Best android wallet for a noob?

[arnuschky]

Hey.

I have a friend in Montreal without a wallet (real wallet, was stolen) who needs funds.
I offered to send her some bitcoins, but don't know which Android wallet would be best
to use. Best in this case = easy to use, low barrier of entry. Ideally I'd like to avoid
24-word passphrases, security backups and 2fa.

Any suggestions?

Stay away from the blockchain.info app. It has a lot of bugs, recently a serious security issue was discovered in it that affected some phones.

I would recommend "Bitcoin Wallet" by Andreas Schildbach, it is in the Play Store.

Also check out Coinomi, it has BIP44 support for easy wallet backup and has an integrated ShapeShift exchange.

First try to stay away off Blockchain.info APplication , I personally advice you to use Mycelium and I used it before on my Tablet and it's working fine and never had any problems with it , and you can even buy/sell BTC if I remember right (It see your location and tell you the location of other people near you who sell/buy BTC basically like Localbitcoins do) https://mycelium.com/

Mycelium is quite good, and not hard to use... It even has a local trader so he can exchange to fiat if he needs in an emergency.
