I am currently in need of a bitcoin wallet app on Android. I am using the one by Bitcoin wallet developers at the moment but I need more than one. All the other wallets seem as though you have to create an account and I wanted to avoid this.  I was wondering if any other apps are available.

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Mycelium is the standard bitcoin wallet on Android and supports Trezor and Ledger. If your phone is running Marshmallow you need to take a look at Breadwallet, which takes full advantage of the hardware encryption available on Marshmallow. Either would work well for you. Marshmallow is quite secure so no one is breaking into your Breadwallet without your fingerprint and passcode.

You can't normally run bitcoin core on a phone. There is an app called ABCore you can run on Android but is not really meant for phones, you would need wifi for data and 128 GB storage.

I would bet that Breadwallet becomes the most popular bitcoin wallet for new phones. It is really very good.

I have just installed electrum and I have copied the phrase and entered a pin, this was not too much of a problem as I appreciate security of the wallet. It is currently generating the wallet addresses and has been on this for a while.

I just edited my post to say that it took a long time when I first installed,
but I also think this is because my phone is old.
(3-4 years is a long time for a smartphone to be outdated)

if i were you i would most probably go with the simple blockchain.info wallet because in my opinion it is really easy to use, besides that i have never had any problems with it

Electrum doesn't need you to create an account.  It's one of the most secure SPV wallets too.
Also there's mycelium but I don't know if you need to create an account to use it.
I used Electrum because it was recommended to me when I started using Bitcoin.
The interface looks good and everything works well.

Just be sure to make a backup of your key and passphrase somewhere.
I write my keys to a text file and encrypt them, then save them on a computer and a couple USB sticks as backup in case of emergency.

It did run a little slow when setting up the account, but I think thats because my phone is a few years old.
