Does not sync transactions
The phone app and the desktop app work independently. Fine if you have a single signature wallet. But the whole reason anyone uses Nunchuk is for the multisig capability. And for that purpose you want transactions that need to be signed to be synced to the other participating members. So the only way is to save a PSBT to a file, email or text the file to another participating user(s). Then the participating user(s) need to import the PSBT file then sign the transaction. Then it can be broadcast. Far too cumbersome.

Personal Node
I’m updating my review of Nunchuk because their support team responded extremely quickly and clearly explained the issue I was experiencing.
I was unable to connect my personal Start9 node on iOS using an SSL onion address on port 50002 with Nunchuk version 2.7.3. Support explained that version 2.7.3 introduced a new SSL certificate requirement and that they are already reverting that change in version 2.7.4.
What impressed me most was how fast Nunchuk support responded and that they were already working on a solution. That kind of communication and responsiveness is very important, especially with a Bitcoin wallet focused on self-custody.
I can currently connect to my node using TCP over Tor on port 50001, and I look forward to testing SSL again once 2.7.4 is released.
Based on my experience with their support and their quick response to the issue, I would recommend Nunchuk. It’s good to see a development team that listens to users and moves quickly to address problems.

Best multisig
Great hot wallet for paying bills and also for teaching friends about multisig.
Bitcoin price.
Nunchuk Bitcoin Wallet earns a solid 9.0 stars for its masterful balance of security and usability in the crypto wallet space.
First impression & onboarding: A lean 15MB download, it skips unnecessary sign-ups, requiring only a seed phrase backup—GDPR-compliant and refreshingly transparent.
Core functionality & daily use: Executes Bitcoin transactions with military-grade multisig, offline signing support, and Lightning Network integration. Syncs reliably across devices; CPU usage stays negligible during operations.
Design & UX: Spartan yet functional; clear navigation without clutter. Dark mode respects battery life, though accessibility options could be expanded.
Privacy & data handling: Impeccable. No third-party tracking, local data storage only, and easy account deletion. Open-source codebase invites scrutiny.
Monetization: Free, with optional donations. No hidden fees or aggressive upsells—a rare ethical stance in finance apps.
Battery, storage, and system impact: Minimal footprint; background processes are strictly limited.
Standout strengths: Unrivaled security features, privacy focus, and developer transparency.
Overall verdict + score: Best-in-class for security-conscious users. A permanent fixture for those prioritizing privacy. Power users and long-term holders, keep it. Casuals might find it overkill. Alternatives: BlueWallet for simplicity.

There is no second best
The title says it all. There’s honestly no better wallet for iOS. Hugo and the team are constantly making this wallet better and better as the months go by.
Almost perfect
Would love better jade integration for coin control
Solid-EDITED
I really like this wallet. The only reason it’s not my main driver is the lack of internal tor proxy. I hate having to turn on Orbot, which is so fickle. Then go into the app and pray that Orbot stays stable long enough for me to connect to my electrum server and get a balance.
Please add internal tor proxy 🙏 Fully Noded does this best on iOS, I’m sure Nunchuk could do too :)
EDIT: I learned that you can have Orbot always on and allow pass-through, so that any app that requires Tor will automagically connect, while the rest pass through on clearnet. With this fixed (on my end, sorry Nunchuk) this is now my main driver ₿ wallet.

Bitcoin price.
Amazing update having Bitcoin price right at the Home Screen.
By far the best OnChain Wallet EVER.
I’m so delighted with this wallet. I should have started using it way earlier in my Bitcoin journey! It can do single signature, as well as multi signature with EASE! I feel very safe using this. Highly recommended. Don’t trust, verify!
Need improvement in qr scan
Used to love it but lately it has been failing to scan QR codes frequently. Hope the dev fixed that soon because it has so much potential.
Impossible to read qr code
Qr code reader simply doesn’t work and can’t read qr code on coldcard
Terrible Performance
Terrible experience with this app. Transactions are painfully slow, and sending Bitcoin is overly complicated and full of issues. I expected better performance from a wallet focused on security, but the sluggishness and complexity make it completely impractical. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a smooth experience

A lot of potential but really falling short
UI is clean and I think there potential for this app. But I am pretty baffled that keys don’t persist across devices. Additionally I wanted to do some testing on testnet3, testnet4, and signet but my funds never appear for any of those networks while I am logged into its respective network setting.
The Future is Now
Simple to use, user friendly and fairly easy to understand everything.
NFC & Coldcard MK4 not working
NFC & Coldcard MK4 not working. When attempting to export a key form CC MK4 to Nunchuk wallet on my IPhone 16 Pro, the Nunchuck app attempts to transfer, but the NFC fields switches states back and forth and never finishes the transfer.
Love it!
Love this app in all platforms
Beautiful, Featureful, Buggy
Class-leading Bitcoin wallet in terms of features has too many sharp edges; easy to lock it up or crash it. Overall can't recommend it.
Crashes on 18.1 iPhone 16
Latest update never starts. It just crashes.
