moneycontrol.com offers new iPad app

The free application will provide real-time information about Indian and global stock markets.

moneycontrol.com has launched a new application for iPad. The free application provides real-time information about the Indian and global stock markets, and also allows users to watch CNBC-TV18, CNBC Awaaz and popular videos featuring top business news, market analysis, and management interviews.

Commenting on the launch, Joyson Thomas, chief operating officer, Web18, says, "As an increasing number of users are now consuming content and services through tablets and smartphones, it made sense to tap into this fast-growing segment of savvy users. The launch is part of an endeavour to stay in tune with changing user preferences. Looking at the overwhelming response to the moneycontrol.com app across all other platforms, and considering the feedback that iPad has received from the market, we are positive that the combination will take this product to a new level."

The moneycontrol.com app allows users to get a comprehensive company snapshot with stock quotes, interactive charts, corporate action, peer comparison, financials, and company information on a single screen, with an enhanced tap and swipe experience.

The app allows users to manage and track their investment portfolios. It also facilitates the users to create a customised list of stocks and mutual funds that they want to follow, with the stock and mutual fund watch list. The ticker can also be customised to view a chosen list of stocks.

The application is available for free download off the App Store. Users will be able to access the app on iPad and iPad2.
