The new features

1. Modernized design and improved navigation

The design of the TransparentShare app has been completely redesigned. It now complies with the latest standards and is even more user-friendly. Optimized fonts and sizes ensure improved readability and a pleasant user experience. The menu items are now more clearly structured and easier to understand. On mobile devices, a new navigation bar at the bottom of the screen makes it easier to access the most important functions, while additional options are visible in the menu.

2. Dark Mode

By popular demand, there is now a dark mode! You can now decide for yourself whether you prefer to use light or dark mode - perfect for use in different lighting conditions.

3. Advanced stock selection

We have significantly increased the number of stocks evaluated. Our evaluation portfolio now includes over 1,125 stocks, including newly added stocks from the Austrian ATX and the Japanese NIKKEI 225.

4. Explanations of the indices

There is now a detailed explanation for each index to help you better understand the respective index and its special features. In addition, the flag of the corresponding country is now displayed so that you can see at a glance which country the index is assigned to. This makes it much easier for you to orientate yourself and assign the stocks.

5. Improved key figures overview

In the key figures overview, the value of the key figure is displayed directly in the list. There is no need to expand it in a complicated way. In addition, it is highlighted in color whether a key figure is positive, neutral or negative.

6. Sector and security identification number

The associated sector (industry) and the securities identification number are now displayed for each share. The sector gives you a clear idea of the area in which the company operates and helps you to better understand the share structure. In addition to the ISIN, the securities identification number (WKN) is another unique identifier that some of our users prefer to use to clearly identify shares.

7. Copy ISIN and WKN to clipboard

With one click, you can copy the ISIN and WKN of a share to the clipboard to use it in other applications, such as your banking app.

8. Advanced Stock Details

The detailed view of a stock has been expanded. Now you can see additional data such as market capitalization and cash flow per share - all at a glance.

9. Company profile

It's now easier than ever to learn more about a company. More details on the company profile are available with one click to give you a better picture of the company.

10. Improved display and sorting function for "My Stocks"

In response to popular user requests, we have optimized the “My Stocks” view: More stocks are visible on mobile devices, and you can display additional details with a click if required.

Also frequently requested and now available: a sorting function that allows you to customize your stock list. This way, you can keep track of everything and sort your favorites according to your priorities.

11. Improved profit and loss display

You can now choose whether the profit/loss of your positions in "My Stocks" should be displayed in percent or in euros. In the old app, only the percentage was displayed.

12. Latest news about your stocks

In the new version, you can now also see current news about the stocks in your portfolio – so you always stay up to date.

13. Support for savings plans: Add shares with decimal places

We've listened to your requests and now support savings plans in "My Shares." You can now specify the number of shares with decimal places. The old app only allowed whole numbers, but now you can precisely enter the exact number of shares you have purchased in your savings plan. This improvement makes it easier to accurately manage your investments.

14. Improved search function

If a search doesn't find a share, this is now clearly indicated - the TransparentShare logo appears. The old app just showed an empty list, which could be confusing.

15. Current posts directly in the app

Current articles from the TransparentShare editorial team, such as “Top dividend stocks” or “Underrated stocks with potential”, are now displayed directly in the app. You can display these as tiles or in a list.

16. Improved payment and subscription functionality

Users of the web application and the Google app version can now view invoices, change or cancel their subscription. Nothing changes for users who buy the subscription from Apple.

17. Support for additional payment methods

In addition to paying by credit card and SEPA, users of the web application and the Google app version now have other payment methods such as PayPal, Apple and Google Pay available. Nothing changes for users who buy the subscription from Apple.

18. Coupon code for discounts

Voucher codes can now be used to receive discounts on the purchase price. In the old app, voucher codes could only be used to extend the trial period. This functionality is only available in the WebApp and the Android app. To do this, a promo code can be entered in the payment dialog.

19. Increased password security

To protect your data even better, we have increased password security. Your password must now contain at least eight characters, one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number and one special character.

20. Now also available in English

Our TransparentShare app now automatically adapts to the language you have set as default in your browser or on your device. This means that the app is now also available in English without you having to manually change the language. Try it out and experience TransparentShare in English!

The development of the new TransparentShare app: A look behind the scenes

Developing the new TransparentShare app was an exciting and intensive project. In December 2023, we started work and launched the development project codenamed "NextGen". We chose Flutterflow and Firebase as development platforms - tools that our developers loved. 

The focus was on the simplicity of the user interface and seamless integration across devices. The app may look simple, but the technology behind it is complex and sophisticated. We invested a lot of time and energy to ensure that the app works perfectly on both large screens and mobile devices. Our development team put in numerous days and nights of work to achieve the best possible result.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our loyal users, whose feedback helped us make the app even better. I'd especially like to thank Daniel, Steffen, Max, Paul, Felix, Matthias, and Kerstin for their exceptional teamwork and the many fun hours during the development and testing phase. 

Now we are curious to hear your opinion on the new TransparentShare app and look forward to your feedback! Test the app and let us know how you like it.

Have fun trying it out!
