MarketCast, the stock market app for TV, is a free download. Here is how to install it.
MarketCast checks how much memory a device has when it starts. Devices with under about 1.6 GB of memory, like Original and 2nd-Gen Fire TV Stick, get a lighter display mode that skips scene cross-fades and trims some effects. For example, Market Desk drops its sparkline backdrops. Your prices, charts, news and lists are exactly the same.
