Seeking Alpha: News & Analysis for Negative User Reviews
✓ They broke the appNotifications are a total mess. Comments need to be moderated so they stay on topic. I hate reading comments about how great trump is, or how terrible. Go on Facebook for that. I want to read about stocks. For every good comment are ten comments on unrelated stuff from uninformed bobble heads. SA is in such a rush to monetize that they’re not maintaining quality. I’m a paying member but now they have contributors with a paywall so now the contributors will write articles teasing what’s behind their paywall. They’ve added new contributors that aren’t as good. They can’t make it as an actual analyst so they spew noise on this app. They should allow discussions of stocks and not just articles. I would like to see more debate about a stock and not an article..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Too Damn ExpensiveLove the site and the content. Just too expensive..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Used to workThis app used to be my regular source of insightful analyst news and comment, but recent updates have rendered it unusable. On the ever fewer occasions I do open it I generally find myself staring at a blank screen. Hopeless..Version: 3.10.3
✓ Horrible researchIt seems to me as though their researchers show bias and are market manipulators shorting stocks they talk malice of. I will not be supporting anything like this. Disgusting..Version: 5.0.5
✓ NotificationsPlease bring Notifications back. From the looks of it a lot of people are upset with the deletion of this. Disappointed.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Going to Delete - Poor Recommendations Bad PricingSeeking Alpha advice is terrible first and foremost. They will rank stocks as a strong buy one month and strong sell the next, their inconsistencies and flip-flopping in recommendations make them an unreliable resource. Furthermore when you pay for a premium service, absolutely don’t believe the price will be the same for renewal the next year. I had a $99 annual subscription that renewed at $239 the next year. Last, everything seems to be behind a paywall now, even basic market news and earnings call transcripts. This content, which is available everywhere else for free, is what kept me coming to Seeking Alpha and what up sold me on premium service. Now that they want me to pay for that, I’m jumping ship and going to another platform. It’s been a decent run that turned downhill fast and I won’t be looking back soon..Version: 5.7.0
✓ Good info wrapped in a buggy appThere is a lot to like in this app. There are many authors that present their opinions on a wide range of investing ideas and equities. The problem is that the app is very “buggy”. I recently went through a several day period where when you clicked on an article, the app would crash and give me a blank white screen. This seems to have been fixed but now the app will only occasionally let me delete articles I’ve read. Repeated taps on the clear button get no response from the app.I am a premium subscriber but will not resubscribe unless the app becomes more reliable..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Whoops, you broke the app!“The data could not be read because it isn’t in the correct format” is the pop up error message I get when trying to post comments. Clearly, this is censorship since many other people are still able to post comments. Someone complained about this in the feedback forum three months ago but the post remains unanswered by SA support staff. When I tried replying to that comment, the app prompted me to sign up and sign in, even though I’m already signed in! When entering in my user email address, it prompted me to create a new account. Finally, whenever I try scrolling down my list of portfolio stocks, the app often inexplicably jumps up in the scrolling - something that never happened in previous versions. You would think such a long-standing and widely-used app, especially one used for financial advice, would have better quality control, better feedback forum response habits and be above censoring posts. These practices are shoddy at best and shameful at worst..Version: 3.10.3
✓ Can’t watch articles - current version issueCurrently, this app is refreshing while reading articles on both of my phones..Version: 5.1.9
✓ What Have You Guys Done?Turned a once great app to a sub-standard one. The price refresh worked seamlessly before. Now the prices are stagnant even though market is already open. Someone should be testing this more vigorously before releasing it to the public..Version: 3.8.4
✓ No premium featuresStill under development.Version: 5.0.5
✓ Change in PolicyUp until 2021, the app worked great. We were able to view a limited number of articles monthly. That was suitable for me who would check out no more than 5 or less articles a week. Starting this year they reduce the monthly free article limit to an undisclosed number which seems like zero. Now you are confronted with a sales pitch to buy a monthly or annual subscription. The cost seems like something that can easily be paid for when you’re a day trader but for someone who is just managing there personal non-day trader account, it is a substantial cost that can’t be justified. Unfortunately, I think this will be the feeling of most and most will learn to do away with Seeking Alpha and this app. Just a word to the wise. It is a shame that some of the authors will lose their followers. The limit is not identified in the link the developer has provided. Is it something to be ashamed of? I can stay within the limits but they need to be posted and not a trap..Version: 5.1.5
✓ It changed!!!I used to love the app. One of the best one out there before. Now the update made it into something impossible to use. It doesnt make sense anymore. Too inconvenient and confusing. Please bring the old template back..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Great AppReally like this app. The only improvement I could suggest is provided commenter stats and comment within the app as at the moment need to go out into safari to see comment totals. I'd also like running stat of likes per comment to see who provides most useful comments.Version: 3.2.7
✓ Great resource. Glitchy app.I’m a few months into a year-long premium subscription, and I do most of my stock research on my phone. The resource is fantastic when I works… but I can reliably expect the app to freeze on a loading screen about half of the time I try to open an article, search a company, or even tap the search bar. I’ve tried everything - deleted and re-installed the app multiple times, restarted my phone multiple times, made sure everything from the app to my phone’s OS is up to date (feel like I’m developing OCD from how often I've checked). Nothing has worked to fix the problem. If you do your research on PC or laptop, I highly recommend Seeking Alpha as I have had no issues on those devices. If you mostly use your phone, don’t bother with them - the app will only cause you a headache. Unless they patch this glitch before my subscription ends, I won’t be renewing..Version: 5.6.2
✓ Completely BrokenShows a login screen that can not connect to Seeking Alpha and cannot add any stock to the watch lists after update. They should test before pushing an update. I expect small bugs but not an unusable app..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Good contentBut needs to incorporate non-US tickers (esp Canadian).Version: 5.1.7
✓ Trash 🚮1. They hold your account hostage. There is no way to delete your account instead they tell you to email them to deactivate your account. I don’t want my account deactivated i want my account permanently deleted. 2. The Seeking Alpha Community has to many liars and emotional cowards in it. They write Articles telling people to buy stocks that left them holding the bag. I seen them delete honest comments. The people they give this ability is corrupting the app experience. 3. I only bought premium because i like seeing 10+ years of company financial data. But i stopped paying for it due to SA allowing emotional cowards to ruin the community..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Buggy as hellIncredibly buggy, white screen every few minutes that only a hard restart will fix, all that for $360 a year. And the UI/UX is the worst of all my 200 apps. How can it still look like it’s from the 90s? Get some inspiration from Wealthsimple..Version: 6.0.0
✓ This used to be a good app- not anymore.Don’t waste your time with this app. When I first started using the app, all articles were free. It was a great way to start the day with some investing news that had kind of a folksy tone. Then they started restricting free articles to those published in the prior two weeks. Ok, so it was not as good as before but still useful. Then came the bomb. Beginning Jan. 4, only 5 articles A MONTH are free. I am not kidding. Anytime you attempt to read an article, a pop up appears trying to get your money for an expensive subscription. This is a definite bait and switch tactic. Get you hooked on the investment articles, and then hit you with an expensive subscription demand. The same information is available elsewhere for free. Good bye Seeking Alpha! I have unsubscribed from your email and will read articles for free elsewhere..Version: 5.1.4
✓ US not UKDoesn’t provide info on uk funds so useless , should be marked as USA-specific.Version: 5.1.5
✓ It crashes every time I try to open the appI have update the app with the latest version but it is still crashing as soon as i open it. Could you please fix it?i have to use the web version but most of the time it tries to redirect to the app, and crashes again....Version: 3.10.13
✓ Too bad SA is not impartialThey avoid Tesla long investors articles and are unfair.Version: 3.12.5
✓ Simply not worth itI’ve used this app for about 4 years. It’s been okay for tracking your portfolio and keeping up to date on news regarding your holdings. Recently app performance has suffered, crashes during commenting, comments not loading, doubling and tripling of notifications and articles. It can be very frustrating to use the app at times. The comments section used to be filled with well informed users who would point out inaccuracies in an article, or bring up otherwise ignored points. I’m sure those helpful users are still there, but of late they have been almost completely drowned out by commenters who only seem to spew right wing talking points and propaganda, this often leads to someone responding that is spewing left wing talking points and propaganda. Wading through the political crap in the comments section became unbearable for me when I can get the same resources in other apps and without the baggage..Version: 3.12.6
✓ Not worth the moneyFirst I want to admit that I have previously given this app 5 stars. I have used the app for years. The authors are diverse and of varying quality- some are excellent, others less so. The beauty in the past was that nearly all of the content was free. You could spend time and energy sifting through authors whose style, investing and writing, piqued your fancy. Over the past couple of years they have been slowly limiting free content. Increasingly you couldn’t read the most popular authors’ articles after 24hrs, but you could still find plenty of interesting articles to peruse. That all came to a halt this year. You can now get 5 free articles per month, nearly everything else is behind a paywall. What yesterday was free now costs $240/yr. Yes, they need to turn a profit. Yes, they have every right to make such a drastic, sudden change. Yes, many may be willing to pay for their service. I, however, feel there are better products available at that price and won’t be purchasing a premium subscription. Thank you for the good times to my favorite authors (and seeking alpha). It is now time to walk away..Version: 5.1.1
✓ OutdatedWhile some reviews are current many ratings are from fall 2020 or older. And also, some of the writers are Elliot Wave Fanatics who believe that macro trends from 100 years ago are relevant today. As if the invention of the computer and then the internet as well as a world wide investor pool, has not changed everything. There are some good writers..Version: 5.1.8
✓ App hangingPlease fix/update the app. Hangs as soon as launched, wont even scroll.Version: 3.10.7
✓ Don’t bother unless you’re ready to payYou’re limited by the amount of articles you can read unless you pay for a subscription. AND IT DOESN'T HAVE CANADIAN STOCKS. Yahoo finance is the better choice!!.Version: 5.1.8
✓ Would like customize porfolio columnsHi, i always prefer SA to Yahoo because of high quality analysis here. However, i use this fewer and fewer because of the UI is cluttered now. One of the main annoying now is i cant see the full change% column on the portfolio now - as a invester i dont care about the change value for my stock, its the percentage that matters! Please either prioritize change % or give use the ability to reorder it. Thanks.Version: 5.0.7
✓ …App keeps on crashing and saying reset browser and java error stop using Adblock. Press and hold is stupid fix your program..Version: 5.6.1
✓ The latest version is so badThe left menu was redesigned and it makes way difficult to find your articles like WSB. The app started crashing after a month of use. After reinstalling the app, it slowed down my entire iOS. App removed from my iPhone!.Version: 5.7.0
✓ Mediocre, redundant, states the obviousImagine if stock XYZ valued at $100 has gone up $20 over the past 10 days. This app would send you a notification title of one of its MANY opinion based articles. The article creator will claim that he/she is now bullish on stock XYZ, after it’s already gained. Well no duh! Another example: you get another notification for another opinion based analysis article on stock ABC and the many ways why it’s a terrible stock and you shouldn’t buy it. Then over the next few days/weeks, stock ABC jumps 20%, 30%, even 50% or more in value. Yesterday I got a notification from a quality finance app (yahoo finance) advising of a tweet from the president that sent stocks falling. The timing was almost literally 10 minutes before the fall. The other stock/finance apps I have were a little late by as much as 30 min. However, THIS app sent me an alert at approximately 2330 saying: Breaking News “President tweet sends market crashing.” Wow, a little late there by about 8.5 hours. Ridiculous! Other apps offer features FOR FREE that this app likely doesn’t offer in its paid version. But I’m just guessing. Why, would I pay for an app that is so lacking in its free version?.Version: 5.0.8
✓ Seeking Alpha tries to be all things & failsI have been a reader of seeking alpha for over three years. Like anywhere else, you need to find writers that match your style of investing, and they have some to match any style. Unfortunately, SA has recently begun trying to be all things to all people by offering news, stock prices and stock charts to readers and it has caused their app to perform miserably. SA would have been 4 stars until this happened. I can’t understand why they allow this dismal performance for features that users neither need nor want. I have an app that I bought to give me real time price data as well as charts. Why would I want the delayed data offered by SA, particularly when it causes the rest of the app to perform so badly. They should at least allow users to turn off prices and charts..Version: 3.12.0
✓ Poor UpdateThe latest update has ruined the app... in portfolio view, the share prices are rounded up and down! Who in the right mind thought it would be a good idea to round share prices?!?! Also, the pre/post market data isn’t outputting as before, you can only see the percentage change, and with rounded share prices that’s borderline useless..Version: 3.8.3
✓ GarbagePaid for all articles . Garbage decision..Version: 5.1.4
✓ Dark themeIs not available.Version: 3.12.6
✓ App unstable and content paywalledThe app has become very u stable recently and often freezes when opening on my iPhone. I have not noticed the same on my iPad app. The app also has a good chance of crashing g when you post a comment. This has been the case for a while , but is now more common, since they review posts by an editor and added a pop up that tells you just that. The website has become much less useful, since they paywalls off older articles. I don’t think the quality of the articles warrants a paywall, but that’s just my opinion..Version: 3.10.7
✓ Took my money, but didn’t provide the service!I paid for a Premium subscription via the app, but wasn’t permitted access to the premium content I’d paid for! Contacted Seeking Alpha support, who ignored me. Luckily Apple refunded me when I raised the matter. Looks like Seeking Alpha need a competitor!.Version: 5.1.5
✓ Functionality TERRIBLEI would give this either 4 or 5 stars if it actually worked! I can't load stories on stocks when I go in (just gives me a few dot points) also when I load things like comments, it doesn't actually do anything just buffers. Very disappointing as I know the actual content is we'll worth reading..Version: 3.0
✓ Biased and censoredI ignored the rumours and bad reputation about SA, but it quickly became apparent they were true. Some of (most?) of SA’s authors are extremely biased, posting articles with no basis in fact or reality. Any pushback in the comments are heavily censored, especially those that refute the author’s claims, or otherwise make the author look bad. Most commenters seem to be aware of this censorship, as you will frequently see comments like “This comment will probably get deleted, but here’s why the author is wrong...”. It appears that SA censors it’s readers but not its own authors, no matter how biased or wrong they are. It is quite jaw dropping to read some of the “articles” that are allowed to be posted, and presented as “news” or information. Make no mistake, they are heavy in bias, light on facts (or at the very least cherry-picked), and dripping in opinion. So read their articles with a huge grain of salt and skepticism, and don’t bother commenting directly to the author unless you have your kid-gloves on. Otherwise, look forward to an email from the “Seeking Alpha Moderation Team”, informing you that your post was deleted, and that “dismissing the author’s ideas” is not tolerated. No, I’m not even joking. Better yet, if it’s the facts, truth or subjective opinions you are seeking, don’t waste your time with the articles at all. It is quite literally a waste of time and energy..Version: 5.0.9
✓ A Caveat to CanadiansThey do not support any Canadian exchanges. They have been promising to do so for many years, but nothing. Use Yahoo Finance instead..Version: 5.2.50
✓ Obnoxious, pushy migration to app degrades the experienceNot a bad app per se, but: in order to drive you to the app they broke key mobile web functionality, and degraded the web interface with a non-dismissible prompt to get the app. The app forces you through a sign-in process, and they then spam your email till you turn off their updates. I preferred the working web site to the app. I want to access Seeking Alpha as a website, not as an app. I don’t want to replace most websites I visit with apps, I don’t appreciate that choice being forced on me, and I don’t appreciate the unsolicited emails..Version: 2.3.13
✓ Often white screen hangsWhen you open the ticker the screen freezes white. Works after reboot, but often repeats itself. Very bad experience last month.Version: 6.0.0
✓ Careful! It’s a subscription scamI was impressed by a couple of articles the SA group wrote and signed on for a trial or lower tier service. But, just now I have been billed over $200 without warning for a 12 month subscription. I have gone into my account to try to unsubscribe for next year, but it is almost impossible to find out how. The apps Link to ‘manage your subscription’ is a dead one. Stay well away.Version: 7.0.0
✓ Can i get refundThis doesn't have asx listing, please refund.Version: 5.2.51
✓ Stop playing with it!I get your devs might be bored and need something to do, but stop messing with the simple stuff. Now the after hours values are in a separate tab in the portfolio view rather than in the main view when you load up the app? Might be time to go back to Yahoo Finance that still has it in the main view..Version: 5.2.51
✓ Please get rid of comment moderationThe comment moderation is silly! Why regulate comments for even paid users ?.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Top Navigation BarThe black bar at the top of the screen has recently become very skittish, and lurches up and down as the cursor approaches it, even when the user is in the middle of scrolling down through an article while reading it. Making things even worse, the “go back” symbol (“<“) has recently been moved up and is difficult to access now without inadvertently touching the black navigation bar. This problem persists even after deleting the app and reinstalling it..Version: 5.0.7
✓ I Love Seeking Alpha App…… but…..Let’s be clear, I love Seeking Alpha. The information available and articles are amazing. I use this app multiple times per day. The only problem I have is with the app itself. Although I have cleared all notifications, a red bubble with the number 1 still appears on the app icon. It is annoying to look at..Version: 5.2.50
✓ US stocks onlyThis app only works if you invest in US. If you have portfolio covering multiple exchanges this app is very limiting as you will not be able to recreate your portfolio to track performance in this app. They should at least allow to add stocks on LSE, ASX etc to track here - this should be quite simple.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Keeps refreshing. unreadable.Can’t make it through a single article. Please fix or there’s no use for this app for me..Version: 5.1.9
✓ Beware of autorenewal behaviourI was given a subscription as a gift for a year and very lightly used the product. Was autorenewed with no cancellation or refund options. Do not give your credit card details to this company..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Can’t view ratings on iPadThe app works pretty good on the iPhone but the screen is small. On the iPad, portfolio view does not display ratings properly (at all)..Version: 5.5.1
✓ Money grubbingIt used to be a useful source for reading articles that gave opinions about a wide range of companies and their prospects. Recently they have terminated the ability to access articles for free. This makes the service useless for the vast majority of people. Paying $99 for access to articles, mostly written by people hawking their own paid services, is definitely not worth it. They took something decent, free articles to read for ideas for further research, and ruined it. I’ve already deleted the app. I’d love to see the data regarding how much their user engagement is cratering. Update: Received a boilerplate reply from developer. My reply to him: You obviously didn’t read a word that I wrote, which just underscores your complete disinterest in taking criticism seriously. I wouldn’t pay a nickel to spit on your “service”..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Useful for someVery useful, if like reading fake articles on people pumping and killing stocks. Very hard to know if your comments are accepted and even harder to find them amongst the 100’s of banal ripostes.Version: 3.12.5
✓ SA used to be great; going the wrong way nowI want to like SeekingAlpha so badly, but their recent monetization choices are killing the exact feature which made this platform SO great. I used to use SeekingAlpha to read the bull/bear case on stocks I’m considering investing. The free content is pretty good, but the great differentiated features of SA vs other investing analysis platforms is 1) the contributor articles/ideas (this hasn’t changed), and 2) the commenters. SeekingAlpha’s average commenter is well above-average intelligence for internet comment sections (event financial sites). There’s robust bull/bear debate, along with helpful info exchange and learning which happens in the comments… and the reason that home-game analysts come in and comment is because it’s free (or, at least it used to be). Now there’s a “monthly limit” of articles which free users can see, which seems to be stifling the good/robust commenting activity. And that’s been driving users like me to search for alternatives. Could free users be monetized by ads or what about an inexpensive base package which allows visibility to anything but original contributor-generated content? Surely so..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Worse with every updateI’d like to congratulate the seeking alpha development team for absolute garbage. When I downloaded this 2 years ago it was a wonderful app. Since then, each update has made it worse and worse, then they added insult to injury by requiring 90% of articles to be paid for. Now, the final straw. A UI/UX update that’s somehow made the apps design even less user friendly. Congrats on turning seeking alpha into the worst app on my phone..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Worst idea I could ever thoughtI already have a subscription to other financial news services. I thought to give this a try; and I got enrolled through a promotion for a full year. Never used it because it didn’t add anything that I wasn’t already getting. Now, I never knew I was on automatic renewal; and they charged me for another year. I tried to approach them that I wasn’t interested in their service for another year - on the day they charged me. I have been going back and forth with these people and Paypal to ‘explain my case’. It is simple I never wanted this service to renew - and I never agreed to another year of service’. If you are into ‘forced sales’, just give them a try; and just wait for months for Paypal to decide..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Mute button does literally nothingAs the title states..Version: 5.0.9
✓ SlowIt’s very slow… takes a long time to load information and have to restart it often. Other similar apps don’t do that. Perhaps it’s too big… Reloaded and still same issues.. very frustrating since paid for…support very slow.. and issue makes app very much less useful..Version: 7.2.0
✓ Totally unreliableThis app is worse than Apple’s crappy email app that comes with iOS. It is what holds be me back from signing up for SA’s premium service. Why should I pay a premium for using such crap. Specifics: 1) on the day the Dow dove over 700 points (today) the portfolio view shows the same 56 point drop for the Dow from yesterday. No changes. Nothing. 2) for most of the day my portfolio tickers didn’t update either. Now they look updated but how am I to know when the market index numbers are clearly wrong? 3) clicking on an emailed article notification opens the app to a blank article page. Only after clicking for a second or third time does the article appear. And yes...I waited to make sure that there was a good cell connection. This is 100% reproducible even when I have full bars and LTE. 4) when reading an article and scrolling down it repaints the whole screen and resets the scroll position when it needs to load a new ad. This is highly disruptive when I have to scroll around in the middle of reading to find where I was..Version: 3.10.4
✓ Sloooow appGood service and content, but the app is a simple web wrapper and takes ages to open every time, compared to similar apps. Makes it impractical for quick searches, especially because it doesn't even open the keyboard when you initiate a search. Just a lot of low hanging UI fruit here that doesn't get addressed. Update: Thanks for the reply. Yes, ongoing issue. Please try yourself - compare how fast it is to search for a specific stock ticker from cold start, versus Yahoo! FInance app for example. 5-10x slower here unfortunately..Version: 5.1.7
✓ Not easy to use compared to the website versionWish to view the financial part with details.Version: 5.2.4
✓ They censor opposing viewsThey censor opposing views and ban people that post comments they do not like. Probably they are allegedly dee state/cabal puppets..Version: 5.0.8
✓ Way to much going on and no Canadian stocks.Half my portfolio is Canadian stocks so I will continue to use yahoo finance.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Latest update just ruined this appI had lots of problems with this latest update. I finally deleted and reinstalled it. Just wasted a couple of hours on and off. There has ALWAYS been problems with the graphics which can be wildly wrong especially the 3 month graph, although sometimes other graphs too which is bizarre. I tried to leave feedback in the App but then having logged into this App already I had to log in again for the feedback and I was told my login failed no matter how many times I tried this. I requested graphics/summaries for the customer portfolio some time back and was told it was a good idea but no feedback since. So this update is all in all just an exercise in cosmetic futility.Version: 3.8.2
✓ Crappy app for a great communitySeeking alpha community deserves something better. The app is disaster. Constant timeouts - data, charts randomly disappear and the UI is from 90s. Please, fix!.Version: 3.10.6
✓ Surprised by the user experienceThe app as well as the website offerings for chat are slow, clunky, and extremely buggy. Also, the subscription service I paid for did not have the best yielding results as far as investment advice was concerned. I originally signed up for a 30 day trial that I decided to extend for a year. I didn’t realize I was set to automatically renew for another year until 3 days after the payment was charged. I asked if I could get my money back since it had only been a few days and the investment advice lost me quite a bit of money, but I was told I could not get my money back. They wouldn’t prorate the charges, they just offered other services that I had no interest in in lieu of a refund. Don’t waste your time here. Poor advice, poor tech, poor results. Be careful here..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Cannot openConsistently getting error message there's no internet connection..Version: 3.12.4
✓ New versionI dont like the new version, bring back the old version.Version: 5.0.2
✓ They don’t respond to problems and issuesThey don’t respond to problems and issues with their application on I phone . They have 2 main issues I have the app about 6 months and I can’t post anything to the app to others comments . I just keeps turning and turning . I have deleted the app and reinstalled it 2 times already hoping it would fix it . Second problem just recently started is the stories open to the left side and you can’t see the story ! They take way to long to correct these issues and maybe need to be removed from the apple I tunes store since they don’t care ! Thanks.Version: 3.10.7
✓ Just deleted this appI wish I could give you 0 stars. Shame on you with the article saying move on. Shame on u.Version: 5.1.9
✓ Bought the annual membership and realized....Well, I find that most of the time if you share a different opinion than the original poster, like you get your comment erased that challenges their idea. That’s the thing I absolutely hate about this app, you end up getting a very one-sided perspective. I wish I never bought this annual membership, it’s all like communism.Version: 5.1.8
✓ Same old same old.Bad writers. Seeking alpha approves bad writers in hopes of pushing their subscription service to unwitting investors. Their premium service pays contributors $10 per 1,000 views, this creates a cesspool of writing that aims to generate emotion instead of inform. Although it’s rare to find an analyst that will make you millions of dollars Seeking alpha doubles down on the bad with their aggressive subscription based model, they will bombard your financial news feed with bad articles then tell you you’re out of free articles. None of it is about quality all of it was created to generate clicks, much like the other financial news services. If you can’t do your own research then don’t risk your money because nobody is going to do it for you, no matter how many commercials tell you otherwise..Version: 5.1.9
✓ CrashingCan’t make it through a single article without it refreshing and sending it back to the top of the page - can’t actually finish an article . Uninstalling.Version: 5.1.9
✓ OkGood news fed but cannot add canadian stocks to portfolio.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Click bait articlesI have been reading SA for 9 yrs. It used to have good information. Not anymore! Now it is mostly click bait articles from unqualified authors. Their “pay per page view” only encourages this. Especially for controversial companies like Tesla Motors. One well known author in SA has written 100s of negative articles with false claims on Tesla just to get clicks. And SA encourages this. Statements like “Tesla CEO forces employees to work during Pandemic shutdown”! Which is just not true, I know 1st hand from friends who work there. When I comment and point out false statements SA deletes the comment. But the statement gets clicks and that’s all that matters to SA and the author. That’s what happens when you’re solely reliant on ad $. Anyone can author an article! The only qualification is the ability to tap a keyboard. Their open source format invites fraud. There is no fact checking! Rookie investors are duped by these so called “Authors” thinking they know what they’re talking about. It’s a shame SA has reduced to this! So long SA! I just don’t get any investable information anymore..Version: 5.0.10
✓ Impossible to contactI have subscribed but can not retrieve my password and use the service on my PC. I have tried everything but their password reset service is down. Their customer service is non existent and I will cancel my subscription very soon. I find it ludicrous they make it impossible to contact the company..Version: 3.11.7
✓ Good Platform but mixed satisfactionThe SA Platform is great for subscribers, providing a great deal of financial data available for all companies followed. Combined with the SA Ratings of Performance, Valuation, etc, this has been a great tool for my investing & I'm very pleased. On the downside, while there are some very good research & analysis articles, there seems to be a great deal of bias & financial inaccuracy in many of the articles. The Platform does not differentiate between Professionally written articles or those by amateur investors, many of whose content should be read & relied upon with care. Even more so, very poor moderation of research article fact checking & the comments even worse..Version: 5.2.50
✓ Censorship issuesBeen part of the SA community for 16 years. That is ending. They have morphed into a platform that promotes amateurs as professional stock analysts (which is illegal), only care about getting you to subscribe to these amateurs investing services and if you have an opinion that does not tow the party line you are censored in the community. They went from a community of people interested in sharing ideas to a service only trying to promote others so they can take their half of the money. Most “ideas” are simply repetitive as their only goal is to try and get you to sign up. So if you have your own ideas and like questioning the work of others to get at the truth…. This is not the place for you because they will eliminate your ability to interact with fellow members..Version: 7.0.0
✓ BE CAREFULOnce you sign up they have you, impossible to unsubscribe. They sell your details to other companies and you get bombarded by emails. Tried canceling, unsubscribing and contacting to no avail. I really dislike this type of company!.Version: 5.4.2
✓ AnnoyingPop up requests to update to the universal app on the iPad even though I did this day one. Freezes when clearing notifications, and is slow to reset the unread posts counter to zero when you do this. Apart from that, does everything it is supposed to..Version: 3.2.4
✓ Jury outAugust 2018. Down to (*). In response to my critical feedback at SA, they have removed my ability to comment on postings. No great loss, but censorship as a response to critical feedback merely validates my comments. As of today, the app remains buggy and all three indices are listed in dollars!! Does anyone even audit this app before they publish updates? Disappointing. May 2018. Back to (**). Another upgrade and another example of inadequate testing and deployment. Required I login with upgrade and then required I add a portfolio as it assumed I was a new user. Once added, I could access my portfolios and delete the new one. I don’t care for this version interface. It could be more compact and deliver more detail. Check out the Stocks Live app for an example of excellent interface design, and boy do they test before deployment. Previous rating (***). Better than previous rating (**), but I hesitate to score higher until a few update cycles. Lost my portfolio during one of the recent app updates..Version: 3.10.4
✓ Limited to USCan’t find stocks outside of US..Version: 5.0.10
✓ Asking moneyNo money no benefits of this app.Version: 5.0.6
✓ Can’t login - no where to put my password?!Made an account on the app, only asked for email. Clicked email link sent me to website, still couldn’t login. Made an account on website with password. However app account still doesn’t let me login... shame because website is great..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Chat function?Why the change with the Chat? Do I have to sign up to this Rocket Chat app now to access my chat rooms????.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Scammers and spammersI’ve been around the market for almost 2 decades. It’s unfortunate that there probably is some good quality due diligence, just a few that ruin it for the rest! Seems there are paid Stock bashers to print misinformation and disinformation! Be very skepticalAnd always do your own homework not completely relying on these authors in there pontifications. Update: after being contacted by seeking Alpha, questioning me if I wanted to update my review… I thought I’d give a shot. I left the above review specifically because there are known shorters who author articles about investments that they are either currently or were previously in, at a short position. Through the articles they bash said company/ies that they were/ are involved in,therefore, self-servingly, manipulating stock prices..Version: 5.1.9
✓ Update is awfulI was (and still am) one of the biggest Seeking Alpha promoters. This update however is absolutely awful - it’s glitchy, and very poorly designed. Very disappointed. If there was another platform with similar content, I would honestly stop using this app now..Version: 5.0.2
