Stocktwits

Update in Aug 2022: the overheating issue has become a major problem again since the last month or so, I'd say. And I'm now on iPhone 13 Pro Max! I originally wrote about the same issue on my 11 Pro Max below... I've noticed since 3 months or so ago, whatever updates they did caused the app to use an insane amount of cellular data. Not sure if it's the streaming ads or some other aspects of the app, but it's literally consuming hundreds of MB's everytime I switch to use the app. So after using it several times, 1 GB of cell data would be consumed. This makes it unusable except when on wifi. I've emailed to report this but haven't gotten a reply, nor have I seen improvement from the app. Another weird thing is the app has recently been literally heating up my iPhone (11 Pro Max) when I use it. My phone heats up noticeably after using the app for a bit. And as soon as I close the app, my phone cools back down so I'm sure it's due to the stocktwits app. What in the heck is it doing that it's stressing the phone processor that much? UPDATE: Couple months and few app version updates later, and the above issues still have NOT been addressed, even though their developers have been "looking into it". I've since read more reviews with the same problems. It uses ridiculous amount of cell data, making it unusable. And even if you were on wifi, you can't use it for long because it overheats the phone like a grill and drains battery.

I’m just an average traitor playing with my own funds in retirement investments. Well I think many of the users on this board are they traders and many or short selling, there’s a lot of folks like me that are also long-term investors and people who do not do this for a living. I love being able to check in on my watch list of stocks and I can’t really valuable insights from the members on the board. There’s a healthy amount of playful banter and prodding, but that’s what keeps the boards life late. I appreciate people sharing what they’ve learned in the market and what they’ve discerned from various earnings reports and sources, as well as random personal guesses and speculation. At Times it’s funny and silly, at times it’s genuinely educational and insightful, and at times it’s a good resource to ask for thoughts and insights from others in the same boat. Again, as the average consumer, not an expert, I’m glad I found this app and sight.

I’m surprised the entity and its owners haven’t been involved in a lawsuit yet. I’ve had a few accounts on this platform that were blocked for allegations of abuse, spam, manipulation. I committed none of the above but I have seen plenty of the above committed by hundreds if not thousands. There are several “accounts” on the platform that are non-functional but still the platform (like the old twitter and old LinkedIn) retain these old, non-used accounts simply to inflate the hype or viewership of a stock symbol. Just the other day, I was warned not to share an idea about another stock symbol if it wasn’t related to the original stock symbol of another. The problem is: it was related but StockTwits platform liberally chooses segregation and discrimination of its account holders. I bet if I was giving this platform money all of my posts would be accepted and I would have never had any of my accounts blocked. There is much manipulation on this platform regarding penny stocks. Now there are chat rooms and I suspect these rooms are harboring illicit conversations in an attempt to illegally short stocks. I gave this 2 stars because there have been a couple friendly, non manipulative accounts who have shared their ‘advise’ without manipulation or abuse. However, this platform has far more abusive chatter than any other platform I’ve known to exist. Lastly, if an account holder gives a true account backed by facts but another account holder dislikes the truth they can and will falsely advise the platform’s moderators that you have committed a wrong. If your opinion is not popular you will get reported. In the end, this platform will eventually cease to exist.
