I seriously think this app has what it takes to bring cryptonto the masses. The masses need a monetary reward to adopt and this it. I can not wait for the iOS!! This would spread through college campuses like wildfire.

I am really excited about this update as none of my friends have android smart phones including myself, next question is WHEN it is coming and IF Apple approves app or not.

The url referral link gives a lot of motivation for people to say produce a decent video, blog etc and use the link, suddenly you can have a million friends in theory!
This is pretty big for those who have lots of friends/fans, just give them the link and you have earned yourself a reasonable amount of money.

App looks great. Love the updates. Can't wait to start spreading the word once the iOS is out.
March 16, 2015, 02:52:19 PM
could you please post the apk files of the newest versions somewhere as well when you release new updates?

The reason it's there is because we are going to add the referral tracking at the top. If you want more Gemz in your wallet invite friends to join 
Referrals and gemz earned, guess we are bracing up for the airdrop.

Awesome, as nextgencoin mentioned the + person icon which is on the upper right in 'wallet' may confuse users that since its in wallet the + person icon is for sending a person gemz/btc. I think it would be better if its place would change to invite friends section or if not, making it clear that it is to invite telegram friends. I'm purely talking from a regular user perspective.

Alright then, then ignore my point. Looks great
It does, problem is on my phone it looks quite a bit different with the bitcoin logo cut off and the low res icons. I have a shitty old S2 phone cause I barely use it, I expect on my wifes it looks great but I guess things need to look good across many devices of varying quality. The OS is pretty much up to date.
notice the soft images of the icons.
heres the text cut off issue.
Here the address gets chopped off.
again the soft icons, noticably less sharp than the text on the top.

I didn't ever use a QR code but from a visual design perspective I agree with the sentiment of keeping it looking simple, having a picture or icon over the QR code looks messy to my Jonathan ive design loving eyes. But you guys need to follow your instincts not just feedback. I personally like the idea of being simple and graphic but I wonder if some text in the right places could help like pasting an address for example or just acting a bit more like a bitocin android wallet with some boxes and guidlines etc. basically I mean something more like this:

Not everywhere but on the more serious practical sending pages of the app, I think guidlines, text, boxes etc give confidence to users when sending money.
Good decision regarding currency as a setting.
In the end you guys need to follow your own vision for the app.

I actually like just a simple qr code page, in the link you gave i think its just too much propped in one window in the qr screen, this is overwhelming for non tech users and especially those who aren't familiar with crypto. I like more how gems is doing it and how they just keep it simple with a deserted/elegant vibe, remember enough information has yet to be added like the advertisement, airdrop and other things. The customisable qr option is pretty cool aswell, it attracts all kind of people.

- When i click on 'send to address' it only shows only the $ amount, when i change currency to euro in wallet section then it should show euro in 'send to address' section.
We are going to move the default fiat currency choice to setting, and it will be applied on all relevant screens.- An update alert is definitely needed.
Agreed, will be added.- Someone else mentioned a feature to buy btc/gemz from the app, strongly agree.
Our legal team is exploring the regulatory implications On a side note, in wallet on the right upper side there is a inviting logo with a + sign, when i click on it it says 0/0 members and no contacts yet, anyone knows how this option works?
This options is to invite your Telegram friends to GetGems, if it says 0/0 members and no contacts yet it means you don't have friends that are using Telegram. Inviting "regular friends" from your phone contact list can be done using invite friends tab and contacts tab. We are working on making an easy tutorial.
We will keep improving the UX/UI.

I think the qr code page should just have the qr code without the gems logo behind it because it makes it a bit unorganised/messy and it also makes the gems logo to repetitive in the app, in this case less is more.
We pushed a new version that will fix the sizing issue and Gem qr code will look better.
Soon you will be able to make your own unique colorful QR code using any picture you like, for example:
Thats much better.

Sweet update, the wallet looks awesome and some very useful features have been added.
Further improvements:
- When i click on 'send to address' it only shows only the $ amount, when i change currency to euro in wallet section then it should show euro in 'send to address' section.
- An update alert is definitely needed.
- Someone else mentioned a feature to buy btc/gemz from the app, strongly agree.
For the rest you guys are doing a great job, the qr scanner just made this the most versatile wallet with real world purposes, even better than mycelium and others. Keep up the good work.

I wondered the same thing, I thought it was for searching contacts and sending people coins??? Something doesn't quite gel in terms of sending in the wallet imo. The experience is this: you press the wallet thinking that is to send out of the wallet ......so ok you have the option to put an amount but who are you sending to? (Which im not a fan of honestly, I like to see who i'm sending to at all times and for the dummy user like myself I forget who i'm even sending to potentially) The link on the top of page just takes you back out to the wallet and like you said the +(person icon) leads to nothing?
Is this a funtion that hasn't maybe been implemented fully YET?
It works now after i updated, the + person icon is for inviting friends and i agree that it shouldn't be in the wallet section but in the 'invite friends' section from the drop down menu where the social media also shows. You can put it on the upper right side here. In the future when you plan to add buying gemz/btc from within the app there is space at the upper right in the 'wallet section'.
Also when i click on the + person icon i only see 6 members, shouldn't it have to show the contacts on my phone? which is more then 6 users.
A small thing is when i invite through te + person icon it sends the message 'hey lets switch to Gems' Gems should be GetGems.

I feel bad for adding all these possible bugs but we got to get it right.
I don't know if its just me but sometimes when I open the app and open the wallet the balance pops up and disapears almost instantly after.
Annnnnd I'm not seeing all the currencies, I'm getting dollars, Yen, Euros.....so no GBP, CAD etc..

Another thing:
I think the qr code page should just have the qr code without the gems logo behind it because it makes it a bit unorganised/messy and it also makes the gems logo to repetitive in the app, in this case less is more.
Also since bitcoin and gemz addresses are the same i can imagine people wondering where is the qr code for my bitcoin address. To make this clear you can add a line above the qr logo mentioning that it can be used for gemz and bitcoin.
