Check my new BTC-e client for Android

[weneedmorespace]

Hi community,

Drop of olive oil to everybody! I've made a simple and lightweight client for BTC-e exchange, you can find it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.QuarkLabs.BTCEAndroid

I'll be more than happy if you try it and give your feedback since it's my 1st app for Android (>= 4.0) (what is done well, what's done bad, what you would like to add, etc.). I promise all the bugs will be fixed shortly.

P.S. One more thing: I know, that everybody has its own opinion regarding BTC-e (good or bad), but please, there is no need to discuss this exchange at this topic, just think that it's an app for "one of Bitcoin exchanges".

Thanks!

0 posts, unregulated play store, seems legit to me!

I'll go ahead: no, it cannot steal your money =) Because API keys on BTC-e have no withdrawal functionality. And this app doesn't require login\password from your account, just API keys (for a part of app functionality, not mandatory). Maybe I'll push the sources on GitHub later, but first of all I should make code to look beautiful, now it "just works".

You might not be able to steal my money, you are able to infect my phone.

hehe
you know - all of us have to start one day

but it is quite risky I must say

Well, it's impossible to make that with only Internet permission (my app requires only it). To make any harmful actions app should have more permissions (such as read-write external storage, read contacts, etc.). So one should check every app permissions before installing it (it will be more than strange if a simple reader asks for an access to your contacts, right?). Anyway, posting to bitcointalk is a free and effective (I think) way to promote the app - that's why I made this post.

Im going to check it out. Everyones skeptical and they have a right to be, though they should not be so quick to refute. But next time you release something, know we like to know everything about the software under the hood. So in other words be prepared for these type of comments and have an answer in your original introduction of the app/software. We do not want to make such a stupid mistake by downloading an app on my phone that can steal my BTC. I have no BTC on my phone your app only requires network access and i trust Api keys. So thank you for your contribution to the community!

Yep, I understand these concerns, also because I've used 3rd part clients too, and I'm ready to answer any questions regrading my app.

Update: v. 1.0.1 released - price widgets added + bugfixes

Give this guy a chance, he wasted time to build a software and that is all what you people had to say (you will steal our money!)

if you don't trust this guy then simply and 'silently' don't use his software. and if you used it and lost your money then and only then you have the right to speak. otherwise be helpful and test the app for that guy as he was helpful and built it for u!

[weneedmorespace]

As for now, app has >100 installs and nobody claimed it's stealing money (once again - it's not possible with API keys) or harming the phone somehow. I would like to say, that v.1.1 is released: re-design, Orders Book added + Market Depth chart. With that version I have nothing else in my TO-DO list (unless I receive any users feature requests) and will concentrate on improving existing features and prepare to upload the code on GitHub (I think it will be done in a month or so).

The stupid thing has happened: I accidentally lost a key for signing APK file. And since per Play Market policy the same key should be used for signing all application APKs, I can't update my app. So I had to unpublish the old  one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.QuarkLabs.BTCEAndroid, and publish the new one under the different name https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.QuarkLabs.BTCeClient.

So please uninstall old version and install the new. Sorry for the inconvenience. But there are good news: I've added new pairs, fixed some bugs and code is almost re-factored for uploading to GitHub.

[weneedmorespace]

New version 1.2 released: new icon + bugfixes, it can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.QuarkLabs.BTCeClient. Also I've uploaded its source code at the GitHub: https://github.com/0xnm/BTC-e-client-for-Android
And as little bonus, I've made a simple BTC-e client on JavaFX: https://github.com/0xnm/BTC-e-client-for-JavaFX
You can use both of them safely.

Please note, that this app is not using login\pass, but API keys instead, because this scheme provides better security for the end-user.
