## What is iGold?

iGold is the best way to track the price of gold, silver, and other precious metals.  It’s quick and feature-rich, and beautifully redesigned for iOS 8.  Features include Price Alerts, Charts, News, a Calculator and much more:

ALERTS: iGold periodically updates quotes in the background and will notify you when the price crosses a certain threshold, or when the price spikes during the day.

NEWS: The latest news for precious metals and trading strategies is offered from a variety of news sources.

TODAY:  The latest quotes appear on Today screen so you are always up to date.

CHARTS: Current and historical charts are available for each of the precious metals.

CALCULATOR:  iGold's Calculator quickly calculates the value of jewelry and investments, with options for fineness (24K, 18K, 14K, etc), currency conversions and adjustments for fees and commissions.

CURRENCIES:  Precious metal prices are shown in multiple currencies from around the world. Up to the minute currency exchange rates are available for sixty-five different currencies.

BACKGROUND REFRESH: Background Refresh can be enabled to periodically update quotes in the background, issue alerts, and show the latest quote right on the app icon.

PERFORMANCE:  iGold requires as little as 1K of bandwidth to quickly and efficiently retrieve real-time price quotes from Kitco.com or Yahoo.

iGold was the very first gold app on the App Store, launched on the day the App Store opened. Now, redesigned for iOS 8 with many new features, iGold is still the best way to track precious metals!

### 5/5 — Problem

*2024-10-29*

This program has not been updated for a long time and does not show the price

### 1/5 — I gold

*2024-08-19, version 3.8*

I've been using this app for the pass few years and recently it just doesnt work .. any idea as to what the problem is

### 1/5 — Application Not working In India

*2024-08-02, version 3.8*

Application showing connection failed status always.

### 5/5 — Great,  but been years since an update

*2024-06-05, version 3.8*

This was a fantastic app, quick and simple to use.  Been over 3 years since an update and needs one again to keep working on new iOS versions.  

Please update it.  Otherwise it is useless. I miss using it. How it is still available to download it beyond me.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-04-30, version 3.8*

If I pay for an app , and it doesn’t work and developer won’t fix it , I want a refund .

### 1/5 — App is dead

*2024-04-11*

Used to be the best gold app now it’s dead.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2024-03-18, version 3.8*

Да и раньше проблемы были

### 1/5 — Yes, alas, it is dead

*2024-02-11*

This app is clearly no longer supported by the developer; prices don't update and the last time the app itself was updated was circa 2020. My suggestion would be to have a look at JM Bullion and/or APMEX for apps that provide the functionality that iGold used to, plus much more. 👍🏻

### 2/5 — App is not working

*2024-02-03, version 3.8*

As of December 2023 till today Feb 2024 the app has not worked at all , when it works it’s great but two months dead 
Not sure if it even exists anymore

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2024-01-30*

Have enjoyed using for years, hasn’t come out of an update loop for many months now.  Will have to find another app to reference, bummer.
