StockMeter for Mac0.7.4

It is now abandon ware as the Developer's web site has been terminated.

Was working fine. Stopped displaying in menu bar after trying to add some index symbols. On 10.8.2. Removed Growl 1.2. Updated to Growl 2.0. No luck. App still shows active under Activity Monitor. Does not display in menu bar.

Pros for v0.7.4: >>Simple & sits on your Menu Bar without hindering your activities. >>Shows the currency conversions & Stock as a cycle in the menu bar. Cons for 0.7.4: >> Option "Auto-start after logging in" would have made this application get 5 Starts. >> Option to add the Stock symbols from various countries would have made this application universally usable & a tempting reason to buy (( Google Finance API supports stock symbols from various countries stock exchanges ))

Great little app. Does what it promises. It would be nice if I could set some times when it doesn't update so that it isn't trying to update every 60 secs while the markets are closed and thus wasting bandwidth. Also you folks should start distributing this via the Mac App Store as it would be much easier to find and you would get more users.

Very nice and very minimal! I was wondering how to change the ticker feeds maybe to have a different provider other than google or yahoo. I was thinking maybe marketwatch.com as they provide a more up to date feed during trading hours

Really nice application. But does no longer work under Lion -- at least not for me.

Evidently it will not display the basic stock averages. It rejected ^DJI, DJI and other variants of the Dow Jones. For the S&P500, it rejected ^GSPC, INX and $SPX. It happily accepted individual company symbols. If you want the DJ or SP500 averages showing in your menubar, this application won't do that.

1. Anyone figure out how to add indices like .dji, .spx, .ixic? 2. Anyone else have unreliable news feeds and a suggested fix?

I've been using this for 2 weeks now and love it. Thanks to the developer for making this a free app. It works exactly as stated. The developer seems to be very responsive, actively fixing bugs and adding new features. I'm looking forward to further improvements.

Very nice menu bar app. It does what it is supposed to do.

Very nice applet, UI clean, graphs useful. Could use news feeds.

After watching it "fatal error" on launch --- and checking the developer's website --- it appears that this program V0.6.2 is Intel only.

Very useful application, but I also see the memory leaks on the console.

Seems to work great on SL, save a nagging memory leak: Mar 23 22:08:36 StockMeter.app[9113]: *** -[NSAutoreleasePool release]: This pool has already been released, do not drain it (double release). Mar 23 22:08:37 StockMeter.app[9113]: *** __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x2e8fac0 of class NSCFString autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking Mar 23 22:08:37 StockMeter.app[9113]: *** -[NSAutoreleasePool release]: This pool has already been released, do not drain it Still, it running on my toolbar fine! Thanks.

Works well for me on 10.6.2. I appreciate the simplicity/minimalism of this. Thanks.
