I glanced through it quickly. There doesn't seem to be any reports of scams, users not being able to access their funds or being locked out of their wallets. But as you highlighted yourself, it is not an open source wallet and I am personally have no use for it.

I'm pretty sure Bitfinex wouldn't make a partnership with an illegitimate business but I also don't see the point of using this wallet, especially when you have wallets like Exodus and Coinomi that offers even more features and also support more coins.
The security and safety of your funds should always be your top priority, you might regret this in the future.

What do you think about it? I like non-custodial solutions with every basic option but i have some concerns about the codebase. This wallet is not open source. I know that no one likes to share their backend code but this can be a good option for transparency, you know. Is it safe to use with big amount of money? (Im not a whale, hah.)
