Is it possible to add another textbox for every stock so you don't have to show the stock code, but a name(free text string)?

Because of the limited column width in the current widget, the text entered in the textbox gets truncated when it is displayed on widget. Additionally, it is tricky to add an editable textbox for each symbol in the current Add/Remove Tickers screen.

If you just want the full name to be displayed instead of ticker symbol, does a bigger size (think more width) widget with full name sounds ok to you?

Can I view Gold, Silver, Platin charts with this program?
Kitco charts do not work sometimes due to Flash problems.

Yes, you can follow Gold, Platinum and other metal futures by entering the correct Yahoo finance symbol. Remember that the symbols for these change every month and Yahoo only has 1d and 5d charts available for them.

You can get the latest symbols from here.

This app is fantastic! Excellent work! Should be used as an example of widget apps everywhere.

Just wanted to say thanks for this widget. Just discovered it today and it seems great so far. Wish it worked a bit better with non-U.S. stocks, but I know that's a Yahoo limitation and not the fault of the app.

Great app, thanks!

Single biggest enhancement would be to add the Maemo switch button in the upper left corner.

Currently I have to open camera lens to switch to another application or access the desktop. I don't use the widget, only the application itself.

Open the slide , press your thumb and a finger on top two buttons on sides ( the arrow one and ctrl ) simultaneously .Both should be pressed at once and at same time .You can simply can go to desktop and can open as many apps as you want to .adios
