Binance
Binance is one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, and its mobile app is fully functional for both Android and iOS.

Feature: if you pay fees in BNB — Binance’s native token — you get up to 25% discount.
Bitfinex
Bitfinex stands out with high BTC/USD trading volume. The app supports cryptocurrency trading and fund deposits.
The list of supported assets is extensive: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, etc.
If you’re not from the US (Bitfinex doesn’t allow US citizen registration), the app might be a useful option.
Gate.io
Gate.io is an exchange that grew after registration restrictions on several other platforms.
On Gate.io you can trade BTC, ETH, USDT, QTUM, etc.
KuCoin
KuCoin is a relatively “young” exchange but actively growing.
Its website is fast, the interface is convenient. Own token — KCS.
The mobile app is intuitive: all popular coins and tokens are already available.
CEX
CEX (CEX.io) is one of those options where you can buy cryptocurrency directly using a credit/debit card.
Their mobile app for Android and iOS allows trading, depositing, and withdrawing funds directly from the app.
A limited set of cryptocurrencies is supported, which allows focusing on stability.
Additionally: Other Useful Apps
Koinly — not so much for trading, but for managing your crypto portfolio.
Connects to popular exchanges via API and shows your balance and asset movements.
Which Option to Choose?
If you need an app to work with multiple exchanges at once — 3Commas will be the best choice.
If you’re focused on direct trading on one platform — Binance offers the most balanced functionality and popularity.
At the same time — don’t forget to check if you can register and use certain apps in your region.
