Bitcoin Forum

After a month in development and another month getting it past Apple, my block chain explorer app is now available.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blockchain-explorer/id953958125?ls=1&mt=8 (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blockchain-explorer/id953958125?ls=1&mt=8)

You can search for blocks, addresses and transactions and then see where the Btc came from/went.  Then you can save them, email them, tweet them whatever.  The various bits of data are also colour coordinated for ease of use.

Have a look and let us know if you find any issues with it.

Did I mention IT IS FREE?

Is it that hard to add it to iTunes ?
Anyway , thank you for your hard work , good job . Do you know if there will be any Android version available anytime soon ?

It seems to be a good App, will check it out.
Thanks for sharing. Good luck!

Interesting, I will try it on my iphone and write here in the thread if I will find bug (maybe improve the "design"). Thanks.

There was an on one of the screens and whoever was reviewing it could not see the ad.  ?!?!?!?  they rejected it twice and in the end i stuck one on the main screen as well.  I guess they saw that as they passed it.  Sorry, no android version.

Version 1.1 may have a QR reader possible the balances on the saved address screen.

No problem for the Android version .
If you don't mind my question on what programming language this app has been made in ?

~ Madness

It has been a year or two since I have written an app, so this uses the new Swift programming language and makes use of some of the latest Apple programming features.

It also gets its data from the BlockTrail.Com API, as that seemed the best API that I could find.

There are some bug, I've made a little video :

Yes of course , you should add the "width=NumberOfPixel  & also "height=x--" (if you want a perfect resize). For example :



it will be :

Thanks for that.  Thought I had fixed that already.  Will be done in the next update.

No problem you are welcome, check also the "support page" the links aren't clickable.  However great work !

Strange.  They work on iOS8 but not on iOS7.

New version submitted to Apple yesterday.

Nice project you have. Does your app save the transactions and balance on local database, and these info are viewable offline? What I need is an app to store my address history and I can check them when I have no internet.

Sorry, No.  It is all on-line.  I can look at doing that some how though.

Version 1.1 is with Apple and fixes most of the big bugs.  However it is being reviewed by an idiot so there is a bit of discussion going on.

Fantastic, when it will be approved I will test is for sure. You have made a good work it the first version (only those few bugs, but nothing of important).

Version 1.1 should be out now.

Thanks for the explorer! I will try this soon!

Can you make it offline like PolarPoint asked? It would be helpful and also does this show scripts and other technical informations? Thank you!

Yes, it does show scripts though i probably need to make that cell a bit bigger.  If you go to a transaction and then look at the outputs for that transaction. 

I can look at storing the data off-line.  Would you want just an address and its transactions?  And the source/destination addresses?

If you have downloaded it and like it, could you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give it a good review on the app store. 

Thank you!


Whole data of that page - address, transaction or even block.


Will do! Don't worry. Want to out a five-star review, so waiting for a few more features. ;)

New version coming with a few minor bug fixes.

thanks for updating your nice app.

New version coming with QR reader for scanning addresses, etc.  You can also change the order of the stored addresses.

Why does it take a lot of time to view details? I tried getting all the transactions of an address using bitWallet and it was very faster. Can you optimize the spead please? I may have missed but how are you fetching details?

We get the data from a website called BlockTrail, so most of the delay is waiting for the data to come form them.  There is not much we can do about that.

Might try and add the total amount at each address to the addresses screen and possibly the number of transactions since you last looked at it.

Just to say there is a new version coming soon.
