Stock market trading isn't for the faint at heart. Luckily, there are plenty of investment apps around to help you along the way.
If you own any shares of stocks, these apps can help you track how your individual stocks are doing.
Stocks Tracker:Real-time stock
With Real-time Stock Tracker you can get your entire financial picture from you iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch.
This is among the most popular stock tracking apps available on the App Store because of its reliability and list of features.
Yahoo Finance: Stocks & News
With Yahoo Finance you can access real-time information and investment updates to stay on top of the market. Follow the stocks you care about the most and get personalized news and alerts, 24/7.
This is a very simple app to use. Perfect for seasoned professional or those just getting familiar with the market.
Robinhood: Investing for All
Robinhood gives you access market data and quotes in real-time. Also allows you to build a personalized stock watchlist with historical market data and detailed charts. You can place market, limit, stop loss, stop limit, and good till canceled orders. And Robinhood allows you to track your portfolio through the Notification Center widget.
It's an easy to use app which has endless possibilities when it comes to investing and trading stocks.
The markets are ever changing, and these news apps can keep you up to date.
The Wall Street Journal app’s free access was very short-lived. While doing a great job of preserving the traditional newspaper layout, the Wall Street Journal is tarnished by the fact that the vast majority of its functionality (and news) requires a hefty annual subscription.
Although more of a stock tracker, Market Watch can be an excellent source for financial news. The interface is great and the realtime stock graph is especially cool. Another great thing that this app does is display the stocks that have been in the news, which of course helps a potential buyer of a particular stock. Even after paying for this app, there are enough ads to annoy you quite a bit. I think that this is the main downfall of this app, but if you can live with the ads and don't mind paying a few bucks, then give Market Watch a run.
CNBC Real Time is quite an impressive app visually. When you open the app, you are greeted with a scrolling ticker symbol bar as well as a neatly laid out interface for various options. The news in this app is very good, with various gestures to help you navigate the news more naturally. This is definitely worth the download if you are looking for a solid experience.
StockSpy HD is an ok app at a very high price. Since most apps in its category are cheap or free it shocked me to find this app at a price of twenty dollars. What shocked me more was that StockSpy wasn't all that impressive. Sure, its stock and news coverage is good, but there really was no wow factor to it. With so many free options, I would recommend choosing another app over this one.
