Ratings and reviews

The app has noticably improved as it's aged and does what it needs to, but still has a very strong "baby's first hardware wallet" feel to it. The price charts are squiggly lines with minimal detail and no option to switch to a candlestick graph or add extra details, which is confusing because most people who use hardware wallets would probably appreciate all the info they can get. The over-simplicity leaves much to be desired and forces you to use other apps to make up for its shortcomings.

To be honest I was a bit afraid of all the negative reviews. Granted I have not used the app extensively yet, but the basic features needed for pairing my Nano X, transferring my tokens and even swapping worked flawlessly. I also really enjoy Ledger's UX, especially on the desktop, and here it seems like it's progressing towards the same great UI/UX of their amazing desktop apps. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase of the Ledger Nano X and the experience that came with it. I would recommend.

I used to really like this app. I've been using ledger for years, but now they're doing too much. I just need a wallet, not a fully comprehensive digital store front builtin to attemp to get me to spend and use my money. They literally stuffed an exhange, credit card, and more into app when I just need it to store my money. Instead, they use it to advertise. They've lost my trust at this point. I'll be looking into alternatives.
