This is a very simple wallet that I have been using for years. It does not have many features like more modern wallets, but it does a very good job with its basic features.

Superb. I would like to see the paths it uses to derive, I intended to emulate original Bitcoin derivatives. M'/0'/0/. This seems to derive at m/44'/0'/0'/0

Great wallet. Gives you all the freedom and tools you need. The only problem I found is that when the "allow screenshots" option is turned off it doesn't allow screenshots of seed phrases, but you can still take screenshots of private keys. Would be great if it is resolved in the next update

Solid Bitcoin wallet with a long development history. But if you want easy access to lightning, Phoenix, Zeus, and bull wallet are all better choices and also self-custody.

Works like a charm with private keys, saves a lot of time, as you don't need to wait full Bitcoin Core wallet to fully sync. 10/10 ! GREAT

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!

Literally unusable. It makes me copy a 12 word seed phrase when creating a wallet, then re-enter it on the next screen. But the "next" button remains greyed out after entering it.

It's a scam wallet. I opened this wallet by request from Russian fishers. At first, they looked legit so added $100 and sent to my wallet back again. Then they asked me to put $1500, but I added for $500. So without my permission they sent my $500 to their wallets and deleted our chat. I don't know how they did it I neither didn't give them my key nor password. Probably this wallet already been hacked, so they did it though console or something. So stay away guys
