In version 5.0 the Satoshi Bitcoin Converter went open source. You can view the code at github.com/crrdlx/satoshi-bitcoin-converter
Being open source is a good thing. Anyone can review the code to check that it's honest. Anyone can submit a pull request (PR) to help make the code better.
However, since that upgrade, some have reported issues. Particularly, it seems some are getting the "Loading current price..." status. If the app loads but this appears, it usually means there's a connection error to the internet. Beyond that, it's a bit of a mystery.
I do not believe these issues have anything to do with the code being open source though. I think it has to do with the fact that the Google Play store mandates that apk files (the app file type) must target newer Android operating systems. I think this leaves some people hanging out to dry. So...
Having trouble with the app?
...if you're having troubles with the app...
Try an older version, particularly version 4.7.1 That was the last version before the 5.0 upgrade.
v4.7.1 can be downloaded at keybase.pub/crrdlx/
You know it's me, crrdlx, the developer of the Satoshi Bitcoin Converter app because keybase cross-verifies that I actually am crrdlx (twitter, GitHub, reddit).
If you have the 5.0 version installed:
1. uninstall the 5.0 app version first
2. download the apk from the link above
3. install the apk (it may ask for permission, grant permission)
4. it should work again
Also, it would help me if you replied here with a little information:
1. What version of the app were you using? (see "About" on the app)
2. What version of Android version do you have? (see "Settings" --> "About device" --> something like 6.0.1)
3. What are the symptoms? (e.g.: "The app opens up, but price is stuck on 'Loading...'")
