InvestSMART

I was going to try this app out to see if it suited my needs but it’s got a good start when there is already a typo on the login page. Forgotten has an “E” it’s not “Forgotton”. That’s already a No from me.

Seems to often not work, issues loading etc. have had to delete and reinstall multiple times

The app is pathetically bad. After the last update I have to log out and then log in again every time I reopen the app otherwise it won’t show me the stock members content . Links to past articles always take you to a page that assumes that you are not a member and won’t let you read it. The “show” and “sort by” drop down boxes in the recos are black with black text so you can’t even tell what’s selected. I assume that’s because you have a badly implemented night mode and your dev just hardkeyed in the box colour. I’m not renewing my subscription because the app is just that bad… Did you get the app developed via fiverr for a couple hundred $ or something? A decent junior developer could build you something better than this.

I don’t mind this app but it’s annoying to be listening to music and check my portfolio and have my music stop playing because investsmart takes over my speakers for no good reason. It would be fair enough if I was going to listen to a podcast or something.

This app gives you good mobile access to InvestSMART services. I’m a subscriber to InvestSMART and use the app a lot, but non-subscribers may find they are locked out of some content. This review was updated for version 4.0.3

I’ve been a user of the app for a few years, but this latest version has locked me out twice so far. The only way I can log back in is to delete app and download again.

Without doubt the most incompetently developed app I have ever encountered. Does not function. AVOID.

I signed up for a 15 day free trial. Nothing opens and a pop up appears which implies a 15 day trial sign up is needed for each of the three sections of the app, Investsmart, Intelligent Investor and Eureka Report. But it won’t allow you to agree to the terms. Even the section I signed up to won’t allow you to access the content to check it out - except to say it will will cost $700 plus per annum to access it. Is that one fee or x 3 for each section? The 15 day trial has only confirmed in my mind that it’s not worth $700 to know what AK or PC or the other contributors think. It’s so disappointing- I have other subscriptions like Motley Fool and Simply Wall Street and I’m actively seeking a better or complimentary platform and alas - as good as this platform may turn out to be I’m not going to pay a subscription when I can’t get the App to allow decent navigation of its functions during a trial period. So for now it’s a SELL from me.

Only works in portrait orientation on iPad...c’mon its not 2010!

This is a good investment advice app with thoughtful research and podcasts. Not for those who favour investment advice written in dramatic sentences, punctuated with numerous exclamation marks.
