E*TRADE Mobile Pro – The Great Recession on the Go
E*TRADE made a name for themselves as one of the early internet banks and online trading firms. At the time, online banking and trading were considered un-secure and risky.
Fast forward to today and mobile banking is the new frontier. The same concerns over security exist and E*TRADE once again is there with a new way to trade.
The E*TRADE iPhone app is a free tool that allows their customers to access accounts, buy and sell stocks, and get detailed stock quotes, news and other financial info.
The menu interface was well thought out and unique. Their designers have done a good job of carrying over the look and feel of the main website. Not much learning curve if you’re familiar with the main site.
The app has the shake to update feature (a la Facebook) and is very responsive.
I have mobile banking apps from Chase and BofA and while they both have their pluses, they seem a little rushed in comparison to E*TRADE. Now if only there can be a bank error in my favor…
