Title: Android widget showing the BTC price?
Post by: TheBeardedBaby on October 29, 2020, 08:23:47 AM
Hey guys, I'm looking for an app with widget showing the BTC price.
I was using Coinbase as i know the app is legit and it's a bit more safe to use. But the widget has a lot of issues almost all the time.
Now is has a loading error and i don't want it any more.
Any suggestions?

The best android app for widgets is CoinStats. Currently it is available as 'Crypto Tracker & Bitcoin Price - Coin Stats' on Play Store.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinstats.crypto.portfolio

You can customize your widget with options like displaying favorite coins, all coins, choosing price/pair from a particular exchange, design, etc. I solely use this app for widgets and so far working perfectly for me.

Ive been using a coin base before but it doesn't get more efficiently I experience having an error every time I want to reload the widget right now I'm using a bitcoin ticker
They are using different third-party too, just scan the Terms and conditions of their application.

The reason I like this widget is they are supported different exchange too and the market volume, but the cons are I cannot resize those labels for example on the image below unlike the coinbase you can fit into your android phone.

Ps. Im not promoting them I just want to share my experience with this widget.

This will entirely depend on your trust issues  :D

I use the AICoin (https://www.aicoin.cn) widget. The challenge is that its app is not as popular as the Coinbase app and the default language is Chinese, but they have been trying to translate it to English(at least most parts are if you head over to general settings and change language)

I have been using the app for over a year now as a tool to analyze markets and push notifications in case there are any sudden price changes and whale alert news but the notifications would be in Chinese language otherwise if you are using it only as widget, then everything should be fine.

App links
Google play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aicoin.phone&hl=en&gl=US (Check if it is verified by Play protect)
App store - https://itunes.apple.com/cn/app/id1449556989

You may try this apps and see if you like any of them:

1. thecrypto.app (https://thecrypto.app/)
2. Bitcoin Ticker Widget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=st.brothas.mtgoxwidget&hl=en)
3. Simple Bitcoin Widget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brentpanther.bitcoinwidget&hl=en)
4. Bitcoin Chart Widget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.esstudio.coinwidget)

I personally mostly use Coingecko and Delta app and enable notifications for price changes, but they don't have widgets I think.

Bitcoin Ticker Widget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=st.brothas.mtgoxwidget)

Using that widget for 4 years already. It was famous back when I first installed it that's why I encountered that app. It supports lots of trading platforms so users can choose the preferred exchange rates to follow.

Users can also choose to view the BTC price on their preferred fiat currency value. The widget will also automatically update the shown price once the phone reconnected to an active internet connection.

Back in the day when I was still using my Android phone, I was mostly using the investing.com app widget. While it's not the most sort of "modern" looking widget(and it's annoying as I'm a person who likes good UI), I also liked to track and observe the prices of other assets like the S&P500 and other blue chip stocks hence why I preferred it.

Coin stats and CMA have the best narrow widgets for Android but CMA data is the same as Coinstats. Currently, I use Crypto Market and Coin stats widgets which provide the best user experience for me. You can find the apps from both the Play store and Apk websites. BTW, investing.com and Bloomberg also provide real-time data for all kinds of financial markets. If you like to get the alerts with widgets, try Tradingview. Bitcoin ticker widget has the 1x1 and 2x1 size widgets if you wish to use more widgets at the single wallpaper area of the Android phone.

Try this one this is what I'm using since January.

- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zeykit.dev.cryptomarketcap&hl=en_US&gl=US

To get the widget after install you must go home and touch and hold anywhere then look for a widget and find Crypto Marketcap.

This is what it looks like on my phone.
