9 Mobile Apps for Cryptocurrency Traders

There are hundreds of cryptocurrency apps that you can run on Android or iOS and other operating systems and they offer various benefits. The type of application to install depends on your trading and crypto monitoring needs.

Some allow just real-time monitoring of cryptocurrency prices, others allow real-time monitoring and trading, and yet others allow management of data and information including trading information for purposes of identifying future trends and price movements.

Many applications not only allow you to trade Bitcoin and altcoins, but also offer charts, analysis (technical indicators), and news feeds from various sources to track community and public sentiments. Many also offer price alerts and you can set up notifications to know when to sell or buy once the price reaches a certain level.
