MyCelium offers the MyCelium Bitcoin wallet<\/a>, which provides an accessible option for smartphone users. The app looks to make Bitcoin use frictionless, functional, and help bridge the gap to fiat currency while remaining secure.<\/span><\/p>\n In this MyCelium Bitcoin wallet review you will find out about the features offered and whether it suits your requirements. <\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes, it is hard to decide if a crypto platform is a trustworthy dependable product. Your personal experiences may differ from what you read online or whether software feels ideal, so let\u2019s take a look at some public opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n Public opinion shines very favorably on the MyCelium wallet. The app is downloadable from the Google Play Store and retains a strong 4.5-star rating. \u00a0There are thousands of happy users shouting praises. You will always find a few poor reviews but most of these are down to personal issues rather than the wallet experience as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s quite hard to find too many discouraging haters of the smartphone wallet. I was expecting to read many security complaints or backups going awry. However, the Bitcoin world generally loves MyCelium. Even Reddit, which is a shoe in for criticism, gives glowing reports.<\/span><\/p>\n The reviews speak for themselves. The wallet\u2019s popularity stems from the expertly designed app. The MyCelium wallet is available on both Google Play and iTunes, which should suit about 99% of smartphone users. If you\u2019re still stuck using a Windows phone, then you have bigger problems, my friend.<\/span><\/p>\n Upon opening the app, you are immediately greeted with your Bitcoin wallet and simple easy-to-understand tabs. You\u2019ve got a QR code, send, and receive buttons accompanied by the current exchange rate.<\/span><\/p>\n Flick over to accounts and you can immediately backup the private key automatically generated for the wallet. This is an important feature that makes sure you take steps to secure funds if your phone is lost.<\/span><\/p>\n Your transaction history and address book accompany the account management to give an all-around wallet that makes using Bitcoin on the go really easy. <\/span><\/p>\n Add payment addresses via QR code scanning or copy and paste to avoid any mistakes. Transaction history links directly to the blockchain explorer of choice, blockchain.info being the default. This gives you the ability check payments on the blockchain in one touch.<\/span><\/p>\n Security is always a hot topic for wallet applications, no matter what platform you are using. It would be foolish to start transfering into a wallet without first checking security options and protocol.<\/span><\/p>\n The initial security thought with a smartphone wallet is be unnerving. You\u2019re essentially carrying around private keys everywhere you go. Not only do you risk dreaded malware hacks, there is also the worry that pickpockets could wise up to Bitcoin.<\/span><\/p>\n The app has the usual interface protection in the form of a personal pin number. It is needed to open the app, send funds, and export private keys. This should at least do the trick to prevent any malicious quick fingers when out and about.<\/span><\/p>\n The HD (hierarchical deterministic) wallet design means that backups generate securely using a set of 12 random words. These words should be kept safe as they represent your private keys (never put them online). In the event of phone loss or damage, you can quickly recover funds. This is a system used by hardware wallet<\/a> providers like Trezor<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n If you have large hardware or paper wallets you can keep an eye on them via MyCelium. Using the \u2018watch only\u2019 function you are able to see current funds while leaving private keys offline. Spending the funds is super easy but at your discretion. For example, simply scan your paper wallet QR code into the app and start spending.<\/span><\/p>\n Overall, for a smartphone wallet, it leads the way in protecting your Bitcoins. Security will always be a potential risk with phones that are connected 24\/7. The fact that hackers might find a way to root around your phone could expose your tokens. In order to maximize your security, it\u2019s recommended you keep large amounts in cold storage. <\/span><\/p>\n If you want a way to use Bitcoin in a functional day-to day-manner, then MyCelium is in your pocket ready to rock.<\/span><\/p>\n Make payments in seconds or receive funds via the QR code embedded on the front page of the wallet. There is also a quick camera feature to scan other codes, including the ability to turn on the camera light. This could be pretty nifty if you find yourself in a nightclub or other dark places needing to accept Bitcoin. <\/span><\/p>\n There are various options when setting your personal preferences, including select where you draw the exchange rate for reference. The wallet references Bitstamp, Kraken, Gemini and a selection of market rates. This is ideal for traders who want to keep a close eye on their investments.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"MyCelium](\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-1.25.22-PM.png\")
