Coinbase has announced the launch of a mobile app for Coinbase Pro, the exchange's trading platform for advanced traders.

According to Coinbase, a Coinbase Pro mobile app has been one of the most requested features. "That’s because, until now, our customers have had to make a choice: usability or mobility," Coinbase notes in its announcement.

The Coinbase Pro app will initially only be available for iOS devices, however, Coinbase plans to release an Android app "soon." Trading fees on the Coinbase Pro app will be identical to its desktop platform.

Coinbase recently announced an increase in its trading fees. Prior to the fee hike, the firm charged 0.15% maker fees and 0.25% taker fees. The new fees are 0.5% for both makers and takers.
