Monitor your stocks, bonds, forex and cryptos

Good for:

Quick access to wide-ranging market updates

How it works:

This app shows bonds, equities, cryptos and forex prices. It also has a helpful currency converter under the menu. 

For government bonds, 22 countries’ 10-year bond spreads are listed — mostly from Europe, and also Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US. 

For equities, it only shows active markets; an error message appears when I searched a market after it closed. A total of 25 countries’ markets are available.

Under commodities are selected items organised by Energy, Metals and Agriculture.

For cryptocurrencies, the top 100 cryptos are ranked from highest to lowest, i.e., Bitcoin appears first. Clicking right brings you to the next crypto, or you can search by typing the crypto’s name.

The app also has useful currency pricing across all continents, against major currencies.

The good:

For a KaiOS app, The Economy is very extensive in the coverage of markets and investment instruments!

The bad:

This app doesn’t work offline, which is not really a bad thing, because you don’t want to get outdated results loaded from the last time you were online.
