I just love Bitcoin and this app makes my transactions much easier. More SATs
★★★★★Will Wohler· Sep 24, 2026
Easy to use. Payments almost NEVER fail. Lightning fees are quite low - but On-chain are NOT -- both for Send, AND Receive below a substantial minimum (receive) amount.
★★★★★Denver Mtange· Jul 7, 2026
Best lightning wallet, so bullish that we have a noncustodial wallet now🥳🥳
★★★★☆Dirty Minded· Apr 6, 2026

★☆☆☆☆darcanjo_· Sep 17, 2025
I had THE WORST experience with this wallet. It's actually outrageous and insane the amount of problems it gave me. It has hidden transaction limits, I cannot wipe my wallet, I cannot find routes to pay to other wallets, I linked my telegram and my balance vanished, just to find out it was in another account. My funds are basically locked, I can't do anything with it. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUPID. Absolutely don use it, go with mun, WoS, anything but this
