User reviews

Users appreciate CryptoTicker by Coinigy for providing customizable real-time crypto price updates and integration with the Coinigy trading platform, especially useful for experienced traders. However, most reviews highlight critical issues: the extension often fails to work, struggles with API key setup, and appears abandoned due to no updates since 2017. Many users experience persistent bugs, ineffective data loading, and lack of support, severely limiting usability. While the concept and platform are praised, the extension's poor maintenance and technical problems outweigh its advantages for many.
Pros
  • Supports a wide range of cryptocurrency symbols and exchanges via Coinigy.com
  • Provides real-time or near real-time cryptocurrency price updates
  • Useful for advanced traders familiar with API integration
  • Allows monitoring favorite currencies from the browser without full platform login
  • Supports technical analysis with Coinigy platform integration
Cons
  • Many users report the extension does not work or fails to load data, often stuck on 'Waiting for next data pulse'
  • The extension appears abandoned with no updates since 2017 and deprecated API usage
  • Difficult or impossible API key setup leading to failure in functionality
  • Poor and unresponsive customer support, leading to unresolved user issues
  • Buggy performance with frequent credential resets and unreliable data polling

i believe this project has been abandoned but they haven't removed it for some reason. it's still advertised on coinigy's site to install this app, but it hasn't been updated since 2017, and there aren't reviews much after that. could not figure out how to use the API key on the app once it was installed in chrome, but the old API version is deprecated and is being discontinued by the end of 2021. pretty sure API v1 is what this uses. anyway, it never showed up in chrome and the documentation links go to a dead site but another link goes to the API v1 docs. four years since an update. it seems dead to me. Coinigy should probably remove the links or clarify what is going on.

I just love Coinigy but what new traders don't understand is that Coinigy is not an exchange like Binance, Bittrex, etc. It is a trading platform that is meant to give you more statistical data analysis. You import your API from your exchanges and it lays out the data so much better. I use it to lay down strategies for certain pairs as the indicators are a lot more advanced. For instance my favorite strategy is RSI combined with Bollinger Bands. I usually lay it out on a 30 minute chart, Coinigy allows you to draw out patterns so you can check for any RSI divergence that can lead to a fall in price. This basically allows you to make smarter trades and i can tell you that ever since i been using Coinigy i've been in the green 85% to 90% of the time with barley any losses. I contribute this to experience and also how Coinigy allows you to lay out charts in a more advanced and technical manner. Basically Coinigy is for more advanced traders that know what they are doing. Thank you COINIGY!!!

Doesn't work for me when I add the API/secret/private channel ID. So, I go to the tutorial to find out what I'm doing wrong, and the freskdesk site says "your account has been blocked!" soo....... ??
