Free Apps To Track Your Stocks

Bloomberg (Free; iPhone, iPad, Android)

A recognizable name amongst the mainstream public by any measure, Bloomberg has come out with an official app on both iOS and Android to give users instant access to its vast and comprehensive database of business news, market data and portfolio tracking tools.

Get market-moving news from a broad swath of categories -- 35 in total -- ranging from Economics, Politics, Technology, Health Care, Currencies, Emerging Markets and more. The Bloomberg is sure to satiate whatever hankerings you have to learn finance, giving you a perspective of the subject from multiple angles. It even supports live Bloomberg TV and videos on the top business stories in-app.

Yahoo! Finance (Free; iPhone, Android)

Yahoo might be in the process of slowly slipping into obsolescence, but in all fairness, its Yahoo Finance app is still doing pretty well and packs some rather robust features. Consistently one of the highest rated apps for stocks in the app store, it serves up details ranging from broad market indices to details on a specific commodity, and boasts a target market of both amateur hobbyists and serious finance heads.

Organize at-a-glance stocks, a summary of market conditions, a daily ticker video, real-time and after hours data, statistics and graphs. Some handy features within the app even let you deal with smart pagination and shake navigation (shaking your phone to take you back to the menu screen) for less hassle.

CNNMoney (Free; iPhone, Android)

When you have an app that's been put out by the triumvirate of CNN, Fortune and Money, you can expect quality. CNNMoney delivers both breaking business news and comprehensive market coverage from one of the most authoritative sources in business and financial news.

So what features can you enjoy within the app exactly? With CNNMoney, you'll get a proprietary news feed, full articles, breaking news alerts, video, a stock ticker, customized stock quotes and tracking, market updates, and content you've handpicked yourself.
