CoinCap Reviews

by Fish Whispers

Visibly pleasing user interface however bring back the old “add to altfolio” settings so i can add coins at whatever price usd and number i want... even if its inaccurate for current trade orders..ditch the flashing red and green trade by trade tickets that probably cause the site to clog and allow more chart viewing customizations. Also, allow users to customize settings to show the average ticker and candles for all coins at whatever time (minutes/hours/days) interval they want. Could help with glitchiness on my end to be able to go to a 1 min avg ticker update interval

I am in complete shock. This is very unethical. this app has decided to list what they feel is “correct” for market capitalization. Example: Ripples XRP shows a total market cap of 16 Billion. BTC shows 80 Billion. On Yahoo finance, they too show BTC as 80 Billion. However, XRP shows as 40 Billion market cap on Yahoo finance and everywhere else, but on this app it only shows 16 Billion. Why is that. They give some lame excuse why. Real reason... market manipulation. Very convenient you can donate BTC, BTC CASH, ETH, but no XRP...? Now why wouldn’t they want any donations from the number 2 cryptocurrency in the world? I’d love to hear how they respond to this.

I absolutely love CoinCap. It is the very best way to keep track of the alt coin markets. I would give a five star rating except for the following issue. In September 2018 I traded my iPhone 7 for the 256gb iPhone XS Max and the this app app has not worked since. I reported this in a review in early October and was told they are working on a fix. So 4 and a half months later it is still not fixed. CoinCap doesn’t open. It crashes before it get all the way open. I have the latest iOS installed and all my apps are up to date. Please please fix CoinCap to run on this model phone. Thanks. Update March 19, 2019: After six months the programmers at this app still cannot figure out how to make CoinCap work on the iPhone XS Max. Attention programming managers and directors: You need to hire some new people that can fix this problem.

I have been using CoinCap without issues for a long time. I use it a lot to keep track of my portfolio and track what I purchased my cryptos at. It was my number one way to track my portfolio but sadly today with a swipe of a thumb I deleted a part of my portfolio. No alert, no warning just a swipe of my thumb and I deleted half my portfolio. Not once but twice. How can you make an app like this with no alert? No necessary confirmation to make sure that is what you intended? An accidental swipe on the phone deleted half my portfolio. No way to retrieve what I just deleted. At least from what I can see. Now I must take the time and investigate my point of entry all over again. If you’re a long time holder, CoinCap will be there to make sure you throw your phone across the room when you make a bad gesture with your thumbs. Horrible horrible experience.

Had to change my review because I have learned how they count Ripples escrowed xrp against the circulating supply. All things being fair than the Tulip escrow fund of 1.1 million bitcoin should not be counted along with the other escrowed bitcoin out there. Also can’t get passed the 4 million bitcoin that have had their private keys lost never to be retrieved ever again. Another 2 million bitcoin have been stolen. There is not 17.4 million bitcoin circulating on the open market. Also found out about taking the Korean exchanges out last year during the bull run to drop xrp’s price. If that’s not manipulation, I don’t know what is. Since you only accept donations in all the variations of bitcoin. It looks like you have a vested interest in their success when you should be agnostic.

I really like CoinCap when it works. Adding/subtracting amounts to my portfolio is really convenient, and I like that I can have up to 3 portfolios (I use it for different wallets of varying tokens). More than 3 would be even better.
I appreciate the real-time prices a lot too.
The main problem is that now CoinCap isn’t loading at all, just shuts down when I start it. In general the startup has been slow too. (Both iOS, iPhone 5 & iPhone 7)
If this became a paid app to support the developers I would definitely pay for it.

I’ve been using CoinCap for years and have been recommending it to any of my iPhone friends. However starting yesterday, whenever I click on CoinCap , it starts with the Coinmarketcap title screen, but then immediately crashes. I asked others and said that it does the same for them, making CoinCap useless. Please get this bug get fixed (hope they do it soon) as this is the best crypto tracking app ever and would like to continue using it. Thanks and God Bless!

I had downloaded an update that prevented use of CoinCap , but now that things are back to normal, it’s working good again. I do seem to have issues with price high/low notifications not occurring, despite all settings checked/tried. Makes trading considerations a manual job. Additionally, it would be nice to be able to remove gain % from purchases made, if that makes sense. For instance, one of my altfolios shows significant gains during periods I purchased coins, but the gains are not directly related to the price of the coins over time, the percentage is higher because I added in, not because the market caused the gains. I would like to see overall market gain/loss % for an altfolio, not just altfolio balance change %. Once those work, it’ll be a 5-star app, for sure.

CoinCap provides up to date pricing information for virtually all cryptocurrencies in existence, and the personal portfolio functional is very helpful for keeping tabs on what you own.

However, since the update in late May 2019, the information provided on CoinCap is much less specific in areas that require a high degree of specificity. It coarsely rounds the market cap value of an individual coin... for example: TRX has a market cap of $2,456,408,268, but Coin Cap will show it as $2billion. That’s an approximate 19% difference, which is huge!

It also rounds the amount of coins any given cryptocurrency has in circulation. For example: TRX has an available supply of 66,682,072,191 coins, and the Coin Cap app rounds it to 67,000,000,000. Again, this rounding is much too liberal! There are a few more issues with the latest update, but I’ll leave it at this.

I urge Coin Cap to put a greater emphasis on accuracy and update CoinCap to correct this issue.

Overall the updated version is not bad. However there is no option in the settings for FaceID/TouchID. Also, if you choose option to Hide balances and then while checking your altfolio choose not to hide by clicking on the eye icon and then scroll down through your coins it will hide again automatically when start scrolling. Quite annoying to un-hide it again and again if you already deliberately open it once. I would expect it to show balances until you either exit this particular altfolio or switch it back to hide. The previous version behaved like that. Hope this will be fixed in the next update. Thanks

Overall a good crypto tracking app. One item they could revise, would be the ability to delete assets from the watchlist. Now that I’ve started using CoinCap , I went a little crazy and added too many assets to the watchlist. Now that I’ve decided which ones to actually track, I cannot reduce the now overburdened watchlist.

It’s a app that gives you a quick view of the current coin prices and allows you to create 3 different portfolios. Only issues I have so far, is their graphs aren’t always accurate. It’ll show a gradual increase or decline in the coin price for the whole graph in the window, except for the current price at the far right edge it will show a massive spike or dip even if it’s just a small amount different from hours before.

I often use CoinCap at night & love the dark mode which is awesome. However, whether you have it set to dark mode or not, whenever you initially open CoinCap it displays a blinding white screen with the this app logo on it. Would you please design a dark mode version of the loading screen? Do that & I’ll change my rating to 5 stars.

CoinCap supports a ton of different coins, and the altfolios feature is super helpful!

My only ask to the dev is to disable vertical scrolling when scrubbing left and right through a coin’s graph. It makes it a little hard to see detail in the graph because even the slightest scroll down turns off the scrubbing feature.

For the most part I love CoinCap. The only thing that's becoming a problem is when trying to enter CoinCap the loading of newest data bubble will pop up and act as if it's loading and then will just continue to load but never actually launching me into CoinCap . Besides this problem I have no complaints of CoinCap .

by GranTrevino

App is amazing, love the live updates, and the Altfolio is very user-friendly. However! The Coin Price alert has not worked at all for me. The coin price has gone past my alert level with no notification multiple times now, it hasn’t worked once (my notifications are all turned on). If not for this I would give CoinCap 5-stars.

by Criterion12

Covers the basics. Very thankful somebody is doing this.
BUT Can definitely be refined. It would be nice to get all the information on one app but for now I just use multiple apps.
Would definitely be willing to pay serious dollars for an app that can cover all the basic needs.

I’ve recently hopped on the crypto bandwagon. It’s been about two months now, and overall, it’s been a hectic ride. There’s a unique emotional thrill that comes with watching your coin assets fluctuate throughout the weeks. A feeling I’ve been lucky to experience a handful amount of times.

CoinCap, this app, adds the cherry on top.

No other app on the market offers such a clean and simple UI to describe the chaotic nature of cryptocurrencies. this app allows the user to quickly add/remove/edit (from a wide range of various coins/tokens!) your exchanged assets into a personal “altfolio.” This live-fed mechanism allows you to keep track of your asset values second-to-second.

Lastly, you’ll have the ability to set alarms of various kinds for any coin you wish. This allows the frequent traders to be notified when to buy/sell/exchange to achieve your highest profit.

CoinCap was exactly what I was looking for, and I’m very glad I found it.

5 stars, two thumbs up, 10/10.

CoinCap is stunningly beautiful and has alot of features. i have been using cryptopro and I'm really not sure which is better. This one gets the edge for looks though. i love the grey theme! The indicators are really cool too 😊 All-in-all i would pay money for CoinCap. you really aught to have a widget in the ios side menu though.

by Tayloruae

This is by far the best crypto portfolio out there. However I have some improvements that could make it even more amazing. Firstly I think the alert system UI can be improved. It’s kind of a confusing layout. Also I would LOVE if you implicated 3D Touch so I could see my altfolio price quick any easy without having to wait for it to load. Other then this it’s flawless

Like many others, I updated CoinCap not knowing that I’d lose all my account information. Hopefully there is some sort of recovery plan in progress, but seeing as how some of the similar reviews were from a year ago, this seems questionable. Hopefully I didn’t permanently lose everything related to my accounts!

**update**
I’ve been going back and forth with customer support for two weeks now after being asked to “allow 24-48hrs for recovery support”. Still no news regarding all of my lost information. They just keep responding with short answers saying they are looking into it. It’s a real bummer.
