Cryptocurrency has taken the world by storm. All over the world there are people mining for Bitcoins, Doge coins, and various other forms of currency. They’re starting to carry some real value in the real world and some places even accept cryptocurrency as payment for goods and services. In this roundup, we’ll take a look at the best cryptocurrency apps for Android.

Bitcoin Checker

[Price: Free]
First on our list is Bitcoin Checker. This rock solid app is a go-to for many people who use cryptocurrency. It shows you the up-to-date prices on most cryptocurrencies all around the world. It features a simplistic UI, but the simplicity works in the app’s favor due to the amount of information it shows. Whether it is Bitcoins, Doge coins, or something more obscure, this app will probably have information on it. It’s also totally free to use.

Bitcoin Ticker Widget

[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Bitcoin Ticker Widget is a quick and easy solution for people who want to know the current exchange rates of various cryptocurrencies straight from their home screen. The app supports dozens of currencies and the widgets are made in such a way that they should fit on most themes. The app that accompanies the widget is fairly useful and simple to understand. You can also set multiple widgets for multiple currencies if there is more than than one that you follow. It’s a good way to keep up to date if you’re a fan of widgets.

Bitcoinium

[Price: Free / $2.98]
Bitcoinium is kind of a hybrid between the ticker widget and Bitcoin check above. Bitcoinium shows you the latest exchange rates for a vast number of currencies, allows you to set alarms for when a currency hits a certain price, and even provides Bitcoin mining statistics. It comes with a widget that you can set up for your favorite currency or set up multiples if you want them. It’s a good all-in-one solution.

Bitcoin Wallet

[Price: Free]
Bitcoin Wallet is an app that lets you manage your personal Bitcoins. It’s developed by Coinbase which is a reasonably trusted company in the Bitcoin game. With this app you can buy, sell, and spend Bitcoins as well as manage your account. Think of it like a PayPal but for Bitcoins. You can also send and request Bitcoins from other people and remotely disable phone access if it’s lost or stolen. The interface is also quite good with some Material Design goodness and ranks as among the best designed apps on this list.

Cryptocurrency for DashClock

[Price: Free]
DashClock is a powerful app that many people use to get more information on their lock screens. Cryptocurrency for DashClock allows you to add various currencies right to your lock screen so you can monitor them. There are dozens of currencies that are supported. It’s simple to use and easy to understand. Of course, you will need to be using the DashClock app in order to use this one. DashClock users who follow cryptocurrencies should definitely check this one out.

CoinDesk

[Price: Free]
CoinDesk is another pricing app for cryptocurrencies. What makes this one unique is that it also has a news feed for relevant news so you can keep up on what’s going on in the world of cryptocurrency. You can also find analysis, charts, a currency converter, and you can set notifications for when a currency hits a certain value. It’s another really good all-in-one solution although we do question the use of burnt yellow as a main color scheme for the app’s UI.

Crypto Currency Converter

[Price: Free]
Crypto Currency Converter is a totally free application with no advertising and requires no permissions to run (aside from Internet). It allows you to convert over 1100 online currencies all while keeping track of currency values in the form of graphs. It’s a simple application without a lot of pizzazz which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you just want an app that works. It doesn’t have a lot of downloads yet but the people who have used it seem to enjoy it so far.

Crypto Miner Pro

[Price: $2.51]
While you’re Android device isn’t in use, why not use it to mine some coins? Crypto Miner Pro allows you to do exactly that. It’s a minimal app with a minimal interface. You just input the information you need, click the “Start Mining” button, and you’re off to the races. There is a free version of this app but it is apparently much, much worse than the paid version. You should definitely try the free version first, though. You can mine a variety of different coins and once you get used to it, it’s easy to use.

Cryptonator

[Price: Free]
Cryptonator is another all-in-one cryptocurrency option. With it you can convert over 500 different varieties of crypto-coins. You can also track your favorite currencies, use the portfolio tool to track the value of coins you own, and there’s a fun segment that shows you which currencies did the best and worst in any given month. There is even a widget you can use if you need it. It competes favorably with the other all-in-one solutions.

CryptoX CryptoCurrency Checker

[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Last on our list is an app called CryptoX. It’s an app that lets you check the prices of various cryptocurrencies and compare them to other currencies. It features a simple Holo-card style UI and plenty of information for those who follow cryptocurrencies. It also integrates the Twitter feeds of various exchanges so you can keep up on what’s going on with all of them. It’s a younger app and the developer has plans to add more features so if it’s not good enough yet, keep an eye on it because there are plans for more things.
