Thanks for your submission. I installed the wallet on two iOS devices and spent just a few minutes with the app. When trying to restore a wallet I got an error I later asked the wallet for an address, sent funds to that address, and asked the wallet for another address and it did not give me a new address (as required for listing). On the Send screen, the app asked me to "Edit gas" and gave me a screen including Max Priority Fee, Gas Limit and Nonce which are not Bitcoin terminology (at least in this context). I will be candid here: The errors and inability to restore funds I encountered while trying to restore a wallet, and the general UI issues and cryptic error messages I encountered while using the app for only a few minutes along with disregard for Bitcoin terminology/concepts do not reflect a wallet which is at the level required for a bitcoin.org review. While other members of the community may be willing to proceed with such a review, I feel I should let you know that I personally will not be available for that review. |

@hicaru Sounds good! Thanks! Be sure to carefully review the listing requirements. Some are fairly terse, so please feel free to reach out for any help or clarification. You can open a new issue, or actually just ask right here. Since you seem receptive to input, I'll provide some extra comments here that are very subjective and not directly related to the listing criteria and thus I would not normally mention. The general UX seemed very confusing compared to most other wallets. The three icons across the bottom meant absolutely nothing to me as well as the scattered UI elements on the page other than the Send and Receive buttons (and only because they were labeled in English) and the gear icon. Every other UI element/icon on the page was a total "whack-a-mole" and on more than half, when selected and a page popped up, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do on it or what it was telling me. There is sufficient obfuscation in the UI such that the few times I went looking for something I had already found once (such as changing the address type) I had absolutely no idea where to look again. There is definitely some room for usability improvements. |
Hi, i want to add Bearby wallet to the list.
Bearby is a non-custodial bitcoin wallet written in Rust. It has post-quantum key storage which i think is pretty unique compared to other wallets here. Available on Android, iOS, macOS and Linux.
