Getting started

Why do I need a data key?

Teloscope's prices, dividends and earnings come from a third-party market data provider. A free account with the provider gives you your own key, so your data comes straight from the provider to your device. The app's welcome steps show you where to sign up. Copy the API key from your account, then open Save & Security from the Home menu and enter it under Market Data.

Which stocks can I pick on the free plan?

Up to 5 stocks and ETFs from the built-in list of 80+ popular symbols. Every symbol on it works with a free data key. Teloscope Pro lets you add any ticker and track up to 50.

How do I change which stocks I track?

Open the Home menu and tap the Stocks icon. Your saved positions stay saved even if you stop tracking a stock.

Market data

When do prices refresh?

Every time you open the app, and automatically every five minutes during regular U.S. market hours while Teloscope is on screen. You can also pull down to refresh. iOS doesn't let apps download while they're in the background or the phone is locked. Earnings and P/E update once a day, and dividends weekly, or daily when a dividend date is close.

A stock shows no data or an old price.

Check that your data key is entered and that you're online. Free keys have daily request limits and only cover certain symbols; a symbol outside the provider's free list may need a paid plan from the provider. The API Log shows recent requests and any errors. The last data downloaded stays available offline.

Does Teloscope work offline?

Yes. Everything you've entered and the last downloaded market data are available without a connection. Refreshing needs internet.

Backups and security

How do I back up my information?

Open Save & Security and choose Create Backup. A Portable Backup is protected by a recovery password you choose and can be restored on any device. A Keychain Backup uses a key that syncs through iCloud Keychain, so it restores on your devices signed in to the same Apple Account. Both use AES-256 encryption. Save the file wherever you like, such as Files or iCloud Drive.

I forgot my backup password.

Teloscope never stores it, so a portable backup can't be opened without it, and we can't recover it. Make a new backup while you still have your data on the device.

What's left out of a backup?

Backups hold only what you entered. Downloaded market data is left out and downloaded again after a restore. Your data key, backup passwords, privacy controls and App Lock setting aren't included either, so you'll re-enter your key after restoring on a new device.

Can I lock the app?

Yes. Turn on Face ID or Touch ID App Lock in Save & Security. Teloscope also hides its contents in the app switcher.

Purchases

Is Teloscope Pro a subscription?

Yes. Teloscope Pro is an auto-renewing subscription billed through your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

How do I cancel or manage Pro?

On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose Teloscope. Apple handles all billing, cancellations and refunds; we can't change or refund a subscription for you. If you cancel, Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for. Your stocks and data stay saved, and you're back to the free plan's limits.

I got a new device. How do I get Pro back?

Sign in with the same Apple Account and restore purchases in Teloscope. Your subscription carries over, and you won't be charged again.

Where are the subscription terms?

In our Terms of Use, section 5.

Do I pay the data provider through Teloscope?

No. The provider's free plan costs nothing. If you choose a paid plan, you buy it from the provider directly.

Estimates

Tax, income, dividend and loan figures are estimates. Tax estimates assume a single filer and use built-in federal and state rates. Teloscope doesn't provide financial, tax, investment or legal advice.

Privacy

Teloscope has no accounts, ads or tracking, and your information stays on your device. Read the full Privacy Policy.
