Portfolio Tracker 2.3.0.0
For anyone who owns some stocks or is simply interested in following the development of companies listed at stock exchanges, having an app like Portfolio Tracker installed onto their Windows Phone will certainly get the job done.
Common looks and efficient layout
This utility comes with a simple interface that was clearly made with practical use in mind rather than to impress from a visual standpoint. The graphics are tidy and carefully designed, while the structuring of the information inside this utility is very good, as everything is easily accessible.
Going through a potentially long list of items you added and also checking out the news stream that is one tap away have a fluent feel and there are no visible lags in presenting the information. The data is displayed in a clear and easy to read manner, with color highlights for the more relevant figures.
In the lower part of the screen the latest values for monitored stocks are scrolling, so you can view their evolution no mater which module you are currently browsing. Some prompts to rte and review the app are also present and will appear after a couple of uses.
Create and manage portfolios on the go
Portfolio Tracker is well equipped so as to provide the latest information concerning the evolution of the main markets, with automatic or manual refresh commands at hand for you to use.
Watching over holdings and portfolios is an easy job, as the app is able to carry out such tasks without any fuss. Thus, you can easily create a new portfolio and include all the stocks you want to follow, then the application will show you the most relevant figures at a glance.
The total gains and losses are highlighted in green and red respectively, with the exact numeric and percent values clearly visible. You can include in the watch list any symbol and if you want to be notified when the price of a stock goes above or below a certain threshold, it is possible to activate custom alerts.
For every symbol you select inside Portfolio Tracker you can view the financial details, some charts that can span from 1 day up to 5 years and also get the latest news.
Watch over indexes and exchange rates
In a separate module of the app you can check out the stock market indexes and see the direction they are heading to. Unfortunately, there are no charts here so you will have to go only by the numbers.
A neat addition to the feature set is the exchange rate tracker that enables you to see how the currencies in over 30 countries are faring. By picking the base currency you can view how it stacks up against the other monetary systems on the list.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
This application has a pretty clean appearance, not too appealing but with a decent design and offering a smooth experience, with the exception of the prompts. |
Function8
The utility does well in allowing users to create their own portfolios and monitoring lists and has some nice extras, even if lacks some options. |
Security9
Portfolio Tracker is pretty well-behaved and leaves the secure system areas alone, but ti needs to look into the multimedia libraries for some reason. |
Battery4
The power usage for this app is very high and the battery consumption is considerable at all times. |
Price9
For any user interested in tracking their stocks, this utility is very well suited, as long as the user is willing to put up with some occasional prompts. |
Compatibility10
Most users can take this app for a spin as it only needs Windows Phone 7.5 and above to run without any issues. |
