My Stocks Portfolio & Market

After upgrading to the latest iOS 12.1.2 and losing the previous simple and easy to use version of the Apple stocks app, I found this. It has exactly what I wanted and more. You can input your watchlist, set it to show up on the first screen. You can set it to show one line for each stock which saves space on small smartphones. You can easily scan all your stocks to monitor current prices, and % change. It has additional info if you select a particular stock. The main page is uncluttered, and not distracting. No annoying pictures or stories on the main page. It is free to use. The ads are pretty unobtrusive so far but if you want to get rid of them you can pay 6.99. Overall, just what I was looking for!

This ap is (thankfully) not subscription based. It is easy to use and allows tracking of all your stocks in one convenient place. The only features I would like to see added are a “cash” category that could be edited to reflect money flowing into and out of stocks. If that was added I could see my net worth fluctuate from day to day. Another feature that could be added is a graphic of the total in each portfolio, though it is easy enough to do that yourself in some other ap.

Compared to Apple’s supplied Stocks and to Yahoo Finance (from which Apple draws). This one is a faster and more comprehensive widget (especially) and app (in general). Even the market news is better. (The only gripe I’ve noticed about Market News is that *some* stories are repeated as I scroll down the page.) Graphs for each holding are notably different from those in Yahoo Finance. Matter of taste. If you rely on graphs you should get both apps and compare and contrast. Easy enough.

The other day the app was not displaying ALL of the NAV prices correctly. I sent a message to the developers, Peeksoft, and within a matter of minutes, Mike requested additional information. A few hours later the data retrieval failure was repaired. The next day he followed up to make sure everything was still functioning correctly, and it was. A a former manager for a major corporation’s response center in the 80’s, I can appreciate the level of quality support. Great job !!!

Fulfills my needs for a widget in the notifications screen for a quick view of where my holdings stand. I use this multiple times a day as it is much more convenient than opening my broker's app, logging in, waiting for it to load... You get the point. Couple of points I would like to make is that it doesn't like to update with market close for a few hours at times. I would prefer to be able to view more of my holdings or quotes on the notifications screen, so perhaps adding an adjustable "show X number of holdings/quotes in widget".
