ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HODL Bitcoin & Crypto Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HODL Bitcoin & Crypto Tracker has 35K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of HODL Bitcoin & Crypto Tracker's written reviews are positive against 86% of CryptoWatch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HODL Bitcoin & Crypto Tracker ships an update weekly, CryptoWatch every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
