Yeah honestly it comes and goes, in terms of performance. But it only takes up one small square of the home screen and I figure it’s better to know the price more often than not at all so I keep it installed.
Are there any apps for Android that will not only give you the price on an exchange, but also, and most importantly, be able to create an alarm/text notification the moment a coin that you are following hits a certain price? Paid or unpaid app isn’t an issue as would be more than happy to pay for such a service.
[Update] Just checking out Bitcoin Checker that @sprks mentioned and it looks like it does something similar to what I want. Have set some test alarms for MAID on Poloniex for when a price increase of 3% and 10% is reached.
[2nd Update] Alarm just went off after the price rose by +3%. Great app.
