Eso arruina lo buena que es… ### 4/5 — Stop removing and changing themes *2025-06-26* I have loved the inclusion of various themes, but now everything has been removed and the colors chosen are bland and uninspiring. If you’re going to continue updating the themes and icon please allow us to have the option to save the previous themes, import/export them, and try not to remove things so quickly. ### 3/5 — The App is efficient and intuitive! *2025-06-08, version 5.0.0* 584cc ### 5/5 — IDK *2025-02-20* Send me minimum xmr to test if this app works or to donate idk.

Will write review on march 1st 2025 ### 5/5 — The best! *2025-02-05* Love this wallet as a hot wallet option! Can buy Gift cards, send Xmr and even swap! **Developer response:** 🫡 ### 5/5 — Wallet *2025-01-12, version 1.19.1* Best wallet actually… ❤️ ### 2/5 — Slow as… *2024-10-24* Receiving is crazy slow…. **Developer response:** Hi duug, As you've noticed, Monero sync times can take a bit longer than other cryptocurrencies due to the privacy features it has. We're working hard on background sync and can't wait to release it to help alleviate some of these issues. Please don't hesitate to contact in app support or reach out at support@cakewallet.com for more help. ### 2/5 — Graphical glitches *2024-09-03* Why is the app icon light themed on the home screen, but dark elsewhere? Lacks enough polish. **Developer response:** Hi Sarassine,Thanks for the feedback! We don't currently have support for changing/theming the app icon itself on iOS, but will consider adding that in the future.If you're having any issues with the app itself, please don't hesitate to use the in-app support or reach out at support@cakewallet.com and we'd be happy to help. ### 1/5 — Can’t Use Ledger Based XMR wallet *2024-07-29, version 1.16.1* I can’t restore my XMR wallet that is tied to my ledger. The app does not have an option to restore from ledger device so I can’t use it without creating a whole different XMR wallet. This is stupid, the other Cake app has the option to restore from hardware device, please make the app so that I can restore from a ledger hardware device, like the competition on Android please. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam beware *2026-07-18, version 6.2.1* total scam do not use this, you will lose your money. apple needs to delist ### 1/5 — Please add VoiceOver accessibility - Blind people deserve Monero *2026-07-18* I really want to use Cake Wallet because it is open source and supports Monero, but as a completely blind iPhone user, I simply can’t use it independently. VoiceOver accessibility is not where it needs to be. Many buttons are unlabeled or are announced simply as “Button,” making it impossible to know what they do. Navigation is inconsistent, focus sometimes jumps unpredictably, and some controls cannot be accessed or understood with VoiceOver at all. Tasks that should be straightforward, such as creating a wallet, sending funds, receiving funds, or navigating settings, become frustrating or impossible without sighted assistance. This is especially disappointing because a cryptocurrency wallet should allow users to maintain their independence and privacy. Blind users should not have to rely on another person just to manage their own money. I hope the developers prioritize accessibility by properly labeling controls, improving VoiceOver navigation, and testing the app with real blind users. Cake Wallet has the potential to be an excellent wallet for everyone, but until accessibility is taken seriously, I cannot recommend it to other VoiceOver users. ### 1/5 — Scam alerts *2026-05-28, version 6.1.2* Scam alert ### 1/5 — Looks like a scam *2025-10-30* It looks like many people loose their money after storing them in this app - the developers are probably lying about the wallet being “non-custodial” - they probably steal your private keys and then randomly choose people to steal their money even if they claim they don’t. After that they’re writing nice comments like “please contact our support” which does nothing. **Developer response:** Hi Josh, As I mentioned on your similar Cake Wallet review, Cake Wallet and Monero.com are entirely non-custodial wallets that puts you in charge of your keys, we have no ability to steal or scam you out of your coins. In addition, Cake Wallet and Monero.com are 100% open source which means that every line of code is in the open and reviewed by many developers and users outside of the Cake Wallet team. This means that we would have no way of sneaking in any code to scam or steal funds without being caught and destroying our reputation. We take self-custody seriously, and have no way to touch any user funds. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us in the in-app support or at support@cakewallet.com with any other issues or concerns you have and we'd be more than happy to help out. ### 1/5 — Lost access to wallet *2025-07-17, version 5.1.2* I just lost access to my wallet I can’t even use my code to unlock the app ### 1/5 — The sync does not work *2025-07-15, version 5.1.2* The synchronization doesn’t work in this app, tried different vpns and still it is 😪 ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2024-10-30* When you you uninstall the app and reinstall and you want to start over it keeps asking for your 2FA on your "other device". There is no other device, I reinstalled, I expect a clean slate, not your leftovers nagging me for a 2FA. What do I have to do - reinstall the OS? **Developer response:** Hi Sarassine,Thanks for the feedback! We don't currently have support for changing/theming the app icon itself on iOS, but will consider adding that in the future.If you're having any issues with the app itself, please don't hesitate to use the in-app support or reach out at support@cakewallet.com and we'd be happy to help. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-10-21, version 1.16.5* Scam ### 1/5 — Total scam *2024-08-25* Had to give my ss number. Tried to make an exchange twice. Both times, it just “processed” for hours. Contacted customer service. They told me it was my fault. When I showed the screen shot that I did everything correct & their system said “processing your request please wait” … then they wanted to say my bank declined them, then it was my credit card declined them. Both lies, I called my bank & my credit card, NOTHING was declined. So rather than try to fix the problem or take responsibility, they wanted to lie and put it on me. Now they have my Social Security number and my bank account credit card numbers. My experience has been horrible! tread lightly .. **Developer response:** Hi BellaFigurePro, We're so sorry to hear about your issues, and would love another chance to help you out! We do our best to make purchasing Monero simple in Monero.com, but there is always the potential of an issue with our exchange partner. Note that Cake Wallet ourselves do not ask for or store your payment information or personal details, as those are only ever sent to the exchange partner you use to purchase Monero.Please don't hesitate to contact in app support again or reach out at support@cakewallet.com with more details for more help. ### 1/5 — invalid argument *2024-08-16* i have tried several ways to restore anc creat a monero waller via the Cake app. Every time i get this "Invalid arguement(s):failed to load dynamic library monero_libwallet_blah blah blah blah,,,,,etc,etc,etc i dunno.. i was able to create one a few months ago but not anymore **Developer response:** Hi truveer, So sorry to hear about your issues!

I use many crypto wallets, and this one is among my favorites. I believe that apps should be simple and easy to use, and they got it right! ### 5/5 — Hello *2026-04-14, version 6.0.3* Hello developer when will Chinese language support beavailable？ ### 5/5 — It is really the best monero wallet *2025-12-17, version 5.6.4* The user experience with trezor 7 will be great, I just ordered a trezor 7 to pair via bluetooth with cake wallet , I run my own monero node, this wallet connects to my personal node, wallet is open source, save addresses first to never send to a wrong address, this wallet hits all the checkmarks ✅✅✅✅✅ ### 5/5 — great wallet *2025-11-16, version 5.5.1* It’s great, works as expected and includes goodies that expand the usability of Monero. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2025-10-14* I used to use Exodus wallet, and still do for some other things, for Monero. When they stopped supporting XMR I stressed and had to look elsewhere. Thankfully I found this Cake Monero wallet. The interface is slick and intuitive, and it syncs with the chain way faster than Exodus did. It also has in app swaps, through a third party which is risky, but I haven’t had any problems at all. Great app **Developer response:** So glad we could serve up a great experience! Thanks for the kind words.
