A little information about the business and finance news apps for iPhone so far:
The Star MobileA pretty well written app with a clean and nice user interface. However, the performance is a little buggy, and lacks other sections and categories. I sent my feedback and the development team said that they will look into this problem immediately. For the new feature requests, they are looking into adding new sections on our coming release. Nice to know that.
The EdgeMore frequently used than The Star Mobile. Up to date and completely delivered to the users. Works perfectly all the time, except for the advertisements and the lack of retina display icon
Yahoo FinanceHoping for a redesigned layout for its summary page, as the news and information can be delivered in a better way. Other than that, it works perfectly, especially on the market quotes and detailed information. Oh wait, there's no retina display icon support
BloombergNear perfect, but a little too simple which does not have any settings on its news headlines. As for the stock prices, it does not provide pre and post market quotes like Yahoo Finance does.
P/S: Anyone who purchases
The Economist's weekly issues through the in-app purchases? How is it? I notice that I can access to more articles on The Economist site through Mobile Safari than the native app which only gives you the top six stories every week. $4.99, per issue, if I'm not mistaken, is simply too much for me.
