With so many apps out there, it’s important that you are informed when you go to invest your hard-earned money. Here are the 10 best stock tracking apps. 

#1: Economy

This best-selling app keeps track of the U.S. economy through most updated values for U.S. economic indicators: manufacturing, trade deficit, etc. This app is a must-have for investors.

#2: TheStreet.com

This app offers helpful resources all in one place. It will provide you with detailed quotes across a proprietary stock-rating model, as well as up-to-date news on the market, opinions from the market and ETF experts. The menu system is also very user-friendly.

#3: Today In Commodities

This is a top-rated commodities app in the Apple App Store. Despite the slightly steep price and the requirement of a Twitter account, this app is efficient for the lookup of source lists, a proprietary MarketPulse algorithm that tracks content source lists.

#4: E*Trade

This app is one of the most dependable trading advisers on the market. It offers not only free independent research for stocks, ETFs and mutual funds but also landscape model charts and EMA/SMA technical indicators as an edge.

#5: GainLoss Calculator

This convenient app is ideal for measuring percentages of investments and allows you to view gross gain/loss, commissions and margin fees- all with bright green and orange screens. The app also calculates taxes.

#6: Bloomberg

While many do not know this, Bloomberg, in fact, has a downloadable app. It features financial news, portfolio tracking tools, and market data. A bonus? The app provides access to Bloomberg Television Live, a dedicated network for global business, as well as audio interviews, updated market data, and stories.

#7: Yahoo Finance

This is one of the most recognizable names in the game. Yahoo Finance is your top contender if you want to learn, well, everything about the stock market. It also certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s free!

#8: Fantasy Stock

This app will help you get your feet wet in the market. It lets you use “play money” to invest in stocks, including Apple and other companies, while learning about how opening and closing prices change.

#9: iTrade Stock Market Simulator

This app gives you the option to “try before you buy”, which provides virtual funds on certain stocks without taking the real-life gamble.

#10: Stock Watcher

Android users love this app, which is synced with Yahoo!Finance. It has multiple widgets and portfolios to choose from, the ability to zoom into Technical Analysis Charts and up-to-date details straight from the market.
