Ratings and reviews

I've been using electrum as my go to software wallet and its features are great but the mobile app is full of bugs. It freezes and crashes quite often, the keyboard won't load at times, it won't let me go back to a previous page without restarting and now I cannot create a new wallet. It worked ok for a year or so but it seems to be getting worse.

Electrum is simply the best and most straightforward Bitcoin wallet out there. It’s highly reliable, secure, and gets the job done perfectly. However, the interface is starting to feel a bit outdated. It really needs a modern look and feel to match its excellent functionality. Still a 5-star app for its core features!

Absolutely brilliant app! Best on the market if you want security and privacy and one you can store on your (any) device and offline! Please don't pay attention to all these poor reviews as these people are beginners who want everything on a silver platter and won't be happy until the app does the work for them while they're asleep! It takes a short while to learn, but when you have, it blows all competition out of the water! Electrum is safe, smooth & rapid! Highly recommended!
