Last updated
Globe Investor is now available on your iPhone.
The new iPhone application allows you to easily track your investments on your smart phone - for free! When you make changes to your portfolio on your phone, it automatically syncs with your online moves as well.
Other important features are highlighted in the following slideshow.
-
Watchlist home screen
Welcome to the iPhone app's home screen.
Notice the navigation along the bottom - you can easily switch between My Watchlist, Markets, News, Settings, and more.
In "My Watchlist", you have the option separating stocks and ETFs, funds, and commodities. These options ensure you can organize information to best suit your needs. You also have the option to view all of your entities at once.
-
Organize your lists
This application makes it simple to create multiple lists. Many people use this tool to separate their energy stocks from their bank stocks, for example.
You can create a new list with one simple click. Spelling errors can be fixed with the rename/delete button, which can also be used to delete lists that you no longer need to keep an eye on.
-
Rank your stocks
Care more about Research in Motion than Shoppers Drug Mart?
Simply click a stock, hold it and move it to where you want it. If you're short on time, your priorities will be at the top of your screen.
-
Enhanced stock information
Not only can you see individual stock information when you click on one entity, but you can also specify the date range you'd like to see.
And if you want to share something with friends or family, the GI app has social media capacity. You can tweet a stock, "like" it on Facebook, or send it in an e-mail.
-
Interactive graphs
Rotating your iPhone allows you to view interactive graphs for all of your entities.
By sliding the bar at the top of the screen, you can choose the time frame you're interested in seeing.
-
Markets tab
Welcome to the Markets tab. Here you can view practically everything that is available on the Globe Investor website.
It opens with a snapshot of what the markets are doing at that moment. You can scroll through to get information quickly or click on an individual market to get more in-depth information.
-
Market close-ups
Click on an individual entity in the market overview page to get more detailed information.
Share it with friends and colleauges, choose your time frame, and explore the information graphically - just as you would on the website.
-
Read the news
We didn't forget about the news!
All of the Globe Investor news content that appears on the website will be available for you to read on your iPhone as well. Use this feature to stay up-to-date with your stocks - and the rest of them.
-
Offline reading
Didn't have enough time to catch up on your investing news before that plane ride?
Looking for something to scroll through on the subway?
All of this becomes possible in the Settings tab. By turning on offline reading, Globe Investor content is downloaded to your iPhone so you can continue to explore the application in zones where 3G is weak or networks are unavailable.
