Description

This is a mobile app built using React Native. This project mainly uses the Expo package which provides useful JS components and does not require writing any native code (Java/Swift).

The app is built on top of the free IEX Trading API which provides ticker data for NASDAQ and NYSE. It has three main features: analyzing tickers, providing news and tracking portfolio value.

Note: This project is inactive (archived) since the free API is no longer available.
