The comments say the app developer is a scammer and it's not safe to use the application.

What app are we talking about here?

Judging by the fact that those pictures of blockchain.info were shown, my guess is that it has not been submitted yet. I'm anxiously waiting for it.

We were all better off sticking to Android, the best option for bitcoin enthusiast.

I agree, because it allows for greater flexibility, especially when it comes to multiple-coin support and features. Some features are available to android devices' apps that simply are not available to the sandboxed walled garden of Apple and its approval process.

(I may be a bit biased though, I have always loved customisability to bits and that was the reason that I got my phone (nexus 5) and use the operating system that I do (debian))

As someone finishing development of an HTML5 wallet targeted at Apple users...
Fuck.

Let's hope this ends up being as it sounds.

Awesome move. Respect to all the individuals and companies working tirelessly to build an awesome ecosystem with or without Apple that has gained momentum and credibility in the face of some of the worst dirt (e.g. Silkroad, CryptoLocker, Mt. Gox) a product can imagine, to the extent that it's now so credible and well-spoken about that a company like Apple reverses its decision.

Oooh SHIT. Nice. If this refers to bitcoin (as an 'approved currency') then Bitcoin became just a little more frictionless for millions of users virtually overnight as everyone releases their apps.

I agree in part. The HUGE problem is security. Catch 22 situation here.
I understand hot wallets should not have much in them, but the idea of having a wallet on Android (at this time) is a bit scary.
I just trust Apple products a lot more here.

After apple "bans" bitcoin and caused all sorts of drama, now they support it?

I remember several users pledged to destroy their iphones and recorded it when apple initially banned the use of bitcoin apps. Funny stuff.

There was no regulation for bitcoin. Apple was doing what they had to do to protect themselves. Living is the past and faulting someone for not accepting bitcoin earlier isn't going to help expand Bitcoin into what we want it to be. Now that Apple is allowing bitcoin into their store, why not give praise where it's due? It was a smart decision and everyone will benefit from it.

I think apple had previously banned the bitcoin apps so they could study and understand Bitcoin better so they could develop policies about their apps to protect themselves and their images

what could it be? lol so it is just mean that applke is afraid of bitcoin? Shocked

in that case well i thibnk that was a dumb excuses dev and some people used bitcoins
bitcoins can make apple more popular and vice versa what is the used of their regulation when they have some bitcoin related apps but they dont have any wallet lol but it could be more safe to have a bitcoin wallet on ios than android

people still use apple produts ?
soooo 2013

but yeah, good news for you folks who do use apple and bitcoin in general. did they give a reason and to their change of heart ??

Apple has great products actually, it's just that they are uber expensive. I loved my iPhone when I had one and I've used Macs from other people.
The OS is great, it's just the hardware that is way too expensive.

You should hit their refurbished store. I buy Macs and portable devices from there all the time. They are usually returned items that they can't sell as new. When I bought my iMac it came in the same box and had all the same acessories. It just cost me a lot less.

coinjar and coinpocket have been readded

whats taking blockchain so long? no word they have even resubmitted

I believe the CEO said that blockchain.info was re-submitted right? Or did he say that they were planning on re-submitting to Apple? This was like the same day that the Apple announcement was made...

Ok, so why don't they "protect themselves" again? Nothing has changed for bitcoin since their first ban. I don't believe they even gave users even a few days notice before plucking the apps. And now, they did a complete 180 to support bitcoin again. I'm pretty sure they're accepting bitcoin again is because the backlash that they didn't expect, and this can be seen as a "feature" that will attract bitcoin supporters. It's a business and self-interest decision, but I doubt they could care less about the actual bitcoin.
