Title: BitCoin App in the App Store
Post by: Coineer on June 08, 2011, 04:53:47 PM
Hi All,

I am very pleased to announce the availability of the World's first free BitCoin centric app available in the AppStore:

Coineer Informer (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/coineer-informer/id440970768)

Coineer Informer from Coineer.com (http://www.coineer.com) is a free iOS app that gives you quick access to BitCoin market data and news feeds.

It is not a BitCoin client, so it does not mine or do transactions.

It will work on just about all of the iOS devices and it is completely free.

This is it's first incarnation and is essentially a dashboard for BTC market info with quick access to news feeds.
I will be adding features to the app quickly and feedback is welcome.

Thx

It's not the first but it's definitely the first free one!

Good job!

The other app got approved about a week before mine, wasn't there when I submitted mine.
Thx, edited the above to reflect that now :)

Got it!  I would like to see more, but of course for free it is great.  I would like to see real timeish prices at the bigger exchanges, block #, difficulty and blocks to difficulty change on one screen.  Another screen would be open orders at MTGOX and TRADEHILL.  I will tip if this happens.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Will be adding more live/realtime data and additional sources very soon and also optimizing performance.

Glad people are liking it so far :D

Wow, the response to this app has been fantastic (was just checking stats) and it's only been out for a couple of days.

An update with more features will be available very soon :)

Just wanted to let everyone know that while the Mt Gox API is MIA the hi, lo, and vol data for the Coineer app is temporarily unavailable. This is only temporary though, as I am reworking the feed data.

The other feeds work fine and the update is coming shortly.

Data feeds fixed :)

Working on the updated version and should be submitting it this week.

Glad you like it :)

The new version has been submitted.

Added a feed for block stats and have significantly improved the load time for the market data.

Next round of updates will include more goodies ;)

Can't seem to get this to run on my iPhone. Keeps crashing during the loading screen. Any idea what might be up?

Thank you for the feedback. :)

If it's bailing just after the starting screen it may be related to the loading of the data (server side). I've been doing some server-side tweaking and trying to make the data more reliable. If this happens, it should only be temporary but if it persists let me know. It may also go away with the update.

It could relate to the method with which the data is being loaded. This has been changed in the update, which should be available next week.

Downloaded and love it!  Very basic, but certainly nice to have available!  Also like the converter, lets me know just how futile my mining has been!! lol

I really do like it, keep up the great work!

Awesome, thank you for the compliments :D

The idea was to keep it simple but useful. That will be the plan going forward as well, while still making it even more useful ;)

Just to let everyone know, the app may not be loading properly right now. This is related to server issues that are being worked on and the software will be working properly shortly.

I will post news of an update.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi All,

Coineer Informer version 1.01 is now available in the AppStore:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/coineer-informer/id440970768

I'm still working on the Hi/Lo/Vol feed reliability but the app loads much faster now and has blocks stats.
