Love the app! Well earned 4 stars. But secondary stock tile is always green. This is a bug. It should turn red if stock price is down. This should be an easy but very important fix.

I do not have this program installed on my computer. Why? Because I don't need it. And yet, every day, it shows it as in my install queue. So I have to uncheck it, and I have to repeat this every day. Stop asking me to install it because I have no need for it. Thanks.
29 August 2013
This program, and other BING programs cannot be removed from my computer. Why not? That was one of the good things about Windows vs. Android or iOS, bloatware could be uninstalled. I want this uninstalled.
18 July 2014
Only thing about this app (and other Windows 8 apps that I have that displays news) is that it does not always show anything the first time you start it. I just had to start it twice and on the second time, I waited for at least one minute to get the finance news. Loading/refreshing needs to be improved.
6 August 2012
If you pin a stock to the start screen, i.e. pin MSFT, the news stories never update for that stock after the first load.
15 January 2015
Will not load content. Stays at the green background with the progress circle spinning endlessly. Same goes to MSN News app.
13 August 2014
Brings together news and tools like portfolio and stock tracking, currency converters, mortgage calculators, tvm calculators, in a quick and easy and attractive ap. You can pin a stock or watchlist to the start screen, so reviewers complaining that you can't aren't paying attention.
It's nice to read the major news headlines without the web sites' annoying ads, survey popups, and without the illiterate ravings of internet commenters.
EDIT: The news engine has gotten dumber. Look up information on a company and you'll get celebrity news. They're using stupid string-matches to generate news stories, rather than trying to get to the real topic of the article.

it seems your friends doing the Weather app are still unfamiliar with recently changed section.
15 February 2015
Crashes upon open, utterly confused.
6 January 2015
it doesn't work, keeps closing on me, cant do anything!!!
18 December 2014
Will not display Commodities such as gold, silver, crude oil. There is absolutely no support beyond being transferred around like a ping pong ball. Only good if you wish to follow specific stocks. Waste of disk space, Its not hard to beat this app with something else. No correlation to the MSN Money website, Accounts will not link nor will preferences.

I would love to see it sync my settings across my devices. I mean, why log into my "Microsoft account" if you are not going to sync my information. It is a major pain adding stock symbols, and hooking up financial service accounts to have to do this more than once.
14 December 2013
The recent updates are welcomed, and the app experience has greatly improved. Would really love to see Merrill Lynch accounts supported, and the ability to sync settings with the WP8 companion app.
21 July 2013
I UNINSTALLED this from my Windows 8. Or so I thought. It keeps coming back via Update!! I do not want this junk on my computer!!!! Stop adding bloatware that I DELETED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
15 January 2013
It will great if this app can support continuous turning page when we read to next part of news in horizontal order.
19 April 2015
Not sure how emphatically MSFT is supporting apps; opened this just now and my watchlist won't load - WTF.
24 October 2012
would like to decide what fits on screen and what I need to scroll for, does not seem possible. So to see my 'watch list' I always have to scroll to right...gee, they call it a 'watch list' for a reason, not a find the list.
5 January 2015
This is a decent app, but has two primary problems. 1) The Live Tiles stop being "live" after a period of inactivity. If you stop launching the app, after a few days the tile stops updating. This defeats the purpose of having a Live Tile in the first place. 2) Although I have explicitly turned off the "notifications" permission for this app, the app keeps turning it back on, I assume during app updates. There is NOTHING that happens in the financial market that is important enough to necessitate an alert distracting me while I work.
It is because of this second problem that I am now uninstalling this app.
26 May 2014
1) updates every time deletes my watchlist
2) lack of details & data (graph of last month, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years...) when click on any index, currency, stock... see Bloomberg app on Android.
2 August 2013
watchlist is not updating. Few months later still not working.
29 June 2013
If the tile turned red for a down stock and green for an up one, it would be more useful for quick reference as a live tile.
9 May 2013
Doesn't auto refresh quickly or refresh in backgro
2 May 2013
Not sure when the stocks are getting refreshed, there is no option for manual refresh or I am not aware of that. I can still see very old stocks on dashboard, I can see latest when I select individual.
24 April 2013
This app use to be good not perfect and now its not even good. When you launch the app, the watchlist doesn't show for 5-10 seconds. After it shows it takes another 30 seconds or opening reopening to see the price. This is behavior on surface RT
Please test the app on all form factors before releasing. Secondly, put some experienced programmer to do the coding.
24 October 2012
Nice! Release Notes/Change log/What's new are very detailed. These Bing apps are very useful and fun to use.
25 October 2014
I can't change currency to my country's. It's very hard for me to read all in USD. How can I change it?
12 June 2014
Works even with Finnish stocks. But please add red live tiles for stocks that are down. Just like in WP.
19 May 2014
many of the news items for the individual stocks and funds do not work. I get a page of loading circles that never complete.
It's also a pain having to re-log into my financial account to see my balance just because I moved the focus off this app.
It's also a pain that I lose my watch list if I want to look at one of the other indexes like NASDAK
7 May 2014
Even with the latest update the fidelity net benefits link up will not connect. Microsoft are you even listening?
14 March 2014
This app crashes when launched. I have updated everything possible, and it still crashes. It used to work. I had to uninstall quite a few bing apps that no longer work. I installed yahoo finance and it works great.
