MUMBAI: Web 18's moneycontrol.com has announced the launch of its new application for iPad users.

The financial app is already on iPhone and other smart phone platforms. The new moneycontrol.com iPad app will provide access real-time access to financial markets.

Web18 COO Joyson Thomas said "As increasing number of users are now consuming content and services through tablets and smartphones, it made sense to tap into this fast growing segment of savvy users, and carve out a dominant position in this space. Launching the moneycontrol app for iPad is part of our endeavor to stay in tune with changing user preferences. Looking at the overwhelming response to the moneycontrol app across all other platforms and the feedback that iPad has received from the market, we are positive that the combination of both will take this product to a new level."

With the new iPad app, the users can get real time stock quotes, commodity prices, currency rates, Indian and global market indices as well as access coverage and analysis of financial markets, economy, business and much more.

Users can also access their portfolio and watchlist and watch live streaming of CNBC-TV18 and CNBC Awaaz. They can access moneycontrol's investor community through the message board service.

There are other features like alerts, in-depth information and data on all listed companies, and video-on-demand.
