Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Useless

★ · v26.20.0 · Oct 12, 2026

After the last update it wants you to sign in through a not secure website that does not support HTTPS. After decades I drop yahoo

Selling my cow

★★ · v26.19.1 · Oct 10, 2026

Mark up 20 %

Get rid of “Your Daily Brief”!!!

★ · v26.19.1 · Oct 9, 2026

Why the heck is it there??? It gets in the way of everything!!! No one wants it!!!

Update

★ · v26.19.1 · Oct 9, 2026

Latest update makes zero sense. Has the total value of stock/mutual fund above left and return for the day and total return BELOW this on the bottom right. Very difficult to read and evaluate. Does not flow in order. Moving to another app.

Cool app but glitchy

★★ · v26.19.1 · Oct 8, 2026

When I add indicators to the stocks charts on my iPhone 14, the whole screen turns black and forces me to restart the app. Happens every time as of today. Poor programming.

Horrible new format. Unnecessary clicks

★ · v26.19.1 · Oct 7, 2026

Want to read a comment? Well you have to click to open to the full comment. Want to post a comment? Well you have to click and state that you are whatever type of investor first. No memes, no photos, no links. It’s really hell now and whoever suggested all these changes and huge repetitive disclaimers all over the place should be fired. I don’t even like the font.

Locks up on iPhone

★ · v26.19.1 · Oct 5, 2026

Very glitchy with iPhone operating system. Days go by when the app won’t load. It’s become a useless tool.

No 1yr and 5yr

★★ · v26.19.1 · Oct 3, 2026

Just updated to the latest version today. Probably haven’t updated in a while, but the latest version down not provide 1yr and 5yr options for the graph on the front end. Longest is only YTD. Seems ridiculous.

Portfolio not updating.

★ · v26.19.1 · Oct 2, 2026

Tried deleting / reinstalling app and cycling iPhone on/off. Still not working. Phone software and Yahoo Finance app are up to date.

Yahoo. Boohoo

★ · v26.19.0 · Sep 27, 2026

Punishes real users, ignores bots. The community boards are overrun with bot spam — fake accounts pushing scam stock-alert links that sit for days. Meanwhile my harmless posts get auto-removed as 'against community guidelines' and appeals go unanswered

Price alerts don’t work

★ · v26.18.1 · Sep 23, 2026

Price alerts don’t work at all.

👎

★ · v26.18.1 · Sep 23, 2026

No longer shows day price range and 52 week price range for ETF. Can no longer edit or rearrange the key statistics. The new UI removed lots of features and is worse than before. Overall it’s a big step backwards. Unusable for me.

No customer support

★ · v26.18.1 · Sep 21, 2026

They will not help or respond when account not linking correctly to external accounts

used to be good

★ · v26.18.1 · Sep 21, 2026

new UI is trash. can’t find dividend history

Can’t even find stocks

★ · v26.18.0 · Sep 12, 2026

Can no longer type a company stock or name in and have it come up. Just lists a bunch of random mutual funds and index funds. The cio’s of yahoo, google, apple must be in hibernation already. None of their stuff works

Can’t launch this app on my iPhone 17

★ · v26.18.0 · Sep 11, 2026

After I upgraded the iOS, I can’t launch this app anymore

Absolutely Garbage

★ · v26.18.0 · Sep 8, 2026

I'd like to negative stars if I could. The message boards are completely over run with bots. They even have bots that steal your posts. Yahoo Scout is completely biased towards certain stocks. I'm about to delete this garbage off my phone if they don't fix some things.

Autoplays Videos. Sound blast when you are in a quiet area!

★ · v26.18.0 · Sep 8, 2026

Ridiculous design.

Your daily brief

★ · v26.17.1 · Sep 5, 2026

Roll it back and let’s pretend it never happened. Make it optional for god’s sake

Data corruption

★ · v26.17.1 · Sep 4, 2026

App is loaded with instruments to steal your data. Run thru a vpn and malware detection!

Ever since their new pay product

★ · v26.17.1 · Sep 2, 2026

Appeared I have not been able to easily use this app, I am sure they are slow rolling it so you have to convert to the pay version

Could not update with iOS 10

★ · v26.17.1 · Aug 31, 2026

Could not update with iOS 10 while other open sources and android apps update ok

Remove the Your daily brief nonsense

★ · v26.17.0 · Aug 28, 2026

What a pain! Everybody hates it.

No longer runs after update

★ · v26.17.0 · Aug 27, 2026

App has stopped working after IOS and app update on 7nth gen iPad. Very disappointed. Performed all troubleshooting fixes and resets.

Just about impossible to learn how to use

★ · v26.16.0 · Aug 24, 2026

I’m hoping AI can help me figure out how to use a watchlist or make one in this extremely unwieldy the app for a newcomer‼️ Thanks for your attention in this matter‼️

The opportunity
