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.

Great app but should have some minor updates to make it easier to use. For example: 1. It is a pain to copy-paste information when sending and you have to keep going back and forth. 2. The information about unconfirmed transactions should be updated frequently so that you wouldn't need to keep closing and reopening the app just to see how much longer you need to wait till the transaction clears.
