CNBC redesigns its iPad/iPhone app

CNBC rolled out a redesigned application for iPhones and iPads on Tuesday.

“CNBC iOS users are the most engaged in the business and financial news category,” said Kevin Krim, general manager and senior vice president of CNBC Digital, in a statement. “We are excited to now offer them the power of CNBC in a completely new, highly customizable and seamless experience that makes consuming news and market data very quick and easy while watching live or on-demand video at the same time.”

Upon download, users can select a U.S. or international edition and then access their personalized preferences across their multiple iOS devices.

A new function on the app allows for the management of stocks by volume, percent change and alphabetically.

There are also improved interactive charts and graphs that allow for both pinch and zoom. The charts also now include customizable time horizons, style, event overlays and upper/lower indicators.
