FAQ

MarketCast is free to download and use, with no account needed. The free plan shows delayed prices and is supported by commercials and sponsors. An optional Premium upgrade unlocks real-time prices and more, and an Enterprise plan is in early access for firms that run many screens. Compare plans. We built MarketCast because we wanted this tool to exist, and we believe financial information should be accessible to everyone.

MarketCast is developed and maintained by ADAMAPPS LLC, an independent software studio. We have been building MarketCast since 2016 and continue to actively develop new features and support new platforms. You can learn more on our about page.

MarketCast is available on the following platforms:

• Amazon Fire TV: every model, including Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, Fire TV Cube and the newest Vega OS sticks
• Android TV: Sony Bravia, TCL, Nvidia Shield TV, Xiaomi Mi Box, and other Android TV devices
• Apple TV: 4th generation and later (tvOS)
• Chromecast with Google TV, and other Google TV devices

No, and we have no plans to build for Roku. Roku is built around streaming video channels, not full apps like MarketCast, so the experience our users expect, and the audience looking for it, are not there. A Roku version would also have to be written from scratch in Roku's own programming language, with none of the code, tools or testing behind our Fire TV, Google TV, Android TV and Apple TV apps carrying over. Apple and Google give developers far better tools, so that is where we put our time. If you have a Roku TV, plug a Fire TV, Google TV or Apple TV device into a spare HDMI port and MarketCast runs on it. The full developer's answer: why MarketCast is not on Roku.

MarketCast is designed specifically for the TV experience. It is not currently available as a phone or tablet app. The interface, font sizes, and navigation are all optimized for viewing from across the room using a TV remote. We recommend using your TV or streaming device for the best experience.

Yes. You can install MarketCast on as many devices as you like. Sign in with the same Google, Amazon or Apple account on each device and your portfolios will sync automatically across all of them. Many users run MarketCast on a TV at home and another in their office.

MarketCast displays stock prices (delayed on the free plan, real-time with Premium), daily price changes and percentages, historical price charts across multiple timeframes, market news headlines, and portfolio summaries. It supports US equities (stocks), ETFs, mutual funds, and major market indexes including the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite.

The Stream puts your stocks, the market and the headlines full screen on your TV, cycling on a loop with a ticker tape. It displays stock prices, history charts, and news headlines. With Premium you can customize the Stream and the ticker tape. It is designed for always-on displays wherever you want a hands-free view of the markets at home: turn it on and leave it on.

MarketCast sources its financial data from reliable third-party market data providers. Prices are delayed on the free plan. Premium adds real-time stock prices during market hours (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET on trading days), plus crypto around the clock. MarketCast is designed for informational and monitoring purposes. It should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always confirm prices with your brokerage before executing trades.

MarketCast currently focuses on US-listed securities. This includes stocks listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq, US-traded ETFs, mutual funds, and major US market indexes. Many international companies are available through their US-listed ADRs (American Depositary Receipts). Direct support for international exchanges is something we are evaluating for future updates.

No account is needed to use MarketCast. Signing in is optional: sign in with Google, Amazon or Apple (depending on your TV) and your lists follow you to the web and to your other TVs signed in to the same account. Install MarketCast on another device, sign in with the same account, and your portfolios will appear automatically. There is no manual export or import needed.

The free plan includes a portfolio and a watch list. Premium adds custom lists with unlimited stocks, so you can build as many watchlists and portfolios as you need.

First, make sure your TV or streaming device is connected to the internet. If you are on a Fire TV or Android TV, try clearing the app cache: go to Settings, then Apps, find MarketCast, and select Clear Cache. If the problem continues, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Your portfolio is stored in the cloud, so you will not lose any data.

MarketCast collects only the minimum data necessary to provide the service, primarily your portfolio data and, if you sign in, your sign-in information so we can sync it across devices. We do not sell your personal information, track your browsing habits, or share your portfolio data with third parties. For full details, see our privacy policy.

Yes. You can request complete deletion of your data at any time through our data removal page. We take data privacy seriously and comply with all applicable data protection regulations.
