I use Coinomi, and I've found it to be fantastic.   I have an Android.   The cool thing is that you can store multiple coins on it AND adjust the fees.  I've used others, but that's the one I've stuck with.  You could also search this forum because this topic has come up a number of times.

What do you mean by fees though? Miner's fee are not controlled by the wallets, they can only recommend the correct fees that will be used so that your transaction can be included in the next few blocks.

If you are using coinbase, then that is just an online wallet. It is practically unsafe to use and not recommended by expert users. Since you do not control the private keys there. I would say that the best that I've use on my iOS device is bitwallet. It's easy to use, though I would advice to just use wallets on your PC like electrum.

Well, it really depends what you want more of, convenience or safety, since your using a mobile, I would think that you value convenience over safety. I would recommend using mobile wallets such as coinjar touch, electrum wallet or green address. I am currently using electrum wallet for desktop and would totally recommend using it for mobile and desktop, everything is in a very simple fashion, and I have checked out the mobile app and it is also very well made, would totally use it, except for the fact I do all my bitcoin transactions on my computer and never use bitcoin in the real world. Enjoy!

PS: I would also recommend getting a trezor or ledgerwallet or any other hardware wallet to store the bulk of your bitcoin.

If you have frequent transactions then you can go with blockchain.info web wallet and they have three-factor authentication (you can choose your security level) for logging in your account. I am using their service since 2014 and they never disappointed me in terms of user friendliness, transfer fees and overall user experience. However, if you have plenty of bitcoins then maintain a cold storage and hold bitcoins in web wallet only as much your requirements.

I used electrum desktop wallet and have no problem so far. It doesn't take a lot of space and computation power to run. User have control over the private key and can do a lot of things in the wallet itself.

I prefer coinomi (for android). You can choose yourself the transfer fees, have a cold wallet and also server based backup. Coinomi supports several coins and runs smooth, even with slow connection and on my old device Smiley.

I mostly prefer Digital Bitbox which is packed with highest security and privacy. It combines the highest security of cold storage with the convenience of software wallets.

Agree but also from experience i can advice you to try almost all wallets out there.
Graphic design should suit you, ease of use for YOU and good fee setting options.

Have fun!

Try to look at Coinomi, I have been using it for three months and get the idea that it is a perfect mobile wallet

I'd suggest you the one I'm using since I've started and that's blockchain.info wallet. I don't know why people dis it, I've never had any problem whatsoever, and also using their wallet on my android aswell.

Need some spare btc for a new PC that can at least run Adobe Dreamweaver.

My personal suggestion is possibly to use Greenbits or Mycelium. Both are excellent Bitcoin purses or wallet.  By the way i am sorry if my suggestion is wrong, i am newbie here. Just read random stuff on the net.

Blockchain dot info comes with an android wallet and could be acceptable for doing business in little amounts. You'd probably most likely need a more reassured desktop choice for bigger amounts or even cold storage beyond that.
