Is MarketSmith even planning an Android app?
by TraderHam (65) Joined on 09/15/2010 Posts: 1

Is there and Android app being developed?  Any ideas on how long till it's released?  Or is that idea not even on the table?  Any feedback from MarketSmith is appreciated.

@TraderHam: We are considering an app for the Android but no official timetable for development and release of the app though.

Taking a look at smartphone market share, iPhone has about 1/3 of android user base (18% vs 57%) so this would be most welcome (though of course its not as simple as that due to many variants of android and even same version number but different behaviour depending on physical handset)

Due to the 20% larger Galaxy III screen size compared to Iphone 5 (4.8 inch diagonal v 4.0), it is really not the best choice to be restricted to viewing MS only on the Iphone. Makes for a very tough decision between the two.

I have to say I am very frustrated with the lack of an Android app for Marketsmith.

 

This would not be such an issue if you had not chosen a proprietary Microsoft standard for the application instead of an open source cross-platform solution such as Java for example.

 

In a time when consumers are moving from traditional PC's to tablets and smartphones, your lack of support for the most dominant operating system doesn't make much sense to me.

 

I often use my smartphone and tablet to check the market when I am on the move, so being restricted to my home desktop computer for Marketsmith is very frustrating, especially when all stockbrokers I have checked supports Android.

I would have to agree need Android Apps,

Marketsmith response back in 2010 indicated a move in that direction.

Can an oupdate be provided?

Any guess as to how much demand there would be for this Android App?

It costs money to develop apps, products, keep the lights on.  There has not been ONE post on the forums - Stocks in over a week.  What does that tell us?

Ok, likely there are many like myself that have subscribed for years without really using the product too much, but would an Android app really drive sales for this product?

Returned here hoping to network and improve my investing skills, but it's difficult when the boards are so dead...  Coming here just to check stock prices on an android app might do little to change that.  And do you really have to have a MarketSmith android app to simply check stock prices?  My wife's Apple phone has this as a basic home screen icon, so assume there are many others available for free.

Only my opinion;

The sooner the better for an Android application.

Compared to an earlier post, IBD today indicates 75% Android market share versus 15% IOS marketshare. 

My intention is to make the large display of my new Samsung Galaxy III the only device I really need, compared to my iPad.  I'll not renew a product I can't use on my chosen portal to my media..

I would also like an Android version of MarketSmith. I used to use the iOS version on an iPad, but I have since switched to an Android 7" tablet and an Android phone.
