BitScreener - Review of the Crypto Tracker iOS App
As Cryptocurrency trading and investment is becoming mainstream, people are on the lookout for services and apps that facilitates efficient portfolio tracking, trade recording, screening, live price monitoring etc. There is no shortage of crypto trackers on the web, numerous websites provide live price, some have added the portfolio management feature, some websites also feature the latest news in the crypto industry. However, the Mobile App segment particularly the iOS App Store is an area where there is an evident shortage of enough high-quality crypto tracking services.
Obviously, developing for the smaller screen is more difficult compared to the web. But another major reason for the above is Apple's tedious review process, that sees many potential crypto related apps rejected. Therefore, from a business perspective, it becomes hard to put a lot of development effort into this niche knowing that every app or update has to go through a rigorous review. And yet, people spend most of their time on smartphones, with the iPhone being the most popular phone out there. So naturally, crypto trading apps, portfolio tracker apps, live price monitor apps and news apps generate enormous amounts of traction. On closer inspection of the App Store, it became clear to me that this category is dominated by one or two apps. One of them is the Crypto Tracker by BitScreener
Rated 4.7/5.0, the Crypto Tracker app is Free and was originally released on 26th of June, 2017. The latest version is 3.01, with the app going through more than 25 updates. From this, it becomes very clear that the BitScreener team has been doing continuous iterations based on user interaction, analytics, reviews, and other metrics. The App size is 96.4 MB which is pretty standard for apps in this category. The app supports iOS 10 & above.
BitScreener Crypto Tracker app is an "all in one" cryptocurrency app that enables its users to access live prices from various coin markets, manage their portfolios, get crypto alerts, create screeners and track crypto-related news. The app functions can be summarised as follows.
Real-Time Price Tracking
The app has incorporated real-time Price tracking that is 100% accurate and reliable. This is because the app has exclusive coverage to various crypto markets/trading platforms and streams real-time prices from them. The exchanges include Binance, GDAX, Coinbase, Bittrex, Kraken, Gemini Bitcoin, Bitfinex, Kucoin, YoBit etc.
Real-Time Portfolio Management
This is my favorite bit. Efficient Portfolio tracking is one of the key ingredients of a prudent investment strategy. With BitScreener app, you can create multiple portfolios and add your investments. The portfolio section features a beautiful graphical representation of your investment over time. The current version also incorporates a pie chart representation of your current holdings. Further, the app fetches real-time price information to update the profit/loss data in the portfolio.
Crypto Alerts
The Crytpo Alert feature of the BitScreener is unique and consists of alerts on price recurrences, price limits, performances, volumes and market caps. There is even an "Alarm" function to wake up the users from their sleep at midnight.
Innovative Screeners
Another notable feature of this app is screening functionality that allows users to filter cryptocurrencies based on various metrics such as the market cap (up and down), volume, price etc. Besides the basic screeners, users can also create customized screeners by adding multiple criteria. In fact, some of the criteria such as Twitter followers, Reddit subs, ICO amounts are exclusive to this app and are not available in any other app.
Crypto News
Lastly, the BitScreener app features a News section which covers the latest news related to crypto all around the world. The app uses reputed sources such as Coindesk to collect this information. In the news section, there is a filter feature which can be used to get news specific to a particular cryptocurrency. So if you are primarily an Ethereum enthusiast like me, you would select Ethereum to see the various development and community updates such as forks, improvement proposals, what Vitalik has been up to 😎 etc.
The BitScreener iOS app is localized to languages like Chinese, Spanish, Danish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Mongolian, Norwegian and many others. Based on the data provided by Sensor Tower- one of the most renowned app intelligence platforms in the world, BitScreener iOS has had around 20K downloads in the month of May alone. The app has consistently ranked in the Top 500 - Free Apps Finance Category. Its also features in Top Grossing Apps Finance Category list. Majority of the app's audience seems to originate from the United States. According to my analysis, the app scores really well in App Store Optimization (ASO), Visibility and Internationalization standards.
With the above, the Bitscreener App really stands out as the winner in the Crypto Finance category, formally being the only "all in one crypto app" with its modernistic features. The universal app supporting both iPhone and iPad has been received very well by the crypto community and the high rating of the app in the app store is a testimony to this fact. Here's what an iPhone app user says (as seen in the app reviews section) ;
"I Love This App! This app has been indispensable in analyzing, tracking and timing the execution of my market trades. I had the app layout understood in minutes. The screening function lets me be specific and quick, the graphing system, pulldowns, and tools. Immaculate! AND THE ALERTS! Timing is everything when investing in ultra-high volatility blockchains. Because I can set alerts, get their alarms, fast check the charts and quickly set new alerts - I don’t miss the sweet spots. EVER! I upgraded to Premium long ago, if there was an Ultra Premium, I’d buy that too.
To the developers: you nailed it. You’re the financial Leatherman of the crypto market. Thank you so much for your effort."
