They'll probably be using zigzag's API because they already have an exchange for that purpose. If you check Bluewallet's website, you'll see that the feature is coming soon:

it could be help me to exchange LN to HD wallet using zigzag. 15K satoshi fee for that and 300 satoshi minimum have to left on blue wallet, can't be withdraw maximum like electrum wallet ussually.

how about trustwallet? https://trustwallet.com/

Just gave it a try, like every multi crypto wallet, it's pretty basic when it comes to the settings.

I am using edge. It is a very simple multicurrency mobile wallet. Until today, more them 6 months, everything is working fine. But I only send small values. And I do not use as storage. I think a wallet like edge could be easy used as a day to day wallet to walking on street.

I've already come across the wallet while searching for Lightning network apps. I will give it a try even though I'm more of dark themes fan.

Why not use Eclair mobile? It can act as a normal Bitcoin wallet and accept Lightning Network payments since the last update. It lacks some advanced features such as coin control and adjusting settings related to the change address. However, I didn't have any problems with fee estimation and on-chain Bitcoin transactions so far.

I haven't been looking into Android wallets until now because I bought a new phone. I'm not willing to go with Jaxx, Coinomi and these multi-coin wallets that are closed source. Any thoughts?

I was thinking about Mycelium but I'm not sure whether It's still a good option or not yet. I have heard about them going to implement SegWit and I don't know if that's done yet or not. I also know they used to have problems on the estimation of the fees etc.

I know about Samourai as well, and I don't like the UI to be honest and I also read somewhere that they made a bold move by basically remove the fiat price of BTC in the app which leaves the user clueless and could lead to mistakes.

Open sourced doesn`t to 100% safety and doesn`t mean it must be more secure than a wallet that not open-sourced. Because open source means that more people can act as monitors to ur code, but also gives ppl chance to figure out the mistake in your code.

Open source doesn't guarantee to have less security flaws.. but it doesn't need any trust into the developer anymore.
Anyone is free to investigate the source code. Verify, don't trust.

I wouldn't say that an open source software gives an opportunity to a malicious person. Security by obscurity is - and always was - a bad idea.
If you have vulnerabilities in your code, they will be found. Doesn't matter whether open source or not.
But, with open source you may have some good guy find the vulnerability.. in a closed source project you are almost guaranteed that the vulnerability is being found by a malicious person.

Also, a wallet that recommends by Bitcoin.org

Honestly, this alone shouldn't be a reason to trust a wallet software.
It's not necessary in bither's case anyway, but worth to be mentioned.

@OP
I would recommend mycelium. I am using it quite often and have nothing to complain about.

Okay, back to your require. My recommendation is the Bither wallet.
Bither is an open source wallet that supports Bitcoin SegWit address. Also, a wallet that recommends by Bitcoin.org
The Bither / Bitpie dev team has a very good reputation in China and their users never lost any coins in the past 5 years according to their announcement.

Electrum seems out of the question, to be honest just because of the interface. I think the remake of GreenBits from Blockstream looks like a good option when it comes to UI/UX. I couldn't find their source code though and even though Blockstream is very reputable, I don't think I would go with it. Can anyone give his review on that wallet? Right now, Mycelium seem to be the best solution since everyone mentioned that SegWit support is here and that bug has been fixed.

Haha okay. My personal review it is so far good to use it. In android, You can find 2FA, Multisig, SPV synchronization and exchange calc available on settings menu. Their default confirmation is in 6 blocks with average one hour. Then you can do sweep by scanning others easily. I may speaking options available there but for reviews I am searching about the best I know and sharing here its youtube link.

i can't give you any reviews because i don't use it but i can give you the link to its source code: https://github.com/blockstream/green_android which can be found inside this pull request here: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/2901/files
i would never use something like this though because i never trust anything that is being released by a centralized company!

I personally use the Edge[1] wallet on my android device. Yes, it's a custodial wallet and they don't give you access to your private keys, but I chose it simply because I love the UI. I'm completely aware of the risks I'm taking with it, but I don't hold much BTC on it anyway($50 maximum) so I'll be fine whenever something bad happens.

Back in the day when I was only holding like $100 worth of BTC, I used the Copay[2] app. It worked fine. Though I'm not sure how good/bad it is right now.

Why can't you go with the Electrum or Greenaddresss android wallet instead of Mycellium? So called mentioned are also a good option to have on your phone. You can modify the default fees in this wallets as well.
What is the special option we can have in Mycellium than this wallets?

if you look on the the "send transaction" screen, you get a LOT more options! Wink

Wow. Unfortunately I don't see that screen (I have watch-only wallet).
Annotated my previous post, to not mislead others. Thank you.

I do have Mycelium installed, but I use it watch-only, didn't actually make transactions with it.
However, the fees are not written as numbers, or at least I didn't find such a setting. The setting I've found allows you select between Low-Prio, Economic, Normal and Priority.

That's just the setting options for the fee range it will "default" to when you actually create a transaction (ie. the position of the "top" slider)... if you look on the the "send transaction" screen, you get a LOT more options! Wink

You can slide the top slider between the four "Low-Prio, Economic, Normal and Priority", and each of those has 6-8 fee options...

Unfortunately, it still seems to calculate the available options based on current fee rates... so you can end up with the "lowest" fee being higher than 1 sat/byte... I just took this screenshot now, and the lowest is 3 sats/byte Undecided

About the fees, I haven't used Mycelium for a while, but I'm pretty sure they allow you to customize your fees starting with 1 sat.

Really? I remember seeing a custom fee slide that went through almost every fee possible (from 1 to ~400), but I don’t have an Android anymore to double chrck.

That’s how it looked like:

Isn’t this available when you’re in the “Sending” screen?

edit: This happens to me because this is watch-only wallet. Better settings seem to be available in the Send screen.

Other than that... your options are somewhat limited... the Android version of Electrum is more of a "companion" wallet to be used alongside the Desktop version, rather than a "full" version of Electrum, as it is missing some key features (you can't import BIP39 seeds, doesn't support coin control, freezing addresses etc)

it kind of makes sense though. you don't really want those options on your phone because a bitcoin wallet on a portable device like a cell phone should only used for carrying "pocket money" for spending purposes not for things like importing your BIP39 seed in it.
