Bad app, Bad Service

With the current market in an uptrend, a beginner could throw a dart at any strong stock and do equally or better than this over-priced service. The Buy Alerts are delayed/received too late, after the stock has already broken out, too late to get in at the right price for a profit but lose money on the inevitable dip after a break out. This issue has been going on for years. Other stock services can send out timely alerts and post Buy Stops in advance but the Swing Trade staff has delusions of grandeur and think that would cause the Market Maker to push up the price even though these buy zones are posted elsewhere in IBD. Do t waste your money.

No iPad support unless you use the web.

I think the world of these guys. I watch IBD Live and I know they put their heart into the watch list and trades. For that I give 10 stars.The app is good on the phone. Not sure I like the delay in the time I get the email to the time it updates in the app. However I don’t always trade their alerts, but rather use it to learn to do my own fishing, so the delay is not a huge deal. This would be no issue if the alerts via email showed the pivot point/buy zone and not just the purchase point they added it. Again, these guys are hero’s to me so I am not knocking them in any way.Would love a bit more in the app to allow us to add our own setups and track our batting average for wins vs losses.iPad is my main device most of the time so it would be nice if all the IBD apps got some love there.Wink wink MarketSmith could add the marking on charts with the Apple Pencil. Wow how Bill O would have loved that in the 60’s.Keep up the good work. Give the apps some love. Build something for all your customers to use for tracking our trades. Not all of us just copy your trades.

So far so good

Details of the trade set up is accurate because i learned the skill of trading first as a swing trader i always look at support and resistance to give me an indication of if to buy and sell and i compare that to the app and it’s spot on The first month is free and I’ve made a profit within the first week that paid for the app for a few months

Terrible App. Use your subscription money to fix it!

This app has cringe worthy glitches. The charts specifically work like half the time. If you use your fingers to try and zoom out nothing happens. It’s frustrating because within the chart are informative bumbles that point at candles providing you with information about the trades. These bubbles aren’t always viewable and are out of the picture on your screen, and the app has no zoom out feature. Please fix this! Giving 2 stars because the information it provides is great however the app is so bad I had to knock off 3 stars.

Functionality is a issue.

First off I’d like to say I think the world of WO and the IBD team. I loved this idea and allows me to come up with my own ideas and take advantage of the insights of the best traders in the industry. My issue is the awful functionality of this app. If I go from current trades to another section of the app, and back again, the current trade section shows up blank. No matter how many times I refreshed, it doesn’t work. Also things move fast. So when I click on the position size calculator, and 9/10 times it doesn’t correlate with the stock I was just clicked on, I can’t even use it. I’m wondering is this just an iPhone problem? It would also be super helpful if this app was linked to IBD so we can check out the fundamentals and other technicals.

I feel like I’ve been conned.

I can’t believe that signing up for the overpriced paid subscription has provided me with the worst information on the Internet! Shame on you for selling such junk-that has apparently always been junk (my bad for skipping the reviews). Why don’t you go on your cell phones and actually try using your own product. Better yet, if you’re so proud of what you’ve built, find several novice investors and give them each $10,000 OF YOUR PERSONAL MONEY. They can keep anything they earn above that but owe you nothing if they lose!(I’ll be waiting anxiously to see that happen!)~FELLOW TRADERS BEWARE~••• I tried out SwingTrader as instructed [MID BULL RUN] and I lost more in that single week than I had in 6 months of aggressive trading.BETTER OFF LETTING YOUR KIDS•PETS•PSYCHIC•ELDERLY RELATIVES...

Soviet era tech

This app is supposed to give you alerts on swing ideas by the geniuses at IBD. However multiple times during the day it kicks you out and logs you off without notice and you have to retype your password. It also slams this weird thing in your face where you have to hold your thumb on the screen to ‘prove’ that you are human, randomly throughout the day. Supposing the app hasn’t logged you out, when there is an alert, you have to play a game of where’s Waldo to actually see what the alert symbol is. It may take you 1 to 2 minutes of fiddling on the app and jumping from screen to screen to see what the genius idea from IBD is. The alerts are not timely if I’m getting them 2 minutes after it’s been sent. All this supposing there is actual value in their alerts. We’re not in 2020 anymore and you have to struggle to see a difference between performance of IBD swing ideas and a random basket of Nasdaq/S&P stocks.

Service isn’t worth the money

Typically by the time you get the notifications of a trade, the buy point or sell point has already past. Some of the trades are questionable and it almost feels as if this is a robo trader. Some of the stocks they choose for trading have been on decline for the past two weeks but will be up one day to a buy point as the overall market has risen. However once the market takes a dip for that particular day, the stock now moves into the stop loss point.

Two issues I’m dealing with

First, The latest release keeps signing me off even though I check the “stay logged in” field. Please fix as this is causing delays with my trading.Second, on the older versions, when notifications were sent out, it would include the stock symbol and entry price point. That notification is no longer available and I have to get into the app to see the price points. Can you please add this feature back as it provided faster entry points for me.

Absolute Garbage

Compared to all other sleek and well functioning IBD apps, this one feels and behaves like trash. It can’t even keep me logged in for a few hours. I have to log on multiple times a day. Especially if I click on any tab to leave current trades, it won’t go back to current trades before force shutting the app and logging back in. It couldn’t be more annoying. If you can’t manage to keep me logged in, at least implement Face ID so I can log in faster and easier. Shouldn’t be THAT hard, right?
