Not a good experience so far. Bitcoin lightning is nowhere near ready for prime-time use. I thought the whole reason for lightning was for fast transactions. When I made a purchase from my lightning wallet it just showed payment in transition for over 72hrs. Edit: The sats ended up coming back to my wallet on day 4. Moving to a different wallet. I don't recommend this one. Edit: BlueWallet development has come a long way. It's getting better and better.

Hi Jerrold, sorry about your experience. Totally true, lightning is far from being ready for prime-time and it does fails some times, or a lot of times...
Please send an email, so we can look at your problem. bluewallet@bluewallet.io

Blue wallet freezes or crashes frequently on my pixel phone. I noticed several other reviews indicating similar experiences. I saw a feedback from support to disable Tor. This does help however if you want to connect to your own lightning node, it won't work with Tor disabled, which is my use case. If they fix these issues I think this would be a good wallet. Hope this helps others.

Hi there, you can now deactivate the native Tor and use the orbot app for Tor connections instead. Thanks for the feedback.

Blue Wallet does a tremendous job of making Bitcoin and it's accompanying free and open source payment system, lightning network, accessible and easy to use for everyone. The interface is intuitive, and easy to step through. For a complete novice, maybe it guides you on how to create one of three different types of wallets, and then easily transfer money into them, see balances and send and receive payments. It also urges users to safeguard their wallet keys, which is super important. Great app.
