If you're using a pc. I recommend using electrum. Easy to use. It even has a portable version of it. Portable, meaning. You can use that wallet wherever you go. Just put it in your portable drive.

If you decide to use XAPO, I have some money (1 mBTC) in there that I want to get out, but I don't want to pay the fee.

I propose you send me the BTC, and then I'll transfer the money from my XAPO account to yours (you can open a XAPO account with zero balance).

I will be using freebitco.in to transfer the money (zero fees), so it might take some time.

For example, let's say you want to deposit 10 mBTC in XAPO. You send me the 10 mBTC to my freebitco.in wallet. I will send 9 mBTC to my XAPO account. Once completed, I will do a off-chain transfer of 10 mBTC from my XAPO account to yours. In the end, nobody will pay any fees.

I realize this is an unorthodox request. I just want to get my money out of XAPO, because I don't use it anymore, and the amount is too little to pay such large fees for. You'd really be helping me out. Thanks for reading.

Current XAPO fees

If you use regularly, should use blockchain.info purse, security is very good.
If used infrequently, XAPO should be used  Roll Eyes

Bogus wallets began to show up in both the iTunes App Store as well as Google Play. Also, they are being promoted using Google Adwords, causing them to be show up genuine. These types of wallets and advertisements are taken out once they are reported but not before a large number of people have already saved them and wasted their bitcoin. You need to be careful.

A phone application is not much safer than an exchange/wallet.
I would rather use an offline wallet for example Armory or a paper wallet.

With regard to smartphone wallets, there are lots of high quality ones, however to begin you off some recommendations are Mycelium, Airbitz, Copay, or Blockchain dot info. For wallet applications, you can look at Electrum or Multibit. I'm really sorry if my information is wrong. Senior member can help.

Blockchain dot info comes with an android wallet and could be acceptable for doing business in little amounts. You'd probably most likely need a more reassured desktop choice for bigger amounts or even cold storage beyond that.

My personal suggestion is possibly to use Greenbits or Mycelium. Both are excellent Bitcoin purses or wallet.  By the way i am sorry if my suggestion is wrong, i am newbie here. Just read random stuff on the net.

I mostly prefer Digital Bitbox which is packed with highest security and privacy. It combines the highest security of cold storage with the convenience of software wallets.

I prefer coinomi (for android). You can choose yourself the transfer fees, have a cold wallet and also server based backup. Coinomi supports several coins and runs smooth, even with slow connection and on my old device Smiley.

I used electrum desktop wallet and have no problem so far. It doesn't take a lot of space and computation power to run. User have control over the private key and can do a lot of things in the wallet itself.

If you have frequent transactions then you can go with blockchain.info web wallet and they have three-factor authentication (you can choose your security level) for logging in your account. I am using their service since 2014 and they never disappointed me in terms of user friendliness, transfer fees and overall user experience. However, if you have plenty of bitcoins then maintain a cold storage and hold bitcoins in web wallet only as much your requirements.

Well, it really depends what you want more of, convenience or safety, since your using a mobile, I would think that you value convenience over safety. I would recommend using mobile wallets such as coinjar touch, electrum wallet or green address. I am currently using electrum wallet for desktop and would totally recommend using it for mobile and desktop, everything is in a very simple fashion, and I have checked out the mobile app and it is also very well made, would totally use it, except for the fact I do all my bitcoin transactions on my computer and never use bitcoin in the real world. Enjoy!

PS: I would also recommend getting a trezor or ledgerwallet or any other hardware wallet to store the bulk of your bitcoin.

What do you mean by fees though? Miner's fee are not controlled by the wallets, they can only recommend the correct fees that will be used so that your transaction can be included in the next few blocks.

If you are using coinbase, then that is just an online wallet. It is practically unsafe to use and not recommended by expert users. Since you do not control the private keys there. I would say that the best that I've use on my iOS device is bitwallet. It's easy to use, though I would advice to just use wallets on your PC like electrum.

I use Coinomi, and I've found it to be fantastic.   I have an Android.   The cool thing is that you can store multiple coins on it AND adjust the fees.  I've used others, but that's the one I've stuck with.  You could also search this forum because this topic has come up a number of times.
