I’m really into finance and have been investing for a long time. From stocks and crypto to swing trading and holding, I’ve done it all. Over the years, I’ve also tried out all sorts of investment apps in hopes of getting the proper data and setting up a system that works for me. Some were good, others not so much. In this post, I’ll highlight the good ones and talk about why you should consider using them.
Before we dive into the list, I want to clarify that these are investment-related data apps. This means they provide timely news, charts, and other crucial data you need to make informed investment decisions. I won’t be discussing investment or trading apps used for buying and selling stocks, for example.
If you’re looking for a platform to execute trades, my top recommendation is to open an Interactive Brokers account. It’s one of the most reliable brokers out there and offers a few different trading platforms that will suit both beginners and experienced investors. However, there are plenty of popular alternatives available, including WeBull, Robinhood, and Trading 212.

This is, in my opinion, the best app on this list, and what’s funny is that it’s not even very popular. I’ve been using it for years and don’t plan on switching to an alternative.
Koyfin is all about data. Not only can I see exactly how the markets are doing at a specific time, but I can also check a company’s financial records in detail. That includes the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, alongside all the financial ratios. It also provides analyst opinions and analysis regarding where a stock’s price might go in the next 12 months.
To make an investment decision, I need data, and that’s why I love Koyfin. There are other platforms out there that offer similar services, some of which are on this list, but Koyfin stands out due to its ease of use and a simple yet eye-catching design. It’s free to use, but there are limitations you can remove with a subscription, which is the norm with these kinds of apps.
