Seeking Alpha launches iPhone app

Financial news and analysis site Seeking Alpha announced Wednesday that it has launched an iPhone application.

CEO David Jackson writes, “Seeking Alpha’s portfolio app delivers our opinion and analysis articles and unique short-form breaking news and commentary (‘Market Currents’) to iPhones. The app is centered on portfolios or watchlists, and offers customizable push notifications, lightning-fast load times, and a clean user interface.

“We publish more than 6,000 articles and 90,000 comments per month. And we have the #1 short-form news product for investors. So rather than developing another ‘me too’ iPhone app, we asked our developers to design a super-clean, super-fast stock market app that delivers timely news and commentary to mobile users.

“The Seeking Alpha iPhone app is fully customized around users’ portfolios and watchlists. The app’s simple, intuitive interface lets our content speak for itself, and brings readers real-time data, news and analysis on the stocks they follow.”
