StockMarketEye - Blog

In cooperation with MUPromo, we’re making StockMarketEye even more affordable. On Wednesday, May 30, 2012, we’ll be the daily deal at MUPromo and you’ll be able to get StockMarketEye for 50% off the regular price.

Got friends or relatives that you think should get to know StockMarketEye? Now’s a great time to introduce them to the easiest stock market software around.

Missed the daily deal 50% off at MUPromo? Don’t worry, we’ll still be selling StockMarketEye for 25% off for 2 weeks after the daily deal at MUPromo.

To get the discount price, you’ll need to purchase on the MUPromo website. Even though MUPromo only sells Mac software, the license key you receive when purchasing at MUPromo will work on both the Mac and Windows versions of StockMarketEye. You can download the Windows version of StockMarketEye from our website.

We want StockMarketEye to be useful for you. We want it to help you navigate the stockmarket and your investments. We want it to help you make the most of your time and money.

How do we do all that? Well, the most important aspect of this process is knowing what is important to you. We can dream up and build all sorts of interesting features, but if they don’t help you achieve your goals, StockMarketEye will fail at being useful.

So we rely on your feedback and suggestions to help us shape StockMarketEye and decide in what direction we should go. The vast majority of improvements in StockMarketEye since its humble beginnings over 3 years ago are the direct result of your feedback and suggestions.

We keep a to-do list of addition and improvement suggestions. This list is the shape of the next generations of StockMarketEye. It contains close to 100 features, large and small, and composed almost entirely of suggestions by users.

Today, we are looking for your help in deciding which of these items to include in the next major release of StockMarketEye. We want to find out which ones are the most critical to you in achieving your goals.

We’d be very grateful if you could use the link below to vote for your preferred features. On that page, you’ll find a list of what we’ve determined to be the 15 most requested major features. From that list, we’d ask that you select the 5 that are the most important to you. Check the box to the right of a feature in the list, if that feature is important to you. When you’re done, click the “Submit Feedback” button to send us your votes.

Your votes are completely anonymous. You can also check less than 5, or more 5 items if you feel it necessary, but we generally would like a maximum of 5 as more than that makes it more difficult to determine a priority of the items.

We will post the results of the survey in a later blog post. Don’t forget to tell your friends about StockMarketEye and have them vote too.

As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send us an email at our support address.

We are very proud to announce that StockMarketEye for iPhone is now available in the App Store! It requires an iPhone or iPod Touch running iOS 5.0 or later (it will also run on an iPad, but in the small iPhone size). You can watch a video of it in action on our website here:

Or you can open it in iTunes here:

We will be releasing a new version of our desktop software in the next couple of weeks that will be able to synchronize with the iPhone app. You’ll then be able to have the same watchlists and portfolios on the desktop and on your iPhone. Stay tuned!

Our iPhone app has now been submitted to Apple for review. Baring any problems they might find, it will soon be available in the App Store.

Thanks to our beta testers and others who gave us feedback!

In the next few weeks, we will be releasing the first version of StockMarketEye for iOS. Designed for the iPhone or iPod Touch, this new app will let you track all of your favorite stocks and portfolios. It also has news and fundamentals integrated.

One of the big features of StockMarketEye for iOS is its ability to synchronize with the desktop version. So you’ll be able to take your watchlists and portfolios with you where ever you go and easily keep them in sync.

We’re still putting the finishing touches on the app, but if anyone is interested in being a beta tester, we’d love to get your feedback on it. Send an email to our support address and we’ll get you setup.

Last night, we updated the StockMarketEye website with a new look. The old site was beginning to show its age and was due for a refresh.

Et voila!

The new look is cleaner, more professional and supports a wider range of browsers. It will also be easier for us to update in the future.

Hopefully you like it as much as we do. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any comments on the new site or find any problems with it.

StockMarketEye was recently reviewed in the Third Quarter issue of Computerized Investing, part of the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII). Here’s a direct link if you don’t want to dig through the site:

StockMarketEye Review in AAII Computerized Investing

The review was mostly favorable and fair, although we do wish they’d used version 2.5 rather than version 2.4 for the review.

The Editors at CNET have written a review of StockMarketEye, giving it 5 out of 5 Stars!

Here’s an excerpt from the review:

StockMarketEye’s simple dialog-based interface is one of the clearest, cleanest displays of securities market data we’ve seen.

And this quote from their conclusion sums it up well:

This is not only one of the cleanest-looking but also one of the easiest stock trackers we’ve used … We recommend it.

Here’s the link to the full review.

We can’t say we were surprised by the 5-Star rating (of course ), but we are proud that someone like CNET finally came out and said it.

We have upgraded the StockMarketEye website, moving to a faster server with much faster download speeds.

You’ll see that the website is more responsive and pages load faster.

Downloading StockMarketEye will be noticeably faster. From our tests it’s now 6x faster to download the latest version of StockMarketEye than before. You’ll most notice this during upgrades when many users are downloading the latest version at the same time.
