Recent reviews

Nice app to follow financial info. Charts and articles are great for your investment strategy. Summing up, this app is straightforward and friendly usage

Is there a way to make the app just load when I open it? Very tiresome to wait for it to load, then nothing happens, then force close, the open again.
