Users can check the real-time bitcoin price on the app's homepage which combines price and network pages from the websites. Users have the option to toggle between the bitcoin price and network statistics. Currently, the homepage features the USD price index, but users can take advantage of the currency calculator tab to view the price in their currency of choice. The bitcoin price is based on Bitcoin Price Index data.
The homepage also shows overview statistics, including: daily highs, lows, dollar amount changes, current market cap and the total number of bitcoins in existence. Users can select the charts page to view closing price and open-high-low-close (OHLC) bitcoin charts for the day, month and week.
