Coinbase: Buy Bitcoin & Ether

The sign up bonuses are a complete scam. I followed one of the two sign-up bonuses links to create my account, met all of the requirements and then never received anything. I have spent a total of approximately 6 hours over the last few weeks speaking to tech support. They just give you the run-around and then supposedly "elevate" you to the next level of support, which never contacts you. At this point, it's not even worth the effort to pursue, which I assume is thier end goal.

The app is a bit clunkier than the pc browser experience, but it does have more "learn and earn" options (I guess the browser version hasn't been updated in some time). Coinbase is beginner friendly, but the trading fees are kind of high. It's not bad but it's not the best. I'd still recommend for beginners.

The app is a little confusing to use now that it changed slightly. But, it updates transactions quickly. It only tells you your purchase amount using the debit card, not where you shopped. Crypto is easy to buy and the rates are all listed to help you make a decision. I wish it gave a warning when it your balance is low. It us easy to transfer money into your account. I like the learn section if the app.

Overall it's easy to use and I do like One since it is worth the money considering how I usually make frequent, small transfers of LTC. But I can't understand how out of all the payment methods I have set up I can only use PayPal. My order limit for my debit cards and bank account is always at $0.00, and my requests for a higher limit are either getting ignored or denied (I don't hear back about it). I suppose I will have to keep using PayPal, but would rather be able to use my debit card.

I can't sign in. The app on first launch gives you an intro screen to either open an account, browse, or up in the top corner, to sign in. Upon selecting the option to sign in, it opens an in-app browser which takes you to the coinbase website to sign in. I've jumped through all the hoops several times, verifying, with glitches galore like multiple sent requests, to use an email link to verify. Once that actually works, you get a spinning wheel of death. Long story short, I can't sing into app.

User friendly to buy and sell crypto. But using this app for about 3 years, the downsides start growing as you start growing. The use of advanced charts help but their system for your porfoilio is lacking. (The display for gain, loss, avg cost, weird graph display, the list can go on) Some features seem to get laggy over extended periods of time or high volume on high traffic days. The app i believe is great for people who want to get their feet wet in crypto. Just lacks efficient display.

Opened account before the whole verification process was mandatory. Don't like that I need to send in a photo of my driver's license and then record a video of myself just to be able to log in to get my W2s. I should have been given the option to transfer money out and get mailed my tax documents and close my account without sending this to them. I understand verification security but I would have never signed up if this was required to begin with.

Can't imagine trading with this app. I use advanced trader mode to monitor only. Latest update removed mini charts from watchlist (Was same as desktop browser). Watchlist/pair list can't be sorted by gain, price, or name anymore. Order book and depth charts still aren't adjustable. 8 seconds lag when loading charts on 5g wifi. It doesn't swipe to next in list like Webull. You have to exit and wait for it to load again. Simple mode has better stats on holdings, so you have to switch modes.

This app has always been very slow and lagging. Also, the fees for buying or selling coins are a lie. It may say .99 cents, but they will always take at least $4.99 per transaction. However, I was putting up with all the bs until today, when the app crashed completely. I cannot open the app at all, it's just plain blue screen. Now I can't even access my account! It's time to switch to a different platform.

For the past 2 months this app is basically unusable for spot trading. Clicking buy or sell results in lag and a wait of 1-2 minutes before a window pops up, then it takes another minute for any box selected to prompt the keyboard, then another laggy slow struggle to input numbers, then if all that works the system often crashes completely. This is basically unusable and my funds are going to other apps now sadly. No one can trade with these circumstances, it is broken.

It lacks the clarity, especially when buying. E.g. why is price to buy a crypto higher than the one shown on home screen - it's not clear where the difference is coming from. Notifications are a mess. In Android app settings I cannot set only certain notifications I would like to receive, the names of notifications are identical and they say nothing. In app itself I cannot set notifications for specific values of certain currencies.

I like the earlier versions of Coinbase a lot better actually. They weren't nearly as reliant on the influence, use or interfacing of other connected platforms. One stop one shop is more my theory. If it is connected and does something great, awesome, doesn't mean I want to have to interface and have to learn everybody new platforms just to move and keep my money secure while earning all potential profits available to me at every moment. Calculate and make and trade for those moments.

very good app to manage your cryptocurrency. Easy to navigate. Id say a major drawback is that the price your shown is slightly inflated when you purchase, on top of the fee you pay to coin base. Example, it shows 48 cents but when you go to purchase its at 50. like its always that way. so missing some transparency there. but over all happy. theres good money to be made by the bold here.

This latest update is horrible. I too am having issues with glitches trying to get basic info such as price graphs, much less trying to complete trades in the moment. The worse part of the upgrade that needs to come back is the feature that allowed you to see the execution price of the trade without having to find the order and open it. Please bring back the execution price in the summaries.

I've enjoyed trading on Coinbase since 2018. Back then I didn't mind how primitive the mobile options were, however the current version of the app is a step down from versions I've seen last year. My portfolio is not showing me a line graph for my daily P/L or my lifetime P/L like it used to. I also find the app a lot less intuitive, than it has been in previous versions, and I don't feel confident making any trades other than market buys from my app.

I have several issues: 1. I can no longer see my all-time balances, which has now slowed me down because I have to click each assest individually; 2. the app now makes us switch to Advanced for spot trades, but you can't see your other holdings, whereas before everything was in one place, and 3. I can't apply for the USDC crypto card. It will not allow me to put in my address or mailing address. I tried using my desktop as well. Customer service was of no help at all. Not as user friendly.

The structure of your data changes without explanation: Under 'My Assets,' I like to see the gain or loss percentage accompanied by the current price. Now (and this has happened several times), I see the balance I own of each coin and the quantity of coins. This appears to change on a whim and is not an option in the settings. When it changes this way, I have to select each asset to see if I have lost or gained. It was nice to see, at a glance, the current condition of the market.
