Bitcoin and Smartphones

[el_Tico]

What are the ways you stay in the know about bitcoin when you are away from the computer?

I have been looking for a set of tools where I can find the latest news, know the current price, and initiate a buy/sell order.

Would you have any tricks that you use when it comes to smartphones and bitcoin?

Zeroblock app.

It shows prices, a chart, price alerts, calculator, and news all in one app! You cannot buy or sell though.

I check it maybe every 30-45 minutes.

Just downloaded the app and it is sharp. I enjoy how it even brings in news from bitcoin talk.

Thanks for the suggestion

zeroblock and coinbits work good for news sections on iphone

The ZeroBlock app for Android is terrible. On iPhone it's great. Crashes every time you open it, and doesn't store the value you put in the currency converter, although they told me on Twitter they are going to update it soon.

For now, I just have a Coinbase widget on my Android home screen that displays the current CB price.

Coinbits is good for Apple devices, you can keep track of the price at different markets as well as the price for LTC and PPC to name a few
