I was using coinbase early and now I am using Mycelium wallet. I hope this wallet good security features such as private key seed adding, two factor authentication for using the wallet in website. You can manage the fees also with the 3 steps options. Overall experience to use this wallet is good for me.

mobile wallets should be used if you need your coins easily accessible and portable with you. if you want to "keep coins" then use any desktop wallet or better yet use cold storage. many altcoins even have paper wallets (use google to find out). and for bitcoin just visit this https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet and choose mobile wallets section.

In the history of Bitcoin I found that we have problems only with the third party wallet and that will results into lake of trust of save your money safely in the online . So here I will recommend to use only blockchain.info wallet because blockchain.info is available at every type of platform , I means to say that we can use it at web desktop as well as at the mobile platform easily and also in blockchain wallet we have the option to pay the customised fee . So why we should use another third party wallet , So use official always have no fear in our mind because official are always best and they will responsible for our any type of loss .

Sent $50 today and was charged over $8!!

Yeah , last day I also heard about the hack of the Jaxx wallet which is popular wallet for the mobile . Since it was the third party wallet , so security may be good but still chance of hack were maximum . Here I will suggest you everyone that instead to out your money in the third party wallet , use official one because official wallets are always better for your safety because a big responsibility always forces the owner of the wallet to gave the full security for Thier service . Here my suggestion for all of you is that use only those wallets which operates over the Bitcoin address private and public key only and they don't need any password ( because password can be cracked with reset options ) . And also we still have the option of the blockchain that is impossible for anyone to hack then why we take worry to store wallet in other wallet , we should save our btc in only blockchain.info , because I had never seen any wallet which has more security then blockchain have .

Yes you're right about using wallet having a third party, like coinbase it uses third party so its not so secure. Try electrum its a desktop wallet and acts as a cold storage wallet but you can installed it in your smart phone or tablet. It's great for back up and for storing huge amount of btc. It's an offline so it will not get hack. For your everyday transaction just use coins.ph , it's safe to use and doesn't use third party.

The most secure wallet I could suggest you to use it is Electrum wallet, this is the most secure one that I used for a couple of months up to now, and it is truated application wallet to anyone in this industry.

Actually, there are many people who use mobile wallet or online wallet that you can use if you want to keep your bitcoin safe and secure. Furthermore, there are still people who use the cold storage that you need to install in your laptop or computer.However, the best way to keep you bitcoin is to store it online wallet because it’s totally secure and no one will try to hack or stealth it.

There are ways to make coins usable on your phone and still moderately secure. For example, you could buy a TREZOR and carry it with you (it's tiny), then connect it to your phone with Mycelium. That would keep your coins safe and you can use hidden wallets with additional passphrases on a TREZOR to protect against physical theft (not to mention the PIN system, but that could be vulnerable to 5-dollar wrench attacks).
In normal situations I would get Mycelium or Breadwallet and only hold as much on it as you'll need for regular transactions.

You can try electrum mobile wallet its more secured and safe.. i think coinbase is not good right now so be aware about the issue in their site.. did you notice every time the price increase the site is unavailable.. so better to look for other secured and safe wallet like electrum mobile and i think the above post are also safe trezor is an offline bitcoin wallet..

I believe mobile wallets are only used for convenience. I use coinbase mobile wallet because it is easy for me to send bitcoin to any address. It is easy to use and I can also see if I have received any bitcoin in easy way. In terms of storage, I prefer using a a desktop wallet which is offline. this gives more security for my bitcoin

Almost all mobile wallets are secure, the major ones like Electrum, Mycellium, and Breadwallet. Any wallet which is based on a seed is more secure than any other wallet like blockchain for android. It is not recommended to keep a big amount of bitcoins in these type of wallets. Just keep a small amount for everyday use.

Sent $50 today and was charged over $8!! 8$ is too much for 50$, I thought that Mycelium was a good one bitcoin wallet in android mobile. That is not right anyway, If this will continue perhaps all clients of mycelium will disappear little by little.

I have been using this wallet for a long time and have never been in trouble, whether it is in storage and withdrawal, in addition to that high level of security is very comfortable, only we who have special access to open our wallet, this is one suggestion Which is good for you.

Jaxx is insecure? I've heard about it a lot but never actually used it, although this is the first time I've heard it's insecure. Anyway, since android phones run apps in a VM a mobile wallet on an android phone is the most secure type of wallet short of a cold wallet (if you use IPhone then I can't really help you there). Mycelum, Coinomi, or Electrum are 3 good wallets to consider; although if you're worried most about hacking then Coinbase or Blockchain.info would be best because they support 2FA.
