  1. 5/5Great job!!

    I absolutely love the App design. I just got the App and already love it. Everything that I used to get from tons of other sites it’s all here and beautifully organized and easy to find. I have been in the markets since 1999 and I have never seen a website or an App that has all my needed info in one place, easy to find and easy to read. Thumbs up by all means . 🙏🏼

  2. 1/5Expensive, not accurate, slow

    There are so many problems with this app that it’s at the bottom of useful apps, websites, or other financial trading platforms, or investing platforms. Benzinga also doesn’t support feedback and questions. And be careful, they won’t refund you if you try too cancel immediately after purchasing this app, so try for one month only and watch so they don’t automatically set your subscription to an annual subscription. The stock prices are wrong, not updated, making it worthless to scan stocks, which doesn’t help trading. The news feed is everywhere, some good, but much is superfluous. Lots of distractions throughout. I use Seeking Alpha, Fidelity, barons, WSJ, Morningstar, and some others. Fifelity gets most of the Benzinga feeds - so don’t need that part. Seeking Alpha has everything Benzinga has,but in a better format, and a lot more for less money. And SA has support. Fidelity has better investing information through the Analyst section. And of course investing ideas and detail information can be found in MS, WSJ, Barrons, and others. I’m not a big trader anymore, about 3000 trades per year, so I don’t need much to get in and out, and I don’t get screwed on the spread either. If you’re a 50 hr trader, then something else might be better than what I use. Bottom line: Benzinga doesn’t support the app, slow price updates, wrong prices, expensive app, and not suitable for investing.

  3. 1/5The worst news outlet

    Real talk: Benzinga is the worst news outlet and their app is a piece of garbage. Why does the app require me to sign in every day? There’s absolutely no reason it can’t remember my login like every other app. Why is a paid service so crammed full of ads? There are so many ads, they even cover the articles so you can’t read all the text no matter how you scroll. Why is the feed so full of junk like “Dave Ramsey tells a couple they’re broke”? There are always multiple “articles” about basic financial advice Dave Ramsey says on his show. Guess what? We don’t care. The worst offenses are how Benzinga reports. They mislead us every day with articles saying “why is this stock up today?” Look at that stock and it will be down. “Analysts say buy this,” then you look and it’s a piece of garbage they’re pumping for who - hedge funds? Why are you misleading your readers with bad news? Even for legit news, Benzinga is always late reporting important news - always. They are Always late - Always. Bloomberg is always a few minutes faster and you can get headlines faster for free on Twitter. Seriously a corrupt piece of garbage.

  4. 1/5Deception M.O.

    Witnessed this institution deliberately report falsified offering information to manipulate Sunshine Biopharma’s price and action without verifying sources (April 8 report), ultimately initiating and influencing the tanking of a stock price minutes before opening bell. The amendment added post “error” after a more than 35% drop was a double down on the deception. Adam Eckert’s deceptive and manipulative reporting based on Internet comment sections is sadly how this organization and their journalists practice and report without verifying any source or credibility. A simple phone call to the company and the actual source was all that was needed. Adam is lazy, Benzinga has lost credibility, neither have addressed nor care. Lazy journalism or they are in on it, either way the credibility of benzinga is toast for me. Disgusting.

  5. 4/5Good content. 1 extremely annoying flaw

    Tons of good content. Definitely recommend the app. BUT, trying to read through articles is difficult. The hyperlinks activate crazy fast! Trying to scroll down on my phone it always acts like I’m clicking on links and forwards me off to something else. Even with the slightest of swipes. End up hitting the back button 4-5+ times just to get back to and finish the article. Good product, but sometimes it’s annoying enough I just close it and move on.
