Good free Android app for stock/fund price alerts?

Does anyone know of a good stock/fund price alert app for Android that doesn't require a paid subscription?

    Standard Google portfolio? Funds only change daily so it's not going to need up to the minute info but it does show share prices during the day
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    You can set up price alerts on T212.

    It looks like even the "Essential" plan at £12.95/month only allows 20 price alerts, so I'm guessing that the free service is very limited?

    I just registered for this. I don't see an option to register for alerts anywhere. Is this perhaps only available if you invest using the platform??

    This looks good, apart from the fact that alerts are deleted after 90 days, which is not really long enough for my purposes :0(

    I can't find a way of limiting these alerts to price alerts (I don't want any other types of alert for my selected stocks). Is this possible?

    What are your purposes?  I'd have thought that alerts would typically be used to notify of share price movements in order to take immediate (or very short term) action, so it isn't obvious (to me, at least!) why they'd have any value later on?

    I have a list of stocks on a buy list when their price meets a chosen level, and also a sell list using similar logic. They may well not hit my target prices within a 90 day timeframe
