Mobile Bitcoin applications are a great way to keep tabs on the current price. Although there are multiple free applications available, some are paid. One of those paid apps is quite popular among iOS users. It is quite nifty to see a paid Bitcoin price ticker app dominate the paid finance apps in the Apple App Store. Things are slowly starting to change in favor of Bitcoin.

It has to be said, a lot of people want to keep an eye on the current Bitcoin price. Given the recent value appreciation, that is not entirely unexpected. A lot of enthusiasts use IOS devices for their everyday tasks. As a result, there are quite a few apps in the Apple Store related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. One such app is called Crypto Pro: Bitcoin Ticker, Widget & Complication. On paper, it doesn’t sound like an app most people would pay US$4.99 for.

Paid Bitcoin App Dominates Apple Finance App Charts

However, it appears a lot of people have taken a liking to this app. It can track multiple cryptocurrencies, including Litecoin, XRP, Monero, and Ethereum. All of the information is presented in the form of detailed interactive graphs. It is a beautiful application which allows for full customization. Considering how it tracks the top 100 cryptocurrencies, there are plenty of reasons to like this iOS app. Plus, it is compatible with the Apple Watch as well.

For some unknown reason, this app made it to the top finance apps in the Apple Store. That is quite surprising, even though it offers quite a few interesting tools. Then again, its price point is a bit steep for a lot of people only exploring cryptocurrencies right now. One would expect more traditional apps to dominate the charts. Especially those apps costing around US$2 and less. Interestingly enough, Crypto Pro is topping the charts right now. Quite a spectacular turn of events, to say the least.

This is all especially interesting given the history Apple has with Bitcoin apps. A lot of apps weren’t even allowed in the Apple Store until about two and a half years ago. Ever since, the company had to deal with multiple fake Bitcoin wallets being submitted. Some of these wallets even got through, which made things more complicated. However, it appears the tides are slowly turning in favor of Bitcoin as of late. Seeing a paid price ticker top the paid finance apps on iOS is a significant development.
