Update 08/2026: Still using every day. Update 01/25/24: Great app for following financial information and commodities. I track oil prices and use the app at least once a day. Update 11/01/23 Great App Update 06/05/23: Excellent, informative, and easy to use app. I definitely recommend it. I have used this app for 3+ years and track stocks every day. Great app and very easy to use and understand. I definitely recommend as I have tried others and found Market Watch to have the best information.

It's precise and an excellent way to check on the price in the pre-market and make your decisions

Can be better if the technical charts are live. Finally, DELETE all news on stocks that are no longer relevant. I can still see old news that do not matter any more as parameters have changed and the old news are not deleted. Why make readers of Market Watch pay to read? (new) My comments are of no use if contributors are not taking action. 9 September 2026.

Opening a notification just gets you to the main page and not the article (when it does cause if you try it twice you just have a black screen)... now we are the 13, and I just received the notification of theem 8th ! Nice work!

This app sucks tons and tons of good articles. But they want you to pay for. So it asked me to rate the app again. It still sucks. This app still absolutely sucks. You keep asking me to rate the app, and it still sucks. They asked me to update my evaluation of this app, and it still sucks. I keep getting requests to rate this app. So here I go again, this app still absolutely sucks
