Great looking useful app, Is there any specific reason it couldn't be made for iOS ? You could charge £5 a copy easy, Shame I don't have android.

Apple has a history of pulling Bitcoin related apps and blocking apps that use Bitcoin as a payment method. Probably more trouble than it's worth for independent devs.

Apple only takes down any app that directly buys/sells BTC/fiat. There are a ton of Bitcoin tracking, rig tracking, pool tracking, market tracking and even a few wallet apps out there. Blockchain.info are there and Coinbase was briefly, but they'll work that out soon.

Hell, there's even one scrypt mining app (no stratum support though) that they haven't touched. I use it occasionally on my iPhone and iPad just to eek a little more (point it to a stratum proxy that's pointed to Middlecoin). Of course they both just hash away at less than 1kh per thread. Wink

But why should a dev, especially a small independent dev waste any time or resources to develop an app when there is even a remote chance of it being banned when there are other platforms that are more bitcoin friendly?

Because , Correct me if I'm wrong , But isn't it quite a straight forward thing to port an app from android to iOS ? Or am I going crazy ? I was under the impression tools are available to make it not that big a job ?
