MarketSmith screws up

Recent changes (as of 7/2/21) make a great program for the iPad harder to use. The changes add about 1 improvement and 14 things they took away that were very useful. Someone made a big mistake. Is this what WSJ ownership is going to be like going forward? We will see if they can fix it but I am concerned having seen this type of thing before.

Request for Restoring Key Features in the Marketsurge App

Dear IBD Marketsurge Development Team, Thank you very much for your continued support. I would like to bring your attention to a few issues I’ve encountered with the app compared to its previous version, specifically in relation to Marketsmith. These challenges have made it difficult for me to fully utilize Marketsurge, especially when I need to check U.S. stocks during my busy train commute. As a result, I often have to rely on my laptop, which is quite inconvenient. [Smartphone App] • It’s impossible to access any custom lists I’ve defined on my PC. • It’s impossible to use any custom screens I’ve created on my PC. [PC Browser] • The Market Pulse section is completely missing, requiring me to visit Investors.com for updates. Marketsurge is crucial for my U.S. stock investments, as it helps me discover excellent stocks. I find the tool extremely valuable and cost-effective when used correctly. I sincerely hope you can restore these missing features soon. Thank you once again for your assistance.

New Update renders app useless

Stock ideas never loads unless I delete and reinstall the app. I’ve had to do this numerous times and the issue returns each time after a few uses. The “screens” tab has the same issue. There are so many other bugs also and this is just on the iPhone app version. And don’t get me going about the iPad version, wow that has completely been ruined. For $149.95 a month you would have to be a fool to accept these issues.

Customer service terrible

Had probably the worse customer service experience I’ve had anywhere. Purchased and was charged for the app through my phone and it didn’t work at all, reached out to them and after being on hold for awhile finally someone answered and said that I should have bought it from the site not the phone, and that’s why it didn’t work. I was like why would you bother selling it through the app then and they basically said it was my fault for not buying through the site. The product is good for screening stocks, which is important but everything else about it is terrible.

Used to be great, then they ‘updated it’ now it’s horrendous. Still no dark mode. Glitches all the time. News function is essentially worthless. Half the things don’t work when you’re in the app. I am not renewing, for $150/mo this should be way better.

Hands down one of the greatest investing tools you can use. I would like to be able to highlight the pattern to tell what stage base I'm looking at with pattern recognition. Like you can do on the iPad and PC. The iPhone 6 and 6+ seem big enough to allow this feature now. Let's make it happen.

So worth it, mutual fund manager level data

I used to struggle and now I am a better investor. 100% recommend. Daily stock recommendations. Alerts on you phone and smart watch. Custom alerts. Chart line drawing tools with line cross alert available. Blue dot hot stocks highlighted. Find the stocks that are outperforming the market with proprietary ratings. See if mutual funds are buying or selling. See what funds own the equity. Update 4/27/26 5-Star Review: MarketSurge is the Only Stock Charting Software I’ll Ever Use MarketSurge has completely transformed how I approach the stock market. It’s hands-down my favorite charting platform, and after testing just about every major tool out there, nothing else even comes close. What I love most is that it gives everyday investors the exact same depth of company information that a professional mutual fund manager relies on every day. You get comprehensive fundamental data, institutional ownership trends, earnings history, and proprietary ratings that feel like having Wall Street-level research right on your screen. No more piecing together bits from multiple sites—this is all in one place and incredibly well organized. The breakout charting feature is pure gold. I get instant alerts the moment a stock breaks out of classic chart patterns (cup-with-handle, double bottom, flat base, etc.), and the accuracy is uncanny. Combined with crystal-clear volume analysis and every technical indicator you could want—moving averages, Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD, relative strength, accumulation/distribution—you’re seeing the full picture of stock movement exactly the way Investors Business Daily teaches it. It’s like having IBD’s entire methodology built directly into the charts. Whether I’m scanning for new opportunities or managing existing positions, MarketSurge keeps me one step ahead. The alerts are timely, the visuals are clean and professional, and the speed is lightning-fast even when I’m running multiple watchlists. If you’re serious about technical analysis and want an edge that actually matters, stop settling for watered-down platforms. MarketSurge delivers the professional-grade tools and IBD-powered insights that turn good traders into consistently profitable ones. I can’t recommend it highly enough—10/10, and it’s now the only charting software I use. Game-changer!

New app has many legacy options lacking.

example, weekly, daily or monthly charts do not show RS Rating. Please bring it back on chart. Old way of going thorough table was very good with all applicable data points neatly organized in boxes with last 8 quarter earnings and sales underneath boxes above it was perfectly arranged data box in the older version. Please bring it back. Industries used to have RS rating on their charts in legacy version. Please bring it back. Industry used to have weekly volume % change on weekly chart underneath the weekly price and price change %. Now it is only weekly volume number without percentage weekly volume. Please bring it back. New app does not allow to swipe through stocks or industries if list has more than 100 tickers on it. Please bring back swipe feature to Left and right to go through charts. List sorting option now lacks sort by “flag” or “date added” feature. So we can’t sort the list by flag in the app. It is possible on desktop version. Please add sort by “flag” and “date added” options back on mobile app. “Date added” sort option is not on desktop version either. Please add it at both mobile and desktop version Please bring back above things from legacy version. those things make market surge unique and above all other charting services and software. It’s truly an edge to have those features. So please bring them back. We will truly appreciate it!

Really good but could be better.

I would give this 3.5 not 4 but there's no half star option here. The main complaint I have is the lack of Candlestick patterns in marketsmith. If this were added I would give 4.5. The reason for the other .5 off is the inability to just zoom in and out to increase the timeline and decrease the timeline. Sure, you can look at a day, week, month, even minute intervals. However, if you want to look more closely at a daily pattern or look at a weekly pattern from further out this is not possible. Hope this helps

So they have forced a new charting system on us and it’s fraught with issues! I spent hours putting together my buy list to take advantage of the follow through day and my list was deleted. This horrible decision by them to change their charts has cost me tens of thousands of dollars. I’m disgusted with MarketSurge!
