Live streaming LSE share prices on your iPhone

There's quite a few ways to get 15 minute (or more) delayed information via your iPhone; but if you're serious about following the market whilst away from your computer then this application is the only solution to observe real-time tick by tick price movements from the London Stock Exchange.

The application also covers the NYSE & NASDAQ markets along with major market indicators - all 15 minute delayed.

Once downloaded, enter your shareprice.co.uk username and password via the iPhone 'Settings' icon for full access.

A note regarding v2.0 - released 27/01/10

New features.

If you used the app without login details being entered in to the Settings screen (the iPhone cog icon), you will need to register an account or request a password reset if you don't know your credentials via http://www.shareprice.co.uk/help

The local watchlist facility has gone. Your portfolio information is now stored on the SharePrice server which means the following :-

• Loss of iphone means data is not lost.
• A common portfolio view on shareprice.co.uk using either the iPhone/Android or the web site (or other applications in the future).
• Easier support for multiple portfolios / multiple items of the same share in a portfolio.
• Easier introduction of other markets.
• Easier introduction of further features such as trading.

You can create a new portfolio or edit your portfolio using either the iPhone or the website. Click on the pencil icon top right of the portfolio screen on the iPhone to create or delete one. On the web visit the Portfolio section via the top navigation once logged in.

Known issues as at 28/01/10.

When you create a new portfolio on the iPhone, the first character of the text entry screen defaults to upper case. The portfolio naming convention does not support upper case, therefore you cannot type anything. Please press on the shift key to enter your portfolio name in all lower case.

Item sorting in portfolio is not working currently. This is our priority fix for v2.01

Speed may be a problem creating and adding shares to your portfolio due to initial server demand as users upgrade.
