Very buggy
Freezes repeatedly when I type in a ticker and then have to close out the app.
Not Useful
Lack information. No flexibility in data. Barely can find anything I need on the app: - valuation multiples - estimates (depending on industry, would not even show basic cash flow or EBITDA metrics) Suggest referencing Koyfin app or other competitors who have done very well displacing using FactSet.
App is useless
UI has been cleaned up vs prior version (2.0) but amount of data available on the app is laughable. Compared to the desktop version, you can barely find any relevant or useful data about the company or financial news on the app. For instance, especially for oil & gas names, key estimates doesn’t even show CFFO or EBITDA. And estimates are only shown for one forward year. All the valuation metrics are backward looking. Nothing on the app is comprehensive or useful. Really worthless when trying to find info quickly while traveling without an access to a laptop.
Current version is terrible
UI is clean but amount of data available on the app is almost worthless. Especially related to the estimates, financials, multiples. Some industries limit the estimates and multiples (oil & gas) - so you can’t even see the forward EBITDA or CF multiples. Need to bring back the accessibility to the wider company data. Even though 2.0 had slightly worse UI, data available was fantastic. Factset station always was good but not being able to access basic info on the phone has been extremely frustrating.
No useful data
For some stocks in certain sector, key estimates doesn’t even show EBITDA or Capex. Estimated are limited to two years. Basic forward multiples are not easy to find. Prior FactSet 2.0 was way better in regards to the data available. 3.0 should be retired. It’s useless.
Crashes all the time
App appears to be a nice upgrade vs 2.0 until it crashes on you repeatedly. There is a reason Bloomberg deserves a premium to this schlock.
Pretty UI, reduced functionality
New app looks nice, but the old version could search through news / research. Also reduced customization for mobile portfolio views.
