Mortgage News Daily

Really nice for keeping track of mortgage rates and doing mortgage calculations without some website trying to grab your personal info. Devs if you see this, consider adding a stock ticker style widget to keep track of mortgage rates. I’ve been wishing for one of those to put next to my watchlist and it doesn’t exist in the stocks app.

I originally got this app to get a glimpse of the rate movements. It shows that and much more in fact. Whoever updates the news writes an extremely useful synopsis of the daily rate shifts. They explain why it went down or up and where it may go. It’s like Mortgage Rates for Dummies and it’s become the app I didn’t know I needed. I highly recommend it.

Very informative app. Apart from basic mortgage calculation, it shows your amortization, early payoff and it does very good and detailed analysis on how the rates have changed. On the Rates page, it also tells you how the market today will potentially affect the rates in whichever directions and by how much. It would be supper helpful, if the app can show the 30yr or 15yr rates chart by state.
