CoinMarketCap: Crypto Tracker Reviews

by Kks1030

A few versions ago, you were able to see your gains for different periods of time (1 day, 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, etc). It would calculate how much profit or loss you had accumulated over that time.

Now, you cannot see any of those calculations other than 24 hour profit or loss. When you switch views to the 7 day chart or 30 day chart, the profit or loss only shows you the 24 hour value. It’s absolutely maddening. Even the list of coins, there percent of appreciation/depreciation of stuck on the 24 hour value, so I can’t see how much Bitcoin or eth have appreciated over a week or a month, only 24 hours.

I reached out to the company and they said this was by design. What?!? Really?! In my opinion they took away one of the most useful aspects of CoinMarketCap. I am now looking for a replacement app as I have waited through 3 or 4 updates for them to bring it back and they haven’t.

The executive team at CMC is undermining parts of what the essence of cryptocurrency and related projects are about at their core. - I posted criticism of the World Economic Forum, and it’s founder, two times on a chat thread… and I’ve now been permanently banned from using the chat feature. ***To put this in perspective, I posted the same exact critique well over 10 times on Twitter, and Twitter (very pro-censorship) didn’t take it down or warn me. It’s disgusting, nauseating, and beyond concerning that CMC is in bed with big-tech and other corrupt special interests. This is NOT what crypto stands for, and I am passionately organizing a campaign in the various crypto communities that I’m active in, and we will make it known that CMC has been corrupted. Lastly, I’ve switched to Coinstats, and encourage others to do the same.

I don’t recommend using the portfolio section of CMC. While the site/app is a great resource for crypto info, the portfolio section has been getting worse. Constantly dealing with bugs and issues. Been using for months and keep having problems. Assets just disappearing off the list-with months and hours of entries gone, entries not being added or subtracted, blank page-not showing any assets. Save yourself the time and frustration. Track your portfolio elsewhere if you don’t want the potential of having to reenter all of your transactions and having to constantly contact support.

While there are a few additions to this new update that were good (keeping track of price per coin and transaction fees), CoinMarketCap now glitches more than ever. Totals, coin prices, and charts will not refresh half the time. Also, CoinMarketCap freezes up when trying to enter additions and subtractions to my positions. I find myself having to force quit CoinMarketCap many times just to enter staking interest for a few coins. Sometimes CoinMarketCap just doesn’t work at all in the portfolio section, no matter how many times I try to refresh or relaunch CoinMarketCap . Also, in the portfolio section, we use to have the ability to pull up charts for individual coins, but now we have to go to another section to do that. Also, on the front page, I’ve found that “Global Overview” seems to randomly pop up at times and I have no idea how to do it when I want to see it. It just randomly appears sometimes. Also, the profiles for individual coins really need to be updated. There are plenty of coins still listed as being on exchanges that they’ve been delisted from, others not being listed as being on exchanges that I’ve recently purchased them on, and many coins where there are no news entries for the past few years even though I can find plenty of articles if I do a Google search. CoinMarketCap needs more stability and a comprehensive update to the content of the coin profiles.

This website is amazing because of all the great assets it has and etc. CoinMarketCap works great as well. One can easily look up a coin or token and check its current price and daily gain/loss percentage. On the other hand, this has 3 stars because there are many apps like this, that even allow people to do more. With this said, a few things should be considered.

1. Being able to set alerts for cryptos on your watchlist, so if say Adshares surpasses 50¢ it will send a notification. Or if a coin on a watchlist has dropped or gained a certain percentage.

2. Add a widget. So certain coins or tokens on a watchlist could be easily looked at from the iPhone home screen, like CoinBase’s widget.

3. Donation option through CoinMarketCap via crypto, PayPal, or IAP. Maybe even purchasing something that gets rid of the small banner ad at the bottom of CoinMarketCap .

4. Looking at social media/reddit posts about the crypto through an embedded WebKit. You already have something sort of like this on your website. Just allow users to go to a “social media view” or something where they can see updates from the crypto company or about the crypto.

CoinMarketCap has fabulous potential, and this website is one of the best to look at crypto stats with. Keep up the good work! Hope this review helps! Thank you for reading this.

I downloaded CoinMarketCap hoping that it would provide similar features of their site, however it’s quite lacking even for a first edition. First off, there is no iPhone X display compatibility so CoinMarketCap size is the old style if used on it. Furthermore, you cannot drill down into each coin to see further stats on them. CoinMarketCap seems more for just quick viewing of prices, but there are better apps at the moment that accomplishes this and provides a significant more amount of information at the touch of a finger. Lastly, the drop down at the top that’s supposed to show 24hr volume, btc dominance, etc shows “?” for each stat.

As the market of such apps is quite extensive these days, I’d recommend looking elsewhere (CoinCap is much better currently) until this app decides to put more effort into theirs.

by Turtledove223344

CoinMarketCap always stalls and claims not to be connected to the internet, 10x more finicky than any other app I have. I also wasted time entering some of my portfolio from binance, it lumps every coin together and only shows me how up % or down I am as a whole, vs each individual crypto holding, which is useless to me. I want to see the stats for each coin I hold. Binance can already tell me if my whole bag is up or down. So it’s kinda useless. Otherwise I guess it’s good for reading news articles but I originally downloaded it for price alerts and they always come hours after the fact.

by Gmonwy

I am going to echo what some others have said. CoinMarketCap is pretty good just like their actual web site is great. That was until recently with an update or so. Now things do not load or update unless I force close CoinMarketCap and relaunch. Then it may work for awhile.

This is quite frustrating as two of the features I like best, portfolio tracker & watchlist, are hampered by this.

The portfolio tracker is, in my opinion, one of the best features of Coin Market Cap. If you are like most of us in crypto you have coins at several exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, Phemex, etc.. The portfolio tracker lets you put in your transactions and fees so you can track your overall gains/losses by coin and as a total.

Hi! Overall I enjoy this application. It allows me to track my purchases across platforms I may have bought from using the PORTFOLIO tab. Nevertheless, I see that some changes have been made to this page.

I like privacy mode. That’s a nice option. Nevertheless, when I used to press on the percentage button at the top right corner, I would get a DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR increase or decrease view, telling me exactly how much money I lost or gained. I see that the total money lost or gained has moved out of that box to right below the total asset number. However, it has completely left the individual assets. Meaning, when I pressed on the total percentage at the top right, I would get “dollar mode” where I can scrolll down and see how much I gained or lost per asset. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FEATURE. Please bring this back!! So disappointed I updated. Please please bring this back.

I’m not getting my price alerts at all I got one since I have set like a bunch!?!?But besides that it’s a great app and I would recommend it to anyone that isn’t into crypto because you can sit proselytes on by her sale it has many different functions and it is a wonderful out playing and simple I just for some reason haven’t got none of my process lights but one since I said them and I know that there’s been more than once that some of my crypto’s I’m watching and have stock in has dropped below my price point and I never got are you single notification maybe it was my phone maybe it was just this one time I don’t know but might want to check on that but besides that great app keep it up and love what y’all are doing!!!

CoinMarketCap allows convenient access for looking up coins and tokens, getting their websites, and contract addresses. Unfortunately it gives automatic alerts for every coin / token in a watchlist with no option to disable it. And if you have a few lists that can result in getting alerts all day long. The only solution is to disable alerts entirely, or not use watch lists for organizing items you want to monitor or share. In case of the former, it results in not being able to use actual price alerts set. I’ll keep CoinMarketCap because of its convenience, but alerts will stay disabled and I’ll have to enable the specific price movements in another app.

I wrote the below b/c I cldn’t get it to work. Apparently, after updates, we shld log out and log back in, and that will fix all of these issues. If u hv the same or similar problems, keep this in mind. 😁 Lost out on an NFT drop b/c of this. My own fault. If I’d tried the standard things like logging out/back in, probably cld hv saved myself the headache. Live & learn.

“Until about 2 weeks ago, CoinMarketCap worked perfectly! I used it on my computer and on my Apple phone. About 2 weeks ago, it began having issues. It won’t stay logged in when I go to get my daily diamonds. I hv to log in 3 times in a row to get it to give them to me. When I try to add new purchased crypto to my page, it says I don’t hv any and won’t let me log in. However, when I open CoinMarketCap , I hv it set to the ‘Current Balance’ tab, and it loads just fine, showing all my current holdings. It’s very confusing. I tried deleting CoinMarketCap and reloading it. It did the same thing to me. If you can fix all of this, it wld be perfect again.”

The new and improved CMC app is awesome, and I've only been using it for 5 minutes. Immediately, I’m attracted to the portfolio feature; a new way to chart my whole portfolio when coins are spread across multiple wallets. The news section is also impressive as I just found an article there before Google. 5 stars compared to the version I had just a few weeks ago!

by DeAtHaDDiCtiOn5

this app has been my go-to crypto tracker from day one! The UI is extremely organized and all the information is accurate and easy to comprehend. I like that there are in-depth descriptions of every Coin/Token so if you don’t know what a certain one represents, you can read all the info underneath the charts. What makes each unique, who started it, the websites and much more available for each one. I’d pay for CoinMarketCap but it’s free! Highly recommend!

by The 8Bit Bunny

There is nothing better than being notified 10-15 minutes after the set price has already been marked. Let me tell you, CoinMarketCap will guarantee you will miss your alerts because it is so strongly built on the convenience of its own time. Flawless design and excellent structure, if only the main purpose of this market cap app is to notify people of coins ON TIME. All in all quite a decadent layout, core mechanics need work.

by Augiedo

CoinMarketCap definitely gives me more options for cryptocurrency then Robinhood; the improvements I would like to see is the search bar be more accessible from the home menu and my watch list not buried with the the other taps on the Home Screen. CoinMarketCap with show you stock from all time, 90 days, 30, 7, then 24 hours. I wish I could see live with in the last hour. Like I said great app could use some improvements with accessibility.

by Surreal730

What an app. What a team behind CoinMarketCap . I use binance for trading and I hate their UI. It’s so raw and in your face. So I came across this app(recommended by my elder brother)
The moment I opened CoinMarketCap I fell in love because of the minimalistic style. There was a problem though, after a few seconds CoinMarketCap would say network timed out.
I reported the issue and was responded to by their development team promptly and they got the issue fixed. CoinMarketCap has helped me enjoy making tons of $$$ even more! Highly recommend: if you are into crypto, like making money, enjoy using a clean UI

This is a must have app for any person interested in learning about or investing in crypto. It allows you to track your own portfolio investments in a comprehensive way that no exchange does. Mind you it may take some time for you to enter your current investments. however it will be more than worth the time when you are able to track your percentage allocations and also track your winners and losers. this information is not calculated on your basic wallet or your exchanges. in addition the news and announcements that are provided for your selected crypto allows you to DYOR. In short CoinMarketCap is an absolutely must have for anyone who wishes to dabble in crypto currencies or engage FOMO or YOLO investing. lol

CoinMarketCap worked amazing and was very useful until 2 updates ago….after the second to last update my watch lists stopped showing up correctly. Only some coins show up in my watch lists. It says 14 are in the list but only one show up and I can’t add them back again. Figured maybe it was a glitchy update so I just waited for the next one but I just updated it again and it’s still like that. Makes CoinMarketCap useless to keep my lists, so frustrating because it was a very useful app when it worked. Btw I’m using an updated iPhone if devs are wondering. Would update to 5 stars if it actually worked because it WAS useful
—————————————
Edit: just uninstalled and redownloaded after the most recent update and it’s working again. Didn’t work last time so I guess the update did fix it. Back to 5 stars CoinMarketCap is useful

by Cooltuber101

I have been learning this past year about crypto’s, NFT’s, etc and I finally had the confidence to buy in and take a small risk. Not gonna give you some NBA career story, I didn’t do much. But I can say without hesitation I love CoinMarketCap. It’s easy to use design, no ads in sight, dark mode, all 3 of the major markets, and for me personally the ability to seamlessly switch between phone and pc really takes the cake. Overall 5/5 Great app! Would love to see a Apple Watch feature where I could just quickly check my portfolio though!

CMC does not provide a fair and even way of calculating the TMC which means that the prices and ratios are incorrect as well. Rather than using the same method to calculate the TMC for each coin it uses different methods for different coins in an effort to affect the market. I would never use CMC again as the false information it’s providing will lead investors in the wrong direction. There are several other apps out there that provide actual facts rather than false and misleading information. If you choose to use CMC just keep in mind the information displayed is incorrect per the crypto market regulations as will most likely lead you to making a bad decision.

by Official MattDamon

Love the new updates, makes everything seem usable again. The only downside is all the Ad’s & Malicious software that keeps trying to download “Anti-Virus Software” w/ no button to exit out. The only option is to press “ok”, an I’m definitely not gonna press that. All screenshots of these Pop-up’s have been sent to Apple for Review.

I hope for an update from Developers, because I’d really like to use cmc again for my portfolio needs. Thank you

by Wolfman_4_ever

Need an ad free version. ad might be small and on the bottom but when wanting to quick look at those coins at the bottom, ads in the way so you need to scroll. also when you try to close the ad, the box stays there and says “ads by google” in the box.

Agree with others that CoinMarketCap needs more info like the website.

by JayJobes

Thank you!! All the numbers and tickers match the website and the UX/UI is pretty good. Can’t wait to see updates!

Edit: the updates I’d like to see so far is the ability to click on a coin and pull up its detailed page of markets, history, etc like the web client (fixed- thank you!!: and also when I search an exact ticker there’s no reason the coin I’m looking for should be at the bottom or not even in search results.)

by Getamped314

It would be even better if it was more linked up with the information that is already on the site and had longer than 30 day chart time frames. It would be cool if it linked with the twitter news for each of the coins too.

It’s simple and works, but could be expanded in its capabilities.

As of second week of April and 2019 they put a new interface and it’s very confusing and not as easy to read is the old mobile interface

by GrantPierce

Am I missing something or does it not show the overall market cap like there web page shows? 99% of people want to see that more than the individual. I’m assuming I’m just not seeing it on CoinMarketCap .

Awesome! I’ll change my feedback to 5 STAR 😁

by EmirAyral

Everything is good actually, this app is my favorite app and website to check crypto currencies. But they really need to add graphics, not the one they have on CoinMarketCap that’s really the worst one I have ever seen. Whenever I want to check the graphs I’m checking other websites. This is a very big issue for a well known company like this..

by Stardog16

I reviewed that I want to pay to have no ads. The devs replied that shortly this feature will become available but that in the meantime they need money and the ads help. I can’t wait to pay so that I don’t have to look at the ads.

by MW Huntster

CoinMarketCap provides instant info on current and historical prices of a large number of cryptocoins. You can keep track of the change in value of a cryptocoin portfolio and get news targeted to specific coins. It may be the fastest, most reliable app on my iPhone.

by Code For Another 4

There is more information available to the investor on the website. An app is suppose to delivery the same information with quicker access and CoinMarketCap fails to delivery the information I looking to use. Keep adding improvements.

by NonomoosH

I believe we can devide all the people in the world ، in Two main branches :
Ones who always seek truth and honesty under the glimse of light & others who dont feel comfortable in Luminous environment , actualy their survival is based on darkness , lies & manipulations ...
So, based on my little knowlege of crypto markets so far,I consider your app will fit in the first branch ...
A rare phenomenon these days which should be respected.🙏🔥🙏

by Bo3adla

Happy to see the official app at last.

There is one small issue, it’s not showing the dollar sign $ it’s showing my country currency sign but the numbers are correct. Just wanted to mention that for the next update 😁.
