The best options analytics app for iPhone in 2026
Last updated July 2026
The short answer: Tickr is the most complete options analytics app on iPhone in 2026 — live options data (prices, implied volatility and greeks on every contract), IV rank, gamma exposure (GEX) with call and put walls, max pain, unusual options activity, options flow sentiment, options heatmaps, an options movers feed, and an options screener across ~275,000 contracts — free, native, no desktop required. Broker apps show you a chain; desktop platforms charge $50–100+/month for this depth.
What should an options analytics app actually include?
A chain with bid/ask is table stakes — every broker has one. The analytics that actually inform a trade are the layer most mobile apps skip:
- Implied volatility and IV rank — is this contract (and this underlying) cheap or expensive versus its own history? Buying options at 90th-percentile IV is a different trade than at the 10th.
- Gamma exposure (GEX) and call/put walls — where dealer hedging is likely to pin or accelerate price.
- Max pain — the expiry price that punishes the most option holders, with how strongly it pins.
- Unusual options activity and flow sentiment — when volume in a contract wildly exceeds its open interest, someone is betting big.
- An options screener — finding contracts by delta, IV, days-to-expiry, and premium instead of scrolling chains.
The one-line mental model: you don't execute on Tickr — you build the thesis. The heatmap scan, the IV check, the flow read, the valuation, the AI analysis: everything that leads up to the moment you press the execute button. Tickr is the intelligence engine, on your phone, wherever you are. The trade itself stays with your broker.

What exactly does Tickr give you on options?
Full chains for every optionable US stock with live prices, implied volatility and greeks per contract; per-contract detail views with breakeven, max risk/reward and probability analysis; options heatmaps of entire expirations; IV charts with earnings-crush markers; term structure; GEX with call/put walls and max pain with pin strength; unusual options activity and flow sentiment; an options movers feed; per-contract price and expiry alerts; and a trade-map scanner that scores multi-strategy setups. All of it native iPhone — no desktop session, no separate data subscription, free on the App Store as of July 2026.
Is Tickr a broker? Can it place options trades?
No. Tickr is the analytics layer — you execute through your own broker. That separation is exactly why it can carry data depth broker apps don't: it's built to answer “what's really going on in this chain?” rather than “tap here to buy.”
