Editors’ Review
As its name suggests, Blockchain - Bitcoin Wallet for iPhone is a digital wallet for storing Bitcoin and Ether funds and for handling related transactions. Gain access to an existing wallet or create a new one in the app.
Pros
Easy signup: An email and password enable you to create a wallet. Then just verify your email via an email link.
Secure: You're instructed to create a 4-digit pin to use to unlock your wallet. Don't forget it because it can't be reset without first unlocking the Blockchain app. You can also add Touch ID as another layer of protection. Should you lose your password, the app will provide a 12-word recovery phrase. But make sure you write it down and put it somewhere safe.
Bitcoin and Ether tracker: On the default dashboard, you'll see the current Bitcoin value. You'll also see a chart that reveals how the cryptocurrency's value has fluctuated over the day, week, month, or year. Toggle the above tab to Ether to view the same data for the digital bearer asset. You'll also see your balances on the dashboard.
Send and request funds: Tap the Send button on the bottom rail to send Bitcoin or Ether. Just enter your recipient's address and intended amount, and accept the nominal transaction fee. You can also request Bitcoin or Ether by tapping the Request button on the bottom rail. You can then request payment by email or text.
Transaction tracking: You can view all of your previous Transactions by tapping the Transactions button on the bottom rail.
Bitcoin merchants: Tap Bitcoin Merchant Map under the main menu and enable location tracking, and the app will provide the nearest businesses that accept Bitcoin on an easy-to-read map. What's more, each business type is color-coded, so you can quickly differentiate between cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, and more.
Cons
Pay more for faster service: Since the Bitcoin network regularly experiences higher traffic, you can expect longer confirmation times for your transactions. To get to the front of the line, you'll need to accept higher transaction fees.
