Barchart Stocks & Futures

I’ve been searching for an app like this. I’m not a professional trader but this app gives me the tools and analytics that are so far ahead of any free app I have seen so far. I’m upgrading to the paid version because literally in one week of trading using this app I traded for enough profit to pay many, many times over their annual subscription fee. IMO this app, even the free version, beats Zacks hands down. And I’m canceling my Zach’s subscription. Well done guys- finally an app that works and isn’t filled with useless info that is constantly advertising an up sell. 10 stars! Keep up the good work.

I got started in TA with Barchart, and have used it around 2 years. It’s a great tool and has only 2 drawbacks in my opinion. The first is during the open it lags the market for the first 15 minutes. The second is that you can drag you finger across the graph to see specifics for a day ie: OHLC and things like that. One of my favorite things about it is that your moving averages don’t get affected if you pull up a shorter-term chart. StocksTracker for example will cut a moving average if you pull up a shorter time frame than the moving average. When that happens you can view OHLC data for some reason. So I typically use Barchart when I want to view shorter time periods with longer term moving averages. StocksTracker gets used around as much as Barchart but I find myself less annoyed with Barchart as I don’t feel like I’m constantly getting ads. Aside from the 2 issues listed above, Barchart is a great way to view your stocks and apply certain technical analysis tools, also called studies, on the app. They also have earnings growth information, all the info to be able to find payout ratios, as well as earnings growth, revenue growth and other statistics like trailing and forward P/E. Honestly the more I write the more I like the app and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to further their knowledge on companies as well as keep up to date with market news.

This app is pretty good, and the technical charts are quite good, too. The big weakness with this app and its charts are that only daily candlesticks can be viewed. I would pay lots if this app also allowed weekly candlesticks to be displayed in the technical charts. But, since weekly candlestick charts cannot be displayed in this app, I have to use other apps and websites, and it is really annoying. Also, the symbol search is not right. If you quickly type in a symbol like AAPL or IWM, the first two keystrokes display the correct values in the search, but after typing in the 3rd keystroke, the search becomes confused and just searches for the first keystroke. When using the symbol search, this is a problem because one types quickly and then touches the symbol in the list, but the symbol in the list changes after the 3rd keystroke and the user is shown a page for a symbol they accidentally tap and which they do not want. Highly annoying.

This is one of my favorite sites for a quick update on what’s happening. They type in lots of free newsletters that are good (not great). The spread tables are easy to read. I don’t particularly care about complex charting which is ironic given the name and still use this app and website daily. Worth the download. I’ll update if i go premium which i’m seriously considering.

Like many other apps, this one runs in a much narrower scope, indicating (I believe) it was never really meant to be scaled to an iPad’s display or functionality. (Pro 11” A12x here.) Not usually a problem for most apps. However, I cannot scroll the login screen down to enter my password from the website as registered. I cannot scroll down to confirm adding symbols to my favorites list. It looks solid but unfortunately in this case it renders it absolutely unusable for my device. The service itself is great. I’ll just continue to use their website, which does not suffer in the slightest for running on a browser on the iPad.
