Yahoo! Finance
Yahoo! Finance is still one of the best investing information resources available, and their app is my go-to for news and real-time data throughout the trading day. The ability to quickly and easily browse videos, read basic charts and view financials (all for free!) make this app stand out.
They've recently added a feature allowing you to link your broker account so you can easily trade through the app, but I have not tried this out, nor do I plan on doing so anytime in the future.
Moneycontrol
Whether you are an investor, trader or a novice trying to learn the tricks of the trade, Moneycontrol Markets on Mobile is your go-to app. From tracking your investment portfolio to keeping up with the latest news and updates on your favourite stocks, moneycontrol is a one-stop solution. The app brings real-time quotes on Indian and Global indices, stocks, futures, commodities, both from the MCX and NCDEX, currencies and even mutual funds to your fingertips. You can even look for advice from other investors to tweak your strategies and inform your decisions better on the moneycontrol Forum. All these features are available on a single app, available across platforms, whether you own an iPhone or iPad, Android phone or tablet
Robinhood
Robinhood is the only app lets you buy and sell stocks for free. Users can buy or sell stocks market price. The app allows you to make limit orders and stop loss orders too. Unless you’re an active trader, this is plenty of functionality. Plus, the app comes with a clean user interface, and basic research tools.
Most serious investors should pair Robinhood with one or more free research tools. This will help them develop a more systematic approach to investing. That said, you can’t be Robinhood’s free trades, but its shortcomings here make it third.
If you’re curious how Robinhood makes money, it’s through Robinhood Gold. Robinhood Gold is a margin account that allows you to buy and sell after hours. Buying on margin means you double your expected returns. It also means you double your expected losses. The result (based on the magic of compounding) means that trading on margin tends to eat into your principal.
Investar
The Investar app has been designed to view NSE stock charts. These charts show signals to help traders make buying/selling decisions using several technical indicators. It provides live quotes and charts for users. The intraday quotes and charts are auto-updated every five minutes. One can easily browse through daily and intraday stock charts to find stocks of interest and add it to watchlists.
The free app allows adding up to three watchlists with a limit of 10 scrips per watchlist that come with five minute real-time updates for all NSE stocks. To create unlimited watchlists, one will have to make in-app purchases. The new Watchlist Synchronization allows users to keep a backup of their watchslists and/or synchronise them with the desktop software Investar 3.0. The Investar app is available for Android and iOS users.
