Yahoo Finance Reliability Issues Drive User Migration to Alternatives Like TradingView and Google Finance

Reddit users report Yahoo Finance’s slow loading, chart failures, CPU spikes, and battery drain across devices, attributing issues to bloated UI redesigns [0]. Top free alternatives recommended include TradingView (advanced charting), Google Finance (fast, clean interface), and Webull (no brokerage account required). Some users note device-dependent performance, with no issues on newer hardware [0].

2025 research confirms Yahoo Finance’s reliability issues: cluttered interfaces, heavy ads, API access problems (429 errors), and occasional data inaccuracies [1][3]. Standout alternatives include:

• TradingView: 400+ indicators, 100k+ community scripts (ideal for technical analysis) [5][9]
• Google Finance: Basic but reliable portfolio tracking with Google ecosystem integration [1]
• Delta Investment Tracker: Crypto and global market support with free core features [2]
• Simply Wall St: Free portfolio tracking with visual fundamental insights [8]

Reddit user feedback aligns with research on Yahoo Finance’s decline. TradingView leads for technical traders, while Google Finance is preferred for casual investors seeking simplicity. Device-dependent performance of Yahoo Finance suggests uneven user experience [0][3].
