This wallet treats security like a cute joke. The process to backup the secret phrase is such a frustrating experience, giving you less than 10 seconds to write 24 words before it auto locks. To unlock and continue, you need to accept two agreement pages and then complete an incredibly annoying word puzzle. I’ve never taken a screenshot of a secret phrase, never considered it nor have I kept a digital copy or used a feature to backup to iCloud but this wallet had me so close to breaking those best practices out of pure frustration.
Curious how the “Backup to iCloud” button was right there every time it locked. More curious is how an agreement page they force you to accept instructed against creating a digital copy of your phrase in the first place.
Please don’t play games with security.
Note to the Maiar Browser Extension crew: it’s common knowledge that forcing people to conform to your individual ideas of security just incentivizes people to store their password on sticky notes they quickly paste to the front of their monitors…

Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback!
I will communicate further with the team regarding that.
Thank you for your patience and support.

Kind regardsThe future of finance and financial freedom if you get in early. Maiar app is easy and secure wallet to use that is great for all levels. Perfect for getting your foot in the door to get introduced to decentralized finance. Links up to the Maiar Exchange easily and the soon to be Maiar NFT market place.
Eventually there will be a debit card linked to the account at some point. Highly recommend storing your crypto on here. Buy some EGLD and stake it to earn great APY. Prepare for the future of finance today.
I’ve been following and participating in the crypto space going on 6 years, have seen many wallets, lost many wallets. Maiar innovation is by far the best seamless way to navigate the blockchain, its as if you are not even in the crypto world. Do your self a favor, learn how to operate this beast and find your way to controlling your financial freedom! Take back your time!!
I don’t normally write reviews, but it’s worth saying that the Maiar app by the Elrond dev team is the most intuitive and beautifully designed mobile crypto wallet I’ve used to date. The consistency the developers at Elrond have given in making sure this app runs seamlessly is unparalleled. Elrond is the greatest L1 solution in the crypto world, and I have high hopes for the future of this project
This makes holding and sending your egld so easy … you send by a hero tag (which is basically a user name ) instead of a long address
Also being able to stake so simply and get 13% yield is unreal
Best app in the crypto space !!!
After doing the research work that lead me to use Maiar, I find it is an absolute pleasure to understand it, to understand what it does, and to use.
I’ve never left a review before but I have been overly impressed by how well this app works to store and stake my EGLD. Highly recommend anyone to try it out for themselves. Quick to load and easy to navigate…. I think it goes to show all the good work the team at Elrond is doing.
I got 2/5 through the set up process and then no matter what I try it crashes. Too bad. When I finally (somehow) got to a place to purchase EGLD, I was allowed by the app to give my ID, personal info, and photo (everything necessary to steal my identity) only to be told I can’t purchase from my country (USA). They should’ve told me that before I divulged my personal information and documents, putting myself at risk. Actually, I should have been told before downloading the app. I guess I’m telling you. It is such a shame because this company looks so promising and is doing so much right, but this app and their website are a disaster!

Hello!
We thank you for your feedback and really appreciate your input on the matter. We are doing our best to have eGLD purchase options available for US as soon as possible, but the process is pretty complex and there are many hurdles that need to be overcome.This is exactly the kind of wallet that will prime crypto currency and specifically Egld to the mainstream. Beautiful, easy to use, and all the information you could ever need
I’m trying to import from my iPhone to my iPad. It says my seed phrase is wrong. I know it is correct because I took great care with it. Seems there is NO customer service for help. Be careful because if you lose or break your phone, you might not be able to recover your wallet!
