About Ripple Price
A simple widget - not application - which shows current value of XRP in BTC and selected FIAT currency.
It is possible to swap currency pairs and see both:
- XRP per fiat currency - example: XRP per USD
- Fiat currency per XRP - example: USD per XRP
As a source of quotations the following can be selected at the moment:
- BitcoinCharts.com - to get average price
- Justcoin.com - norwegian exchange
Supported FIAT currencies at the moment: USD,EUR,CNY,GBP,PLN,JPY,CHF,CAD,AUD,RUB,SEK,NOK
USING:
It is a widget, so it doesn't show up in your application tray, but only in the widget tray. Settings screen open, when widget is added to screen. You can select data source / exchange, fiat currency and price format. Once settings are finished press "Let's start"
Once widget is added to screen you can:
- tap once to refresh prices
- tap twice to open settings
Prices refresh automatically every 30 minutes as well - it doesn't seem to be possible to refresh more often automatically.
Asterix indicates that price has been estimated by converting the value from USD to selected FIAT currency.
If you appreciate the support of widget in pricing tracking, please consider sending small donation in XRP which would be clearly supportive for further development:

Known issues/problems:
- Value of XRP in selected FIAT currency should be visible below icon representing XRP. If value of XRP is not shown in FIAT currency, then you might need to refresh by clicking once- sometimes the exchange rate is not correctly fetched from external service. This issue must be secured better in one of next releases.
- after restarting device widget might not load properly immediately (you can recognise it, because widget is black and says 'loading...'), so refreshing by taping once or opening settings and pressing 'Let's start!' might be needed, if you want to see prices immediately. Alternatively, you can wait until widget refreshes automatically next time.
- BitcoinCharts.com might be sometimes unavailable - it has happened at least one so far. In such a situation widget works incorrectly as data source is unavailable. In one of next releases I will improve error handling, so that other data sources/exchanges can still work.
Application has been only tested on Samsung Galaxy S2 and in emulator. Therefore please let me know, if you find any problem by reporting to email (rippleprice@gmail.com) before you give any negative evaluation in store.
