I used to like blockchain.info, but considering they have been down so frequently, I installed a local instance of Abe. Its quite convenient and quick to be able to look up transactions without having to visit an external site.

Topic: Which Block Explorer do you use ? - page 12. (Read 35318 times)
i find myself using blockr.io more than blockchain.info. it has way less errors and the ui looks very clean. blockchain.info needs to work on their bugs that they have had for a very long time.
ive used blockchain.info for a while, but im starting to lean more towards blocktrail now, not sure why.
Same here. I just wish BlockTrail makes their PHP based send/receive API easier to integrate.

We have just launched a new block explorer - smartbit.com.au
Our launch thread can be found here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-smartbitcomau-bitcoin-block-explorer-1127817
Cheers!

Wow, i didn't even know that there were different block explorers for bitcoin. I like many of these, this thread has a very nice list. I am going to start using a few different block explorers, maybe there are some that I will like more than others.
blockchain.info is the go-to, and has the nicest interface. although it is buggy at times, and my second favorite is blockr.io, which is very reliable.
When you check an address balance or a transaction status online, which block explorer do you use ? If you run a service depending on a third party API, which block explorer's API you rely upon ?

A few more (they all seem to work well):
-BlockCypher: https://live.blockcypher.com/
-BitPay: https://insight.bitpay.com/
-blockinfo: http://blockinfo.org/
-Coinprism: https://www.coinprism.info/
Some comments on the ones that are currently listed (did some testing):
3. Blockexplorer: Clunky, slow, unreliable. It often fails to display updated transactions, sometimes it won't even be able to load an address at all. I respect that they were pretty much the first block explorer (or the first?), but there are much better alternatives out there.
That's it, enjoy! I'd love to hear some feedback about my list as well if anyone has any.
Now, as blockchain.info is down, I'd like to add http://blockmeta.com to the list.
I don't like bc.info because they don't show inputs/outputs correctly on mobile. I use blocktrail usually.
i'm sure more than 90% of user here are blockchain.info user
same as me
i am looking for new block explorer, because blockchain.info is often going down recently
insight bitpay seems good idea for now

I think your right on the over 90 percent. They are used most of the links on here.
Please add Tradeblock to the list: https://tradeblock.com/blockchain
Personally, I use Biteasy first and Blockchain.info as alternative. But one thing what I avoid: block explorer with tickers. I don't go to a block explorer to see the price in a fiat currency which I don't use.

i personally like http://btc.blockr.io/ as an alternative block explorer, for times when i can't do it on blockchain.info. also http://blockr.io/ has other altcoin chains too. and you can bookmark your addresses so that you can access them easily. same as me

I think https://blockchain.info/ has become the premier one. It just works. They have also turned it into a heck of a company. I heard them talk at a conference and was impressed with them.

Is there any native block explorer for Android?
I mean one really written in Java for Android, not just a webview for a web explorer.
That would be cool.

You maybe looking for https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jackpf.blockchainsearch&hl=en.
Thanks MZ. I checked it but didn't like it to be honest. It doesn't give more information than insight and has an UI that looks like a website.
I'm not sure if it'd be worth developing a fully featured native explorer for Android.
I check pretty much only blockchain.info which is where I have a wallet. That keeps it nice and simple for me.
Blockchain.info
It's the most convenient since I also use their wallet service. Interface looks clean too. On a side-note, it has my 2 favourite colours, blue and white.
