Title: Blockchain explorer android app
Post by: jackpf on February 27, 2014, 03:20:48 PM
Hi all,

Just finished developing the blockchain explorer app I've been working on. It also features real time transaction notifications and confirmations, something which I've not been able to find on android so I decided to develop it myself.

Feel free to check it out, I'd appreciate any feedback, criticisms, bug reports etc.

Kind regards,
Jack

You could, but you don't get saved addresses, real time notifications, conversion rates etc. on blockchain :D

Plus the app is a lot quicker and displays better on mobiles. Just sayin! :p

I gave you 5 stars and a comment just now.

I like this app :)

The only thing I dont like is this advert banner at the footer but I understand you want to earn some money for your work.

Keep developing!
Cheers

Thanks for the interest guys!

I was in two minds whether to put ads on it, but my greedy side took over, I apologise :( if it becomes popular and I receive donations I do plan on removing ads though!

You might get more donations if you will remove add before donations will come :)

but - I might be right or I can be wrong. :)

App is good! :)  In a future you should add qr scanner and BTC/more currencies :) (like BTC/PLN for me -> and take price from bitcurex.com)

:)

You might be right, maybe I'll remove ads in the next update. And yeah, a qr code scanner would be cool, I'll add it to my list!

Thanks for the kind words!

No problem!

I hope you will do more apps!

Free apps are best apps
and free apps doesn't mean poor dev :)

it just need some more time to get some cash from doing free apps ;)
but - money will come.
Respect will last forever! :)

Good luck!

"This app is compatible with all of your devices."
Which is a Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and Nexus 7. Thanks for nothing.

Some thoughts:

Put a QR code in OP  :)

Consider using bitcoinaverage.com for currency conversion.
