and I’ll upgrade to that later if I think I can use it. But I’ve paid enough money already to not be blasted with promotions for a higher tier.

TipRanks is nothing short of a revolution in the financial analytics world. Their conglomeration of data puts vital, accurate and valuable information literally at your fingertips, at the touch of a button. This app, in addition to their already extensive website platform, is intuitive and easy to navigate. I never felt more comfortable with my investments as when I used TipRanks to do my research. It’s financial information on steroids! In fact, their tools help guide me towards new investments and understand current trends in the market. After a minute on the app you’ll never make another financial move without first working it out through their rigorous data sets... You’d be foolish not to.
