iGold is the best way to track the price of gold, silver, and other precious metals. It’s quick and feature-rich, and beautifully redesigned for iOS 8. Features include Price Alerts, Charts, News, a Calculator and much more:
ALERTS: iGold periodically updates quotes in the background and will notify you when the price crosses a certain threshold, or when the price spikes during the day.
NEWS: The latest news for precious metals and trading strategies is offered from a variety of news sources.
TODAY: The latest quotes appear on Today screen so you are always up to date.
CHARTS: Current and historical charts are available for each of the precious metals.
CALCULATOR: iGolds Calculator quickly calculates the value of jewelry and investments, with options for fineness (24K, 18K, 14K, etc), currency conversions and adjustments for fees and commissions.
CURRENCIES: Precious metal prices are shown in multiple currencies from around the world. Up to the minute currency exchange rates are available for sixty-five different currencies.
BACKGROUND REFRESH: Background Refresh can be enabled to periodically update quotes in the background, issue alerts, and show the latest quote right on the app icon.
PERFORMANCE: iGold requires as little as 1K of bandwidth to quickly and efficiently retrieve real-time price quotes from Kitco.com or Yahoo.
iGold was the very first gold app on the App Store, launched on the day the App Store opened. Now, redesigned for iOS 8 with many new features, iGold is still the best way to track precious metals!
Pros and cons of iGold app for iPhone and iPad
iGold app good for
Ok this is the best one I have on my iPod as the tittle says and the reason why is because its easy to calculate the prices of gold/silver/platinum base on the amount of gold 9 12 22 and 24k and based on wight. I love that feature. The easy to convert spot price to other currency so you know how much is the price in cad, usd and many more. I dont know why the first reviewer gave this a 1 star out of 5 but I have the free kitco app I like this one more
While no app will ever completely satisfy every user, this is the best precious metals app that I personally have encountered to date. It does take a while to learn how to navigate the site to its full advantage but it contains everything I need, and more. I particularly like the simultaneous display of prices in a multitude of different currencies.
One of the best apps out there. You guys should make an app like iBullion it is another good app there out but they stopped updating it.
thanks cool App.
Please Update!!
I want to use this app for iPad version.
Please, Please!!
As far as Im concerned, this app works great, and is certainly useful to me since it provides the spot prices I want to watch, continuously updated 24 hours a day.
The Stocks interface is ok, but the spot gold price code does not work, at least not on my iPhone. And Ill gladly pay a few bucks to avoid either routinely changing a futures contract code or constantly going to the internet for price quotes.
If the Bloomberg app provides metal (or currency or energy) prices, I cant find them.
Sure, I got iGold for the new improved price of $7.99, but I for one would be more than willing to pay $9.99 for any interface that provided currency or energy prices as seamlessly as iGold provides metal prices.
And I cant wait for the updates.
Lots of haters about this app because they dont want to pay as much for it or because they will "code it themselves." - Fact is the app is exactly as advertised - nice interface, works well, very convenient - it is a little more than what I would have like to paid - but there isnt a good alternative in the app store....
Some bad moments
Jeez! U guys showed just enough screens shots to make a person think you knew what you were doing. I wanted something less cluttered than the free Kitco app so I DLd your app. Very Disappointing! In a perfect world I would like to see the following: A separate screen for each metal in a currency or two of my choice, selecting each metal should be completed with the swipe motion similar to the home page apps. turning the iphone sideways switches to chart view of each metal with 1d to 5y timeframes. (similar to the very handy Bloomberg app)
I thought it would be worth it, if only it had the price of Copper. Which is what I really need!
For 7.99, it should at least including PALLADIUM and LIVE & HISTORICAL CHARTS.
Please just know that you are only getting an index on 3 precious metals and not all metal pricing
I bought this for the calculator, but was very disappointed. It only calculates 9, 14, 18, 22 and 24KT. What about 10KT? Not flexible - or useful - enough to justify $5.99. I buy scrap gold jewelry every day, and this seems like a pretty obvious gap. Also, the lack of information or screen shots on the calculator makes me feel cheated, like they were hiding something. Get the free Kitco or Bloomberg app instead. I wish there was a way to give zero or a half star - one star is more than I wanted to give this.
iGold no longer has working charts for gold. In fact, I cant get actual gold prices at the moment. Dont know whats going on, but its been unusable for ten days.
