Stock Alarm

News & Sentiment — Freemium

Stock alert app that phones you when a price or technical condition triggers

Alerts delivered as live phone calls, not just push notifications

Overview

Stock Alarm is a news and sentiment alert app built for traders who cannot sit and watch charts all day, sending notifications the moment a price or technical condition triggers. It suits day traders and swing traders across US and global markets who need to stay informed without staring at a screen. This Stock Alarm review covers what the alert system does well and where the reliability gets shaky.

The standout feature is delivery: alerts arrive as live phone calls, not just push notifications, so a critical trigger is much harder to miss than a buzz in a notification tray. Technical alerts including RSI, MACD, and moving average crosses go well beyond simple price targets, letting traders set conditions based on real indicators instead of just a number. A free tier covers three tracked assets, enough for traders to test the system before committing to a paid plan.

The limitations show up in execution and reviews. The Google Play rating sits at 3.9 versus 4.8 on iOS, a real gap that points to a rockier experience for Android users specifically. Some reviewers also report text and email alerts failing to arrive, which undercuts the core promise of an app whose entire job is making sure a trader does not miss a trigger.

Coverage spans US stocks and global markets, with the app suited to day trading and swing trading rather than passive long-term holding. There is no API access, so alerts stay inside the app rather than feeding other systems, though the mobile app is the whole point of the product. Free is the starting price, with a free trial on paid tiers for traders who want more than three tracked assets. Skip Stock Alarm if you are on Android and want the most polished experience, or if you need alerts to integrate with other software; it fits intermediate traders on iOS who want a reliable phone call when a setup triggers.
