I don’t know what percentage of Freetrade users are on an iPhone, but after the recent announcement at WWDC, it would be great to have a Freetrade widget to see various bits of information about my portfolio at a glance from my iPhone home screen.
I don’t know if this could be done in conjunction with Face ID to still secure the app, but being able to see basic information such as a portfolio summary straight from the home screen would be great.
The iOS14 widgets are currently limited to stock apps (those that you can move to a page with apps rather than just on the today view page)
However on iOS13 there is apps from some banks that work on the today view screen (widgets page) so I see where you’re coming from. Something simple, with just portfolio value for each account maybe?
Are you sure? The keynote definitely showed Nike Run Club and Words With Friends when demonstrating the new widgets feature (so I assumed third party apps would be included also).
I did say “currently”
On the Beta it is only stock apps, I didn’t want to comment on future since I wasn’t sure what would be available at launch of iOS14
As others have said there is an API for future, apologies for confusion caused by my wording.
I am currently using the beta software, and that is limited to stock apps.
By the time iOS is public, there may indeed be an opportunity for a Freetrade widget.
Are you a developer? Or did you get the beta by some other means? I always sign up to the public beta, but would love to get my hands on it right now if there is a way that doesn’t cost me $99
To be fair the public beta is normally the same as the developer beta but just released later to public than developers. I noticed the gap shortens through the development too! So whilst this beta isn’t due to be released to public til July, as we get to beta release 7, 8, 9 etc the public release is then sometimes only a day or too later, if not same day!
I would definitely be interested in seeing these. Probably overall portfolio performance would be most useful or highest movers. Good to have options though.
