As amazing as the app looks can it perform compared to other apps dedicated to the trade of Bitcoin. On first glance all the basic functions are present, receiving, sending and trading Bitcoin. Whilst functionality is present what pushes Circle out in front is simply its GUI, simplicity and popularity. Circle has managed to gain a huge userbase attracting many new users and those with a credit card at hand for Bitcoin purchases.The new versions launched also cites impovements relating to functionality as many bugs were resolved during development of the version.
Whilst the launch of the App has come as a positive for the brand, negative news has overshadowed the launch. Many users on the Bitcointalk forum complained how the service was maiking profit of each trade via delaying it. Delaying certain trades by 5-10 minutes and in some cases for hours, leads to the service profiting from price fluctuations. Wether the claims are justified is it considered reasonable for a service to make some profit but is it acceptable to do so with out notifying the customer ? Voice your opinions below, and with that ill leave you with a quick review of the Android app.
