Research--Fundamentals
1) StockSpy HD
Stocks, Watchlists, Stock Market Investor News, Real Time Quotes & Charts
$19.99 in iTunes Store (available for the Android too)
StockSpy HD aggregates tracking stock market news for select companies and, with NewsCharts, allows users to visualize how the news impacts stock prices. The app is a research tool. It is not intended for performing technical analysis or tracking portfolio value.
“I use this app more in the background for my own research. I tend to use it when I’m on the road. StockSpy gathers data on the fly, especially yields. I haven't found an app that gives me as much visual info on yield/book, value/earnings/estimated earnings, etc., all on one site.”
