  • Poor Optimization

    I think my iPhone 12 is fairing better than the other reviewers, but it still lags the heck out after trading.
  • DO NOT DOWNLOAD until they fix the app

    Seeing the recent reviews after downloading this app a few days ago, I strongly agreed and felt that I had to submit a review in the hopes the app developers actually get off their butts and fix it. The app overall is great (in my limited experience); but, Jesus Christ, this app is so poorly optimized. I can only use the app for about 1 MINUTE max before it freezes. Within that singular minute, as each second passes, the app gets slower and laggier, and my phone starts heating up significantly. I frequently have to, with much effort, close the app, and turn off the phone to bring back stability. It’s not just limited to app usage. The app causes your phone as a whole to completely lag and freeze. Having this app open in background causes your other apps to lag with constant input delays when typing. Even have difficulty turning phone off, as well as turning it on. I want to use this app, and I desperately hope these issues are fixed, but by god I have never had an app perform this poorly not only on the app itself but affecting my phone overall. DO NOT DOWNLOAD UNTIL IT IS FIXED!

    Stopped loading after a week. Doesn’t work anymore and I can’t see my trades
  • Appears to be a glitch generator.

    Phone froze IMMEDIATELY upon installation (for the first time ever). Oddly enough, I had to disconnect access to the internet before I was able to uninstall the app. No idea what kind of skullduggery one would have to program into an iPhone app to illicit those symptoms; however, what it did not illicit was warm and fuzzy feelings.
  • Shocked at the performance

    Crazy how laggy this app is. I’ve never used an app that performed so bad in my life.

    I’ve been playing this game for many years. I decided to download the app because going to the website everyday was tiresome. I downloaded the app, joined a game, and started trading. I have an iPhone 13 Mini and have never had any software issues or glitches until I downloaded this game. Problem (bug?): After making a trade or placing an order, my phone will freeze and I won’t be able to do anything on it until the game crashes. Can’t even use the buttons on my phone. This is a reoccurring issue for me, and I’m certain I’m not the only one. I’ll continue to play, but the bugs just get frustrating to deal with when I’m making a trade (buying, selling, etc). Anyway this can be addressed? EDIT: Guess the developers didn’t care so much about the feedback I gave above. Still have that very same issue. Still not resolved. Had enough and just deleted the app altogether. Problem solved! 👍

    For whatever reason this app is extremely poorly optimized. It lags my phone out and causes the music im listening to to become choppy.
