I built a free app for traders who don’t want to get caught off guard by economic news
Hi everyone,
I built a free mobile app called **News Alerts** for traders who want to stay aware of important economic news without constantly checking economic calendars all day.
If you trade forex, indices, futures, commodities, or anything affected by macro events, you already know how quickly one CPI release, Fed speech, jobs report, PMI, or central bank event can change the market environment.
The goal of News Alerts is simple:
**Help traders stay prepared without wasting time.**
The app shows upcoming economic events in a clean daily, weekly, and monthly view. You can filter by currency, impact level, and choose how early you want to receive notifications.
Once you download the app, you can set your preferences: currencies, impact level, notification timing, high-impact-only mode, and appearance. After that, alerts work automatically based on your settings. You do not need to manually activate alerts for every single event.
Current features:
* Daily, weekly, and monthly economic event views
* Currency filters
* High-impact news filter
* Automatic notifications based on your preferences
* Notification timing options such as 5 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours, 1 day, or custom timing
* Dark/light mode
* Clean interface without unnecessary noise
* Free to use
This is not a trading signal app. It does not tell you what to buy or sell, and it does not provide financial advice. It is simply a tool to help traders avoid being surprised by scheduled economic events.
I’m also working on a widget feature, which should be available very soon. The idea is to let traders see relevant upcoming news even faster from their home screen.
iOS App Store:

Android is currently in testing and should be available soon. If anyone wants to test the Android version, send me your email and I can add you to the testing list.
I would really appreciate feedback from traders, especially on:
* Event layout
* Notification timing
* Currency filters
* High-impact filtering
* What you would add to make it more useful
Thanks for checking it out. Any feedback or criticism is welcome.
