iDashStocks, Dashboard-Reporting Framework Additions

iDashStocks and the generalized dashboard-reporting framework it is built on have already been out for a week with steady growing sales on Apple's iTunes and App Store and we're already working on improving it and adding more features. We want to add the ability to compare more measures, or facts if you're more familiar with dashboard terminology. In future updates, which will be free through iTunes and the App Store for existing iDashStocks users :), you'll be able to switch between measures and perform the same drill-down and kpi monitoring functionality already in iDashStocks but with more data. Review the P/E ratio vs. price, for example. This is our goal, to bring a solid dashboard reporting tool to your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. We will keep adding functionality and listening to your suggestions so iDashStocks and the generalized dashboard-reporting framework provide you with all the tools that have made dashboard reporting a popular means to solid decision making. Another logical next step is to provide more grouping of categories of stocks, e.g., to answer the question of which industry had the best stock price increase, energy stocks vs. technology stocks (this would be adding more dimensions to the “cube” to increase the amount of slice-and-dice you can perform on your data). Combine this with being able to control how you slice-and-dice data using a feature already in iDashStocks, using the built-in accelerometer to change chart scales, and dashboard reporting just got pretty valuable to your business, all this right from your pocket. Who would have guessed.
