Bitcoin Forum

Answer via 1) 2) and 3) ... Let's discuss it..

1) Are you an ANDROID OR IOS (iPHONE) user?

2) Which phone is it? (name?)

3) Which Apps do regularly you use for Bitcoins?

Reply with answers to each question above.

I'm a dedicated Android user. My first smartphone was an iPhone (which I loved), however I honestly feel like that is close to where Apple stopped innovating. Android on the other hand is constantly pushing boundaries.

My current phone is an LG Nexus 4 which I am in love with. It is an incredible phone for the price and you can't go wrong with OTA updates direct from Google.

Very interested to see what Bitcoin related apps people are using!

nexus4!!

BTW,

What are the best apps for android ?

FYI: The poll is a Q&A format. It's still a poll, as I plan to release stats of answers once we reach the first 100 responses.

Overall... pretty good answers so far! It's good to see these stats coming from Bitcoiners.


I can't say its the best, since I am directly involved with the project. 

However, I believe a huge problem was solved which was organization of resources, save time as the app does all the research for you, and having
important information at your fingertips. This means you get Notifications of new posts from Reddit.com/r/bitcoin & access to Bitcoin News Instantly.

In addition, we recently enabled a MOBILE version of BITCOINTALK.org forums

The app is published here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=220659
as a Bitcoin App for Android Users called 'Bitcoin Buzz Feeds' available for FREE on Google Play!

Yes, IOS is expected to launch shortly for this same app, under the name 'Bit Omni'

Let's keep going Bitcoiners! Answer the three questions.
1) Are you an ANDROID OR IOS (iPHONE) user?

>implying i trust google or apple

Is there another choice? I want a "smart phone", but just can't get around to trusting either Google or Apple. It sounds like they track everything you do. Was considering a Windows Phone, but it seems to have a lack of support. And I'm not sure I trust Microsoft all that well. Probably more so than Google/Apple though.

It's a hard discussion to have. I know Apple isn't trusted in my book as they seem to be giving up data more leniently than Google.  

Google recently had a dispute with the US Govt. about what type of data they publish and share with the people/govt.

I don't know the details, but they seemed to be annoyed that the Govt would push them for such data,
however, they lost the case in court, and was ordered to proceed with the demands of the GOVT.

I'd trust Google > Apple. However, its tough to say if they were held up with 'no-choices' but to reveal user data.

"Google is fighting back against National Security Letters, the secretive, controversial requests for data from the US government that bypass the court process and come with a gag order. The company has filed papers in a case called In Re Google Inc. Petition to set aside Legal Process; while the documents are sealed, Bloomberg reported on the nature of the filing. No details are currently available on the request itself, but the move is significant — Google would be the most prominent company yet to challenge an NSL."

galaxy S3

iPhone 5

Apps >> Coin Ticker, BTC Charts and Blockchain

Pretty much my same thought. If I was forced to use one or the other, I'd go with the Android. And thanks for those sources.

If the Windows Phone had more support (Teamspeak, Bitcoin, etc), I'd pick it. I was a big fan of the Zune and still have my Zune HD that I use everyday. It's far better than an iPod as far as music and fluid controls go. But it has no apps and a crappy internet browser. It's fantastic as just a music player, but lacks everywhere else. I was hoping the Windows Phone would be an improvement, but it's not getting enough attention.

So I'm torn between a phone with no support, or one that GPS tracks and filters your life. This is the only reason I do not own a smart phone.

Good responses. Keep it going!

Bump.

I won't, Windows Mobile, predecessor to windows phone, was quite well supported and they pulled the plug completely on it when WP came out. They could do the same again when they make their minds up about RT/W9, could end up with a 6 month old device that's useless... completely different to how long they have supported their desktop OS products.

1) Android
2) Nexus S with cyanogen mod 10.2
3) Only using a btc price widget

:D

I am developing one for our new coin launch called '42' ... found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=399658

1) Android

2) Galaxy Note 2

3) Just the MtGox price widget

I have the following devices:

 - Android - Nexus 4, Personal Cell Phone
 - Android - Nexus 7, Personal Tablet
 - iOS - Apple iPhone 5, work phone.

I only have a Bitcoin App installed on my Android phone, called simply "Bitcoin", but there seems to not be enough local support around here to merit me using it.  I haven't purchased Bitcoin with fiat since it was relatively new (and had to use a Moneygram to avoid using bank transfer!), so I haven't used Local Bitcoin or any such service.  Really, it's only been on my phone as a means to quickly check exchange rates to Fiat.  I don't even have funds in that wallet.

Apple iphone 5s! Blockchain and Coin Tracker, both excellent apps!!

Android samsung galaxy note 3

1. Android. Always.

3. None.


Most android phones/tablets feel like little personal computers. IMO IOS locks the user up too much, unable to customize to the awesome extent android allows. Though, IOS is nothing like the garbage windows phones lol.

Had an iPhone since 2007, bought a Nexus 5 a week ago and love it.

2) Which phone is it? (name?)

See above. Nexus 5.

3) Which Apps do regularly you use for Bitcoins?

I use Blockchain.info for a wallet, and a Coinbase widget to check prices. Also have ZeroBlock.

1) Android

2) Galaxy S3 LTE

3) Litecoin Widget to check prices, most exchanges are listed and it also supports bitcoin and some altcoins

both! nexus and iphone 4

Keep going!!!

1) Android

2) LG Optimus 3D

3) Bitcoin wallet and Bitcoin widget

Why isn't there an actual poll, plus encouragement to comment? Need a visual here.

Anyway:

1) Are you an ANDROID OR IOS (iPHONE) user?  I'm an iPhone user.

2) Which phone is it? (name?) iPhone 5 on iOS 7.0.4

3) Which Apps do regularly you use for Bitcoins? Blockchain, ZeroBlock, Calculator, Bitcoin Ticker, CCTicker, Bitcoin Alerts, Coin Ticker, Coin Report, BTCM, Coined, Coinbits, iBitcoin, Scanbook (to name a few).
