Stocks Plus 2.0.0.4
For anyone who owns some stocks or is simply interested in following the evolution of companies listed at stock exchanges, having an app like Stocks Plus installed onto their Windows Phone will certainly get the job done.
Common GUI for optimal performance and ease of use
Judging this application by its looks one could say it is a rather dull piece of kit, but at a closer examination one could discover there is method in this simplicity. The list of favorite stocks you create is the main focus and the rises and falls of value are signaled promptly with colors as well as numbers.
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 only major letdown is the presence of some continuously changing ads that follow you in most areas of the app.
Detailed stock information with relevant charts
Stocks Plus is ready to accommodate a wide variety of entries inside the main list and the greatest advantage it offers is the real-time information that you can get by activating the auto refresh function. For each stock you select you have at your disposal a variety of values that will help you make a very good idea about the evolution of that company and its stocks.
In order to have an even better perspective, the charts help you see graphically how the prices went up and down for periods of time as long as 5 years. There is also a particular news section included for every stock included in the monitoring list and adding live tiles to the Start screen is a breeze, as it only takes one tap to pin a stock there.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The general appearance of the app is not in its favor and only the fast and smooth navigation from end to end saves it some points. |
Function7
Stocks Plus does well in allowing users to create their own monitoring lists, but it offers far too little options and features as compared to other tools of this kind. |
Security7
Since it needs to peek into the phone dialer, owner identity and phone identity also, this app crosses the boundaries of privacy and loses some points for that. |
Battery8
Even with the auto refresh feature active, the application manages to have a moderate power consumption, which means it will not deplete the battery too soon. |
Price8
This utility offers really good value as it allows users to watch over their stocks, but in terms of features there are other apps that are a lot better. |
Compatibility9
Most users can take this app for a spin as it only needs Windows Phone 7.5 and above to run without any issues. |
