I bought my first Bitcoin and Ethereum. Like many of you know, cryptocurrency is traded 24/7/365. So the first thing I did was go to the App Store and look for some great quote and news apps so I can stay connected to what is happening in the markets.
What I found was disappointing. There weren’t many apps and the ones I did find were terribly designed, didn’t cover all the exchanges, didn’t plot out trend lines clearly, didn’t have news, and weren’t realtime. If you are doing anything with cryptocurrency, having this at your finger tips is a must.
So I began to write a simple, yet stylish, app that would just tell me the quote of currencies I had invested in. I hope you like it. If you have feedback or questions, let me know!
(The order of the buttons is shown to be "1M 1H 1D", but they are actually "1H 1D 1M". You can even see this in the screenshot on the website: 1M is selected, but clearly that is one hour worth of information.) (edit: It just occurred to me that maybe it is trying to say "break down the information into minutes, hours, and days" instead of "show me information for an hour, a day, or a month"... that's confusing.)
There is a portfolio feature coming that will show gain loss and it will work across multiple currency pairs as well. So for example, you can buy XMR <> BTC, or ETH <> USD and it will do all the math and figure out the gain loss in the fiat of your choice. We are working on it.

I'll definitely try this app, I've built my own super-simple dashboard [1] for the same reason, with data pulled from kraken.

1. The data is delayed or it is pulling from one exchange.
2. The graph on stocks isn't too great.
3. Not all the coins are covered.
4. The news, it turns out, doesn't work too well for crypto. There is a huge community factor:
- There are publications.
- There are developers
- There are government developments.
So to capture all that, you need a richer set of sources to filter through.
The way it works today:
1M will show you 60 data points with 1 minute precision.
1H will show you 60 data points with 1 hour precision.
1D will show you 50 data points with 1 day precision.
But happy to hear feedback on the time chooser.
edit: downloaded, opened, tapped eth, scrolled down to see news and the app crashes. uninstalled. to the dev: it was on iOS.
on iOS 11.0.1
There is a open source project here:

but I had to fix a ton of issues to get it to work with multiple currencies at the same time.
