Cointelegraph is Crowdfunding its First Smartphone App

Published at: July 16, 2014

An increasing majority of Cointelegraph readers view our stories on mobile devices, and we want to make it a better reading experience for them.

A dedicated mobile app will allow users to access their favorite content with one tap and, therefore, will streamline the user experience, improve the visual appearance and functionality of the website on mobile devices and, most importantly, will make your favorite cryptocurrency news website look and feel the way it was intended by bypassing mobile web browsers.

That’s why we have created an IndieGoGO campaign to crowdfund the development of a state-of-the-art app for both iOS and Android platforms. The price tag will be a little more than US$3,000 to get these apps developed, tested and released in the app stores. And anyone who can help us raise that cash will get our eternal gratitude, plus some swag and attention for you or your business.

Here are our available perks:

The campaign will run from July 15 - August 9, 2014.

Finally, if you cannot donate directly to the campaign, you can still help us reach our goal by sharing our crowdfunding page or:

- Like our community page on Facebook and invite your friends;

- Follow us on Twitter;

- Use the Indiegogo share tools

For more information about contributing to our campaign, go to the IndieGoGo page.

We would like to thank all of our readers in advance for your support!
