If you searched "is CoinTracker safe" or "CoinTracker scam," you want a straight answer, not marketing copy. Here it is: CoinTracker doesn't ask for your email, your phone number, or an account of any kind. Below is exactly what the app does and doesn't collect, straight from its own Privacy Policy, plus a few honest reasons the name alone can raise questions.

You may be thinking of a different company

There's a much larger, unrelated company also called CoinTracker — a crypto tax and accounting platform at cointracker.io. If you were looking for a tax tool, that's probably who you want; it isn't affiliated with this app in any way. This site, cointracker.cash, is a separate, independently run cryptocurrency portfolio tracker for iPhone and Android that's been live since 2017. Two products sharing a common name is a real, if unglamorous, reason searches like "cointracker review" or "what is cointracker" turn up mixed results — it isn't evidence either one is a scam.

What CoinTracker actually collects

Straight from the app's Privacy Policy:

  • No account, no personal information. Registering isn't necessary to track your portfolio. The app does not collect your email address, phone number, or any social account details.

  • No access to your contacts or social accounts. The app does not read your phonebook or connect to your social media accounts.

  • Standard usage data only. Like most apps, it collects basic log data — device type, OS version, and how the app is used — to keep it working and improve it over time. This data isn't tied to your name or identity, because the app never collects one.

  • Nothing sold to third parties. Individual usage data isn't sold, rented, or traded. Aggregated, non-identifying statistics may be shared for general analysis, but never your specific portfolio or activity.

On the device itself, CoinTracker adds an optional layer of its own: Touch ID and passcode protection, so your portfolio view is locked to you even if someone else picks up your phone.

Who's behind it

CoinTracker isn't an anonymous project. It's been publicly listed on the Apple App Store since 2017, has a public reviews page on SourceForge, and lists a real contact email (appcointracker@gmail.com) on every page of this site, including the About page. None of that guarantees a good app, but it's the opposite of how a scam site usually behaves — scams tend to hide contact details and avoid public review platforms, not publish them.

What real users say

A few of the reviews CoinTracker has received, unedited:

  • "Was looking for a different app to couple with Blockfolio because some of the cryptos listed aren't the best for quick analysis and am happy with this."

  • "Thank you. I really like your app. It is simple, not overwhelming, very clear. I try few other, but I really like yours. I wake up and go sleep with it."

  • "I have looked everywhere for an app that gives me profits and losses. This does exactly that."

You can read more on the app's SourceForge reviews page, or see it for yourself — there's no account required to try it.

CoinTracker for iOS is free to start, with the 25 most popular cryptocurrencies included at no cost.
