Can everyone share the apps they are using to follow the stock exchange?
Maybe add the pros and cons as well.

Yahoo Finance is a great one to be honest. What exactly are you after? Maybe company yearly stats like revenue, profits and ratios?

Thanks @Vlad , I was mainly interested in what everyone else is using so I have updated the post accordigly.
personall Iām looking for a simple and clutter free app/site the a novice can use easily and that will also give me just the necessary information and stats to decide if I want to buy/stell a stock.

Give stockrow.com a go. In my opinion, the best tool to take general stats and ratios for your analysis (no UK stocks there I think).
Tipranks.com is good too, but their design is not as slick and there are many paywalls. However, this one has a great AI feature that gives you bearish and bullish news for companies your pick, quite useful actually. Since I have about 15 companies in my portfolio, all news for them are clustered there.
Feel free to ask if you need any more help with those

Personally, I used WeBull for tracking the stock market as the information there is pretty comprehensive which includes key statistics, capital flow, news, analyst forecasts and you can set a reminder for any upcoming earning report as well .

A couple of others that havenāt been mentioned, that I liked:
TeleTrader - https://www.teletrader.com/
Koyfin - https://www.koyfin.com (but it is U.S. only)
I really liked Yahoo Financeās mobile app for its simplicity - I can get straight to what I care about. Theyāve made it a bit worse with the extra hop to get to my portfolio overview. However, I find that the data is a bit unreliable at times (in particular for less liquid ETFs).

Iāve played with Google Finance before, but never built something to manage the full portfolio.
Here is a copy of one I made previously Portfolio Management - Shared - Google Sheets
Iād love to hear the thoughts and ideas of others. Maybe we can build out something decent as a group?

For several months now (since Googlefinance had a big update), I havenāt been able to get it to show any data on UK mutual funds 
. Until that point I was a big fan, now making do with Yahoo finance.
[Update: see Google Finance portfolio tracking - #67 by rod for UK mutual fund prices in Goog Sheets]
Iāve just started inputting my FT portfolio into a google sheet
Some of the prices donāt seem to be correct 
For example āMIDDā below should be 1695 not 109?
Traded on the London market so use the āLONā prefix : =GOOGLEFINANCE(āLON:MIDDā, āpriceā)

Well, it isnāt available as an iOS app for me. Since March, the website is barely there (the portfolio has atrophied into a watchlist). Iāve mostly used it as a call in the Google spreadsheet, ie like Jimās example:
Yeahā¦ the annoying thing is that UK mutual funds worked fine with Googleās weird identifiers (eg MUTF_GB:VANG_LIFE_80_1MOSZN3) for a few years, and then with ISIN codes (eg GB00B4PQW151.L) for a few years, and nowā¦ I canāt make it return the price of mutual funds, whether I use Citi, Sedol, ISINā¦

OK - to clarify I was talking about the GoogleFinance function within the Google Sheets iOS app
