Lightning wallet is still a little awkward but improving. ### 4/5 — Botões de carteira *2026-02-13, version 5.1.6* App muito bom, porém, tem problema nos botões da wallet, que faz relação a editar o nome e excluir a wallet. Pode ser melhorado. ### 4/5 — Falta que se pueda elegir UTXO de salida *2025-11-06, version 5.1.1* Falta poder elegir utxo de salida ### 3/5 — Privacy issues *2025-10-23, version 5.1.1* Collects too much data and you guys peep too much ### 2/5 — I cannot trade my funds in DePix *2025-10-22, version 5.1.1* I have balance in DePix and could not to trade. I bought L-BTC to pay fees but still cannot sell my DePix. ### 3/5 — Broken *2025-10-09, version 5.0.9* Broken. Stays on LOADING screen. Unable to remove wallets. ### 1/5 — Stores your information *2025-09-14* This app will save all your wallets. You connect to it even when you do not want it to. It will not allow you to delete the wallet on the app.. Now someone who open your phone can open the app and see all the wallets you have. You should be able to delete wallet and completely clear the app. ### 2/5 — No PSBTs *2025-09-11, version 5.0.9* Still doesn’t support PSBTs. What else is there to say? 🤷‍♂️ ### 4/5 — Great wallet, but could do with some improvement *2025-09-09, version 5.0.8* I would honestly give it 5 stars but I’ll stick with 4 until they get the Lightning wallet working without having to use the experimental feature. The app is great but needs to be made easier to use, lots of confusion with the different settings and things like deleting a wallet are just really hard to work out. But overall it’s really good. I like Blockstream and having everything open-source is what makes the difference. Keen to see the lightning wallet option on the desktop wallet too. ### 5/5 — User friendly *2025-08-31, version 5.0.8* Trust worthy and easy to navigate! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Personal Node *2026-08-16* I really wanted to like Blockstream Wallet, especially because it advertises the ability to connect to your own Bitcoin node. Unfortunately, the personal-node experience has been frustrating and unreliable. On my Windows desktop, I was able to connect to my Start9 Bitcoin node and successfully send a couple of transactions using Tor and my onion address. However, after logging out, I was unable to reconnect and kept receiving a “connection failed” message. The iPhone experience has been even worse. When connected to my personal node, outgoing transactions fail with a “General SOCKS server failure.” If I disable my personal node and use Blockstream’s servers instead, the transaction goes through immediately. I use the same personal Bitcoin node with other wallets without these problems, so the issue appears specific to Blockstream Wallet. For a Bitcoin wallet that promotes self-custody and the ability to use your own node, reliable personal-node connectivity should be a core feature, not something that works inconsistently depending on the device. The wallet itself has potential, but until personal-node support works reliably on both Windows and iPhone, I can’t recommend it for users who prioritize privacy, sovereignty, and running their own Bitcoin infrastructure. ### 1/5 — The. Worst. App. Ever. *2026-08-11, version 5.5.1* Don't do it. You'll be sorry. ### 1/5 — Caution *2026-06-26, version 5.5.1* Do not recommend. Not safe. ### 1/5 — It wasn’t broke, why ‘fix’ it? *2026-06-21, version 5.5.1* This redesign was completely unnecessary and it stripped the app of al its characher and appeal. Bring back Green!!!!! ### 1/5 — Horrendous update *2026-01-25, version 5.1.6* What is this redesign? ### 1/5 — Adam Back is compromised *2026-01-07, version 5.1.6* Wouldn’t trust Blockstream as far as I could throw them now. Also, what an absolute faff using a jade is compared to coldcard. I stupidly have two jades and now more money migrating to a safer and better hard wallet ### 1/5 — ?!??? *2026-01-03, version 5.1.6* What is this garbage redesign? ### 1/5 — Buggy and poor support *2025-12-17, version 5.1.5* I bought the jade plus and regret it. Support has been non existent and literally ghosted me after not being able to fix any of the issues. ### 1/5 — BEWARE IOS Users *2025-10-10* This app and the Jade cold wallet are both seriously flawed within the iOS system. Very problematic. Does not have logs which therefore when I was trying to work out a problem with their customer service, they’d were unable to help ??? Bitcoiners, It is not just SBF type fraud in the space which can turn one away from this technology BTC it is also all the companies and coders working in the industry that aren’t looking out for the average HODLER… ### 1/5 — BTC Balance is no longer updating. *2025-09-25, version 5.0.9* After switching to BLOCKSTREAM APP from Green wallet, my BTC balance is not updating. Under transactions, it shows as “received” but balance was not added to total displayed on watch only wallet. Running on iOS 26.0 on iPhone 15 pro. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yep *2026-08-13, version 5.6.0* Yea a great system ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-10, version 5.3.0* Highly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Facile et rapide *2026-01-23, version 5.1.6* !! ### 5/5 — Отличный кошелек *2026-01-23, version 5.1.6* Пользуюсь уже более пяти лет.
