What took them so long?

They should have introduced this app during the previous bull, when the platform's hype was still so high. One reason I have never fancied using Uniswap to trade was initially because of the insane ethereum gas fees, and then there is away I hate using the Ethereum copy-cat chains.

I mean there was really no need of it tho, if you use apps like Zerion/Zapper (couple popular ones of many) to make a swap, they will aggregate data from various dexes including uniswap and will give you the best price.

Aggregators are much better in my experience, I was swapping USDC to ARB on arbitrum couple days ago, uniswap shown about $10 gas fee which is insane even by ethereum standards, then I went to Camelot dex aggregator and paid about half dollar to complete swap.

Since metamask extension can be used on android with extension supported browsers so I prefer web aggregators than installing apps, nonetheless, zerion/zapper works just as good.

They have access to mobile data as well as access to the wallet, I think this is a risk compared to using decentralized trading with specific token pairs.
The only advantage is that the integration is easy, so that the experience is as fast as browsing. This may reduce the possibility of phishing links, but it is still a problem.Let's see if the number of users and liquidity volumes will increase.

Yeah, this should have done long time ago but I guess it's a timely launched for them because we're just about to enter the bull run. The timing is perfect for this release but it's a different story if this has been done before.

Support swap across 8 chains.
Nice, they really have to because of the high fees that we might get for specific chains like ETH. For sure that there's a need for some alternative.

I've got some exciting news for Uniswap users. The largest decentralized exchange by trading volume has just added a feather to it's cap by launching an android wallet app with a built-in swap capability, which is now available on Google Play store. The iOS version was released in the month of April and according to the team, the felt the need to develop an android wallet app following the increasing demand by users. Users don't have to rely anymore on browser entension to make a swap, this can be done right on the app.

Key highlights of the Uniswap android wallet app:
  • Support swap across 8 chains.
  • Transactions are safeguarded by MEV blocker.
  • Available in 6 languages.
