★★★★★ However multiple times during the day it kicks you out and logs you off without notice and you have to retype your password.
★★★★★ No Face ID, web version doesn't remember signin, and the vague alerts only state something along the lines ofsomething new is happening”, forcing you to go to the app and guess what?
Bugs, things not working16%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The trading strategy that they use at IBD does not work for swing trading.
★★★★★ Notifications not working.
★★★★★ However, the display of information is very buggy which makes it almost unusable.
Lost data, sync, backup16%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Tried this app twice in two years, and lost money both times.
★★★★★ Since they lost Mike Webster, aka Webbie, they seem to be spread thin and it shows in the YTD performance which is 1/3 of the S&P 500 index, and that's 75% of the way through the year so most likely it will get crushed…
★★★★★ They can keep anything they earn above that but owe you nothing if they lose!
Wrong or poor results16%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The only reason to have this app on your phone — completely useless otherwise.
★★★★★ It seems that as the trade quality went south they decided to blame it on people who use bots, but what they've now done is rendered the app to be useless for us honest humans.
Crashes and freezes6%

Trades on app 20 minutes late

The app is slowed update trades. Sometimes it takes 10 to 20 minutes. You get notifications on the email 10 minutes before getting them on the app. in order to get the trades in a timely manner you have to check between the website the app if you use the VPN Jay Howard will cancel your account.

★★★★★Aug 2, 2024
Poor performance relative to market

Day 1 of subscription and I log into the dashboard to see the YTD performance of Swing Trader is 2% vs 14% (SP500). Perhaps IBD should stick to position trading. What a waste of $50.

★★★★★May 31, 2024
Why Push Notifications missing Stock Symbol?

way too many emails and push notifications that say "a new position was added in a stock." Always list the symbol in all alerts please!

★★★★★Apr 21, 2024
Money loser! Save your money

The trading strategy that they use at IBD does not work for swing trading. Tried this app twice in two years, and lost money both times. Leaderboard might be better, but even that app wasn’t great. Save your money and stay away from this app.

★★★★★Feb 22, 2024
不好用

推送不及时,建仓完全不遵循CANSLIM理念。

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.
