Yahoo Finance: Stocks & News

I just love yahoo finance. It is the best finance app, which is the know fact. I love it, use it, rely on it, read news from it, have my own portfolio on it. But I have one request. Please, I would live if you could make the graph more easily workable. Now when i click on the graph to check the prices of the stock in last couple days or week. It opens up a new page and then it is not very handy. Difficult to operate. This is the only part that I love of the ios Stocks app. Their graphs are very very handy and easy to work with. If at yahoo finance you could do the same, that would be just amazing and i will not have to go back to the ios stocks app for it. Currently i use the ios stocks app to move and see the rates of the stock on the graph, for everything else I use yahoo finance. Hoping you guys read the request and work it. I still gave 5 stars as i love yahoo finance, it is really really good with all the info and details. Just if you can fix this part, it will be a slam dunk.

This last update has led me to downgrade this app from 4 stars to 2 stars. I open on my list and now I can’t see all the info I want because all the stories or news or whatever you call them are on the same screen. I can’t find a way to get this stuff off my stock list page. Fix it please. New review: I rated this app 4 stars again. It gives me what I want as far as stock prices go . The graphs and charts are sufficient for my purposes. There will never be a 5 star rating until Yahoo Finance removes all their editorial left wing opinions from the notification page. I know you are a Trump hating news outlet but I don’t want to read your garbage. The “notification” I received tonight about the so-called fact checking was nothing but a slamming of the President. Everyone with half a brain knows that the so called liberal fact checkers employed by Yahoo News care nothing about the facts. If they did, they would have mentioned all the ballots that are going to be mailed to dead people and those who no longer live in California or are otherwise ineligible to vote, that will be fraudulently cast for democrats candidates. Give me a break. Stick to reporting on financial news and leave the Trump hating to the Fake News channels.

I generally enjoy using Finance. I love its design and the content, but the functionality is just overbearingly poor at times. One can only love an app so much until its practicability becomes detrimental to the user. Among the app’s abilities is the quintessential feature of portfolio tracking. There are two ways to begin tracking your portfolio, either manually or by linking your brokerage. At first thought — I had found a panacea — an app that could solve my task of portfolio tracking along with decent news. The only problem that I have with their portfolio tracking, through the linked brokerage, is that my portfolio is inaccurately represented. The money in my account is noticeably off balance and fails to display my actual balance. The point of a portfolio is to track your assets, which this app fails to do accurately. That is my only complaint regarding the app and I hope my commentary is useful to interested users. 4/5. Decent app.

I just deleted the app.. it does great showing, and keeping up with stock prices. Reason I deleted the app is because of the biased, agenda based news articles and current event updates. All news through yahoo finance seems to be one-sided. In other words, some people are in favor of more government (rules, laws, regulations), where others aren’t. Some people appreciate where their money goes through higher taxes, where others don’t. Among many other areas where people have different views and opinions, News articles on one side of the equation gets old. If it were more neutral news reporting I would continue to use the app. Case in point on today’s market close. Headline: “S&P falls”... (it closed 10 points lower)... that’s not a fall. The S&P was also higher during the day with nothing mentioned about that either. Maybe it was addressed in the article, but inaccurate news headlines shouldn’t be sent. I don’t have time to read every news article that hits my device. I rely on headlines, and selectively choose the articles to read in a day.

ask user to change the rating

I have used Yahoo Finance for over 5 years on my iPad for my Watchlist. Then I would rate it 4 to 5 stars consistently until the past month or so. For a Homepage, it should be a summary of the market indices and the Watchlist in spreadsheet form where I can quickly scan 30 to 40 stocks at a time which Yahoo Finance used to do. Then a week or so ago, the market indices would disappear when I would tap My Watchlist to see in spreadsheet form. Now I have the market indices, but my Watchlist is in a single column where I have to scroll down for 2 minutes to review some 200 stocks on my list. Before I could glance at the spreadsheet form and the blinking of the red and green tags of prices updating would give me some sense of how actively the stock is being traded. Then I could quickly tap on that stock for more detail. I cannot be constantly scrolling a single column list, and is nonsensical to get a feel of the market. Bring back the older interface. If you need to improve it, have the market indices row stay frozen while I can scroll a few times only to scan my entire watchlist. Give the user the ability to move or group our stocks in a certain order. Right now older inputted stocks are at the bottom and newer ones at the top. I would like to group certain stocks scattered throughout my list together without having to form another watchlist. That is all I have to say right now. Improve functionality.
