iGold App Reviews

I love this app! I use it everyday and it performs exactly as advertised. Simple interface and choice of data providers makes this a reliable choice. Well done!

too expensive, but, if you add the cellular data network connection, i will give you 5 star.

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.

iGold is wonderful! I use it every day and the quotes are very accurate. Unlike the reviews below, my charts display great (and fast), and quotes are refreshed nicely over my cellular network.

Good, solid, features in an immediately accessible package. A well thought-out tool! Thank you! Use iGold regularly to monitor gold and benefit from continuous price updates, weight, purity and currency conversions.

Nice app you cant get anything better

Ok, this is a really solid program. There is 1 serious problem and another couple of issues that could make this much better. Lets deal with the "cons" first. First the serious issue: When reading what this program will do above it says, "Scrolling up the calculator displays the metals common fineness measurements, priced in user defined currency, in ounces or grams. Gold fineness measurements include 24k, 22k, 18, 14k, 12k, 10k and 9k." This lead me to believe that one could calculate in any of those karat weights. This is not so. This program WILL NOT calculate in 10k or 9k gold. It is not possible to select either of these weights. It will on the other hand show you what the spot price is in each of the karat weights, but will not let you calculate in 10k or 9k. This is a very serious omission and that is why I deducted 2 stars. If Im trying to get an idea of the value of something someone wants to sell and it is 10k, I have to use 2 programs - this one to look up the price per gram and another to calculate the price (multiply price per gram by number of grams of the piece being looked at). Come on programmers, it should be VERY easy to add at least 10k to the calculator. The next issue is that it does not include any latin american currencies. Again, a pretty simple issue that could be addressed in an update, I believe. (This company has another program called iCurrencyPad which is heads and shoulders above all others of its kind. This is why I know they can implement other currencies into this program.) One more issue on the minus side - the multi day chats are not readable. Could you make it so we can pinch and expand them? And how about making this a universal app that at least takes advantage of the iPads screen size. It would make viewing the charts a real joy. Ok, now to its good points. Wow is it ever a great program. It is solid. And a HUGE advantage is that it is available in numerous languages. It works with IOS 4.0 (programmers need to insure compatibility with 4.2) which is a huge advantage. If you need to know precious metal prices, get this now. It is the best. And while it has been awhile since it has been updated, lets hope one is forthcoming shortly to address simple usability issues that would skyrocket the popularity of this program. To recap: Cons: * Needs to add the ability to calculate at least 10k gold along with the others. * Needs to include more currencies (latin american, please). * Multi day charts need to be able to be expanded so they are readable. * Need to make universal so it takes advantage of iPad too. Pros: * Can be used in numerous languages. * Rock solid. * Fast. * Very organized and a pleasure to look at and work with. * Great interface Note to programmers: With precious metals going through the roof right now, this your opportunity to make this a runaway best seller. You are sooooo close.

Love it & use it several times per day! Can you add Palladium price as the 4th category in the next update? (the us mint is even releasing palladium bullion coins in 11) - thanks!!

Love the calculator option! Cudos to the Design R&D guys 

No 10k in the calculator? The majority of scrap and broken gold coming across my counter is either 10k or 14k. Im only able to use this app half of the time because the 10k fineness is not available in the calculator, so i have to hit a website. I has hoping this app would replace that hassle. Please, please, please give an update for this. Get rid of 9k if you have too, but in the US, we see a lot of 10k, and missing this in the calculator really cripples the app. Everything else is absolutely awesome. Again, Im begging you.... Add the 10k option to the calculator.

Use it all the time, please add two things. 10k gold and retina display support. With those it would be invincible. If you deal in precious metal at all, this is the app for you.

Cant find any better than this once

As a jewelry store, I use this app everyday...the only thing missing is the 10k option. 80% of the gold I deal with is 10k but this app only has 9k...where is that even the standard? Please add this option and this app will be perfect.

First time use, app is great and easy to use. It would be a great also to add 21k price too.

Nicest looking icon and UI among the gold tracking app. I thought I would regret buying this app, but I found out that it is extremely quick. Prior to this app I was using Kcast by Kitco. It was good and very informative with info on crude oil, other indexes and news. However, it has ads and doesnt look as crisp. iGold looks great, has a gold calculator, and it loads super fast. Drawbacks are it only has gold, silver, and, platinum, and missing a news section. Im puzzled as to why this app is not higher up which prevented me from finding it until now.

The best app

HATE the new style! Does not automatically show the list of prices of 24, 22, 18, 14, 10K; unless you press them to show the price difference. Before their was a list in which one could scroll down showing all the prices of 24, 22, 18, 14, and 9K. Now I have to individually press each karat to see the price difference. Not good! The blue background was a much better design then a plain off white. What I do like is the new "fee" button and alerts.

Please add 10k option. Also not displaying correctly on ipad 2. Please check and fix. Works great on iphone 5s.

Charts have not worked for the last week
