Ratings and reviews

I've downloded the wallet today and it looks really nice. Easy to use, you can also earn a few sats by learning about bitcoin which is nice, I've withdrawn the bitcoin easily, The app works perfectly... I suggest trying this app out

The best custodial Bitcoin wallet. The stablesats service is great and unique solution to avoid the short term fluctuations of the Bitcoin price.

The ability to protect SATs from volatility is a great innovation
