Wallets for Windows Phone?

[NorrisK]

Hi all,

I've been using Windows Phone for over a year now and unfortunately some apps are still lacking. (Lets hope windows 10 finally solves this problem!)

Are there any good and thrustworthy windows phone wallet apps available? I don't want to risk losing my coins when I use a crappy app.

Cheers!

Have you tried Copay?

P.S. I found a paid app but I don't know you should try it or not. http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/bitcoin-wallet/6beb6013-ec4c-47e2-80c8-4b5f9dc4a307

I'm not really sure I trust this one, especially since it has quite a lot of positive feedback for quite an expensive app (most windows phone apps dont have a lot of feedback, let alone ones that cost 5 USD)

I will check out Copay, thanks!

Tbh since the windows phone store apps are much more lacking than Google Play and iOS, I would pick a web wallet and just access it through a web browser on your phone

I don't really like the thought of web browser wallets, especially since more and more virusses appear on mobile platforms and virus scanners using quite the resources and battery.

Ive been using windows phones for about 2 years+ now.. n I still havent found one.. I just put some coins on my localbitcoins account(with 2FA) n use it when I need to use BTC on the go. So far so good.
Once windows 10 comes out properly.. apparently it will support iOS and android apps with just minor changes from the developers side. Cant wait for that to happen.

I really hope windows 10 will solve this problem... Atleast it seems to be possible to run android apps without any changes if you fake it being android (as long as it not requiring the play store..)

I also use windows phone and I think we'll see lots of new apps in the future, apparently it's super simple to port apps over and most run very well aside from the ones that need google services. You could install Windows 10 preview on your phone or a backup phone and test out the android porting tools with a few wallets and see which ones function.

I can't risk running the preview at the moment. I need a stable phone (thats why I went windows phone in the first place, fuck android and it's crashes..) at the moment. Will wait for the full release to try out the wallets

I have a windows phone too and I have been using Copay as a secondry client for when I am away from my Laptop and I so far have no complaints, except few concerns on how to import it's keys to another wallet should it stop working in future but right now it's not possible to do that, so my advice to you would be to use it but only as a secondry wallet and keep minimum funds there.

But all in all till now I haven't had any issues with its working and I have kept upto 0.1 BTC there and they stayed there, It also has a multisig feature which can further keep your bitcoins safe.

Well I haven't, I just checked it out and it is in the App store but have 0 reviews, I might try it but I don't know if I should use an app that no one else is using.

Blockchain afaik had a windows wallet at one point and it supposedly did had all the features of the site but it was taken off from the store, not sure why but it probably had some vulnerabilities and coinbase I don't know/think they would do that because let's face it, there aren't many people who use windows phone in the first place and out of the ones who do there are very few who know and use bitcoins.

Blockchain also has a windows app. Why don't try that? I don't think there's any reason why you won't trust blockchain

[Hugroll]

copay is available for windows. although i haven't used it for windows. it works great on my iPhone. I'm sure you wont be disappointed.

Other that similar reasons why we shouldn't trust any centralized service? It is easy to manipulate, easy to hack and it will be attacked sooner or later.
