Read full description

Simple BTC Ticker brings essential Bitcoin data to your iPhone and Apple Watch in a clear, focused interface. Choose the Bitcoin price in US dollars, euros, or Swiss francs. Swipe to see the current block height or Moscow Time—the number of satoshis per US dollar displayed like a clock. Each page in the app shows when its underlying data was last updated. The app fetches fresh data when opened and then refreshes automatically. A subtle progress indicator shows when the next update is due. Add Bitcoin to your iPhone Home Screen. Small widgets show the logo, title, and value; wider widgets make room for larger numbers. Choose USD, EUR, CHF, block height, or Moscow Time. All Home Screen widgets support Light and Dark Mode. Compact inline and rectangular widgets are also available for your Lock Screen. The operating system schedules widget and complication updates. Actual intervals may vary; minute-by-minute updates are not guaranteed. On Apple Watch, a wide range of complications supports different watch faces and sizes. Put the Bitcoin price in USD, EUR, or CHF, the full block height, or Moscow Time directly on your watch face or in the Smart Stack. The Watch app automatically adapts type sizes, the logo, and spacing to the display. Even long prices and block heights stay on one line and remain easy to read. Features: • Bitcoin price in USD, EUR, and CHF • Current block height and the time of the latest mined block • Moscow Time—satoshis per US dollar • Automatic updates with a progress indicator • iPhone app with Light and Dark Mode • Standalone Apple Watch app • Automatically scaling Apple Watch layout • Complications for prices, block height, and Moscow Time • Number formatting for your language and region • No registration, ads, or tracking Displayed data is provided for informational purposes only.
