As of Monday, the Exchange is making available the free download of BM&FBOVESPA apps for iPhone and for the Android platform - the Google operating system that provides guidelines for Samsung's Galaxy tab. The free apps provide information about the Exchange's markets, with indices in real time, equity prices, commodities, futures markets, graphs, and news about BM&FBOVESPA, among other functions.
The apps have been developed bearing in mind the navigability and usability standards of equipment, in order to guarantee the user a richer and more interactive experience. The company responsible for the development of the products is Livetouch, which specializes in mobile apps and which also created BM&FBOVESPA for iPad. The app was launched in November and up to last week had over 17,000 downloads.
With the new BM&FBOVESPA apps the user will have access to:
• indices in real time;
• equity prices;
• a personalized list of quotations;
• interactive graphs for indices, equities, commodities and futures markets;
• news about the Exchange;
• news about listed companies (communications and material facts).
