Title: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: rbonestell on January 10, 2014, 03:33:25 PM I have just recently released an Android application for monitoring your Havelock Investments portfolio:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rbonestell.myhavelock It only requires portfolio read access with an API key generated by your account on HavelockInvestments.com, it cannot perform any other actions on your account. https://i.imgur.com/vwtYuSb.png https://i.imgur.com/VNqxcJG.png https://i.imgur.com/BhGG7sb.png I'm in the process of adding more functionality, including charts. I also have a small group of beta testers on Google Play providing feedback on new features. If you're interested in joining the beta testers, join the myHavelock Google+ Group (https://plus.google.com/communities/110407867246135171194) then click the "myHavelock Early Access Enrollment on Google Play" on the group page. Right now I'm doing this solely for donations: 1JXgV2fAGyMRfNoLH5U6LL4xLCbXBWn3fF Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android!

Great job, does it have USD value of the security/portfolio ? Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: rbonestell on January 11, 2014, 11:35:13 PM Hello, Great job, does it have USD value of the security/portfolio ? Thanks! No, it does not have the USD value but that's a pretty good idea! Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: zy02264 on January 14, 2014, 07:22:45 AM This looks great! Thank you!
Look forward to see the OS version. Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: NanoAkron on January 14, 2014, 12:39:45 PM This is great. I just can't believe Havelock (a US$40,000,000 company given all the value they're holding) can't spend 3-4 BTC to get this coded up themselves…
Havelock are kinda triggering my 'scam' alarm a bit... Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: rbonestell on January 14, 2014, 03:38:44 PM This looks great! Thank you! Look forward to see the OS version. Thanks! iOS is next, assuming they even allow me to publish it on the AppStore... >:( This is great. I just can't believe Havelock (a US$40,000,000 company given all the value they're holding) can't spend 3-4 BTC to get this coded up themselves… Havelock are kinda triggering my 'scam' alarm a bit... Yeah, I'd be stoked if they offered to buy it from me! In my experience communicating with them, they are very professional and helpful. However, I see your point in that they haven't made many changes or advanced much technologically in quite some time. Makes me think that there might be something big coming, but I have no data to back that up. Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: havelock on January 14, 2014, 04:17:27 PM Thank you rbonestell for a great looking easy to use App.
Setup took less than a minute. We have been approached by several developers to create different types of Apps to integrate with our platform and we do believe that a good trading app is needed and we are working towards that goal. In the meantime thank you once again rbonestell for taking the time and developing this great App, we know we will use it. https://blockchain.info/tx/e16412743e5ccbca21421ce443cda38742e09d2281550562b01a09974d7b4238 Havelock Investments Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android!

But take note - outward public appearance is very important for a company of your size. I know you probably didn't expect to be worth so much so soon, but now you've got people counting on you to secure all our futures!

Post by: rbonestell on January 15, 2014, 03:54:27 PM myHavelock v1.1 has been promoted from Alpha to Beta this week! I have edited the original post to include a screenshot of the primary new feature: performance and volume charts.
Again, to access early alpha and beta versions of myHavelock please join the myHavelock Google+ Group (https://plus.google.com/communities/110407867246135171194) and enroll in early access for the app! This version is expected to be promoted to production early next week. FYI, iOS version coming soon! Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: Sledge on January 15, 2014, 05:06:45 PM FYI, iOS version coming soon! Great news. Just please don't make it free. Make it good, and price it at $5 at least. Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: rbonestell on January 15, 2014, 05:29:24 PM Great news. Just please don't make it free. Make it good, and price it at $5 at least. Out of curiosity, why do you recommend charging? I'm all for earning revenue from my applications but in my experience the ad-based or donation models have been more lucrative. Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: MilkyLep on January 15, 2014, 05:38:09 PM Awesome I just got my LG G2 today, I'll be sure to join the google groups soon and try to test it out!
Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: freedomno1 on January 16, 2014, 05:32:25 AM Looks like a neat idea so gives it a bump up :D
Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: NanoAkron on January 16, 2014, 11:28:00 AM Great news. Just please don't make it free. Make it good, and price it at $5 at least. Out of curiosity, why do you recommend charging? I'm all for earning revenue from my applications but in my experience the ad-based or donation models have been more lucrative. Professional applications for banks and financial services are usually free - look at the apps for Lloyds, Barclays, American Express, Bloomberg etc. Using a freemium or ad-supported model cheapens the user experience and reduces the professionalism of the app. Could you imagine checking out your current account balance on your app, only to have a banner ad for payday loans flashing across the bottom of your screen? Blerg - cheap and nasty. If you have to charge, I'd suggest somewhere in the region of £1.59/$2.59 - but make it worth it. But, this should really be funded by the group that stands to benefit the most - namely, Havelock. They have just paid the developer 1 BTC, which is a good starting point. I'd estimate a good app for a flourishing new financial service should net the author in the region of $50,000-$100,000 (I say this because the app for telling you where to stand on the London underground for the quickest exit earned its developer £50,000 - $80,000). A very worthwhile reward for contributing to our growing little ecosystem here. Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android!

My original intention was to release myHavelock free (without ads) and request donations, then eventually extend myHavelock (ultimately) to be a full-featured Havelock Investments client where users must pay to unlock the trading features - otherwise they can only monitor their portfolio. Perhaps I can get away with pricing that functionality in the range you have suggested. ;D Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android!

Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: freedomno1 on May 16, 2014, 10:55:36 PM It's neat to see community initiative's working and this is the first thing that shows up on the Havelock news page
As of May 8 https://www.havelockinvestments.com/ Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: NanoAkron on May 18, 2014, 01:18:35 AM So why is havelock not willing to develop apps themselves?
They hold a theoretical $40m - yet they have the most basic trading page, terrible stock selection/follow up (NeoBee anyone?) and no hint of an iOS app. This is not the behaviour of a $40m company, but a group of college-aged garage band scammers. Be careful out there. Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: rbonestell on November 29, 2015, 07:12:05 AM For those interested, this project has become open source and published on GitHub:
https://github.com/rbonestell/myHavelock-Android I haven't found much time to maintain it, but would be happy to see new contributors and review pull requests! Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: freedomno1 on November 30, 2015, 08:18:50 AM This is an oldie been a year and a half time sure flies by that said it's neat to see this again, since havelock is still operating and it's been a while.
Good to see ya. Title: Re: [ANN] myHavelock - Monitor your Havelock Investments portfolio on Android! Post by: PesiHUN on December 01, 2015, 09:09:16 PM wow nice job, i really likes havelock and this app is nice

Other than Twentyseventy's B.thing (which is a betting game), name one. CBTC. It's had a rough ride but it's been heading up (if you follow the site/news). Its first year was abysmal, though. |
