Good portable app
This is a pretty decent iPad version of FactSet. No, the service isnt free and they should probably do a better job of making that clear in the app description.
Aside from that criticism, I think current FactSet users will find this to be a pretty useful application for tracking portfolios in real time away from the office. Accessing news, Street estimates and research notes is also quick and easy. With that said, I dont think the user interface is as good and easy to navigate as it could be. Id also like to see richer features in terms of charting and more general functionality.
But I cant really complain too much as it is a free perk for current users.
I will be interested to see how it compares to the new release of the Bloomberg mobile app for iPad.
