Is it still accessible from the app? ### 2/5 — Diabolical—Can’t Restore Purchases *2025-04-13, version 8.2* I have this app on my old iPhone 7 Plus. I paid to have the ads removed and it’s great! Unfortunately, on any new device I can’t restore purchases. It says “Already Purchased?” at the bottom of the screen with no further text or clickable link. The only thing it allows you to do is purchase again. Having to repurchase the full AD-FREE version for every device that I install the app on is criminally manipulative—I wish it weren’t the case—because it truly is a unique and excellent app (even 7 years later). Total bummer—so I advocate everyone look elsewhere for an aggregate crypto news app, unfortunately. ### 2/5 — Too many adds. *2022-08-14, version 8.2* Used to love this app, and I still kind of do. It is frustrating because it really is the best blockchain news source, however, you are walking on the verge of poor service quality. This is because most people are spending more time watching adds or waiting for them to disappear, than actually being able to utilize your service for what it is intended for, the dissemination of crypto news......or is that really your companies mission afterall? I paid the fee to get rid of adds and I have not noticed any difference. You are blatantly stealing money. You need to re-focus your business model and put an end to this nonsense. ### 5/5 — Great app and site for everything Crypto! *2021-01-04, version 7.6* BTCNews is a great app for everything Crypto! You can research all news, bring up graphs and charts, cap size, everything at your fingertips! Amazing resource!! ### 5/5 — Best *2020-12-16, version 7.5* Best crypto news site ever! ### 5/5 — Amazing app about crypto *2020-11-27, version 7.4* Needs maybe more features also a place for analytics ### 5/5 — Unable to launch app *2020-08-24, version 7.4* Kindly update for version 12.4.8 also. Thank you. 👍👍 ### 5/5 — Informative and encompassing *2020-07-25, version 7.2* Gathers a scope of crypto related news. ### 5/5 — Updated Crypto News!!! *2020-07-23, version 7.2* I love it. Easy to use and all the news in crypto. ### 5/5 — Because of BTC News I won a global trading Competition *2020-07-22, version 7.2* For two years I used this app daily, religiously. It was my go to source for all the news I needed in crypto. I referred to at least 100 people. Fact when people would ask me about crypto the very first thing I would tell him is to get this app. And then all of a sudden about a week ago two weeks ago maybe it stopped working on my iPad. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times cleared all my memories all my cache. Not sure what you did if you did some update the past couple weeks that made it stopped working on iPad but all it does is crash I can't even open it and click to open it and it just sends me right back to my home screen please fix this or tell me how to get an older version so I can have it working again. I feel lost without it. Update:: The developer reached out to me with Uber helpful and help me working again within days. The title says because of this app I was able to stay informed and make sound trading decisions during a year-long training competition with over 200 participants and I placed 14. Every morning when I wake up at scroll this app. Every time I sit down on the Cannes this is my reading material. There's one reason why this app is better than all the other combined news media outlets for cryptocurrency. And that reason is the developer Taal. Although my interactions with him has been short his passion and commitment to this application and all of his other work is Bar none. I'm grateful to him for this app and I'm grateful to him for his continued commitment to the highest level of quality and accurate news media if you don't have this app yet then you were in the dark. ### 5/5 — Legit *2020-07-18, version 7.2* I get my news about crypto and blockchain here. There are ads but easily avoidable. Been a good app all around! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t get past ads *2023-01-26, version 8.2* Anytime you want to see a full article, an ad pops up, and there is no way to get past it. The button to skip the ad is not working, or too far up to be tappable. I understand the need to do ads, but they’ve made the app itself unusable. This use to be my go-to app for crypto news, but I am going to delete it if this issue is not addressed. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2022-01-10, version 8.1* Many Faux informations !dissatisfy Bloody nasty information on btc new very inaccurate info Btc try to manipulate the real news. ### 1/5 — Too many junk ads *2021-08-17, version 8.1* Worst are the full screen ads. I deleted this app 1/5 star. ### 1/5 — Hate new ads *2020-11-23, version 7.4* I used to like this app. Now, with the new ads popping up before I can even read the first paragraph, I’ve deleted it. The ads cannot be “x”ed out of! You have to close the app or click on the ad! ### 1/5 — App broken *2020-09-04, version 7.4* App won’t load. You pay to remove ads and the app links to you story with page full of ads. Junk app now. Had for years. Save your money. Not worth a penny. ### 1/5 — ..... *2020-08-30, version 7.4* Not worth it full of pop-up ads you can’t read anything you have to watch the f ng ads then you be lucky to read anything , so I would give this a zero rating ### 1/5 — Crashes since updating *2020-07-21, version 7.2* Really enjoyed using this app for years now but there are two very annoying problems. The first is that they have ads pop up every time you scroll down past around 10 stories, the second is that half of these ads have the ‘X’ Close button so dar into the corner that you cant close the ad so you have to close the app and reopen it. If you must have ads you need to screen what ads you put on the app as I’m very close to just deleting the app for good! ### 1/5 — one day after update no content!! *2020-07-18, version 7.2* NO WAY TO VIEW CONTENT NOW! ### 1/5 — Stupid musical ads *2020-07-13, version 7.2* Used to be a great crypto app. Now in app ads became so annoying, I’m uninstalling. Half of the time it’s impossible to figure out how to turn them off, and then there the ones playing music for 10 seconds. No thank you. ### 1/5 — To many adds and pop ups *2020-07-08, version 7.2* Way to many adds and pop ups and links ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — FABULOUS *2025-03-05, version 8.2* GREAT BITCOIN NEWS PLATFORM. THANK YOU ### 5/5 — Used this app since i saw it absolutely the best *2024-03-06, version 8.2* Best source of crypto news in a consolidated form. ### 5/5 — BTC News is Fantastic *2022-04-08, version 8.2* Great newsfeed that is remarkable with their updates. Customer support (Tal Barnea) is wonderful and so responsive! ### 5/5 — A-1 news . Every piece of news all in one place *2022-02-11, version 8.1* Perfect. ### 5/5 — Been using BTCNews app for years *2021-06-21, version 8.1* Keep up the good work. Great platform with all the news on one app. ### 5/5 — APP CRASHES COMPLETELY AS OF MAY 2021 *2021-06-08, version 8.1* EDIT: 6/7/2021 update brought my favorite app back!!!! Please no more crashing/bugs! 😭😭😭 Adored this app to the moon and back. Even paid $4.99+ to have ads removed. Dealt with ridiculous, constant, re-scrolling back to the top feature, which was incredibly annoying, because curation was AMAZING all this time. Downloaded the latest update and now the app CRASHES EVERY TIME I TRY TO OPEN IT. It has actually seriously affected my life believe it or not. I really wish I didn’t download the latest app update now. 🥲😭😭😭 More than happy to revise this review assuming I’m entirely wrong in some way or this is readily fixable due to something I’ve missed. Otherwise folks should probably know the app isn’t going to work, ever, with the new update, especially if they paid good money to get rid of the ads in the application. ### 5/5 — Looks good *2021-06-03, version 8.0* Looks good! ### 5/5 — Pay feature *2021-02-24, version 7.6* There should be a feature where I don’t have to view the ads. Even at a price. ### 5/5 — I like it. *2021-02-09, version 7.6* It needs more LTC news but otherwise very comprehensive! ### 5/5 — Highly satisfied *2021-01-24, version 7.6* Highly satisfied with the APP --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
