Ratings and reviews

Absolutely brilliant app! Best on the market if you want security and privacy and one you can store on your (any) device and offline! Please don't pay attention to all these poor reviews as these people are beginners who want everything on a silver platter and won't be happy until the app does the work for them while they're asleep! It takes a short while to learn, but when you have, it blows all competition out of the water! Electrum is safe, smooth & rapid! Highly recommended!

Great wallet. Been using it for a long time and I have never switched. I will be looking at others just to compare to this one, and I may just stick with it unless I find one better. I know theres been some vulnerability issues in the past and some people lost their crypto, but I know its been fixed since then. I guess I'll have to do some homework. Been a while since I looked into it a new/good wallet, recommendations for another are welcome. But I also recommend this to wallet to others.

App have an issues with synchronisation lately it may take couple of minutes for balance to show, other then that it's a good app. I'm using it because of security and it's simplicity. Have a full control over addresses and private keys. Edit: App synchronisation is way better now 👌 If you have more wallets in app would be nice to see the option to manage which wallet you wish to enter before entering password. Right now I have to enter password on last used wallet and switch to another one.
