Always will be dangerous. Anything can happen to the storage, the mobile phone itself, the mobile network, compromise of the private key or the numeric phrase

Now it is really dangerous to work with mobile wallets. You have to keep yourself safe. This will be decided in the future. When no one will use it, and most of them. We must wait. We are at the very beginning of new technologies.

OK I think I get where you are coming from. But for the people who can't afford trezzor or ledger wallets, mobile wallet can still work for them if the Mobile wallet uses private key. It's advisable you use a wallet that you can control your private key. And make sure you write your private key down with pen and paper to be safe.

I used mobile wallets. And I dont agree with you. I think Its more dangerous on pc compared to phone. Since pc are most prone to viruses compared to phones. And theres this 2fa verication already by google on your phone which is so hard to hacked by hackers so better activate it.

I mostly use mobile wallets and as far as I know, it's safe. Depending on how safe you you play along, will determine your safety. Every wallet can be at risk if the owner places it on a risk

Actually one of my first crypto wallets was a mobile one, because I didn't know how to use a proper wallet that was a light client (SPV). I started out using stupid web wallets, then when I learnt I needed my own wallet, I tried mobile. But you're right, I believe it's not as secure, mainly because I don't trust my phone apps, is one thing, but also I'm just always afraid to lose my phone.
So now I stick to desktop SPV clients.

I don't think that mobile wallets are not safe it totally depends on your phone security if your smartphone is safe then your wallet is also safe. viruses more attack on pc than smartphone, I disagree with your arguments.

I have never used mobile wallets till the moment when MEW team have released their mobile app. It is very user friendly and is almost identical to the browser wallet. So, you can make your transactions from everywhere and this is a great point. But I have no idea how secured this solution is.

I had been using mobile wallet since last year. Still couldn't transfer to ledger wallet and trezzor wallet. Hardware wallet is the best to secure your favorite coin, all can't afford this value. If your private key is in secure place, I don't believe that mobile wallet is very dangerous.

I'm still using mobile wallets but with not so high amounts. I have altcoins on held with my mobile wallet and didn't even used it for awhile but I have no problem with it. The case on mobile wallets is choose the most reputable and store only coins there that you afford to lose. It's best for everyone to have his/her hardware wallet which has a better security than mobile wallets. I had been using mobile wallet since last year. Still couldn't transfer to ledger wallet and trezzor wallet. Hardware wallet is the best to secure your favorite coin, all can't afford this value. If your private key is in secure place, I don't believe that mobile wallet is very dangerous.
You should start saving and avail nano s or trezor for your own safety.

For now, it is. The risk is high since we're at the early stage of this technology. Anything can happen not just the mobile wallet, but as well as other things (even your cold wallet in the safest bank you know). Luckily, people are constantly looking for ways on how to improve things. Like other users commented above -- just wait for it. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I have been using iconomi for two years and I haven't met a problem so far.
If you felt a horrible thing when you use mobile wallet you should explain here. What mobile wallet did you use?
Why did you enter it to dangerous thing? maybe it will be better compared you just wrote a negative statement without an explain.

I don't agree with your post ,the most dangerous way of saving coins is using windows PC wallets not mobile wallets ,mobile wallets are safer than PC wallets ,all you have to do is use mobile wallets with private keys and keep them safe and secured

In the same way you store private keys or mnemonic words for computer wallets, you can also store the private key of mobile wallets. There's no much risk other than being attacked by a hacker.

I use mobile wallets for daily trade, if you can make sure your phone is not compromised, then why not use it? If you think again, everything is dangerous because most of device that you use for wallet can get infected by malware. Just make sure you can take care your device and don't download/install any suspicious program.

I use mobile wallet, I haven't seen the danger in it. The privacy of any kind of wallet u choose to use depends entirely on you.
