No matter what your investment needs are, there's something for everyone. These are currently the best personal investment apps available for iPhone that can help you invest smarter and manage all your assets on the go!

Acorns

Acorns is a brand new investment service that's geared towards younger generations that may not feel comfortable with big brokerages or have a lot to invest up front. Link your credit and debit accounts and Acorns can "round up" each purchase to the nearest dollar. The roundup amount is then split among six different funds and invested for you. Think of it as a way to save your virtual spare change, but better since you're investing it and earning money on it. You can choose how aggressive you'd like to be and have the ability to deposit and withdraw money whenever you'd like. The fees Acorns charges are also substantially lower than what any traditional brokerage would charge.

If you are just getting started with investing and have longer term savings goals, Acorns is a great way to make money on what would be spare change.

Shares 2

Shares 2 is a dead simple way to see what your position is without forking over personal information and without having to weed through pages of brokerage reports. Just tell Shares 2 what your investments are and what you paid for them. Shares 2 will then take care of the rest and automatically calculate your gains and losses given current market conditions. If you have investments in multiple countries, Shares 2 can even give you your position in whatever currency you'd like.

For a quick and dirty snapshot of your current position without having to link any brokerage accounts, Shares 2 is a must have.
