BitScreener is among the best when it comes to real time tracking of cryptocurrencies, crowdsourced financial news, and trading solutions. BitScreener app went life in 2017 with the iOS app and since then it has seen tremendous interest from crypto enthusiasts. They are over 1.2 million users of BitScreener. BitScreener aims to introduce the blockchain technology into the already existing ecosystem and offer users a transparent, secure and real time crypto and stock tracking, a huge database of crowdsourced data, content information and a reward system through the BITX token. BitScreener is currently available for desktop, iOSand Android users. I will be doing an extensive review of the BitScreener android app.
BitScreener Android App
The BitScreener android app is known as Crypto Tracker by BitScreener on Playstore, at at the time of writing this it was last updated on the 13th of June, 2018 and it’s current version is 2.0.5. The android app is free to use and has been downloaded over 5000 times. The
app primarily enables users to find cryptocurrencies, track their favourite coins, set alerts, organise their portfolio, charts, a huge database of crowdsourced news among other features.
App Features
One thing worth of note about this app is it’s support for over 5500 trading pairs of cryptos and live feed from over 100 crypto exchanges, other apps I have used the most they offered was about 500 crypto coins and 24 crypto exchanges. The BitScreener android app takes this to a whole new level. Navigating through the different tabs on the app is very easy and hitch free. The app consists of 5 tabs;
- Watchlist: this is where your favourite coins are displayed with their current price, global average, percentage change in the last 24 hours. You can as well add as many coins as you wish, rearrange the coins to suite your preference and delete any coin you no longer wish to be displayed. Another tool on this page is the Saved Screeners. I can tell you that that if you want to be a serious trader this is one tool you will be using very often. It filters coins according to a lot of criteria, like market cap, gainers and losers in the last 24h, age of coin, type of coin etc. So is you are looking for a particular criteria for that your next coin you will surely find it from here.
- Portfolio; this tab displays all the coins in your portfolio from over 80 crypto exchanges. This tool is very useful as a trader, it will help you to track your profits and losses. This tool helps you to keep track of your portfolio. It does all the mathematics for you, you don’t have to calculate how much profit or loss you have incurred since the time you bought a coin, BitScreener will do this for you. The charts are also very useful, it’s gives you a technical representation of the coin performance over a period of time although it’s still lacking some of the advanced tools in the iOS app.
- Alerts tab: as a trader the alert is very useful incase you wish to track the price of a coin at a particular timeframe or you wish to be alerted when the coin has reached a certain price. With the price recurring alert you can can set an alert for a range of intervals, I like the price limit alerts very much. If I wish to monitor a coin after it has reached a particular price I can set the alert at that price once it reaches that price I will instantly be alerted.
- Another important tool is the News tab, it contains news crowdsourced crypto currency from different websites all over the world all in one place. You don’t have to be visiting different websites to read cryptocurrency news.
- More tab: this tab enables users to backup and restore their data, change language. They also integrated shortcut of external links to frequently asked questions, bugs and feature request, app rating, privacy policy and terms, link to the official telegram channel, official Twitter link, Facebook, link to the desktop platform, sharing of the app and the roadmap.
Summary
In my quest for the best crypto currency tracking and analytical app, I have used a few but I will have to tell you that once I discovered the BitScreener app I was very happy with it. It is a shame it took many months for the app to be available for Android users whereas the iOS app has been there since but as the saying goes “better late than never”.
Unarguably the app is indeed feature packed but they are areas also they can work on to make the app even better. It is a shame to see the disparity between the iOS app and the android app. Saying the iOS app is light years ahead of the android counterpart won’t be to much exaggeration. I will like to see a reasonable progress made with the android app in terms of adding features already in the iOS app that is lacking.
Currently rated 4.7 out of a possible 5.0 by users even with the few features lacking, this goes to show how useful users have found the to be. I highly recommend this app if you are a crypto trader and I rate it a 4.8 out of 5.0
