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.

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.
