Pros and cons of Globe Investor app for iPhone and iPad

Globe Investor app good for

Finally one dedicated to the Canadian Market ! You can even watch your favourite funds! Good job.
This has been my #1 stock review app for about 1 year. Its always worked well on my iPhones. Use it daily with my many watch-lists. Even got a quick response from their web support to a question. Data updates quick and easy screen display to read. Hopefully an iPad app will be developed. I really like this one!
Great tool that needs a few fixes. Crashes sometimes and doesnt load watch lists from your last point. It reloads watch lists to the top rather than loading where u last search. I dont expect an update because the globe and mail is having tough times due to low revenues
Good app never had any problems and more stock info then some of the others. Will continue to use it.

Some bad moments

Not all the funds that are in globe fund Appear here. Hard to use if I need to look somewhere else for the rest of them?
When emailing an article there is no link to view the full article in the email.
If you own securities which trade on PINK down in States you will be out of luck. This app does not support over-the-counter.
My only beef with this app is that any articles that is supposed to list a bunch of stocks (ie article on best small cap dividend payers) will show the article, reference "the following table" or "accompanying chart" which is nowhere to be found
Doesnt reload and update all stocks. You have to pull down on screen several times for them all to finally populate and update. As an example, if you have stocks AAA, BBB, CCC and DDD, it may load AAA, CCC and DDD but not BBB. you then have to pull down on the screen and wait for BBB to populate. This happens every time you invoke the app. Ive also had the order of stocks reverse alphabetically for no reason. This corrects itself only if you go into edit mode. Needs work.
Have had this app more than a year. Functionality is ok but now constant pop up ads are too annoying to use. Delete.
