I thought you would accept the qualified applicants from the applications that have already dropped in this review campaign then those who are accepted will make the review. Is it that everyone will make the review then you select the best among them? I am not really clear on this review. because people have been applying because the review campaign is open but you have not accepted anyone who has applied since but only saying please don't be offended, I just need more clarification. Thanks

My review after trying the Utopia desktop wallet:
1. The wallet software is very easy to install and runs without problems and doesn't slow down device performance, so this wallet doesn't consume a lot of memory, so it's recommended to download it.
2. The display is quite confusing when first see it because there are quite a lot of features available so it takes time to understand every part of this wallet. The wallet is not adjusted perfectly on the device screen, there are parts where it cannot be seen so the user must use the cursor to drag the wallet to the left so that it can see what is closed, it is highly recommended to fix this section so that users can be more comfortable using this wallet. Here's how it looks so that the developer can provide the necessary updates

3. CryptoCard, there are many projects that also provide something like this but it doesn't work very well, so I'm not really interested in this.
4. The exchange will be very favorable if the exchange can be carried out directly in the utopia wallet without having to access the site of the exchange or there will be a P2P Exchange available.
5. Games are the part that really catches my attention but so far there are only two available, namely chess and poker, for chess you have to play by first making an invitation to a contact available in our wallet so for new users we have to add a contact if possible the user can play by the system so invitations aren't a must. It is highly recommended to add to the types of games available such as dice and others.

Of all these wallets, it provides enough choices for its users, but there will be those that will not be used, such as Channel because people intend to download a wallet when the wallet can store lots of coins or make exchange transactions in the wallet and also games will be interesting to develop. The coin still in my wallet I will wait to see an update if there's something that I can use the balance.

Good luck Utopia may not be a project that stops in its development but continues and contributes to the crypto world

Here my review, thanks joeperry and utopia staff for this chance!

The software is easy to install. Application that makes its strength on versatility and several applications.

I like the layout even if at first glance it seems somewhat confusing given the many possibilities offered by such a system. It's nice to have so many functions in a single platform, but they could be simplified and made more usable by the end user.
It would be interested having a guided tour or a tutorial...

The idea is really interesting... but I wonder if the code is open for review and if its functions have been audited? the same applies for stablecoins (has I have already seen same question has been made by another user...)

I have visualized the function of groups and chats, but in practice there are very few active groups and local "Italian" groups practically equal to 0 although they have already been active for some time.
it would take new groups, promotions, activities to introduce new people into these groups.

it would be interesting to have an exchange inside the application (without having to go to a browser).
I'm wrong but there is no btc/crp pair?
a partnership with more famous exchanges that offer greater liquidity would certainly be needed.

I tried to use the 5 CRPs to play poker, but there are no open tables (practically none).
It would be interesting to have basic tables (perhaps daily tournaments) so as to attract a few players (why not, even sponsorships for the various tournaments).

I tried to play chess, but you can only add players from your contacts. it would be more interesting to play casual games even with players who are not in your contact list

The idea of a crypto card, basically a sort of alias for making payments, is very interesting.
Here you will find 5 0,99 USD codes that I generated, make good use of them (I haven't found ways to spend them...)
Interesting function!

The part that I found critical is linked to the last point of the "merchants" possibility of purchasing / spending through the application. There is no collection service ok not a problem you can do without it though...

but...point 1 for adult services, should a disclaimer be included for minors under 18?

the real problem lies here:
point 2 there are a lot of clearly scam sites .
Without going into detail, I've seen a lot of ponzi, hyip, betting sites with the reputation of being full-blown scams, in short ... can any service join? Wouldn't it be nice to do some clean?
ok freedom of speech and expression, but I think the first aspect to take into account is the reputation of the platform and safety for end users.
obviously those who find a site listed think it is official/reputable etc... there is the risk that it could become a sort of eden for scammers...
even if the system is left "free" anyone can join, for example you could insert a reputation/trust system that allows you to avoid promoting scams...

general opinion (summary):
The idea is interesting and has a whole range of potential that can be exploited. I would "make order" by enhancing some functions and excluding some really questionable services or merchants

My Feedback on using Utopia App via Desktop

PS: I already browsed the app yesterday after I submit my application therefore I already have an insight into the wallet app. Also, I really like the sound effects that Utopia made on the apps, especially during the login process. This is my first time using a wallet application that has sound effects on actions made in the wallet.

I encounter some minor issues with the login page freezing when I input the wrong password. I create my account yesterday and I have a problem remembering my password. The logging screed froze after multiple wrong password attempts and there's no way to close it unless forced to close it using the task manager. I use the alternative way of logging in using importing the private key to access my account again and setting a new password. Actually, this is the same scenario when closing the application after use. I can't close it using a right-click on the tab and clicking the close tab feature. This minor on closing the app vanishes after several logins and logout on the wallet apps. The app is now running smoothly on my end.

Then, Move on to explore the apps, Actually, I was overwhelmed by the feature available on the apps which most of this is I'm not familiar with. I spend a few minutes to find the feature for the wallet and get the wallet address. I'm not used to the term "public address" but instead wallet address which is why I didn't find it immediately when I'm looking for the wallet address that I will use to submit my application. Maybe put the wallet address too on the request coin button since the wallet address on the top part is not easy to spot since there's no tag that it is a public address unless the user is already familiar with what the public address of Utopia looks like. I really suggest having a simplified mode for this wallet that doesn't include more advanced features for an easy user experience for newbies that will try the wallet for the first time.

I do browse the mining feature for the delegation of tokens to miners. Are there already active miners that accept token delegation? If yes I hope that you include the list of the mining pool to which users can delegate tokens to earn income.

On the crypto cards voucher history. It will be better if the recent voucher history will be on the top part instead of the bottom part because desktop users usually look at the top part first to check an update. I didn't notice the recent voucher that I use easily since it's not easy to be seen if it's still on the bottom part.

 Lastly, Kudos on the built-in multiple-tab feature inside the wallet. It is really helpful for users that play inside the wallet and send tokens at the same time. They didn't need to leave the game just to access the wallet.

I received the 5 CRP to review the app yesterday from the team. Here's my review, hope it helps.

---

Test system: Macbook Air M1, 8GB RAM, 40 Mb/s fiber internet connection for connectivity. I boot the system (Mac Monterey 12.2.1) from an external SSD with 300 MB/s read and write speed. While this is arguably slower than internal SSD, I run other apps just fine (DaVinci Resolve, OBS, Gimp, etc) as long as it is not swapping intensive since it requires fast SSD read/write speed.

User interface:
- The login UI is clean, other than "Remember me" being a bit confusing since it doesn't save the password and only the username/account container, I don't find any issue. I use a password manager (KeePassXC in this case) to manage my password, but it doesn't detect the field of the Utopia wallet. I don't know if this can be solved by changing the code of the app or not, but I'd definitely like it if I can just automatically fill the form without doing manual copy-paste for security purposes.
- The default window after logging in is windowed. I can change it easily either via manually resizing with my mouse or using an extension like Rectangle, however, it doesn't automatically change the size of tabs in the Mailbox section on the dashboard. It is not that much of an issue but if it also automatically changes size based on the window size the user currently has, it would be a nice QoL change.
- If I right-click on any transaction history, under Copy Public Key there are three buttons/menus that have a long name with no clear functionality for end-users. The only thing that is clear is probably the "Copy" part, but it doesn't look really good. If this is intended, consider changing the name to something simpler instead, since other menus are quite clear (Copy, Deselect all, Export, etc). Please check the image for clarity.


- There is no option to check a transaction status from a mempool explorer or something similar from the wallet history. If there is, I can't seem to find it. I also tried to check the TX ID from any online Utopia explorer but it is quite difficult to do so. I used https://explorer.utopiaecosystem.com/txid to check it (don't know if it is official or not) but they only show block data without any individual detail. Since this seems to be an intended behavior if we look at the "Verify transaction" page, I hope the team considers adding the ability to see if a transaction is confirmed or pending directly on the wallet/dashboard page. I can imagine a situation where somebody claims they've sent CRP but the other party can't check it at all because they don't check the menu of the app and rely on the history page/block explorer to see them.

Features:

- I received 5 CRP to test the app. I used 3 CRP to create a new crypto card. The creation process is quite fast so that's a plus. Other than changing the color and name, there's no other customization feature available. I don't think it's a big problem for me, but some users probably expect more if they need to pay to issue it. Changing the font type is probably a good thing to add if the team plans to add more customization for this.
- The requested feature needs the user to know the payer crypto card ID. At first, I thought it functions like other request invoices where anyone can pay the charge requested by the user, but since it wasn't, there might be some difficulties for users who want to request some payment with no specific payer in mind. That being said, they can still use the public key. There is also no copy/contact feature on the request page, so the user has to copy them from their contact list. I think it would be nice if they can access their contact's crypto card ID directly from the request page.
- The second feature that I tested with the CRP is the uVoucher feature. I use 1 CRP to create a new uVoucher code and it processed instantly. Using the newly created code was also quick. Overall, I don't see any issue with this feature in my testing.
- I tried to stake my CRP to miners, but I encountered some difficulties since I need to find their public key address and so on. It would be better if a user can access the miners' addresses directly from the app, with their information (if it is publicly available, such as their Telegram group, etc) to make it easier for them to decide which miner is the best for them. I find several projects do this from their mining/staking page, and it is very helpful for them.

Performance:

- I downloaded the dmg file from the website. The file is around 300 MB, and installing the app takes around 600 MB on my drive. Opening the app for the first time doesn't take that long. However, I find that it always lags a lot when opening the Channels tab. Opening the channel tabs always spikes the RAM consumption by a lot. At one point, the app just consumed 500 MB of RAM, but if I open the Channels page, it shot up to 4 GB. While my setup might contribute to the stutter/slow issue, I don't think requiring 4 GB of RAM just to open the channel page is a good thing.
- I don't find any issues regarding network synchronization. It's quite fast and smooth. I notice that Utopia seems to be constantly downloading/uploading to peers with an average of 500 KB/s bandwidth. Personally, this is not an issue for me, but somebody with a limited internet quota might have to keep this in mind. If possible, I think the team should lower this bandwidth consumption or allows the user to limit the network usage of the app directly. While there is an option to opt out from contributing to the network on the Preferences page, I think it would be great if a user can participate with their own bandwidth rule.

Overall impression:

Overall, the app is quite nice. I can imagine using it daily if I interact a lot with the Utopia ecosystem to manage my CRP. Other than the performance issue when opening the Channel page, there is no other major issue that I find in my testing. Some quality-of-life changes would improve the app and make it easier for users to contribute to the network, mainly by delegating their CRP to miners or relaying the network data.

Hello Utopia team glad to be part of review team.

I'm pretty new here I just installed the app couple of days ago but I do already explore the app. I'm not gonna share much of screenshots since everyone already doing it.

Review
- First of all, after installed I just see the app like a hacking app which means is cool it's like in the movie (Look at my few screenshots above)
- I'm rarely using all in one app like Utopia usually so this one is super cool
- the built-in fiture like wipe Encrypted container is also needed if you are really a hacker or someone needs more privacy combined with IDYLL browser is the best duet combo
- I already test the chat feature and it was smooth like slack
- This might be an unpopular opinion but adding a dark theme and a light theme is always good, Great Job
- I have been tried the Crypto card I Know this a great feature but will be way greater if we can actually make a virtual debit card through the app
  Someone please send money tho this address 
- I want to try chest but I don't have a friend yet so I can't test the feature but add in-game app is always a nice idea
- Multiple languages available this is needed since crypto is around the world

Advice
- Make some welcome tutorial that has ballon and shows what feature this or that so new members not confuse after installation and also implement this if there is a major change on the app.
- Or you need a documentation, a small documentation on Gitbook would be great
- This app can do so many things but I do recommend doing advertising in goodle ads or something like that or assigning a marketing team so we can see more people joining utopia.
- Make a wrapped version of CRP coin so we can have a better liquidity and volume. ETH BSC or other layers 2 is good and Dex doesn't require a listing fee.
- Another crypto wallet is also great so we can save much more coin but i would Recomended EVM Chain because that has a lot of user

My test process was carried out in a way like any ordinary user would use the platform without being that tech savvy and this is how it went...

App Installation
Installing of the Utopia desktop app was super easy as the app helps you navigate through the process, and after it was done was greeted by a clean and nice looking user interface that needed me to either sign in or create an account.

App Features

After seeing the welcome message of the key features of the Utopia ecosystem, the "Utopia" name does fit in well as this is intended to tell the user this is an all in one cyptocentric social platform and community. But looking at the key features I think the biggest features here could easily be uWallet, Mining, and Ibyll Browser and the location of the first two can easily be found upon launching the app unlike the Ibyll broswer which is put in the tools section and I feel needed to be easily seen maybe somewhere near the games section if the intention is to have users regularly using it.

Testing Ibyll broswer
Upon opening the browser I could tell this is based on Mozilla firefox with a cleaner touch to it without any bloatware and was skeptical to see how far this could go in terms of everyday use. And because the browser is advised in such a way not not to save user data like running it in incognito mode I wanted to see if i could load up a password manager for this test but will need to wait for synching to be done or something ..but then again how does one know synching is done because i could even access https://u.is/ on the browser itself **will update when sync is complete**

Games
Noticed we have two games available and I tried both which suggested I need to have friends or family to play chess with as its based on an invitation basis, and the poker match didn't have other peoiple to play with on the table, so maybe if this can have parameters like play with public or friends or family we could have users to play against.

uWallet
This is self explanatory and didn't have to do much around here but did try out some vouchers which apparently were all used, but just a concern is there a cooloff period for someone trying out vouvhers to prevent any brute force and the alike.

Otherwise great platform all this place needs are the numbers to come in and be an active community .

Previously withdrew my application because it was busy, but now have enough time to review. Thanks

Edit: Update the Utopia Public Key

I downloaded the Windows 64 Bit executable app. The installation process was smooth and easy with no hiccup.

1. Account creation.

The process of account creation was not hard, however, there should be emphasis on making sure users back-up their private keys or seeds right before accessing the account like how other major wallets do it such as asking users to type back some of the words in their seeds just to confirm if they backed them up.
This can help promote good seed back up practices

2. Closing and opening utopia app

When one closes the Utopia window, it still remains running in the background. I think there should be a warning to users that the app will remain running in the background and the icon is active under the system tray Icons
Utopia platform window only opens up normally through the desktop Icon or shortcut if it’s a fresh execution.
Opening Utopia through the icon in the desktop when it’s still active in the background as par the system tray icon results into no window showing up until someone checks and opens through system tray Icon


Suggestion

---> One should be able to open utopia through the desktop icon too even if it's already running in the background, just like it is possible with apps like discord.

3. On logging in

When the platform is fully synced. I noticed that there was still massive data usage. The only way of stopping this was stopping/shutting down the app. This is not suitable for users with low internet data plans.

Why is there massive internet data usage when the network is fully synced?

4. Channels

The channels tab was pretty straight forward.  I liked how it was possible to rearrange the channel list based on ratings, age, name, Language, number of guests etc
I still wonder what the use of the uptime column was because it seems all the channels were showing Uptime as None.

5. Idyll browser

A bright idea but not user-friendly

A brief description of the type of addresses the browser supports would be very welcome. You could also have a part where there are suggestions of supported addresses of popular sites already on the utopia p2p network, like search engines.
The browser seems to favor “HTTP” which, according to my understanding, is an outdated protocol instead of “HTTPS”
Like "http://exchanges" instead of "https://exchanges"

6. Umail

Pretty straight forward and clean.

Maybe you should add a few text formatting options such as Bolding, Underlining, italics, centering, etc. and also some options for emojis when creating a new umail message.

7. Contacts

When adding contact, there is an option to scan ucode Images that are only locally stored in the device. You could add an option to scan ucode via the webcam or device camera.

8. Miningbots

I could not test mine since I did not have any dedicated server or VPS

9. Uwallet

It's straight forward for a new user

---> Shop with utopia USD redirects to a list of merchants which are accessed on a browser that is not idyll. In my case, it was Microsoft Edge. This defeats the purpose idyll browser was created for.

---> I used the 5 CRP to create a crypto card and the process was smooth. However, I think more information about the card is necessary. Is it a credit card or debit card. Is it a MasterCard or VISA type of card, What service or countries support its usage, what is the expiry date etc.

Hi.
I would like to apply for a Review..hope you accept me to be your reviewer.
