Hey guys thought you might be interested in an app I made to track Bitcoin vs BCH and the other forks that are coming very shortly. It's called Bitcoin Wars and can be found on the app store here https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bitcoinwars-bitcoin-moon-race/id1280167160?mt=8
You're the first coder I have come across on bitcointalk who made an 'bitcoin' application for Ios before Android.Usually it's other way around.Look at coinnomi,already 3k+ download on the Android app store still not on Ios.

Thanks for checking it out and any feedback is appreciated. I already plan on moving the graphs to another page once the additional forks are created.
Honestly,why BCH ? How difficult it is to keep track of the upcoming forks ? I mean do we really need an app for something that 'petty' ? Boy,technology is making people lazy.

Gotta start somewhere and when you're an iOS developer you start there. Looking to port to Android in the near future.

BCH is one of the main forks that came from Bitcoin so of course we're going to include it. Figured it would be a good way to keep track of all the upcoming forks with 2x coming around and Bitcoin gold. Makes it convenient and easy to see how everything is doing against BTC.
Well, if you are just practicing your skills as a developer then there is nothing wrong with that, you need to make simple projects before you tackle something more substantive, however when it comes to app and stuff like I always try to follow the simpler path, it is not difficult to remember the forks because there are only two of them, bitcoin gold and segwit2x so you could write that down or just commit it to memory.
It's not really so much as remembering about the forks as much as it is about having one easy place to see current market data around the forks. Who knows how many we'll be seeing in the future.
