AlertaChart on Mobile: iOS, Android, and the Unified Tab Bar

6 min read

AlertaChart's mobile apps for iOS and Android give you every feature from the desktop site, laid out for one-thumb use. The same account, watchlist, and alerts sync across devices the moment you sign in.

Installation

iOS: App Store → search "Alerta Chart" → Get. Android: Google Play → search "Alerta Chart" → Install.

The app is universal binary on iOS (iPhone + iPad).

First-launch sign-in

The mobile app supports Google and Apple Sign-In via the native auth sheets. If you're a guest poking around without signing in, the watchlist and chart still work — but adding new symbols or saving alerts will bounce you to the My Account tab where the sign-in lives.

The four-tab bottom bar

- Ana Sayfa (Home) — discovery feed, news, IPOs, top movers. - Grafik (Chart) — the chart itself. - İzleme (Watchlist) — the unified watchlist with all your saved symbols. - Hesabım (My Account) — your profile, settings, subscription, support requests, sign-in / sign-out.

The old "Hisse" (Stocks) tab was removed in the unified-watchlist migration. Stock charts open like crypto charts — click an equity row in the watchlist and the chart switches automatically.

Push notifications

Server-side alarms fire native push notifications on iOS and Android so you get them while the app is closed, your phone is locked, or you're in another app.

To enable: when the app first opens it asks for notification permission. Tap Allow. If you missed the prompt, head to Settings → Notifications → AlertaChart (iOS) or Settings → Apps → AlertaChart → Notifications (Android).

Gotchas: - iOS Focus modes can silence AlertaChart unless you allow it in the Focus exception list. - Android Battery Saver may delay notifications.

Chart gestures

- Pinch with two fingers to zoom. - Two-finger pan to scroll. - Long-press on a candle to drop the crosshair. - Long-press at a price to summon the "Set Alert" prompt. - Tap the drawing toolbar's blue button at the bottom-right of the chart to switch to drawing mode.

Background data and battery

The mobile app uses live streaming connections for real-time data. When backgrounded, iOS and Android put those connections to sleep — that's why notifications are server-driven on Pro. For free users, when the app is backgrounded, the chart stops updating until you bring it back to the foreground.
