Yahoo has always been a great source of free financial info but the must fire 1 dept completely
Sep 10

d go yv
I have used Yahoo Finance for over 30 years and it has greatly helped increase my wealth with quality data. They have been 5 stars with me for quite awhile but now I give them a 4 as they need to fire 1 entire department in its entirety and most will agree. I just started actively trading again so the best area to get leads or second opinions for over 100% to 1,000 % gains has been the comments section in the individual stock profiles. So I go in and attempt to ask some simple questions like “does anyone know what stock service lets you trade FNMA stock?” Which was instantly flagged. Why? I appear to be banned from the comment section as I cannot even post whether I think a stock is bullish or bearish or ask others option on earnings. Why would these simple posts be automatically flagged? Yet certain stock message boards have been rendered completely useless due to spammers posting political garbage about Tump, Musk, or even completely statements that make no sense as they were created by a spambot. I can’t ask a simple question but a spambot computer can post “Biden smokes crack” over 50 times a day on 1 stock board. So yes they need to fire the yahoo chairman and all of his employees that work in this department. As it called Yahoo Finance not Yahoo Political Spam & garbage!

News blips that get posted on the lock screen very rarely go to a news story when I open my iPhone by sliding the notification. This is a serious failure in the app implementation. Moreover when I go to the news feed list, the notified headline is rarely on the list. I think many of the news stories are useful but the navigation has severe flaws that could be easily fixed. Get the geek squad busy Yahoo! ********* Later: I’m using the app a lot to look at stocks and options information. I really wish it supported landscape mode for iPhone cuz it would be easier to scrutinize the spreadsheets for options prices. ******** Later: UI improved. The data feed can be flaky eg Details view sometimes doesn’t get the options information and the options link is not displayed. I would like to see an auto update for the options data. It doesn’t appear to be implemented at this time.Later….Still quite buggy. Useful info and such.

Terrible

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.

Syncing Issues
04/06/2024

Decisión Maker
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.
