## What is StockLight?

StockLight is a premier NASDAQ and NYSE investing app for tracking your stock portfolio and researching investing ideas. 

Unlike most players in this space, StockLight makes no commission off your trades. Because of this, we are able to focus on providing you with tools that you otherwise wouldn't have access to. 

Invest with confidence knowing you are setting up a future for your family. Don't be caught out by unexpected financial events. 

Investing with confidence is so important because we spend almost a quarter of our life living off those investments when we retire.

That means, besides our jobs and our families, our investing probably has the biggest impact in our quality of life. The number of daily problems that go away when you're safely invested is astounding - but that only happens if you actually do something to improve your process.

If you just keep doing things the same way, you'll keep getting the same disappointing results. And don't you deserve better?

StockLight is one of the most advanced retail investing research and portfolio platforms on the planet. From the way our artificial intelligence segments and prioritises financial events to identify important market news for you all the way through to how we deliver it to you in a bespoke native application directly to your phone or tablet, we work hard to invent processes that will give you the edge - literally from start to finish.

No investing tool is more carefully engineered.

Our unique market filtering and portfolio tracking tools empower you to find investing opportunities and track your performance. 

Once you've signed up to StockLight Premium, you'll also get instant access to all areas of the app including a customised News Feed, Insider Trades, Market Filters, Quantitative analysis, Full portfolio analysis, Dividend History and more.

### 4/5 — Steve

*2026-08-07, version 6.1.8*

### 4/5 — StockLight

*2026-07-02, version 6.1.8*

Great little app.

A big step up from following my shares via a spreadsheet.

Thanks

### 5/5 — Reply

*2026-06-24, version 6.1.8*

Why have u deleted day date from your site 
Did not know I did

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-05, version 6.1.8*

Great app, use daily. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great information

*2026-06-03, version 6.1.8*

Excellent program to follow our portfolios of stocks for Australian stocks.

### 3/5 — Above average free portfolio tracking app

*2026-06-02, version 6.1.8*

The ease of use, ability to easily see dividend payouts and the annualised figures makes this an awesome app. The fact that so this is free is the cherry on the top. 

If stocks that have been sold out of could be hidden or removed from your stock list this would be a 5-star app. As it is you still get notifications of dividends for stocks you no longer own. Inaccurate and annoying!

### 4/5 — Chris Ingrey

*2026-05-05, version 6.1.8*

It works very well but Its a little difficult to speak to some one when you need help 
Chris Ingrey

### 1/5 — Too many pop ups

*2026-05-03, version 6.1.8*

Used to enjoy using this app everyday. Now frustrated with continued pop-ups asking to sign in to “secure portfolio”. Had enough and now deleting app and will look for another app that doesn’t ignore my choice not to sign in.
