Honestly I've never heard of the Coin Wallet nor have I hear it being mentioned here as a good option. I would suggest to just stick with the proven names and models.
I didn't know about it too, until it was suggested to me as a good alternative of blockchain.com wallet. It hasn't all the features you might want in a wallet but it seems solid enough to be used for small amounts storage and daily use.
I didn't find negative reviews about it and here is some of my notes after creating a btc wallet :
If you need those wallets, don't let Blockchain.com be the first choice, but there are some more reliable alternatives like https://coin.space/.
More reliable means better, right?
Actually, i don't know too much about alternatives to blockchain.com . The one you mentioned seems promising as a multi-currency web_wallet; it supports btc, xrp, bch, ltc, eth, and many other Erc20 tokens. Am only interested in bitcoin and this wallet might be a good option so i have just created a new btc wallet, here some notes:
- Segwit not supported.
- Automatically use what they called "smart fees" as the custum fees option is only available for Ethereum.
- Using both Shapeshift and Changelly to process swaps. Both are forcing KYC
What is different from blockchain.com? The only thing i noted is it doesn't require an identity registration to open a wallet like in blockchain.com but there is a field for a personal profile where you can add information and image (i don't know what this serves for.
Note: i always recommend to not use an online wallet whatever the reasons.

By reading all the replies here, am convinced that Coinomi is one of the fewest good option to store different coins. I wanna take the chance and ask about two wallets and if am missing anything about them:
TrustWallet (desktop/mobile), owned by binance exchange but has a lot of free opened features and private keys are locally generated. There is no bad reviews about this wallet and seems solid enough.
Coin wallet (mobile), it's mainly a web based wallet but am referring here to the mobile client (never use online wallets), it's a friendly use wallet with some exited features as a multi-coin wallet : https://coin.space/  I think it's perfect for small storage and daily use.

What do you think about them? Would you recommend them for safe use ?

you should give exodus a try too Smiley

Trust Wallet is an open source wallet and you should be OK when using it. I remember it has been mentioned on the forum a few times but not in any negative contest. Honestly I've never heard of the Coin Wallet nor have I hear it being mentioned here as a good option. I would suggest to just stick with the proven names and models.

what about coinomi? Is it the same case - we have to trust what they say or is it possible to verify if the ownership of the keys?

More or less what TryNinja said. coinomi uses standard BIP32 for generating keys.

I use coinomi and like it. Just keep the following in mind:

There have been reports of people getting "hacked" and loosing significant amounts. BUT, (AND THIS IS IMPORTANT IMO):
1) There has never been any independent verification of that by trusted people.
2) At least one of the claims has been proven false.
3) There are many people (myself included) that have at times has a lot of money in both the phone and desktop wallet for a period of time with no issues.

The other side:
1) Parts are closed source so you really don't know what they are doing.
2) The desktop version for Windows (can't comment on other OS) uses browsercore64.exe which is the open source web browser created by Google. So take that info as you will
3) Since it is BIP32 you can have the exact same wallet on your phone and desktop and laptop. Which is really handy, until it's not. Yes, you can do that with any BIP32 but I have seen it more with coinomi. Which is great till something goes wrong. Was your laptop compromised? Did your kids at home do something?

For real money you are best off with a good hardware wallet. Which one is best is a loooong discussion with lots of arguments here.
For having Doge and some ETH and some LTC and some DASH and... all together knowing that there is some risk (you have to determine what your acceptable risk level is) then I think coinomi is great.

You own your coins with Coinomi. The keys are generated from the seed you generate when creating the wallet, and you can use that in any other BIP32 wallet or mnemonic converter. It's not a custodial wallet.

but the private keys are still kept on the device right? and the creators have no access to them whatsoever?

That's what they claimed, but there's no way to verify it while the software is closed source.

But at least i haven't heard someone lost their coin while using Exodus without clear reason (e.g. malware, hacked computer, etc.)

Some of the libraries/components they use are open source (forked) but that's about it, the wallet itself is not and I doubt it will ever be with their current business model.

Exodus wallet is ok to use. It's available for both desktop and mobile users, with over 26 coins plus some other ERC-20 tokens and they recently just included Cosmos(ATOM) into the mobile wallet. Exodus also have a swap feature in it.

OP, hope you understand that you're automatically not the owner of every coin saved in a wallet which you're not the holder of it private keys.

You need a wallet that you only has the private key of phrase. Therefore, you can consider imtoken wallet. It is an erc20 wallet and also enabled for bitcoin, cosmos, EOS .

Best thing is not to keep all your coins in just one wallet.
I prefer Ledger hardware wallet, and if you have more altcoins you may need Ledger Nano X.
I noticed reduced memory space in latest Nano S updates.

Using the same wallet that others recommend. It doesn't have any single issue since I used it. Using it as my storing wallet for long term trades. Holding a major amount of eth and bitcoins.
I'm using coinomi too for small quantity altcoin. Coinomi is the one I use on every transaction. Been using it for years and I'm happy that I migrate to coinomi from my old wallet.

I’ve downloaded and tried out a few multi-coin wallets for my PC, but I didn’t care for them—Jaxx and Exodus were among them.  I don’t own many altcoins but I just wanted to try them out anyway.  When I was messing around with faucets, I did use Coinomi on my phone and I loved it.  Very easy to use and they support a ton of coins.

I would recommend to buy a ledger nano S. I have been using it since they launch and never had any issue. Here you can check the coins you can have in a Ledger wallet: https://shop.ledger.com/pages/supported-crypto-assets

I absolutely agree with you here.  After using a Ledger, I’ll never go back to one of those sucky wallets for my computer.  I think the security is much greater, and I love the look of Ledger Live as well as the hardware itself.  Very sexy, IMO.  And though I don’t keep any coins on my phone anymore, I do believe the Nano X has the bluetooth thing so you can check your balance with a smartphone.  Maybe that’ll be my next purchase.

Some of the best multi-crypto wallets are: Ledger Nano S, KeepKey, Jaxx Liberty, Trezor, Exodus, Atomic wallet and Coinomi etc. I came across this article where you can find all the list of best multicurrency wallets.

If you cannot afford a hardware wallet, your best solution would be HODLER wallet. It's the only multicurrency open-source wallet out there, so everything happens locally and connecting to your own should also be doable, If not through GUI, then by changing the source code.

As for what the other suggested, it's worth mentioning that other wallets such as Coinomi, Exodus, and Jaxx claim that your info is never sent to their servers, but that's not something you can verify as they're not open source.
After checking the wallet you mentioned, I love the concept of the wallet but their site seems not be going through though you. However, you didn't say anything about the wallet holder being the holder of the private keys because a wallet been an open-source doesn't make it a secure wallet.

The OP is a newbie. Therefore, I somehow don't support the part of using the coinomi as a wallet because of the previous situations of the wallet accusation

Coinomi's problems were with the desktop wallet, not the mobile version. The mobile version is not open source so people should be cautious with it but I'm happy to store some junk in there.

The best thing to do is to stay away from such wallet because of nothing guarantee that the mobile version of the wallet won't be next to have a problem and like you said its not open source.

BTW is there a thread dedicated to Trust wallet? I have a question on it : how do you find your private keys for your BEP2 addresses?   Huh  Huh Does anyone know that?

There are a couple[1][2] of threads but looks abandoned. If you need support, I suggest reaching out to them through Discord or Telegram (be careful though, scammers will start to reach out to you as soon as you join the group).

Another wallet you can use is Trust wallet... It's Open source and an Official Binance wallet (which means it's good enough) - https://www.binance.com/en/support/articles/360010790652

I have used it for a while now with problems at all, It's very user friendly and supports a wide range of coins including Ether and all ERC20,ERC721 tokens, BNB coin and all BEP2 tokens plus other blockchains. More info here: https://trustwallet.com/assets

Trust wallet is available only in mobile versions.
