OpenSea has launched its first ever app and it can be downloaded by both iOs and Android devices.
The app of the popular NFT marketplace allows users to manage their NFTs, view the platform's digital collections, and even share listings.
It, however, is missing one very important element when it comes to NFTs. If you are looking to buy NFTs using the app, that is not possible to do as of press time.

OpenSea App: What Not to Expect
There is, however, one important element missing in OpenSea's first ever app. According to a report by The Verge, the app "notably doesn't allow for any kind of money to change hands, digital or otherwise."
That simply means that you cannot buy NFTs on the app. You can view popular NFT collections such as CryptoPunks and ogle at the cuteness of the Pudgy Penguins NFTs, but you cannot buy one for yourself using the OpenSea app.
According to the report by The Verge, this might be due to the fact that "OpenSea's payments are frequently in Ethereum, which currently isn't supported as an in-app payment method on either platform."
The Verge also added that it may also be because "OpenSea probably doesn't want to share a 30 percent cut of NFT transactions with the likes of Apple and Google."
OpenSea said in its announcement that the app is still improving and the company welcomes feedback. Users can share feedback via the comments section of their announcement video on YouTube and through Discord.
