If you are looking for a free stock app to quickly check real-time quotes and charts at any time, no look farther than this Real-Time Stocks app. Join tens of thousands of active users who use our app on every trading day.

This is a free app. All we ask is your positive and honest reviews if you like the app. Positive reviews are the most important driver for our app development.

==============================

Real-Time Stocks app collects real-time stock quotes/charts from various sources. You can monitor multiple real-time quotes at once, not just one at a time like other financial apps. You can easily build multiple watch lists and quickly switch between them. Thoughtful features like multi-touch chart browsing are built to let you get quotes and charts with minimal taps and swipes.

Best of all, Real-Time Stocks app is FREE, no matter who your broker is. After all, you are not subscribing to a financial data service. This app is not a trading platform. You don't need an account with any broker to have access to the app. No login required. No security issues.

=== Features ===
* Display real-time quotes/charts for most US stocks. Don't settle for 20-minute delays.
* Auto-refresh stock quotes every 30 seconds, or press refresh button any time.
* Create your own watch lists to monitor multiple stocks in real time.
* Tap any index/stock symbol for its intraday chart, real-time whenever available.
* Support Multi-touch for fast chart browsing. Horizontal swipes to iterate stocks in the same watchlist; vertical swipes to change time frames for historical charts.
* Support indices of global markets.
* Support many non-US stock exchanges with delayed quotes.
* Display real-time charts, whenever available, for non-US exchanges including TSX, ASX, FTSE, Xetra and many others.
* Avoid any account login.
* Simple and clean interface.

=== How to add stocks in non-US exchanges ===
* Use Yahoo Finance to find symbols of your stocks. The app will take care of all the conversions. Examples for some non-US stock symbols are: rim.to, vod.l, bmw.de, san.pa, rio.ax, 0001.hk, c31.si.
* This app does not have real-time quoting support for non-US stock exchanges. However, the app displays real-time intraday stock charts for many non-US stock exchanges whenever available. More coverage will come in future updates.

=== Important ===
This app is for your personal informational purposes only. Consult your broker to verify stock prices before any trade. Trade with care and your own responsibility.

### 2/5 — ALL MY WATCHLISTS ARE GONE! HELP PLEASE!

*2025-02-27, version 1.22*

Hello, I have been using this app for years to invest for my family and I have saved hundreds of stock symbols in organized categories, but today i opened the app and all of them are gone! 
When I open the app it opens a link to a website but even when i go back to the app there are no more of my stock symbols saved at all. Can you please help me get them back? I am worried because I love this app and can’t lose my entire watchlist. I would really appreciate any help!

    Thank you,
 - Philip Gregoire

### 1/5 — Ad avalanche!

*2022-09-21, version 1.22*

I got the other version of this years ago and upgraded to this one to avoid ads.  It was fine but recently ads have come back.  They are all over and try to trick with things like “want to stop the ads?” And it takes you to an ad.  Pathetic.
