Anyone here uses breadwallet? Any problem about using it?
I didn't like breadwallet because it doesn't use BTC denomination, it uses "bits". Many bitcoin decades ago (a few months in real life) I once thought that the term bits was a great idea. Then I thought it was a stupid idea. Either way, to make it the only option in a wallet is a deal breaker for me.

I would also recommend Mycelium on Android phones or blockchain but only keep small amounts.
Any wallet with great security features for smarthphones is still not available.

I only keep small amount of btc in mycelium. Most of the stash is in an offline storage. Cause i don't have confidence in android os security. Everytime when i reach website, there's bound to be pop ups that says 'phone got virus,' kind of stuff that is enough to freak me out.

I have the blockchain.info-wallet on my smartphone, but I never really used it, since you can't spend BTC in Vienna(besides on the WWW, but I don't need a smartphone-wallet for that). My problem with the other wallets, I played around with, was, that they need some time to sync with the network, since my smartphone isn't permanently connected to the internet. The blockchain.info-wallet is pretty fast and simple(connect WiFI-->press wallet-icon-->enter pin) to get ready.

Wouldn't trust them on Android (not because of the app specifically).
Wouldn't trust them on a Jailbroken iPhone
Would trust on a non-jailbroken iPhone if it was secured with a code + remote wipe functionality via iCloud (not backed up via iCloud though)

I think most payment systems will revolve around smartphones in the future, but this is going to mean they have to be very secure. I'm not sure I trust smartphones at the minute with stuff like the NSA syping and data collecting etc.

You are very correct on the first two. If you are using an app for an android phone or a jailbroken iPhone then the app will likely have not been vetted from anyone (and is difficult to know for sure that you are downloading from who you think you are downloading from, AFAIK you cannot verify a GPG signature from a smartphone. There have been instances in the past when an android wallet would generate new private keys with a faulty RNG, making it possible for the creators of the wallet to have a much smaller set of private keys that the phones could have generated, making it easy for them to steal from the wallet owners

By "safety" do you mean the possibility of the phone being lost or stolen? If that's the concern, make sure you lock the wallet with a PIN. When you discover the phone missing, restore your wallet from the paper backup and transfer the bitcoin to a new wallet, with a new private key. Or are you concerned about the possibility of the phone being hacked?

When you discover the phone missing, restore your wallet from the paper backup and transfer the bitcoin to a new wallet, with a new private key. Or are you concerned about the possibility of the phone being hacked? If you have a 4-digit PIN to "protect" your wallet then there are only 10,000 possible combinations that an attacker would need to try (at most) before finding your PIN. All an attacker would need to do is make a clone of your phone in airplane mode and try all combinations until they figure out which one is correct. This would logically not take very long considering how fast even CPU mining is. This would not give you very much time to secure your funds in the manor you describe
