Conclusion

StormX presents a basic, yet powerful, use case – rewards. This is very appealing to the masses who are using crypto for the first time and would not like to get into the technical and complex part of crypto. The application is easy to understand has a lot of options. However, we feel that a lot of effort is needed to play the games and installing applications, but the reward to effort ratio is pretty low. This app is good for starters.

Kindly note that the article is updated on October 11, 2020 to include the latest features supported by the platform.
