What are my options?
How to watch lots of wallet addresses for new bitcoin transactions?

Here are a couple strategies I've used:
Run a bitcoin node: bitcoind has a -blocknotify flag you can run that will allow you to execute a command with each new block. You can then use JSON-RPC to query your node for all transactions/addresses in the block. It will take a bit of work to set this up, but it will work
Use a service: I've used https://www.blockcypher.com/ which works well, but it can be pricey. https://blockchainwebhooks.com is much more affordable, but not as many features.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions

If you want an android app to watch the balance of addresses, you can use Sentinal. It's created by the Samourai wallet guys, it's awesome.
