Yahoo Finance unveils redesigned app

Robby Stein, director of product management at Yahoo, writes about its redesigned application for Yahoo FInance.

For Android devices, our team rebuilt the app from the ground up, bringing you a new home experience organized around your stock quotes and company news. The new app also delivers push notifications about relevant breaking news and provides enhanced interactive charts for any quote.
