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.

Pretty much unusable. You have to use the in-app keyboard which guesses which letters come next in your seed phrase and blocks out the others so you can't click them. But it apparently doesn't have an extensive list of words because it blocks off letters that would lead to a legit word. The app also crashes constantly and doesn't recognize when you've pasted something, so you can't go to the next screen.

I was once able to add money to electrum and then send it to where I wanted it to go. Now I have to go through this ridiculous mess of swaps. Forward swaps, lightning,reverse swaps. Then my funds are insufficient because of all the fees incurred with these stupid swaps. Can anybody tell me how to get my money out of this madness and into a better wallet that looks like electric used to? I don't use it much I don't think much I don't need all the complications. Help!
