iAlert : Stock Market Alerts

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 16:00:50 +0000

** Please note : On some Androids, the screen must always be on for the voice notification to work.

** Please Note : We only recommend using this app if you have an unlimited data plan.

** Please Note : This App is one I wrote for myself. Then some personal Stock Trading friends of mine found it to be very handy and wanted it on their Androids. So I pretty'ed it up a bit and made it available here for FREE. So please go easy on the Star Ratings because the app is/was only intended to fulfill one powerful need for myself and other die hard Stock Market participants, who understand that movements in the S&P reverberate to most other stocks, sectors, commodities, currencies and/or other markets.

** Please Note: I am aware that a widget for Yahoo or Google finance will also extract the S&P 500 level using less data transfer. However, they are BOTH too unreliable and their servers often block bots like the one within this app that extract constant quotes or market levels. Fidelity's home page is the only reliable, real-time source for extracting the exact S&P 500 level within an app.

Description:

iAlert will 'Speak' the S&P 500 level every 15 seconds or 1 minute while "Always Speak" is set to On. (Tap button to change from 15 seconds to 1 minute)

iAlert has two S&P 500 settings to alert you of the S&P hitting an upper or lower target. This will be spoken whether the "Always Speak" button is On or Off.

iAlert also shows the last 5 S&P quotes in descending order.

The powerful aspect of iAlert is the fact that, by using 'Real Time' S&P level alerts, it can give traders a heads-up for movements in other stocks, sectors, commodities and currencies. As a result, THIS IS THE ONLY APP THAT CAN GIVE A HEADS-UP FOR THESE MOVEMENTS IN REAL TIME AND WITHOUT LOGGING INTO AN ONLINE ACCOUNT.

iAlert uses the Mobile Fidelity home page to extract the exact real-time S&P 500 level, and only accesses "http://fidelity.mobi" every 15 seconds or 1 minute.

iAlert does not access any other web site besides Fidelity's mobile home page.

iAlert only has a promotional link to MY web site http://TheBestLittleHedgeFund.com and ONLY accesses that web site if you tap on the link. (My web site has no ads, scripts or cookies, and only uses old school .html)

Repeating; This app does NOT automatically contact ANY web site besides http://Fidelity.mobi and uses about 8k of data transfer for each S&P 500 level check.

Works in Portrait Mode or Landscape

Requires Google Speech, which is free or comes already installed on most new Androids

--------------------------------------------------------

** After install, do not run right away. Exit out. Create short-cut to app with an icon on one of your home screens, and ALWAYS only launch iAlert from that home screen icon. This will prevent more than one instance of the app from running at a time.

** Be sure to close the app after you are done with it or it might keep running in the background and drain your battery. Typically, the 'Menu' button on an Android will close the app or lead to other taps/choices that will close the app.

** Please note : On some Androids, the screen must always be on for the voice notification to work.

** Please Note : We only recommend using this app if you have an unlimited data plan.

The President Game

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 06:16:11 +0000

'The President Game' is a fun AND educational game that can help ANYONE brush up on their US President knowledge while having loads of fun at the same time! The game includes the last six US Presidents from the last 30 years of US History! (3 Democrats and 3 Republicans)

Start the game by choosing whether you want to play as a Democrat or as a Republican. As each President drops down, tap the appropriate destination on the bottom-left or bottom-right of the screen (White House or Garbage Can), and then guide that President into the center of appropriate destination on the bottom of the screen.

50 Bonus points are awarded for dropping the garbage bag into the trash can, 75 Bonus points are awarded for planting the Flowers safely between The White House and the garbage can, and 100 Bonus points are awarded for landing the flying saucer safely between The White House and the garbage can. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS TAP THE DESTINATION ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN *BEFORE* THE ICON ARRIVES THERE!

Tap The Moon in the sky to pause or restart the game at any time. But stay on your game!, because as time goes by, the icons drop faster and faster!

* App Has NO ADS and NEVER connects to the internet (Permissions aren't always accurate)

* App NEVER collects personal info from your phone and NEVER changes any phone settings
