Bitcoin Express
Bitcoin Express ( BTC Express ) was an iOS thin client for Bitcoin transactions.
Bitcoin Express connected users to the bitcoin network quickly without downloading any blocks or headers. Once connected, you could do transactions immediately.
The project was announced on July 24, 2011[1].
Although the app was submitted, it was ultimately not listed on the App Store because the submission was rejected by Apple, who said that the bitcoin-related functions are not legal in all locations where the app is available.[2]
Users have reported that the app was not working as early as September 28, 2011, when the relay server stopped being accessible.[3]
