Live Bitcoin is a full-screen look at the Bitcoin price. While the app is open, the price updates about once a second from the Coinbase trade feed. The digits roll into place as the market moves. A three-month chart shows the path to the current price, with the day's change beside it. Enter how much Bitcoin you hold and what you paid. Live Bitcoin shows your day and lifetime profit or loss in large type. Those numbers stay on your device. There is no account. Choose a display currency: USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, CHF, or INR. Your average cost is restated in the currency you pick. Add the price to the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, or StandBy. Widgets show the last saved price and refresh through the day.
