Which Block Explorer do you use ?

[RocketSingh]

For mobile I prefer https://insight.bitpay.com/ which renders great.

Give Blocktrail.com and Biteasy.com a try. Both are good but I like Blocktrail more because of the UI and it's features. You may also like https://goocha.com, not an explorer but a helpful search toll.

I was trying https://goocha.com. It is saying...

Code:

Your connection is not private

Attackers might be trying to steal your information from goocha.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).

Did you mean goocha.com MZ? or goochain.net?

[Gisado]

I prefet blocktrail.com and insight.bitpay.com - both are better than bc.info.

[Muhammed Zakir]

I hadn't tried Blocktrail.com on the mobile, I just did now. And I've tried Biteasy.
Still my favorite for mobile is insight. I like how it renders everything and I find the QR Code scanning feature extremely useful.

Blocktrail.com supports Qr Code scanning.

Oops, sorry! They are trying to sell that domain. Other domain: http://goocha.in

I use blockchain.info but I like to use blockr.io sometimes too

I always use blockchain.info but just noticed blockr.io which I have never heard of before. Will give it a try.

The only thing I don't like about blockchain.info is that it very often suffers from not updating blocks correctly.

I use blockchain.info and i can't believe how slow i have been finding others lol there are loads and i never even knew probably because i never needed to but it is good knowing they are there if i need them. Cheers for the list op i will be sure to try some out see if any feel right

Is there any native block explorer for Android?
I mean one really written in Java for Android, not just a webview for a web explorer.
That would be cool.

[heskey]

I've always used blockchain.info

You maybe looking for https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jackpf.blockchainsearch&hl=en.

[Philipd]

mostly I use only blockchain.info I get all the info there

[FinanceUS]

I use blockchain.info too. It seems to be quite common to use it here.

[Jombrangs]

I personally use blockchain.info, AFAIK is the only one that has auto-updates without refreshing the page

[Chemistry1988]

Blocktrail mainly. It looks the best and is always up when I need it (unlike bc.i).
Also, I use blockr sometimes to cross-test the data I got.

[TrailingComet]

I check using blockchain and blockexplorer

[Bitcoinexp]

Blockchain.info
It's the most convenient since I also use their wallet service. Interface looks clean too. On a side-note, it has my 2 favourite colours, blue and white.

[Sindelar1938]

I check pretty much only blockchain.info which is where I have a wallet. That keeps it nice and simple for me.

Thanks MZ. I checked it but didn't like it to be honest. It doesn't give more information than insight and has an UI that looks like a website.
I'm not sure if it'd be worth developing a fully featured native explorer for Android.

When you check an address balance or a transaction status online, which block explorer do you use ? If you run a service depending on a third party API, which block explorer's API you rely upon ?

Update: I'm listing out the outcome of this thread here...

1. https://blockchain.info/

2. https://blockr.io/

3. https://blockexplorer.com/

4. https://www.biteasy.com/

5. https://chain.so/btc

6. https://helloblock.io/

7. http://bitcoinchain.com/block_explorer

8. https://bkchain.org/btc

9. http://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/

10. http://www.blocktrail.com

11. http://explorer.chain.com/

A few more (they all seem to work well):

-BlockCypher: https://live.blockcypher.com/

-BitPay: https://insight.bitpay.com/

-blockinfo: http://blockinfo.org/

-Coinprism: https://www.coinprism.info/


Some comments on the ones that are currently listed (did some testing):

3. Blockexplorer: Clunky, slow, unreliable. It often fails to display updated transactions, sometimes it won't even be able to load an address at all. I respect that they were pretty much the first block explorer (or the first?), but there are much better alternatives out there.

That's it, enjoy! I'd love to hear some feedback about my list as well if anyone has any.

I think https://blockchain.info/ has become the premier one.  It just works.   They have also turned it into a heck of a company.  I heard them talk at a conference and was impressed with them.
