Yahoo Finance updates its iPad, iPhone apps

Yahoo Finance has redesigned its iPhone and iPad applications, writes Alex Diaz, vice president of mobile and emerging products.

Diaz writes, “At the center of the Yahoo Finance app are the companies and stocks you care about – whether it’s breaking news and information, beautiful interactive charts or real time price changes you can easily follow any company to get personalized information and make sure you keep up to date on changes.

“The Yahoo Finance app for iPhone and iPad was reimagined to deliver a beautiful personalized experience with a stream of top news and data based on your favorite stocks and interests. We’ve added Push Notifications to keep you in the know as important stories break — so you can make quick and informed decisions on the stocks and companies you follow.

“Yahoo Finance includes completely redesigned interactive stock charts to track historical changes, and easily compare performance to identify trends.

“It’s now easier than ever to visualize company and market data by swiping, pinching and panning across the chart. You can also compare any stock, market or index to see related price changes.”
