BRD Bitcoin Wallet 4+

My opinion on BRD

Hello, for full disclosure I am rating it 5 stars because there is an incentive to do so. Even so, the app has a lot of good qualities such as a simple and easy to use interface, awesome customer service that actually respond when you contact them, the ability to exchange fiat for crypto, a bunch of promotions and giveaways (though they have slowed recently), seems really secure, and incentives for holding their crypto (BRD). On the other side there are a few things that other apps do better. To start, their fees are a lot higher than some other places, receiving your crypto may not be instant, and worst of all, if you log in after a while your wallet has to sync to the network to look for any transactions (withdraws and deposits). Overall if you want a simple, easy to use app that feels professional then this is the one! If you are looking for the cheapest and fastest way to buy and exchange crypto then this might not be for you. My honest rating is 3.5/4 stars out of 5. Still a great app!

Love the app, just a few suggestions

This is by far the easiest to use crypto wallet, and I have been using it for a few years now. Some other wallet apps I have looked at seem to have sketchy reviews and no response from the developers which makes me hesitant to use other wallets. However, my need to look else where comes down to some simple, but lacking features. I really, really, really wish BRD supported more types of coins. There are some major coins it doesn’t support, and I have been using BRD for a number of years now. These include LTC, Doge, XRP, XMR and so on. Please please consider supporting some additional coins. Next, I really think that BRD should focus on implementing segwit for BTC. This would bring down the cost of network transactions that some have been complaining about and make the transaction process faster. I know, I know, it is currently a beta feature. I was going to enable it, but was a bit nervous when the app informed me that I would not be able to revert back to legacy addresses. I think both need to exist for compatibility. These are just my thoughts. My concern is that my favorite app has slowed in some major features as of late. I really feel that this is one of the most secure wallets available for mobile devices but these couple things just annoy me. Please take this into consideration. Otherwise, great job!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad to hear you've been enjoying BRD! Please note that if you delete and re-install BRD (make sure you know the BRD PIN you chose) Segwit deactivates. It's been working great so there's no risk to using it. The only reason we haven't enabled it by default is because there are so many services that don't support Segwit sends, so we don't want to "break" those services. (e.g. ATMS). We also hope to add more coins in the future!

Stellar support

the app is 100% functional and my favorite mobile crypto wallet, of all regardless of currency. from a UX design, it is extremely well designed, has never crashed - unlike mycelium for instance when checking transactions - and if you put it on fast sync, it syncs blockchain within a few seconds. but more importantly, support is stellar. response time is a few minutes in my experience, and helped to solve my issue to completion, which i only had one issue ever. i kept asking follow up questions and they answered immediately every time. (issue: i tried to double spend and the transaction got stuck trying to send for hours, vs for instance, cancelling this impossible to execute transaction. i had quite a few detailed questions about this and support answered each of them, without hesitation or giving me the impression that i ask too many questions, which i sometimes do.) 5 stars.
