Found this app by accident last night (searching for MSN Money alternative - NG for 6.1 ROM) and I am really liking it. I will spend a couple days putting it through it's paces, but you can expect a cup of coffee coming your way. Thank you.

After installing 2.1, I decided to give 3.0 a whirl and have a few comments/questions.

-The new interface with the menu buttons are finger friendly and work well, but I am not sure if I like the pinkish and greenish gradients as compared to the bold colors of v2.1. Have not read this whole thread (will do that tonight) so I don't know if you have gotten negative comments on the bright colors but I sort of liked them.

-When tapping on a stock, I expected to see an extended view with Previous Close, Volume & Day's Range, but it wasn't there. Just the quick icons, which are good, but that added info in v2.1 eliminates the need for me to jump to details in most cases.

BUG: I opened a chart to view and when I tapped to close it (lower right) it took me back to my device Home Screen. Easy Shares was still open so I went back in, but when I tried to view another chart all I got was a small dialog that said "OK". Tried several charts, same result. I am guessing it's not supposed to work this way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi jimski

Thanks for your comments about my new version. I decided to change the color for a lighter looking interface. In my opinion there would be too much colors on the screen. But that's a personal feeling.

I had no other comments about the new colors. But let's see :-)

The problem with the charts download is already known (see http://forum.easyshares.ch) and already fixed in the next beta version. Unfortunately it's not yet released, but I'll release it within the next days, if I find some time to do additional coding.

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Thanks for the reply. No doubt the colors in v2.1 are bold :eek: and you may very well be right regarding too much color on the screen. The gradient in v3.0 did look a bit washed out though, almost to the point that I didn't notice the difference between a red/green stock, at least on my screen. So you might want to play around with different degrees of the gradient while still maintaining the brighter look.

Just wondering about my extended view comment. Is it the plan for v3.0 to require that you tap the Details icon to see any additional info or are you still playing with the extended view.

As an FYI, I wrote up a little mini review for your app in the forums at Mobility Digest and they decided to make it a front page post :D. You can find it here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jagan2:
Thank you to the author this application is really great it loads every stock with details.

But i have a request to the author : Please Please convert this application to a widget i know wm 6.1 and lower device does not support but atleast you can make a special version for wm 6.5 and above. Msn money widget convert this with graphics that would be nice plus this application will run more better in widget u can link a stock to a website so that if we click it opens directly in widget by rendering ie engine. That would be really awesome plz can u do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] izebreaker:
First Thanks for your great app!

Looks good and works fine, but i have just one big problem:

want to display "deutsche bank" = DB

but this is the NYSE course, is it possible to show the german noted course?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Yes, this is possible. You have to search for the correct symbol. The correct symbol for "Deutsche Bank" is DBK.DE.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=DBK.DE
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] izebreaker:
Big Thanks!

Great Tip...:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
you're welcome :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
raftbone,

Sorry for asking, but I cant find the "National Bank of Greece" from Greek (Athens) stock exchange, (I only founded the NYSE: NBG, http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=NBG)

I would greatly appreciate any help.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Try this:

http://finance.yahoo.com/lookup?s=greece

I don't know if the correct one is in the list. If not, then it's probably not possible to monitor it using EasyShares...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
Unfortunately it's not in the list.

Thank you for your reply!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uzziah0:
This looks great.

I tried the link in the first post, but got th web page would not open, and said the service is not available.

I googled easy shares, and found a few sites that had it, but linked back to the missing site. I found one, freewarepocketpc that had it where I could download.

I'll get it on my PPC, and give it a try.

Update: Got it installed, it is great.

I have version 2.1 Beta 4.

I like how it shows a summary of the stocks in one group, then details; I was impressed with how much info this brings in for each stock.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi and thanks for the info. On www.easyshares.ch you'll find a beta of the new version 3.0. Give it a try. It has many new features...

Unfortunately, I did not get much feedback to the new version. Especially the alarm feature has not getting any feedback.

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi jagan2

Thanks for the input, but at the moment I have no plans to create a widget. I did not even read anything about how creating widgets.

The new version 3.0 is able to update stock information in background and has an alarm feature. Please give it a try...

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi jimsky

Many thanks for the review of EasyShares. I greatly appreciate it, and maybe it'll produce some more donations for my work.

I have just decided to get back the quick overview with the additional information such as previous close, days range and volume. The next version will include it again.

And, I'm currently testing some other colors to better indicate positive and negative values. It's indeed difficult to see the difference on some displays. The display of my HD2 looks good, but some others don't.

So, expect some changes here for the EasyShares 3.0 Release Candidate.

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jagan2:
hi raftbone,

Ok about that widgets ok no problem... may be in future.

Btw your app is awesome i mean everything is perfect now i think you should work on graphics it can be made more attractive. :D

Edit: You can use some glossy buttons etc to better indicate colours etc.... and some animations.

But havent tested version 3 beta 3 build 99 will try and give feedback today or most probably tomorrow.

One more thing you can make this application more userfreindly by adding some more features like the ability to add new stocks from yahoo (diff countries) and msn etc... coz if i want to add many stocks first i have to find their codes from yahoo and then input them one by one.

Btw i dont need this app but my freinds need... :-D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
A little request (don't think very difficult to implement).

I see you can ask for graph for a certain stock and for a determined period.

- Is it possible to have a command line options to use it from external applications/scripts?

For example:

Graph for Google last year:

easyshares.exe -download -s goog -p 1y

I'm thinking to build something like a frontend for WAD2 with a minimal set of info but I would like to start download directly from WAD2.

- Alternatively, could you make an option to download all graphs for all periods and for all stocks? Or at least make this option configurable (both for stocks and period)? The advantage here is that download will happen when connection is available, while graphs will be available even without any connection.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi

This can be achieved much more simple. The graphs are the original graphics from Yahoo. They can be accessed directly by using the appropriate URL.

For Google and 1 year it's: http://chart.finance.yahoo.com/c/1y/g/goog

Hope this may help you...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] waxingsatirical:
I've spent the last few hours trying to decide which stock monitoring application to download.

Had a look at easy share, but it doesn't look like it has any useful functionality. It just displays the price and day change of inputted stocks.

I just found Stock Duck, which although is less pretty looks like it has all the functionality I need. By this I mean, it shows you your total portfolio value, and gain as a percentage from any given time. Also lets you add in dividends and trading costs so you gain can be made relevant.

Haven't used it much yet, but definately one worth checking out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi

Thanks for your input. I'm the developer of EasyShares and I'm not sure if you really tried all the functionality of EasyShares. It DOES NOT only show the price and the day change. I'm not sure, which version you were working with, but the new vesrion 3.0 has functionality for track your buying and sellings, it shows you almost every info you'll find at finance.yahoo.com.

You can even read the finance news provided by yahoo directly in EasyShares. It show you graphics, you can set alarms to be automatically notified when a share reaches your limits etc.

Try the new Release Candidate available at www.easyshares.ch.

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Yes i know very well. In practice I've already a mortscript taking out all the info I like/need, chart comprehensive. After downloading, I use everything inside WAD2.

However it's a mortscript, quite slow, difficult to configure, and not working very well for automatic scheduling.

My idea was to have your application as "backend" and to get rid of mortscript. Better, to use it only to read data inside application files.

Only thing I would miss just now in such scenario would be the graphs. I would like a lot to completely rely on a good application instead of such mortscript.

Of course it's only a suggestion, however at least the chance to have a cache of every graph could be useful for your application alone I think.

Thanks anyway! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
OK, maybe we can come together with another possibility for charts downloading. It's kind of "crazy" to use my huge application only as a backend to download graphs.

The better way would be a small and tiny command line application which can be started with arguments and only downloads the graphs to a specific location. In fact, this should not be very difficult to realize.

Give me some time to do a little research or even better, send me a PM with your email address. I'll have a look at it and we could better get in contact by mail.

Would that be an idea?

Cheers, raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrwangkai:
Great app, shared it with our readers: http://bit.ly/cyZWax :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
I'll gladly PM my e-mail address. As I said I've a more or less working MortScript doing "everything" I want, but it isn't so reliable as I want and quite difficult to configure for other people.

However, just to be clear, I DON'T WANT to use your huge application ONLY as backend to download graphs :D:D:D

I want to use your beautiful app for managing everything about stocks, then to use only a subset of info to be shown on a WAD page. Thinks about something like a Sense page with very basic infos (name, value, percent etc.). Because in my current page I use cached graphs to show them even without current connection, this is the only thing missing and this is the reason of my request :).

By the way the tiny dedicated application can be a very good idea, I could give you my mortscript as guideline.

Finally, having the subset info directly in registry would avoid me the mortscript to parse the xml, however I don't want to "bomb" you of requests :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] waxingsatirical:
me again,

I had a look at your latest release candidate, but still feel it needs some basic functionality to make it useable.

- shows % day change and gain but not % change from inception

- didn't get what the buy/sell tickbox was all about on the initial 'add' screen

- is downloading prices that are in pence as and displaying as pounds

- can't see an overall % gain for inception of the portfolio. Although this might just be because it's hard to find and I didn't look long enough. Total gain from inception, can be shown if you turn it on in the options, but doesn't work with different currency priced stocks.

- can't see a way to add fees/commissions against trades, so guess I need to work this out myself and incorporate it into the price to get accurate calculation of gains.

Much prettier, but think i'll stick with stock duck for now

Hi...the link to the site and v3 is down as at 23rd February? I'm using v2 and enjoying it so am very keen to give v3 a try, is the cab available anywhere else? Thanks for your hard work.

To all translators !!!

Version 3.0.0 is near at it's final build. The language file for Version 3.0.0 can be downloaded at http://forum.easyshares.ch/.

I've seen that it already was downloaded a few times. Unfortunately I did not receive those translations. Please upload them at www.easyshares.ch to share them with all the other users of EasyShares.

Already received translation are: german, english and dutch.

Older versions were already translated to german, english, spanish, italian, swedish, traditional chinese and french.

Those translators are probably already working on it...

Many thanks for any help (or donation :) )

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Let me know if you need italian translation...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrism_scotland:
Does this cover all European markets?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
I'll let you know, many thanks. Hopefully all the translators soon deliver their translations :)

The answer is difficult. You can monitor all shares and indices, you can find on the Yahoo Finance pages. Just go to http://finance.yahoo.com/ search for the share and enter the symbol found there into EasyShares.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
HI !

I will work back on the new version of the french translation :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
That'll be great :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi everyone

Version 3.0.0 is nearly finished. The only thing still missing are the translations. My original translators seem to not have enough time to translate the app.

So, please help me to include as many languages as possible for the final version 3.0.0. Language done by me: English, German.

You can download the english language file here:

http://forum.easyshares.ch/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3

If you have translated, please upload it here:

nice program but does not give me data from web. sad on my Asus P750.:confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
hi hamos

is it possible that you have a proxy server configured for using the internet connection?

if yes, please download the new release candidate of EasyShares 3.0.0 at www.easyshares.ch and please, please let me know if it then working...

i've implemented some stuff for all proxy users, but have not received a feedback yet, if it's working...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hamos_wks:
I am not sure whether my phone is having problem. I am not using any proxy setting. Downloaded the V3 but still having the same problem.

:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hmm, strange. Normally this should really work, because I'm simply accessing an http website, and the internet connection stuff is done automatically by Windows Mobile itself. It doesn't matter, wheter you're using a 3G or WiFi connection.

Are you able to get to the internet with other tools? Such as ActiveSync etc.?

I'll just write a small application which should write a debug file. Maybe I'm able to get some more information with that. As soon as the small app is written, I'll get in contact you (PM). Is that ok for you?

Problem german.lang

Hi raftbone,

I have a problem if I want to switch to german.lang. Your program shout down abrupt.

If I delete the options.xml the program starts in english and after I switch to german he shout down.

If I conform the options.xml the same problem.

So I think your german.lang ist corrupt?

Can you help?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
There seems definitely to be a problem with the german language file. What version do you have installed?

Version 3.0.0 is now available. You can download it at www.easyshares.ch. Please try this and let's see if the error happens again...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Schnurz:
sorry.

This problem is with the newest Version. I have it tomorrow from your homepage.

With the older Version I don´t have this problems.

ups, sorry. i was just able to reproduce the error. i'll have a look at it tonight. meanwhile, please work with the english translation.

as soon as i have found the bug, i'll republish it on my page...

OK, the correct version is now available at www.easyshares.ch.

Please redownload and install it. The german translation file indeed had an error... Sorry again...

Hi,

really good app, but is there any way to force the app to download the stock price and details from the London Stock Exchange. So for example if i use symbol BP it gets the US price. I tried LON: BP and LSE: BP but this is not recognised. Any tips?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Just had a look at http://finance.yahoo.com. Enter BP as search string and the second entry was "BP.L". It should be the stock from london exchange.

Just enter bp.l as symbol in EasyShares and you should have your stock information.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] clement_sg:
One feature request.. would you be able to add last update date/timestamp for each stock? It would be good to be in UTC timezone, then adjusted to user's local time with the timezone setting of the phone.

This is very useful for people who monitors local stocks and major world indices. Some stocks/indices are closed for holiday but we have no way to tell with only a single last refresh timestamp.

Thank you! Good piece of work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rishishah:
Yes this did the trick...thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
hi

your idea is good. in fact, yahoo is really devliering the informations needed, but i need to have a deep look at the timezone adjustments and calculations.

unfortunately, for now i have no idea how to do that, but i'll definitely have a look at it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] clement_sg:
Thank you! Now that Yahoo no longer provides DOW current day quotes, maybe you could bypass it with Google's quote?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xenton:
Hi,

First of all excellent app, just a few of points.

1) I made a mistake entering a transaction, and could find no way to edit transactions, in fact I couldn't find a way to delete a transaction, I can view them via portfolio but neither edit nor delete them. I had to delete the share and then add it again, this could be a real pain if a share has several transactions already, then you make a mistake adding one and must delete, re-add then re-enter all the transaction history for the share.

2) It would be nice to be able to add commission to transactions, so this could be taken into account when working out gain/loss.

3) Shares in GBP are listed in pence, which is quite normal. However, this causes a problem when you enter the £ for currency of a share as it simply puts the £ sign in front of the share value in pence thus making it appear worth 100 times more than it actually is.

Thank you for an excellent App
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Please download latest version 3.0.1 Build 120 from www.easyshares.ch and use the symbol INDU instead of ^DJI for Dow Jones Industrial Index.

Yahoo is no longer providing data for ^DJI and is mixing up some information between INDU and ^DJI.

Correct data downloading for Dow Jones will ONLY WORK with the newest version AND symbol INDU.

Fund prices

Hi, this looks like a great app I could use, but I can't seem to get fund prices to work. For example my HTC HD2 come with a stock program that derives its info from Yahoo! Finance, but when I put the fund code into easyshares nothing is returned. Eg Fidelity Global Special Situations code GB00B196XG23.L is available on Yahoo finance and returns the current price. I read through the previous posts and can see a problem with ISIN codes, but now I'm a little confused as Yahoo Finance appears to return the correct info for the ISIN on their website. Thanks

Hi,

i post my first Rom.

I have delegate my friend for cook rom starting from WM 6.1 Rom for TyTN II.

No screenshoot at moment.

I'm testing from one week and work prefectly.

I've installed Spb Mobile Shell too.

If you want to wait my impression on this work, do it.

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

Ciao, posto oggi la mia prima rom per Hermes.

Un mia amico (molto pratico) ha preparato questa Rom partendo dalla Rom WM6.1 per TyTN II.

Gli ho chiesto il favore visto che al momento non erano disponibili rom wm6.1 in italiano.

Al momento non ho screenshot da allegare.

La sto testando da una settimana e per me funziona perfettamente.

Ho installato anche Spb Mobile Shell e va benissimo.

Se vuoi aspettare le mie impressioni prima di flasharla, fallo.

Tra una settimana aggiungerò altri commenti.
