Very helpful and informative app, BUT… – TipRanks Stock Market Analysis Review

I really like this app, viewing the price target of a stock, as well as the analyst activity and smart score, have helped me make more educated investment decisions. BUT… They don’t allow you the option of selecting fractional shares, nor do they allow you to change the date of when you added a stock to your portfolio. For example, I own fractional shares of AMZN & GOOGL, but because there’s no fractional share option, my smart portfolio indicates I own full shares of each, greatly (and negatively) skewing my portfolio data, which is not helped up and makes things more difficult, especially when I’m trying to analyze my investor profile accurately. Every other big investment website allows you to customize the dates of when you bought the stock as well (like Morningstar, Finviz, etc), but not TipRanks, so again, I bought a bunch of stocks in 1 day according to them because you can’t edit the date of when you invested in them, which obviously also skews me investor data. So because of this, TipRanks is counterintuitive, since the goal is to build your investor profile and make more informed decisions using the investor profile tools, but they shoot themselves in the foot because they lack the ability to functionality to add fractional shares and the actual date that you invested in the stock. Once those 2 functionalities are added, I will change my review from 3/5 to a 5/5, because there are some helpful investing tools that this app offers.
