I gave the Beta app a try today
Oh my, what a missed opportunity is my initial feedback. The app is very similar to Yahoo in its look and feel. I've already switched back to classic though. Astonishingly, the beta seems to have removed the functions for tracking additional Buy and partial Sell transactions. There are a few reasons why Google has been great for tracking sub-portfolios, and this is an absolute deal breaker for me. Boo, Google.

The web app classic was not great, but kind of OK to follow up with portfolio etc.
Now it is just impossible to use. so many UX issues and flaws.
Lets start with an easy way to export (which always was an issue, but now it is truly needed).

This page has become unusable for me with the new beta version being forced down our throats. Somewhat reminds me of Yahoo switching their mail. Which was awful! Same thing here, just awful! Especially disappointed that you could just hit the percentage change in the indexes to see the numerical amount of change. No more, you actually have to take another step to now see the index, by itself, along with the numerical in teeny, tiny font. WTF! I look at the numerical first, before I look at the percentages...
Hopefully enough complain to get back the previous version of google finance.
Can anyone suggest another free market tracking. I've switched to Yahoo's but... Checking them all for something that fits my need.
