This app is nice, thanks! Enjoy the interface and have been using it for news.
Suggestions for improvement:
1) The clarkmoody graphs aren't retina and the text links, font, and interface of that pane are the weakest point of the app.
2) The calculator feels like a waste, other ideas for that pane:
Mining status
Wallet view
Block explorer
Latest transactions
I realize your goal is for traders, maybe that calculator is more important to them than I can imagine.
3) I can't add new RSS feeds to the news part.
4) I wish I had paid for this app because now I am wondering what your monetization scheme will be. This is a hedge against your users in my mind and will probably be the reason I stop using it. So start charging, I've paid $1.99 for much less!
Thank you for the suggestions!
1.) Clark Moody charts aren't natively Retina quality. So unfortunately until Clark Moody improves the quality of the image, we can't enhance it. Text links and fonts are current being edited by us and Clark Moody for a more navigable interface.
2.) We had a bunch of feedback asking for a calculator, and I personally use it. We definitely have been thinking about adding mining status and wallet view features in the near future ~1-2 months. We both have full time jobs so it is hard to take the time necessary to implement all features immediately. But we haven't done bad for a month and a half right?
3.) We probably won't allow the ability to add your own feeds for several few reasons. One is that a majority of the cryptocurrency related sites we gather content from don't have RSS feeds so we have to employ other methods. And second, 95% of Bitcoin content we looked at is garbage.
4.) Haha, well we are going for market share so we are trying to keep the costs as low as possible for our users. We have 2 monetization plans in the future. One is for an in-app purchase, which would give you color (red/green) Clark Moody charts, and some colored price movement indicators on the main screen for $1.99. We don't expect that feature to make too much money, but will add some nice flair to the users that want to support us.
In the very near future we will be adding a web dashboard interface, this will be the 2nd step in our overall information ecosystem that we hope to create with iOS, Android, and web. The second monetization plan will be announced within the next month or so, and will change the way you read news. There will be plenty of Q&A/feedback before we launch that feature.
A faster/easier way for me to open the news items on my computer would be lovely. Presently I have to send it to safari, then send it to myself from there as an iMessage.
Our web platform will be launching within the next 3 weeks. It will have a beautiful dashboard style interface just like the app has.
P.S. Think RTBTC design style
