Simple Stocks 4+

Very good portfolio tracker

Simple to use on an iPhone with a nice display of buy price and current price with profit and loss. Adding preferred stock current price would be nice as would adding cash on hand or ability to add a money market fund with a set value so the entire portfolio would be accounted for. All in all, a fine app for tracking.

Not particularly simple and a subscription

The UI is glitzy but not intuitive enough to be called “simple” for me. I was looking for an app where I could add my stock activity, see how many of each holding, avg. cost, sell, profit, loss etc. … this app may do that but I have to hunt all over to find each piece of information. The pie charts look okay, but are not helpful for my simple needs. I purchased the app about 3-4 days before the developer went to a subscription plan (I hate them and no longer support ANY subscription apps).

I have had to select the apps I use based on no subscriptions. I’ll happily buy an app, but getting roped into an expensive subscription is not for me. If you’ve got LOTS of money subscriptions may suit you, I don’t, so must buy only what I need based on cost/value not subscription entanglement.

Developer Response ,

Hi Wdav, thanks for the feedback, I will take it on board. If you have any other specific suggestions that would make the app better/more useable for your needs please reach out to axel@simplestocksapp.com and I will happily work them into the app.

Regarding the subscription plan. All existing features that you were using in Simple Stocks prior to the introduction of the subscription are, and will continue to be available to you, for free, indefinitely. 

The subscription is completely optional and grants access to new features that require additional data with relatively high running costs that therefore cannot be feasibly provided without a subscription.

Thanks,
Axel.

Great, simple app

A great, simple app - delivers exactly what it promises, with a very small memory and CPU footprint. I used to leave Quicken open just to get a quick glance at what this app offers at a much smaller system resource footprint.

The only thing I'm not terribly fond of (but not enough to remove a star) is the interface. It's intuitive and pleasant looking, though I'm more of a table/spreadsheet person. I'd prefer the option to observe, add and remove stocks on a single table/spreadsheet. It's not a huge deal though.
