MoreStocks app coming to webOS 21

by Derek Kessler Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:25 pm EDT

More Solutions recently announced that they were bringing their MoreStocks app to webOS. The app, which was previously available on the Samsung Instinct, will be able to take advantage of the multitasking and discrete notifications of webOS, presumably to deliver market updates while you’re busy in other applications.

Apart from those notifications, MoreStocks will offer live intraday charting. MoreStocks will also backup your stocks, transactions, and preferences into the cloud, so if you ever have to completely reset your phone or switch to a new webOS device you’ll be able to easily download it all and pick up where you left off. Full press release after the break.

Thanks to B for the tip!

MoreStocks: Coming soon to Palm webOS

We are really excited to announce that MoreStocks will be coming soon to the Palm webOS platform, including the revolutionary Palm Pre. Developing for this new device has been a blast and we've been able to leverage many of the latest features of webOS, like unobtrusive notifications and multi-tasking. You'll be able to keep an eye on your stocks, while composing e-mail or browsing the web.

As users of the Instinct version of our app, we are taking this time to reassure you that MoreStocks is not going away. In fact, this new development will lead to more changes in the future! This past week's launch of real-time quotes was just the beginning. More news is coming soon.

In honor of this release, our revamped website - www.more-solutions.net/stocks/ - was just launched and we encourage you to take a look. It features a sneak peek of the webOS version right alongside the Instinct copy.

Also, thanks to the design of MoreStocks, if and when you decide to change to a Palm webOS device, your personal stock list, including transactions, triggers and preferences are automatically migrated to the new device! You won't need to re-enter your information all over again.

If you already have or are planning to purchase a new Palm Pre, reply to this e-mail to be notified when the app is available.

Thanks again for using MoreStocks,
Your friends at More Solutions

Cool! I wouldn't really use this, but I'm sure someone will!

Thats good, more apps that business types and investors can use. Giving diversity to the app catalog and WebOS.

Seems that the WebOS platform is a "blast" to develop for, is there a forum of idle developers who would love a chance to do some cyber good?!

This is great news for me personally, I've been patiently waiting for an app like this... Hope someone will have a dictionary app for webOS as well.

Nexus is a great dictionary with add on size that runs good in Classic...

Posted by DD007 on Sat, 10 Oct 2009 2:19 pm EDT

I wouldn't mind giving classic a try, but with that stupid memory limitation that Palm has not fix, I can't install anything from the app catalog.

While were talking about business, how about an app to let us see the time in multiple locations throughout the world? And maybe, just maybe, Docs-to-go, already.

I use Express Stocks right now to check my stocks while on the run but this app looks so much better. I can't wait for it to come out.

Posted by DD007 on Sat, 10 Oct 2009 2:22 pm EDT

I use Express Stocks as well for the moment, but its doesn't give you to much data on the stocks. I think this app will have much more analytical data, which will be more helpful.

changes to the yahoo pages make yahoo financial another way to check stuff. and i already have my holdings listed there.

Looks like they are going to be asking $4.99 for this app, which really isn't bad. I went to their website and clicked on the But it Now button and they asked for my credit card info. This was for Instinct, but I don't see any reason to charge more for the Pre version.

Wow, looking at the WebOS screenshots next to the Samsung Instinct screenshots makes you really appreciate the great display and fonts on the Palm Pre.

Looks like a much better app than the Express stocks one.

Exactly what I was looking for. Awesome!

Posted by jarobusa on Sat, 10 Oct 2009 4:35 pm EDT

I will be buying this app. Just hope I can install it.

Thanks for all the great comments! I just started a thread in the forums about our app and we're looking forward to answering your questions and reviewing your feedback. Feel free to keep using our website if you prefer.

MoreStocks will be $4.99, which is the same price we charge for the Instinct version. We've had many satisfied users on the Instinct and can't wait for all the Pre enthusiasts to try it out.

Wow, i will use theses apps when the pre will start selling in germany (13.10.2009). I'll also wrote some german reviews of apps & accessoires on my german palm pre forum.

keep in touch!

Looks great - love to have this app, but ... no room to install it :( Palm, fix this soon please!

Posted by kjparfekt on Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:07 am EDT

would love this app but not for $5... I'll stick with Express Stock and my bookmark of yahoo finance for free for any info this app might offer.

Posted by vitalyx on Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:19 pm EDT

Hey, I've submitted my Top Stocks app more than two weeks ago and it is still not in the catalog! It will be $4.95.
Here, have a look!
