Smartphones are great for fun and games. But their real appeal is in their ability to make our lives better. The App Store is chock-full of utilities that make big promises, and Stock Chartist promises to exceed expectations.

An extensive list of must-have features make Stock Chartist a pleasure to use for anyone who wants to keep up with the market in detail while on the go. Daily, weekly, and monthly charts are available, and nearly every aspect of tracking is fully customizable. Users aren’t limited to the NYSE, either. By utilizing Yahoo! suffixes, users can track a single stock across multiple markets. Getting the information needed, when its needed, is surprisingly easy thanks to Stock Chartist’s impressive array of technical indicators. By choosing the indicators that give the info they need, users can streamline their experience and skip extraneous data , making it easy to get the info they need on the stocks they need to know about.
Not only is the user interface practical and customizable, the functionality of Stock Chartist’s graphic aids is extremely impressive. Offering detailed visual s for every aspect of a users’ interest is one thing; making those visuals useable in landscape and portfolio mode and making them fully zoomable is a major bonus. By adding multiple technical indicators to their charts, users can get a complete picture of the performance of the stocks they’re tracking. Some stock market applications look great, but don’t give much depth of information, while others give plenty of info but don’t manage to do so in a way that’s aesthetically pleasing. Stock Chartist manages to do both, making it a rare must-have financial app.
At $9.99, Stock Chartist is expensive but for those of you who needs to know the status of their stocks or wants to keep an eye on the market it may be right for you.
