The wallet addresses it gives me do NOT appear on any of the popular bitcoin blockchain explorers. They only appear on Blockstream.
Any ideas? My concern is that my funds will be lost if I use it.

Let me guess... Your address starts with bc1...?Any ideas? My concern is that my funds will be lost if I use it.

It's a Native Segwit address (Bech32) which isn't supported by many block explorers (thus, it shows as invalid). However, the address is valid and works fine. If you receive coins on it, you can spend them without any issue.
The problem is that - as I said - they still aren't supported by many services. So you can create a new wallet but select "Standard" instead of "Segwit" for the wallet type. This should give you an wallet with 1... addresses.
What happens if a SegWit address sends BTC to a legacy wallet address (and vice versa)?
And...Are people able to create NEW legacy wallet addresses? Or are they only able to restore legacy wallets that were created before the SegWit update?
