Personally, I just use the Edge wallet[1] app. Yes, they don't give you access to your private keys, but I don't care. I only store a maximum of $20-$30 on that wallet anyway, just so if I need to use a small amount of bitcoin when I'm out. Why do I use it? It just works decently. That's pretty much it. If you're worried about security, then purchase a hardware wallet. You shouldn't be leaving all your funds on mobile wallets in the first place.

For me, I have 3 wallets that I currently using Electrum, Mycelium, and Eclair for LN but mostly I used both Electrum and Mycelium If I want to store some bitcoin temporarily when away from home and I'm not storing a big amount of bitcoin because Android is not safe that is why I don't use it for daily basis and don't store large amount of bitcoin. So this 2 Electrum and Mycelium are best wallets for me in android but they both sometimes have problem-related to server. If your plan is to store bitcoin for a long time another option from suggested above is make a cold wallet and your android phone is your watch-only wallet or your android phone is your cold wallet.

I'm using Mycelium and our local wallet to store bitcoin but I feel more comfortable to store my earnings in a hard wallet. I just use my online wallets to monitor and to check the prices because most online and android wallets are at hackable no matter how hard we keep our private keys.

Personally i use 3 wallets. They are Atomic Wallet, Trust Wallet and Blockchain. I prefer Atomic wallet more because it provides Private Key. I only use these wallet, whenever I need to trade on an exchange. Blockchain is used to store Bitcoin, Trust to store Ethereum and Atomic wallet for Alts aswell as Ethereum. If I want to HODL any assets, I would transfer it to my ledger.

I don't get it. Besides the Ledger, why do you separate your BTC, ETH, and alts on 3 Blockchain, Trust, and Atomic? Atomic also supports BTC, ETH, as well as your alts like you said, so why not put your BTC and ETH on Atomic?

I am using Electrum and Eclair currently though I don't store large funds here for obvious reasons. Have been using Electrum for quite sometime and began using Eclair only recently. Checked on google and found this list for you: https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-wallet/android/

You use online wallets to monitor and check prices? Sounds odd. You can just use one of the many websites or dedicated price apps to do so. --- I have recently installed Blockstream's green wallet for android and must say that I like it. This is the first time that I actually enjoy using a mobile client, while the Electrum mobile client that I used as main client did its job, but it doesn't have an appealing UI. The only downside is that transactions don't pop up instantly, which is something I'm not keen on. I don't know why that is, but it takes like 30-60 seconds before a transaction pops up while it should pop up instantly, just like how it does so in my Electrum client. It could be a backend configuration they need to work on, but hope they'll fix that soon.

Electrum is still the best for me. I find it user-friendly and secured and I have been using it for 3 months already. I personally keep my android phone well secured with multiple pins just to be sure because it holds my earnings. I'm planning to use a hard wallet to transfer some of my funds soon.

Mycelium.
I've sampled plenty of others but that has the best UI, some unique features, it does Segwit now and I've only had its servers crap out on me once. I've been using for about 4-5 years and will continue without the need for anything else.

I have been using the Blockchain application app ever since i got into the crypto industry and i have not encountered any problem with it. It's route of wallet recovery is very simple and instant. You all should try the blockchain application as it gives you the platform to store, BTC, ETH, XlM, BCH.

For wallets I'm good and no issues with coinomi. I also have used blue wallet(lightning network wallet) for smaller transactions and I just liked it as if I'm contributing to its adoption.
But I dont suggest to keep large amount on coinomi, if you want to keep big amount then go with electrum or keep it on a hardware wallet such as ledger.

I use Coinomi especially for shitcoins and I'm very happy with it. No way am I going to bother running a proper wallet for anything I've got in there. For the stuff that counts there are no shortage of other and better options.

1. For me is Electrum and Coinomi. I used this 2 wallets on my phone to stored my bitcoin and i never had a single problem until now. It's safe for me. 2. Because it's easy to use and also the security is good, i recommend Electrum though.

I might be biased but my only choice for storing Bitcoin in mobile wallet is mycelium. My primary wallet is a desktop electrum wallet but for coins on go, I prefer mycelium. I too have a coinbase app and some coins there too as it has been integrated to many merchants and the sending by email is an easy way to get connected with regular customers.

Do not seek adventure in vain. All wallet applications may have some risks. Use paper wallet or hardware wallets. It is secure and relaible way to keepin Bitcoin.

I am using PlusToken wallet since February now and I am very pleased with it. I think it is safe because it provides private keys. Different authentification methods can be enabled for withdrawel transactions, 2FA via SMS, email, Google Authenticator or also face recognition. For BTC the wallet is decentralized which provides another means of safety.
It's a mobile app for Android or also iOS and the user interface for the wallet is very easy to use. Beside simple payments the app comes though with a huge amount of additional functionality and has also an exchange integrated.
Best regards, CompliedTrader.
