Vanguard for iPad app review

Vanguard

Price: Free

Vanguard by The Vanguard Group, Inc. helps you stay on top of and aware of all your investment activity.

This app gives you a way to manage your Vanguard accounts while on the go in a secure manner on your iPad. You'll be able to manage your account activity such as checking your balance, monitoring the performance of your money through interactive charts and graphs, and accessing 10 years of detailed transaction history.

When it comes to buying and selling, you can do so on the app as well. You can trade your stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds with ease. You can even snap a picture of checks to invest money into your account.

Besides staying on top of your financial activity you can use the app to stay informed. You'll find tons of research information from Vanguard regarding investments. There are news stories, podcasts, and videos to give you insight into the financial marketplace. As well you can check out all the latest market index trends.

A Vanguard account is needed to have full access to the features but without one you can still read the news, review market data regarding performance, and check out the research Vanguard offers on ETFs and mutual funds.

Vanguard was updated on Jan. 8, 2013 and currently has 22 customer ratings with an average rating of three and a half out of five stars.

I found the flexibility this app gave me to be a great advantage. I really liked being able to check my account information and buy and sell on the fly without needing to be in front of my computer.

For: iPad with iOS 4.3 or later
