Coinbase: Buy Bitcoin & Ether 4+

Solid app but needs a minor tweak and an addition

This app is pretty solid as far as functionality and ease of use, but I do have something I would REALLY like to see changed… So when a person checks their orders, either the open or filled ones, the small cryptos need to have the decimal extended two more places or so and not rounded to the penny. Some cryptos like DOGE and XLM trade in hundredths of pennies (IE .2577) so it would be nice to see the exact amount listed on the orders. I may have a few orders placed in the .25 range, so it’s difficult to find a specific order in that range when they all just say .25. I would assume this has to be a pretty easy fix.
I also have another suggestion that would be helpful to me and I’m sure to others… It would be a VERY nice feature to be able to set up price alert pushes or at the very least to receive a push notification when one of our orders is filled.
I would definitely give this app 5-stars if the above suggestions were implemented. In fact, I would even pay a subscription fee to be able to have push notifications. I’m not sure if there is a fee for Coinbase to send out push notifications, but if there is a fee, it can’t be much as I can get multiple push notifications on the scores of my favorite teams (or even the entire NFL slate of games) from free sports apps.

Beta Tester

As I awoke this morning and began my usual routine of inspecting my Coinbase portfolio I happened to stumbled upon a new “feature”. While curious about prices in the market for today I tapped on the the ‘Trade’ tab. Following the tapping of this tab I was lead to a new interface. Something I had never seen before. Two new categories: Watchlist and New on Coinbase. The Watchlist category provided, well the assets on your watchlist and the New on Coinbase provided all assets that had been recently added to the platform. Along with these updates came some tweaks to the ‘Gainers’ and ‘Losers’ categories, which were now in order from Greatest to Least, compared to being all out of order previously. After examining the new Update I delivered a message with screenshots attached to my trading colleague ‘WallstreetJared’ to alert him of the news. My colleague quickly messaged back “I don’t have yet, sad”. Following this response I came to the conception that I am a Coinbase beta tester. So here is an immense thank you to the Coinbase family, it’s been an honor… really has. The update is 10/10. For ideas on a next update, my colleague and I have been chatting about a potential “total gained” “total lost” and “total spent” addition to the portfolio tab. Thank you again for this opportunity.

Cannot withdrawal funds

I dunno what’s going on but I was able to withdrawal $12 of my available $212 the first time I withdrew from my Coinbase account. Now when I try to withdrawal the rest of my USD wallet it says I have zero funds available. I’ve tried to send said funds to bank linked with Coinbase and I’ve also tried to send “instantly” with PayPal, and the same message pops up... “you currently only have $0.00 available”. This is funny (not really) because they list how much money I have available to withdrawal listed at the top of said menu on the iPhone app, but yet I get hit with this scary message over and over again on my iPhone and desktop computer. Oh well I’m glad it’s not upwards of $25,000 like my account says I can withdrawal if I had that amount. Guess Coinbase taught me a $200 lesson.

***UPDATE: I eventually (on my own) found where I could get some information on how long it would take for my account to be verified from my initial deposit to withdraw the funds in my account. I logged onto Coinbase from my MacBook Pro and went to the withdrawal page and clicked the question mark next to the “available balance “ print and it let me know how long I had until I could withdraw my funds. They should really put this information somewhere blatant so customers like myself aren’t panicking just an F.Y.I. Also giving 4stars just because this should be adjusted for the future. Other than that the interface is flawless.
