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 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.

After I sent my first deposit, which I assumed would not incur a transaction fee by the receiver (Blue Wallet), a monstrous fee was displayed. Of course I could not write a favourable review! After the transaction finalized, there was no fee deducted. Confused. Anyway, updated to 4 stars with fingers crossed concerning the Lightning Network.

Hi there. The fees onchain are defined by the users. On Lightning which is still an experimental feature, the fees are defined between 0.3% and 1% which is relatively low compared to what the nodes on the network are charging, at the moment up to 5%.
Thank you
