InvestorsObserver

The InvestorsObserver app is all-around great and consistently useful. It is a viable tool to keep track of investor sentiment, news, market trends, and plenty of other data for individual securities and even your overall portfolio.

I signed up for a Premium subscription (14-day free trial) and really like the data and analysis that is provided. I signed up on the website, and then downloaded the app, logging in w/out difficulty. The app provides near similar support, but the app is locked in a portrait configuration, which is fine on the iPhone and Ok on an iPad, but terrible on an iPad Pro (12”). I seldom use/hold my Pro in a portrait orientation. And so much of the screen is wasted in that layout. I will continue to access the IO site via a browser when using my iPad Pro until landscape support is added to the app. Lastly, the Portfolio function needs to allow data to be added manually instead of having to link to my broker. I personally do not link any outside apps (and I have a bunch) to my brokerage accounts. I prefer to enter the data manually snd update the holdings as needed.

I have an elite level subscription with IO and have already earned back the annual subscription fee within a month of using the service. Without any subscription to IO, I don’t know how useful the app may be, but having a subscription makes it totally worthwhile. I also feel that you need to know the basics of options trading (vertical spreads) to be a successful and profitable trader. IO will clue you in to POTENTIALLY good trading opportunities but you must have some understanding of the trading process of you want to continue to make money consistently with vertical spreads. Especially know how to close trades in case one starts going south on you even though the risk is very limited. I love this service and the app.
