Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

It might feel rough around the edges, interface is not the best one I've seen but it's simple and it works. You get your private key, it updates wallet/Blockchain fine. There is no adds. No one is trying to sell you their financial products or get you to open account on their exchange. It's just a simple easy to use bitcoin wallet.
