Apps every crypto trader should install

In the extremely volatile world of cryptocurrencies, you must always keep your finger on the pulse and follow the developments in the industry. Because we often have to make decisions on the go, it is important to have all trading and investment tools at hand. Here is a list of the best apps, thanks to which investing in cryptocurrency will become easier than ever. In the wake of the popularity of cryptocurrencies, the network has been flooded with a huge number of applications for working with a new financial instrument right from the screen of gadgets..

What is the difficulty of choosing

Before you start looking for a decent app, you need to understand, what exactly does a modern user need, what are its goals and the best options for solving the tasks.

Firstly, everyone, who are interested in cryptocurrencies, depends on the accuracy of the information, which means, that the application must provide the required data in a timely and accurate manner. Secondly, despite the fact that some users prefer to work only with certain coins, the application should provide the ability to choose from a wide list of coins. The reason is the following - it is impossible to predict the release of news on cryptocurrency., which is traded in pairs with other cryptocurrencies. Consequently, the very ability to access data is half the battle. Thirdly, access to news required. Applications, not providing a basis for earnings in the form of operational information, cannot open up to the maximum of opportunities.

The following requirements are, rather, wishes due to their rare existence in nature of modern applications: lack of advertising, high level of security, well and the last, the most audacious, - it should be free. Besides trading, you can also earn with bitcoin faucets. Respectively, analysis of such applications is also necessary.

In order to find the ideal or as close as possible to this value of the application for users, working and simply interested in cryptocurrencies, I decided to check the most popular applications. That's what came out of it.

zTrader

ZTrader application – it is a secure client for trading on the largest cryptocurrency exchanges. The app supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies and 17 various exchanges. zTrader has all the features you need to trade directly from your Android device. Allows you to easily switch between exchanges and currencies. zTrader provides a complete market overview based on the Coin Market Cap principle, as well as secure and encrypted storage of API keys. App was highly rated by 92 % users Google Play.

I chose this app for the wrong, that it allows you to bid immediately on 17 exchanges. I just really like its currencies tab, which can be seen in the photo above. It shows the movement of coin rates for the last hour, last day and last 7 days. It's not the same for everybody, but for me this information seems very useful and convenient, so as not to view charts and make up some kind of rough analysis.

TabTrader

TabTrader

The developer: TabTrader

Number of installations: < 500 000

The purpose of the application: Trading on the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges.

TabTrader is an absolutely free terminal for trading cryptocurrency on bitcoin exchanges BTC-E, bit stamp, ANXPRO, HitBtc, BTCChina, Huobi, Kraken, Justcoin, bitbay, Cryptsy, Bter, ItBit, Bitfinex, Coinbase, Clevercoin, Bitmarket, Gatecoin, Bluish, WHAT, Bittrex, BL3P (Bitonic), Poloniex, Bitcurex, EXMO. Allows you to trade various pairs of cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ripple (XRP), Namecoin (NMC), Stellar (STR) Ethereum Ether (ETH) . Fast Bitcoin price charts. Notifications of Bitcoin price changes via push-notifications. News from Reddit, Coindesk, Bitcoin Magazine. Features ★ Absolutely free ★ Alerts do not consume traffic ★ Unlimited number of alerts ★ No limit on the number of requests ★ No ads ★ Traffic consumption is only 3Mb / month on average ★ PIN protection ★ Encryption of API keys

Yet again, originally, I chose it not for trading on numerous exchanges, I am currently only registered on four and for trading it was not difficult for me to enter the exchange itself. The application interested me in topics, that you can display data on the main screen with currency pairs(pairs are selected directly from the exchange) – this can be seen in the photo above. As well as, if desired, you can put a notification when a certain rate of the selected coin is reached. For instance, Zcash stands today 100$, I put notify me on the course 250$, and as soon as the coin shoots to the set bar, the app reports it.

  What are the pros and cons of the digital currency "Bitcoin"

but, everything changes over time, and gradually it became necessary for me to make a sale of this or that coin immediately, not just keep track of graphs and courses. TabTrader fit me perfectly! At all, really like this application. Fast, convenient, informative. I chose the exchange I use(By the way, you can add several different exchanges at once), added your API KEY and trade at any time. When placing an order to buy or sell, a notification is automatically triggered when the rate is reached and the transaction is completed.

There is one more very convenient thing. If you look at the picture below, you can see small triangles on the candles. Green top up and red top down. These are the marks about your transactions., when they bought and sold this coin. Trifle, rather nice). At all, at the moment, I have never seen the best trading application. Attach to it a thing from zTrader about which I described above and besides him one, I wouldn't install anything else.

What we liked:

The app is free. No ads. Low traffic consumption rates. Built-in key encryption. Inside there is the possibility of purchasing bitcoin with a credit card (this function works with several exchanges). Trading available with 500 various cryptocurrencies. There are push notifications. In the application, you can read the news of the most popular sites.

Shortcomings:

When trying to find flaws, they boiled down to an insufficient number of indicators. However, this point can be considered a nitpicking., since all the main ones are in place.

User opinions:

Users note the convenience of the app. There are negative reviews, mainly related to technical problems, to which the application team responds in a timely manner, which speaks of the desire to maintain leadership positions:

Output:

An interesting application with wide functionality, whose team is clearly interested in providing a quality product (what is the lack of advertising alone). Definitely worthy of a place in people's smartphones, interested in cryptocurrencies. Of all tested, it turned out to be the most worthy. During use (Sunday) not a single technical problem occurred.

Bitcoin Ticker Widget

The developer: XBT Apps

Number of installations: <500 000

The purpose of the application: allows you to constantly monitor the price movement of major cryptocurrencies.

The application is built in English, however, the intuitive design makes it easy for everyone to use.

What pleased:

It is possible to work with many of the most popular and convenient cryptocurrency exchanges.

Convenient widget for BTC and LTC (bet on the most capitalized cryptocurrencies).

Inside the application there is the ability to take notes.

What upset:

In practice, the widget often refreshes data at the wrong time.. The application itself is quite slow.

What users are talking about:

The vast majority of reviews are positive. Of the shortcomings, users highlight insufficiently broad functionality..

Output:

Great idea with a widget, however, the overall implementation is lame from a technical point of view. We continue to search and move on.

Cryptocurrency rate

The developer: Cryptolab

Number of installations: <500 000

The purpose of the application: the creators focused on providing the most accurate information about the bitcoin rate and a huge number of altcoins in real time.

  Bundle of investment news: Citrix and "Opening" UniCredit

What we liked:

The application contains more 1000 altcoins. Search by setting priority selection. There is a function for alerting price movements. The application has a function for adding widgets. Supports EUR and RUB. Access to the latest cryptocurrency market news.

What caused the questions:

Problems with notifications (sometimes they don't work). There is some confusion about the names of the coins. They ask for disabling ads 209 rubles.

What users think:

They note some inconvenience due to the impossibility of sorting by exchanges.. But the application is praised for the ability to quickly obtain information about the most promising points of entry into the market.. Negative reviews refer to the technical side.

Output:

App suitable for altcoin investors, who are ready to close their eyes to some technical errors. Paying for no ads is not the best way to attract users. Overall not the most perfect application, due to which the user can miss a good deal. Problems with notifications are all to blame.

Bitcoin Crane

The developer: APPBTC

Number of installations: <1 000 000+

The purpose of the application: the work is built on the classic principle of bitcoin faucets: it allows you to earn satoshi through simple tasks.

What we liked:

You can earn bitcoins. There are referral programs. Fast withdrawal of funds. Access to news.

What did not like:

Small circle app. Does not combine all the intended functionality. All work is focused on making money through performing actions.

What users think:

Most of the reviews in connection with the open referral program are attempts to attract users to register through the use of a code. Cheating attempts are strictly suppressed. Many comments, accusing developers of bad faith. An example of the most innocuous opinion:

Output:

The application will be interesting to users, who want to spend their free time usefully, earning some satoshi. Don't count on mountains of cryptocurrencies - you can't get them here. The payment for precious coins will be a very immodest commission., but that's ok for bitcoin faucets.

Users, who are focused on practical trading and are interested in the news of the crypto market, the application will seem like a cruel joke. In spite of this, his rating allows him to stay in a high place in the list of programs proposed for working with crypt. As practice shows, bitcoin faucets are nothing more than an attempt to cash in on people, wanting to get at least some internet gold. Usually, such attempts end in disappointment.

I asked the experts, what apps they personally use and what they can recommend for our audience.

Answered by Artem Koltsov, Chairman of the Council on Digital Economy and Blockchain Technologies under the State Duma of the Russian Federation, founder of the Casper API blockchain project:

- Based on personal experience, I would highlight the following applications, working on blockchain. If you need to quickly exchange cryptocurrency, then this can be done via ShapeShift. This app is also built into the Jaxx mobile wallet. This wallet is not very reliable and is not very convenient for fast transfers..

If you are trading, then Binance has released its first smartphone app, which allows you to quickly trade. CoinCap is a handy app, if you want to track your crypto portfolio and stay up-to-date with currency prices.

Another interesting project - Steem. The first social network on the blockchain, which is popular in the community. It allows you to receive rewards for content in the form of their own tokens. Yesterday, the number of their users reached 2 million.

Alexey Trizno, Director of Software Development at eCoinomic.net, complements the answer above:

- For personal use, I can recommend Jaxx - a cross-platform multicurrency wallet for storing and exchanging cryptocurrencies. Its main advantage is that it is free and does not have a centralized key storage service.. Jaxx uses an interesting algorithm, allowing to recover private keys using a secret phrase and a list of transactions. Jaxx also has built-in support for converting cryptocurrencies.

In the meantime, we move on to the next application in an attempt to find the most effective.

Coin Market App — Crypto Market

The developer: Crypto Lab

Number of installations: <100 000

The purpose of the application: the development team has relied on constant monitoring of the cryptocurrency market capitalization.

What we liked:

Shows data 1000 cryptocurrency. Each coin is accompanied by complete information. There are price notifications. You can follow the news.

What I didn't like and raised questions:

Testing happened at the time of active attempts of Roskomnadzor, beloved by Russians, to spoil the life of Telegram. Because of this, the application worked every other time and only with the help of a VPN. When the attacks ended, work has not been fully resumed for a long time. Another problem is that charts are loaded out of time, what is a significant problem for people, earning on trading.

What users say:

There are few reviews, connected with Roskomnadzor's attempts to block Telegram. And yes, the overall mood of the feedback block is very positive. Creators respond to criticism:

Output:

It will be interesting to users, who appreciate a simple and concise design when working with cryptocurrencies. However, its choice as a basis for trading is highly controversial.. Possible technical faults, That, judging by the comments, are frequent, unacceptable, when it comes to money.
