@bentossell Hi Ben. Most finance, mobile apps out there are either free (Yahoo Finance app), with poor quality content and annoying advertising, and others are extremely expensive (Bloomberg Anywhere) but designed as if the were on seven monitors with unlimited real-estate and processing power. We are the only app that was created first (and only) for a mobile platform, which allows us to be native and super-fast, have full audio of all earnings calls in near real-time without a WiFi connection, render incredible charts with Bloomberg-level data, cache premium docs (not possible with HTML-apps or available without expensive subscriptions), curate news, and offer formatting and function that makes sense on a smaller form factor. Most important perhaps is that we provide what you really need (and even better what you don't) when you are away from the desk. We were all finance guys who decided to break out and make something that was actually useful. You simply cannot get the content we have and the experience we provide in any mobile app (or web experience IMO) out there.

absolutely outstanding mobile finance app in your first pass - really nice work - I'd love to see a reader view option for docs, or maybe I'm missing something more obvious (tiny print in filings). feel free to ping me if you'd like more detailed feedback or comments
@passingnotes wanted to add a dream feature request: the ability to generate comparisons by pulling perhaps 2 to 4 stocks and viewing all key date in columnar...other dream request is screening tools via search (even basic like what motley fool does is nifty stuff for exploring and creating watch lists)
@passingnotes David, thanks for the feedback! Would love to chat with you more on the phone if you're open to it. We love hearing from users.
In terms of the "reader," agree that the PDF format isn't always ideal on iPhone. You can rotate to landscape, which helps. For some doc types, we'd like to figure out how to convert the format to something more readable on the phone. For docs that are PowerPoint presentations or SEC filings with tables, it's more challenging.
For the data comparison, we're working on expanding the watchlist to additional columns of sortable data (P/E, Market Cap, etc.) so you can compare the companies you follow more easily.
