Haven’t yet updated to StockMarketEye 4? What better time than now!

As some may already have noticed, the Yahoo Finance data quote feed is not updating properly since the close of trade on Wednesday November 19th. For many users the quotes are stuck, with the last trade from the close on Wednesday. Other users, however, are not experiencing any problems.

This leads us to believe that it is a regional issue. Users from some parts of the world, Western North America especially, are having problems. On the other hand, users from Europe and other parts of the world are not experiencing any problems.

Unfortunately, as much as we would like to fix it, there’s not much we can do at this point. The issue is with Yahoo Finance and their data feed that StockMarketEye uses. Typically Yahoo fixes these types of issues quickly, so I’m hopeful that they will get it resolved soon.

We will update this post when we know more. Leave a comment for us below letting us know if you are or are not affected by it and where you’re located.

[Update #1] Please add your vote to this “suggestion” for fixing the issue at Yahoo (the link goes directly to the Help section of the Yahoo Finance website). The more votes, the more attention it will get from them:

[Update #2 (2pm EST, November 21, 2014)] We’ve had a number of users tell us that it is working for them again. Seems all is back to normal. Thanks for your patience.

We are developing a new version of StockMarketEye and would like to know which potential new features are important to you.

Please help us out by taking this 2 minute survey. It is completely anonymous and you’ll be helping us shape the near future direction of StockMarketEye.

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 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.
