la Caixa Stock Music has been developed for the Android operating system.

The new app aims to "keep users current with the stock market situation and saves them from having to constantly check the application" as gains or losses for a stock or index will be indicated in changes to the volume of the music.

Users can choose which stock or index they wish to follow and the application can access all the leading international stock markets, according to la Caixa. The data will be updated every 15 minutes during which time the volume remains unchanged; when new data is received the volume is adjusted automatically, the lender has further informed.

The new app also aims to provide data via tables and graphs especially tailored to the mobile interface.
