Uhh. What was rated 2.5? You just wrote a rating and not really say what the rating was for.

Well, I'll just recommend the wallet I use. I use electrum and bither wallet. Both are easy to use and quite secure.

You Have to download electrum but I am just using on phone.

I want an easy 1.

bitcoin wallet will be blockchain wallet because there you can have as many as you want bitcoin address
if you want more coins and exchange go to myetherwallet but this is just for address and exchange ofcorse you still need to have a stronger and primary wallet where you can withdraw your funds and deposit if you want to ... better search more and  wait for some days manyy people here sure will help you .. good luck pal

Electrum

They have an android app.

If you really want to use an online wallet for some unknown reason, blockchain.info isn't as bad as Trustpilot suggests.  They can be buggy at times, but people tend to leave reviews a lot more often when they have a problem.  Their fee estimation has never been very good though, so make sure you set an appropriate fee for the priority you want your transaction to have.

BTC.com is another online wallet with a phone app if you're looking for an alternative.

Electrum and Mycelium are both good mobile wallets with control over your private keys though.

i use wallet android so far normal constraint in the big tax of light application in use you can search in playstore bitcoin wallet rating 4.5 satisfy usage already more 200 user wear this

I think from your thread's name you mean any wallet to use on your phone. Blockchain is online wallet so you need internet when you use it on pc, smartphone or etc. There is no need to download electrum when you use phone. If you have already wallet, you can import it on blockchain.info's wallet and use it on your smartphone.
Don't look at that rating, blockchain is good but if you want to spend, receive and hold huge amount of bitcoins like 100btc, then I would use offline wallet. On another hand blockchain wallet is safe and easy.

But it does not work with uk bank when buying. Only option.is bank transfer which is complicated I'm worried if I mistyped 1 little letter when typing address or reference I will loose all money from my account

I recommend the bitcoin core cause is a nice and eaasy to use wallet. However Electrum, Mycelium and blockchain wallet are also nice but Electrum is having some sort of technical problem lately.

[Papski]

Can't you just use blockchain.info wallet? I've been using it for many years already and didn't experience any problems with it. I would say its most reliable online wallet out there

[Dmitry.Vastov]

If you want to download the complete blockchain then you should install the bitcoin core wallet but if you are low on space then electrum is the best wallet for you as it doesn't need to download the whole blockchain.
And if you want to use bitcoin wallet on mobile then blockchain and the official bitcoin wallet are the best.

If you plan for long term holding, Electrum for both PC and mobile will do the job. You will hold your private keys here so rest assured that your coins is safe and it will just lose via human error.

If you will do some regular used of your bitcoins or making withdrawals into fiat, search for your local exchangers there with good reputation since it's more way easy to access than to use international exchangers like Coinbase , XAPO etc to deposit and withdraw bitcoin.

I used to use blockchain, I moved most of my money over to electrum. Electrum is actually really simple to use especially if you can access the android/pc app. Use blockchain if you don't have much money to transfer, but even then I'd say use electrum over blockchain during any opportunity you get.

If you want to save bitcoin and seeking for a good wallet, it's better to use blockchain or electrum. there are a lot of wallet options out there but I prefer those two wallets. I just suggest do not use exchange to save our bitcoin.

Actually, blockchain is better than most bitcoin wallet, it's simple and easy to use, you can set custom fees as well.
And electrum for android isn't so good compare to desktop version which you can set custom fees to send bitcoin, but you can't if using android version.
If you have iPhone, there is breadwallet. breadwallet is perhaps the most popular Bitcoin wallet for iPhone. It’s super easy to use and gives users complete control over their funds. The interface is clean and makes using the wallet easy even for new Bitcoin users. The recovery process is also explained well which helps prevent new users from losing their bitcoins due to rookie mistakes. Read more here: https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/wallets/ios/

If you do use a wallet, check to see if you're using the correct website. There are many phishing sites masquerading as bitcoin wallets that will steal your crypto. Internet wallets like blockchain are ok. The main drawback with those are they have the private key associated with your bitcoin address. For security purposes desktop wallets which in theory allow only you to have the private key to your account are more secure.

Of course security is a multi layered thing. A desktop wallet probably won't be the most secure thing if someone manages to install a rootkit or trojan that keylogs what someone's private key is on their PC. There are many vectors of attack/defense when it comes to OPSEC(operational security).

Actually, I was just looking at my electrum app on android and I noticed that you actually can set the fee however you like. It's located in the settings section and I think the dynamic fee option is engaged right when you install it. You can opt out of that and customize how much you send for fees as you please. There hasn't really been much that I can't do on blockchain on electrum, which is why I think it's perfectly fine to migrate over from blockchain.

Well seems like you are indeed a newbie and fits your name.

Anyway. Not sure what you are looking for, but seems like you are looking for an online wallet that has the feature of being able to buy bitcoins at the same time. You can check out:

coinbase (depends on which country you are in, they allow you to buy from their platform)
spectrocoin (not very sure with this, just check it our yourself)

Generally, it is best to just buy from localbitcoins then store it in your own wallet like bither (ios and android) or electrum (android).
