CNBC Real-Time for iOS
CNBC’s iPad app gives users access to live, real-time stock quotes from both the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ Marketplace.
The app is divided into four main sections—markets, news, videos and “My Stocks.” The markets section contains the bulk of the data available with the app and is divided into eight subsections—indexes, pre-markets, movers, commodities, currencies, bonds, Dow impact and CNBC stocks.
The indexes tab offers current quotes and performance data for major U.S., European and Asian indexes, including five-day return, a thumbnail chart of the day’s trading activity and a brief news headline. Tapping on an individual index will take you to a full-screen chart with multiple time frames. You can overlay an additional index chart for comparison and choose from over 10 fundamental and technical indicators.

I wish I could get the Heat Map for Android. Sounds like a great tool.

Fidelity has a heat map for ETFs that is free. It's not exactly the same as the IOS app, but it does a great job for the price.
I have saved the URL on my iPad as an icon and use it all the time. It's called ETF Tracker and the URL is http://research2.fidelity.com/fidelity/screeners/etf/heatmap.asp

Michael, Google Play store has an Android app called HeatMap in a free version and a $3.89 ad-free Pro version. You can choose from three maps: S&P 500, World, and ETF. It's a great tool to gain insight into market performers for timeframes ranging from 1 day through 1 year. It can also display volumes.
