You’d think that all the popular major online tools, especially those from big companies like Google, would have a dedicated mobile app. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. While the Play Store is home to millions of apps, it’s missing a few crucial ones if you ask me.
There are several online tools I use regularly that don’t have a mobile app for various reasons. That means I have to open them in a browser on my phone to use them, which is less than ideal. It’s not as convenient, and I lose the option of getting notifications that would provide value to my life.

I can see exactly how the main indexes are doing, not only in the US but across other regions as well. I can also create a watchlist with my favorite companies, view pricing charts, see related news, and access basic financial data for each business. I can even set up my portfolio, so I can always see how much money I’m making — or losing — on a specific day.
Google Finance is also free and doesn’t have any ads, but it’s missing a mobile app for some reason. It was available back in the day but was killed off in 2015. So, to use the tool on my phone, I have to visit the site via a browser, which is a pain since this is an app I’d use more or less daily, as the market is constantly moving.
