Monkeys:
Being the tech nerd that I am, I am always curious to what apps people are using on their respected phones to get the most of them to receive the latest and most reputable information regarding markets, finance, etc. Which ones do you use daily? Why and for what purpose?
Glimpse into mine:
Yahoo! Finance
MarketWatch
Bloomberg
CNN Money
The Economist
Alpha Investments (dividends)
Palico News (for latest PE and VC News)
Morningstar
(And yes, I do have enough battery/storage for all of those on my phone haha)
You don't just work in finance, you baptize yourself in it.
Delectable, Pipes, London Tube Status, Trulia (yes I like looking at houses), just added Yelp because I wanted to trash this one company (I can be petty), Twitter, Twickets, AirBnB and Kayak.
What does "Pipes" do?
Twitter. Brings all of those to you in one place.
Any in particular people that you follow? I have a Twitter account and follow a ton of people from all over, Not to mention all the sports info, friends, etc. Curious to hear who you follow?

Related to finance just my Bloomberg account, StockTwits, and personal investment app.
For finance, don't know why you would need anything outside of the Bloomberg app to be honest...
NHL game center WSJ via the Newsstand app Twitter Snapchat Venmo Fantasy Football Soundcloud Spotify
Okay can someone help me understand why the fuck I need venmo and not paypal? I've got colleagues who always bug me, "hey, just use venmo to pay me." Don't understand why the sudden shift...
Because it's 2014...
Because it's 2014...
Yeah I'm just being a gumpy old man haha...
Venmo is quick, easy, and free on debit transactions. PayPal can be a headache with inexplicable account freezes and limitations. If something goes wrong, your funds can be tied up for months.
I'm disappointed no one said tinder. Do you douches really never get laid?
My most useful apps are MyDaughtersF*ckingBlackDudes and BarelyLegal. Very informative. And TheEconomist, of course.
+1, spit coffee all over my breakfast.
ESPN Fantasy Football, Twitter, Spotify, Twitch, Amazon Music, Shnarped, FanDuel

angry birds, groupon, freecell, and the calculator.
what's a hashtag anyway?
SeekingAlpha app
Which one in particular? I am using the Dividend SeekingAlpha one.
No apps, at all, for anything. I used to suffer from constant self inflicted information overload and when I got my first smart phone I swore to myself that I'd stop the madness. Years later, I'm still barely considering tindr and the subway app. The downsides are obvious, but it forces me to participate in the world around me instead of being a slave to the constant ignorant noise of the interwebz (which I was for a while). I start the day with maybe a half dozen news sources, and only really check back in if something is generating a lot of noise. Headlines along the lines of "stock XYZ's movement is the largest since ten minutes ago!!!!!!" are irrelevant to me.
I'm choosy about what information I allow into my mind, which I can afford to be given my job doesn't require me to know everything that's going on all at once. Even when trading my own account, I look for multi-month long plays and focus on buying in on reversals after major dips (see: GOOG and S&P500 ETFs circa October of this year). I figure that everyone else is obsessing on a minute to minute basis over every price fluctuation, so I'll create my own approach. I have the stops ratcheted up tight given I'd rather be out of the market than obsessing over whether I can squeeze another half point out of a position. My goals are modest, maybe 2% to 5% monthly, so this works for me.......for now.
This is painfully quaint and naive.
The problem with your logic is that while you're trying to interact with the world around you, everyone else is busy interacting with the world and each other through their apps.
To answer the question: Twitter (essential), Yelp, TripAdvisor, Kayak, NYT Crosswords, Kindle app, Flipboard, CapIQ, Bloomberg, OpenTable, various banks' research apps, Simpsons Tapped Out, Shazam
I'll eventually upgrade to apps, it is inevitable, but for now I don't feel the pressing need to: I've met or surpassed all the benchmarks I've set for myself without having to check my phone 30 times an hour like I see some kids doing. Is your portfolio up several thousand percent in the last few years? I understand it's a bull market, but stop and think....that's a LOT. I'm quite happy, and I did it without stressing myself out. Do you think you get that by jumping on every random half point tic? I could easily point out that the constant stream of new information from sources like twitter causes people to confuse quality of information with quantity and speed of information transfer.
I'm from the generation that saw, starting at childhood, the evolution from records to cassettes to CDs to online to cloud. I do stay up on current events, and I do have some of the better computing/communication equipment that money can buy, but I do thumb my nose at anyone who thinks I'm going to spend all day staring at it. It exists to serve me, and not the other way around. A long time ago I realized that while some early adopters get a leg up, they also lose something: CONTEXT. Translate that to the twitter/texting generation, and certain key social phenomena are completely invisible to them, drowned out by Kim Kardashian's butt and 5,000 tweets about which stock to buy. I'm a fan of technology and use the internet like anyone else, but I am making a point to others while benefiting myself despite their claims of being "naive and quaint".
To each their own.
"various bank's research apps"
Wut? Am I missing something?
disagree
In addition to many of the above noted apps, S&P Capital IQ.

Yes, it does require subscription, which is paid by my firm.

Yahoo finance is pretty great... good news streams. one of the few things yahoo has done well. they also have a good weather app
Yik Yak is my new jam. Don't poop without it.
Finance twitter is a surprisingly homegeneous mixture of extreme conservatives, racists, frat bros and cynics. But thats what makes it fun.
Why does this give me a boner?

J Swipe. It's essentially Tinder for only jews... I'm not jewish, but some of the nyc jewish girls are fucking hot

That's pretty weird. Tinder is basically a hook-up app. If just looking to hook-up, it seems bizarre to have Jews-only hook-ups.
Maybe he doesn't want a blowjob or to fuck her in the ass
What iOS/Android apps do you use? (Originally Posted: 08/17/2013)
I've upgraded to an iPhone from a Blackberry and am just getting the hang of things.
So far, I'm liking:
What apps do you use the most and would recommend (free or not)?
I have almost no apps on my phone and am constantly looking for reasons to delete them. I hate that I subscribed to Spotify, the convenience is too much to get rid of it but I hate paying for it.

Has tinder actually worked for you?
Dude, I'm telling you: Go on MeetMe.
Fuck MeetMe. And yeah, Tinder works awesome if you're decent looking and have good text game. A lot of college/sorority girls use it at my uni.
Meetme gets me laid like 2 hours wuthuh
I stopped using tinder a few weeks ago… too many douches for my liking lol. My coworker showed me Cliqie (not sure if it's a downloadable app yet, I just use it on their site) and I’m a big fan of that over the others in terms of actually meeting people vs. just entertainment. It has a different approach that feels less sketchy cause you and your friends essentially act as “wingmen”. I like that it helps you find things to do too. Skout’s okay too, but still has it’s fair share of creepers
What's a woman's motivation for going on sites like that? Do you just want the attention from random guys?
There are definitely girls who go on looking to get laid. I don't know whether it's conscious. But they're usually 6s-7s. You can find 8s who are dtf in the suburbs because they aren't bombarded with as many men regularly as in the city. But most just seem as if they're dicking around. Whereas every time I go on there, it's with a mission.
Well my friend actually downloaded it on my phone as a joke and I got hooked pretty soon after lol. I never actually met anyone through it, but to answer your question... it started as a joke, turned into a (useless) habit, and I'm looking for something more serious than a hookup
