You\u2019d think that all the popular major online tools, especially those from big companies like Google, would have a dedicated mobile app. Unfortunately, that\u2019s not the case. While the Play Store is home to millions of apps, it\u2019s missing a few crucial ones if you ask me.<\/p>\n
There are several online tools I use regularly that don\u2019t have a mobile app for various reasons. That means I have to open them\u00a0in a\u00a0browser<\/a> on my phone to use them, which is less than ideal. It\u2019s not as convenient, and I lose the option of getting notifications that would provide value to my life.<\/p>\n Which of these services do you think needs a mobile app the most?<\/p>\n 29 votes<\/p>\n Google Finance<\/p>\n 38%<\/p>\n CamelCamelCamel<\/p>\n 10%<\/p>\n Have I Been Pwned? (HIBP)<\/p>\n 31%<\/p>\n Google Travel<\/p>\n 17%<\/p>\n AeroLOPA<\/p>\n 3%<\/p>\n Other (let me know in the comments)<\/p>\n 0%<\/p>\n Google Finance<\/p>\n Mitja Rutnik \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n I\u2019m really into all things finance-related, especially the stock market. I\u2019ve been investing for years now and always pay attention to what\u2019s happening in the world of stocks, bonds, and crypto.<\/p>\n Google Finance<\/a> is one of the tools that can help investors stay on top of the markets. It\u2019s simple, but I like it regardless. Especially now that Google announced it\u2019s adding Deep Search functionality<\/a> to the tool, which will bring it to another level.<\/p>\n The tool doesn\u2019t offer as much data as something like Koyfin<\/a> or Yahoo Finance, but it has all the main features someone who just wants to keep up with the latest needs. I can see exactly how the main indexes are doing, not only in the US but across other regions as well. I can also create a watchlist with my favorite companies, view pricing charts, see related news, and access basic financial data for each business. I can even set up my portfolio, so I can always see how much money I\u2019m making \u2014 or losing \u2014 on a specific day.<\/p>\n Google Finance is also free and doesn\u2019t have any ads, but it\u2019s missing a mobile app for some reason. It was available back in the day but was killed off in 2015. So, to use the tool on my phone, I have to visit the site via a browser, which is a pain since this is an app I\u2019d use more or less daily, as the market is constantly moving.<\/p>\n CamelCamelCamel<\/p>\n Mitja Rutnik \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n I do a lot of shopping on Amazon, and since I consider myself a smart consumer, I frequently use CamelCamelCamel<\/a>. The problem with retailers \u2014 not just Amazon \u2014 is that the discounts they are offering can be misleading. Sometimes they raise the price just so they can lower it a week later and put a \u201csale\u201d sign next to the product. And even if that sale is genuine (without a markup a few days before), it\u2019s not necessarily the lowest price the product has ever been sold for.<\/p>\n That\u2019s where CamelCamelCamel comes in. It\u2019s basically a free Amazon price tracker that lets me see exactly how the price of a specific product has changed over a certain period. So, whenever I want to buy something from Amazon, regardless if it\u2019s on sale or not, I just paste the link into CamelCamelCamel and see if the purchase makes sense at that specific point.<\/p>\n I have saved money in a lot of cases just by spotting a price fluctuation trend that implied I should wait a bit, as a sale might be right around the corner. The great thing is that I can set up price alerts to get notified when the price drops below a certain amount, so I don\u2019t have to check the sales page every day.<\/p>\n The experience is great on a desktop computer, as there\u2019s even an extension I can click to see the price chart without opening the website. On mobile, the experience is bad since there\u2019s no app, and I have to open the website in a browser and then paste in the link. Having a dedicated app would be that much easier. Ideally, I could just tap Android\u2019s \u201cShare\u201d button within the Amazon app and select the CamelCamelCamel icon to see a price chart immediately. One can dream.<\/p>\n Have I Been Pwned? (HIBP)<\/p>\n Mitja Rutnik \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n Created by a web security expert, this website lets me check if my data was exposed during a hack. For example, if a website like Facebook gets hacked, I can check on HIBP<\/a> to see if anyone has gained unauthorized access to my email address, username, and other personal information.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n It\u2019s simple to use, really. I just type in my email address and see exactly which data breaches my accounts were a part of. There\u2019s a nice timeline that shows everything on one page, going back years. Unfortunately, my accounts have been part of multiple hacks over the years, which lets me know how important it is that I have a different password for every account and that I change them as soon as a breach happens.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t something I use daily, but an Android app<\/a> would still make sense. While the service does send me an email whenever a breach happens, it\u2019s easy to overlook it. With an app, I could just get a push notification, which I\u2019ll be less likely to miss and would enable me to react to these hacks more quickly.<\/p>\n Google Travel\n<\/p>\n Andy Walker \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n Google\u2019s Travel<\/a> page is brilliant. I can search for hotels, flights, and vacation rentals, covering all my essential travel needs. I really like the \u201cExplore\u201d tab, as I can see general pricing overviews for both flights and hotels, giving me a rough idea of how much a trip may cost. There\u2019s even a section on when the best time to visit a specific city is, alongside the general weather overview for each month and a few popular FAQs about the destination.<\/p>\n The flight search is great. Very Google-like with its simple interface, which makes it easy to quickly get the info you need. There are a bunch of filters available up top to narrow down my options \u2014 stops, price, times, etc. Once I find my flight, I\u2019m given a few different booking options, so I can find the best deal. The hotel booking site works in a similar way, offering a bunch of filters and offers by different providers. This often makes it a better choice than something like Booking.com, as you can actually get a better deal.<\/p>\n Google used to have a Trips app that pulled in all my travel-related documents from Gmail and provided info about specific destinations, although there was no option to book flights or hotels. The app was killed off in 2019, with Google integrating the functionality into its other services. In addition to using it via google.com\/travel, you can also do things like book hotels directly from Search. I\u2019d much rather see Google make a dedicated app with everything in one place again, as that is the more streamlined approach, in my opinion.<\/p>\n AeroLOPA<\/p>\n Mitja Rutnik \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n I used to be a fan of SeatGuru before TripAdvisor bought and killed it. Surprisingly, the online tool didn\u2019t have an app. I have now moved on to AeroLOPA, which is a similar service that gives me all the data I need, and like SeatGuru, it also doesn\u2019t have an app.<\/p>\n AeroLOPA<\/a> basically shows me diagrams of the seating arrangements of airplanes by airline. This makes it easy to find the right seat for me, making sure I can grab a seat that has more legroom and a great view out the window, for example.<\/p>\n![\"Google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Google-Finance-scaled.jpg\"\/ "\\"Google")
