I don't do a lot of mobile transactions, but when I do I use coinbase. However I have been selling quit a bit recently at a local ATM and I really don't like transferring my coin to coinbase just for the sake of mobility. So my question is what are some good android based wallets? That question also brought to mind that there are reviews here on all sorts of hardware, but from what I have found there is no thread on wallet review pros/cons like there are with other things. Anyway, thanks for any suggestions.



Currently I use coinbase too.

I ended up going with Bitcoin Wallet for android. Thanks for all the responses... I haven't went to bitcoin.org in a while and never would of thought to check there.

my favourite mobile wallets are as follows :-

1.  used to like blockchain but they've been promising an update for the longest time to support HD and its still not out, so I've stopped using it until they do.

2.  My favourite is currently AirBitz on both iOS and Android because its easy to use, feels very secure, and it has good ways of authorising new devices (i use multiple mobile devices).  it claims some easy to use two factor auth as well.  of all the wallets I've tried on mobiles recently, this one seems to have the most going for it.

3.  for offline wallets I'm a big fan of the Trezor, and so far the only wallet software I've seen that lets you use the Trezor in a mobile environment is Mycelium (at least on Android), so thats a big vote for mycelium.

4.  Ledger Wallet is doing some very interesting work on mobile wallets.. i especially like the effort they're doing on trustlets.   Their beta of the wallet that runs in the trusted platform (trustonics) looks very interesting.  Promising potentially the security of an offline wallet like Trezor, but built right into the TPM of your mobile phone.  I'm beta testing it on my Samsung S6 Edge and it seems very interesting and potentially huge...  to have the security of a hardware wallet, in software.  unbeatable feature and portable.  It has the potential to blow away all other software wallets.  Not yet ready for prime time, but could be extremely interesting when ready.  (their trustlet currently works with myceilium)

Coinbase is an exchange with wallet capacity. You should never use exchanges and online wallets anyways.

I also recommend mycelium, just don't hold big amounts on it!

Cheers!

Why not? I use coinbase as my regular day to day wallet in my PC. I think it is quite fast and reputable.

It's an online wallet! You don't have control over your funds. If something happens to the Coinbase, if someone hacks them or whatever, all your money will be gone. If you use it, at least don't keep big amounts in online wallets.

On the other side, I don't like Coinbase, and many serious bitcoiners don't either. Do a research, Google a bit. Coinbase complies with every damn requirement that government puts in front of them. In their TOS it's stated that they have right to transmit your person info to the governmental officers. They might be as well sending all of their personal customers data to the NSA.

Coinbase goes directly against the all of the decentralization that Bitcoin brings.

Again I repeat, with very small day to day amounts you will be OK.

Blockchain.info is best wallet for everyone.i think everyone should use this online wallet it will never deleted if your mobile format.

blockchain.info is known for its bugs. I don't think why people still choose it as their main wallet? Huh There are other alternatives like Xapo which offers reliability and ease of use. Smiley
But with xapo you have to reveal your identity in order to send payments and get your btc address!
This is the main problem with xapo, once it's removed i may give it a try (again)

I'm still using blockchain.info since i know bitcoin And i also use exchanger too as my main wallet Cheesy
Why i still choose blockchain may be because easy to use

you are using two bad options as your wallet.
using an exchanger as main wallet is the worst option that you could have chosen. because you don't even have access to your own private keys. so if the exchanger decides to close your account or even runs away, then you are screwed.

I like to use mycelium. What I don't like it's that you can't send from multiple addressed at the same time, but overall it's good.
