### 1/5 — Stuck on blue loading screen

*2026-05-30*

App worked fine. Now when I open the app and do Face ID it's stuck on hazy blue background not showing wallets or anything. FIX IT and I'll
Update the review

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE!!

*2026-03-24*

Hours upon hours and still have my btc in limbo with zero l-BTC 
Whereas moving BTC on the native chain usually takes me at most 2 hours and mostly 10-25 minutes. 
Stay far away from the liquid network unless you want to move money slower than native BTC chain 
I’ve always hated L2s but thought I’d give liquid a try. Thank you for reminding me why I stay far away from any and every L2 in existence.
At this point I’ve accepted that I lost a few hundred bucks that I did as a test. 
This scam won’t fool me twice
