Tools for Investors and Traders:
Best Crypto App for iOS and Android

The app was released in 2015, a couple of years before the massive «hype» on the crypto market. Initially, it was called the Coin Market App. The number of downloads of the Android version exceeds 500,000, and the number of reviews is also considerable — more than 23,000. Rating for Android is 4.5, and for iOs is 4.8. It should also be noted that the difference in functionality between the two platforms is significant, but first things first.

In addition to the basic features mentioned, CMA tries to diversify the perception of the crypto market. So, there are such features as Graveyard (information about «dead» cryptocurrencies), Heroes / Zeroes (a selection of coins which demonstrate the most significant rise / fall, where the period can be adjusted).

It is worth noting widgets which can be configured and displayed on the main screen of the smartphone. Thus, users can monitor the parameters that are important for the trader without having to open the app every 10-15 minutes. The function is available only for Android users.

It is considered to be a well-known application. However, the most useful features are available only in the paid version. The app has over 500,000 installations and nearly 15,000 reviews on the Play Market, with a rating of 4.5. On the App Store, the rating is 4.8. Delta has a well-developed functionality for working with portfolios. However, when reading the latest reviews on the markets, it becomes noticeable that many users are unsatisfied with the latest redesign of the interface, which made the usability of the app more complicated.

As mentioned before, the most useful portfolio features are available only for a fee. It all concerns the integration with exchanges or wallets, analytics, as well as synchronization with different devices. The payment for access to the PRO version is available in two options, a monthly or yearly subscription. Users can test the PRO version in a 7-day trial.

The news section is quite simple; the feeds are divided into three categories: «All news», «Popular», as well as the news of the coins that the user has in the portfolio. It is a convenient solution: each news is tagged with the coin referred to in the text.

The name of the application reflects the essence of the content, but that’s not all it can offer. Crypto News has been on the market for a long time, and is constantly updated. Recently, the application has been upgraded, becoming a more functional tool for the cryptocurrency holders.

It should be noted that Crypto News has the widest functionality to set up the information field: users can create personal news feeds by source, track the rates of only the coins of interest, and at the same time track the data on specific exchanges.

Speaking about newsfeed: it is the most detailed screen. There are many sources, articles and news on one topic which are collected in one box, there is also a popularity index. It could have been perfect if the news was tagged with a coin, as in Delta, but perhaps this feature will be implemented by developers in the upcoming updates. So far, users can separately track BTC and ETH only. It is noteworthy that there are sections for video and for Twitter posts.

The portfolio is quite simple, and more than five coins can be added only in the PRO version. Alas, the wallet connection function is not provided yet. In general, it is a good solution for holders of a limited number of coins, those who are not active daily traders. Alert settings are quite diverse, and will help in controlling the portfolio.

«The #1 crypto tool worldwide» — this is the way the application positions itself on the website. But is it really? 500,000 downloads of the Android version and 35,000+ reviews on the Play Market look solid, but there are only 49 reviews on the App Store. A somewhat strange gap. The iOs version is rated positively (4.9), but the latest reviews on the Play Market are full of complaints about troubleshooting and delays in crypto rates.

The application is good in terms of design, convenience and options for crypto market monitoring, but one of the key details is missing: portfolio. Alas, but this absence significantly diminishes the chances of The Crypto App to be recognized as «the #1 tool» for crypto enthusiasts.

The summary of market statistics is very convenient, users can choose from an extensive list of fiat currencies to convert and monitor. The list shows the current price, changes in % and real equivalent, as well as the capitalization and turnover of each coin. Amidst charts and prices in the detailed cryptocurrency screen, users can open tabs with data for each exchange where the coin is traded, as well as monitor a feed of the latest news about the coin. Users can configure alerts for each coin and add it to the list of favorites.

News and Twitter are separated and presented as the simplest feed. However, it is noteworthy that the news in the feed is provided in six languages, but sorting by category is available only on Android.

The application’s website claims that more than 500,000 users downloaded it, but the Play Market records 100,000. Perhaps, the developers totalled the numbers with the iOs version. The Android rating is 4.6, and the iOs version got 4.7, based on a vast number of almost 39,500 reviews.

In general, the application is relevant to all the parameters: portfolio management is convenient, users can quickly switch to cryptocurrency market monitoring. A specific cryptocurrency card is very detailed, with many useful actions, including adding a transaction to the portfolio or making a purchase from a partner of the app. Also, users can configure alerts right there.

Speaking of alerts, they can be variously customized, but some parameters are available only for the PRO version. Alas, but the trial period is available for only three days, which slightly overshadows the impression. The PRO version costs $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Additionally, it unlocks several useful functions for maintaining a portfolio, also disabling advertising.

The news feed in Coin Stats is quite original and is segmented according to such criteria as «Handpicked», «Trending», «Latest», as well as «Bullish / Bearish» news. Users can vote for the news, which adds a bit of interactivity. Also, the feed can be conveniently customized, leaving only those sources that users consider important.

Perhaps we could have excluded the Crypto Pro app from the list since this application does not support Android yet. However, the quality of its development and adaptability for various Apple devices are executed remarkably — so we hope that the version of the app for the Play Market will be of such high quality as well. So far, the app has about 1,000 reviews on the App Store, with an overall rating of 4.7.

It is worth noting that Crypto Pro has a very rich functionality when it comes to portfolio management and coin tracking. Users can create and manage several portfolios with customizable alerts. The separate coin screen contains the standard data with charts and trading data for the selected period. Users can instantly read the news related to the specific coin. An interesting feature is the submenu where users can use the calculator, set up alerts, add a coin to the portfolio, create an address book or set up Siri.

Cryptocurrencies can be viewed both in the general list and in the special section «Favorites». Crypto Pro has a large database regarding exchanges: users can monitor the trading of a particular pair on a particular exchange.

Still, the news feed currently is a little disappointing: it allows only two news modes, «Popular» and «Latest». A selection of news sources also leaves much to be desired. The availability to customize feed is limited: users can only choose a coin for a list of publications relevant to it.

The application comes from that very global ranking system. For obvious reasons, it puts emphasis on the main product — data from the cryptocurrency market. However, the app’s ratings are not so good: 4.2 on the Play Market, 4.7 points on the App Store. The complaints largely concern the portfolio function. Apparently, “Portfolio” was added to the application as an additional option, and, for now, it is rather primitive and this could be the reason for negative feedback.

Unlike most competitors, CoinMarketCap offers users to register, and this feature can scare away a certain category of crypto enthusiasts who prefer to keep anonymity on every level possible. Obviously, the main screen is dedicated to the rating of coins and exchanges, which are divided by tabs. All data that is present and configured on the original website, is in the application, respectively. And yes — ads are a bit annoying.

As for the news, the CMC has the «Discover» tab, which also is divided into such screens as «Latest news», «Blog», as well as top gainers/losers and information about recently added coins. The news is slightly unusual: first, those that are trending are displayed, followed by news about coins that are relevant to the contents of the user's portfolio. Unfortunately, a choice of news sources that can be configured is not so vivid.

Investing.com, the popular web source, could not pass by the crypto industry, and launched a special application. It was downloaded over 500,000 times on the Play Market, with an aggregate rating of 4.5. The same rating comes on the AppStore.

The first thing that catches an eye after downloading «Investing Crypto» is the real-time updates of crypto rates, and this is probably the key advantage of the app. It is a unique feature, provided that the vast majority of sites, apps, and widgets use the CoinMarketCap service. The list of cryptocurrencies is provided with options for filtering, sorting and searching.

In a separate coin card, the functionality is quite diverse. There is general information with the option for detailing; tabs with prices on exchanges; technical analysis and coin news. An important interactive feature is the ability to vote for trends and leave comments.

Still, the news feed is primitive: it is not possible to configure it, and only simple search is implemented.

The portfolio, in turn, has its advantages: users can create several portfolios, as well as add coin purchases on specific exchanges to a given time range, which is incredibly convenient. Users can set up alerts for each position in the portfolio or coin of interest with a very wide range of options.

The additional functions come with a separate screen for a currency converter, an ICO calendar (which many applications have dismissed), a tab with cryptocurrency pairs, as well as an Analysis and Opinion feeds where users can read expert publications on the relevant topics.

The price for such generous functionality is simple: authorization and overloading volumes of advertising. Often it is simply impossible to use the app, since users accidentally tap a banner. At the same time, there is no paid subscription that turns off such an advertising bacchanalia. In addition, after registration, users get overwhelmed by calls from telemarketers. All this overshadows the overall positive impression of using Investing Crypto.
