More information available and very intuitive than most .when using other sites I had to come back to Yahoo finance to get complete picture I would give five stars except so many times I click on a certain story when I get there I am asked to subscribe , even though the same story that needs subscription you can find it for free on another site. Public information should not require subscription. Very frustrating to click on story then it tells you you need to subscribe, I understand the reason behind it ,but if the story is public knowledge then it should be read without the annoying subscribe first ,if the story is exclusive to that site only then I understand someone need to subscribe. Most of the time it is not Yahoo but others who put the story on Yahoo then ask for subscription before finishing reading the news.

Apr 25 - This app just seems to keep getting worse and worse with every update and this latest one was a forced update for charts, so no way to keep what worked before. The April version made the various views look like garbage and hid the most convenient elements that used to be there. I have over a hundred stocks in one of my watch lists and I used to be able to see a couple dozen per page and view daily changes easily with a quick glance. Now, only about 6 to 10 stocks show up per page and there is no way to change the zoom / text size. Changing my master size settings for my phone would throw off all my other apps that look normal. Then they got rid of the really handy time-period selection at the bottom of charts where you could quickly select a 1 mo / 6 mo / 1 yr / 5 yr view. Now you have to click a drop-down list and fiddle to scroll through the choices. And the charts just look terrible now, especially with multiple comparisons added to one chart. YAHOO - PLEASE FIRE THE WHOLE PROGRAMMING TEAM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THEY DESTROY WHAT YOU HAVE LEFT OF THE FINANCE APP COMPLETELY! IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE WITH EVERY SINGLE UPDATE! 2024 - Everything about this latest update is terrible. I used to have my chosen portfolio always visible and could search tickers right from there, but now it’s a chore to get anywhere. You can’t even search for another stick ticker from one of your watched stock lists. Please revert back to the previous version, which just worked.

I use this app daily and am so grateful to have access to it, however, for the last year there has been a syncing issue that has gotten progressively worse. Since I don’t make big changes it wasn’t a big deal at first. But over time I have made some new acquisitions and lately a few reallocations. These shifts in funds have not been accurately demonstrated in the app. This means that the app is showing a totally different portfolio than what I have. I’ve had to manually add the new assets into a separate folder to follow them. This does not give me an accurate portrayal of my finances. I’ve searched for a fix but only seem to come up with things that place the burden on my end. For example, clear my cache. I find that to be the most basic response when a company isn’t working to solve the issue. There are so many people frustrated with this issue. Additionally, if you are aiming towards having all parties paying customers, it seems a better tactic to have an extremely good working app and charge in tiers. Personally, I would consider paying a small subscription fee for a working app over an app that doesn’t work. As it stands now, I would not pay for this app service. It is very unfortunate because this app is vital with the information it provides. I’m hopeful a fix or some support for this issue can be provided.
