I will provide you guys with an update on how this situation turns out. Today I send $4000 and tried to send $4000 to my other wallet from this app. So far it was been pending for 2 hours when this app works instantly . I have emailed customer support and will update you guys how this situation is handled and it turns out. I hope this isn’t a scam like the other reviews have said before mine . Update #2-10/9/2025 - My first transaction failed and my $4000 was returned to this Satoshi wallet. I tried sending in smaller increments of $500 and it seems to work like a charm. Thanks guys , this is legit . Good app , 5 stars ### 2/5 — About satoshi *2025-10-09, version 1.4.2* I have not use this app is it real ### 3/5 — Nothing to complain about *2025-01-24* Resolved my account being restricted fast enough. Thanks guys **Developer response:** we resolved the issue within a couple of hours and you completed your transactions the same day. ### 2/5 — can’t recommend *2024-11-24* on the positive side it has a kyc lightning wallet. on the negative side there’s no ability to convert to on chain. the fees aren’t transparent and not disclosed when sending sats. i sent 1M satoshis and got blind sided with a 3300 sat fee that i had no clue they were going to charge. strike is still the best wallet by far in the US for a lot of reasons. this one has s feature incomplete and the pricing is sketchy. ### 1/5 — Scammmmmm app don’t use *2024-10-29* I believe this app is scam. I sent in 970 dollars now and tried to send out. Never would it go through. I guess it is just a trap app and I am making sure Apple pulls it down. This is insane You responded that it cleared on my end yet my money is still stuck in your app. You guys are thief and I am talking to Apple already to bring down this app before others fall victim **Developer response:** After you contacted support@vipsats.app, we explained the reason of failed lightning payment attempts in your case, and promptly refunded the balance via an onchain transaction. It would be nice to update your review accordingly, thank you ### 1/5 — Scammmmmm *2024-10-23* I believe this app is scam. I sent in 970 dollars now and tried to send out. Never would it go through. I guess it is just a trap app and I am making sure Apple pulls it down. This is insane **Developer response:** Payments on the Lightning network do fail sometimes. In such cases, we recommend lowering the amount, which increases the success rate. We believe your transactions completed in the end. It would be fair to correct your review, thanks. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-08-27, version 1.4.1* Scam ### 3/5 — Hmmmmm *2024-06-25* Well I must give it a 3 given the fact that it doesn’t send me a verify number to my email when I sign up but it repeatedly says it’s sending me one I guess I cannot use it anyone else have this problem ??? **Developer response:** please check your spam folder. If not there, write to support@vipsats.app ### 3/5 — gmail addresss *2024-06-23, version 1.4.1* it doesnt give me the code. I tried again and again..please fix the bug ### 4/5 — Good app could be a little better *2024-04-04* The good: interphase is very simple. Works I have sent test amounts to other lightning wallets and back. The ability to deposit on chain bitcoin and it automatically converts to lightning. Super convenient and Wallet of Satoshi (my comparison wallet) doesn’t do this. Very convenient links to purchase bitcoin Ability to send a voucher to get others involved in bitcoin. This is key for adoption. The bad: the notifications do not pop up as banners on iPhone. The notification of success will only occur in a set time during transaction. When I was sending lbtc to the Satoshi wallet from exodus buit in wallet I timed out on Satoshi wallet end and even though transaction went through it doesn’t say it did until an app refresh. Wallet of Satoshi functions in background’s and has this nice exciting pop up when balance is paid. In ability to have store contacts. The ugly: Can’t just “send all” like Wallet of Satoshi and automatically subtract fees to empty wallet, very annoying. Can’t modify by usd when sending a manual amount. No backspace only a C button. The security doesn’t seem to work unless you exit the whole app and there is NO Face ID. This is my wallet I would like better security please Over all I’m pleased and I’m sure this will get better. I love the good things I mentioned above and this company is off to a great start. Thank you, please consider my feedback and I’ll come back and rate this much higher. **Developer response:** thank you for your review and suggestions, we will continue improving ### 1/5 — Thieves *2024-03-23, version 1.3.3* They are thieves no one to patronize them, after depositing funds when you try sending to another lighting address they will tell you insufficient funds ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible support *2026-02-16* I emailed support for some issues I was having with a transactions. And they have yet to get back to me with any answer of my transaction! **Developer response:** support responds to all requests within 24 hours ### 1/5 — Pending lightning transaction. *2025-10-05, version 1.4.2* Made a transaction and its been pending for about 7 hours, sent mails and no response! Attend to this i don’t want to leave a bad comment yet ### 1/5 — Good app *2025-08-20, version 1.4.2* Good app ### 1/5 — Sending my funds out *2025-08-02, version 1.4.2* How can I send my funds out of this wallet to an external wallet (cex) I can’t really think straight anymore I need an answer right away ### 1/5 — I’m unable to send out *2025-06-13* Very poor easy to get funds in but hard to get your funds out this is really getting me mad and I hope I’m not getting scammed **Developer response:** there is a big SEND button on the main screen to send to any other Lightning enabled wallet or exchange. ### 1/5 — scam *2025-06-03, version 1.4.2* i tried to reddem an azteco bitcoin voucher, it was “processing” never fully went through, but when i try to redeem it on another app. it says it has already been redeem ### 1/5 — I am unable to withdraw my funds *2025-05-04, version 1.4.2* I am unable to withdraw my funds ### 1/5 — 1.5k locked in the void *2025-04-14* This is not self custody, and i tried making a withdrawal, and it’s not on chain and shows as “pending” in the app for over 10 hours. I have contacted them and yet to hear back. If this gets solved I will remove my review, but as it stands I have 1.5k being held in some random hot wallet they own. App interface is straight out of 2012 and I honestly downloaded this drunk thinking it’s a normal app. I do not understand how Apple lets this on their app store, and you must be an ape to think this is real **Developer response:** as we explained in our email your payment got stuck due to routing issues, which can happen in the Lightning network, especially for higher amounts and when the destination node is not well connected. Since then the issue has been resolved, will you correct your review now? ### 1/5 — Scam alert *2025-01-22* This app is a trap. I transferred in $300 and immediately my account was restricted and I can’t access or transfer out my funds anymore! Really heartbreaking. This should be taken of the App Store **Developer response:** we resolved the issue within a couple of hours and you completed your transactions the same day. ### 1/5 — SCAM WARNING *2025-01-02, version 1.4.2* Do not download!! This is not the real Wallet of Satoshi app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-10-27, version 1.4.2* Great app ### 5/5 — Nice and perfect *2025-07-05, version 1.4.2* It’s so fast ### 5/5 — The best *2025-01-03* It’s so easy and convenient to use deffo recommend! ### 5/5 — my fav wallet *2024-10-16, version 1.4.1* this app is secure , tnx team 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Im impressed *2024-06-27* I think that this has become one of the best apps for people wanting to engage in doing more with their time and efforts. It facilitates the increase in commerce generated by increased traffic in the satoshi and crypto currency exchange, satoshi has a lot going on for it and I enjoy interacting with the app, since it’s on the Lightning network the ease of usage is really there. Kudos yalls. Try this system for yourselves.! ### 5/5 — Simon willoughby *2024-06-14* Thanks to the admin for the quick support. You just have to follow the limit to be able to withdraw, which is cool and safe to me. 😊 ### 5/5 — best wallet so far *2024-06-07, version 1.4.1* iyz gpid ### 5/5 — Can’t send out coins over since all weekend *2024-06-02* Hi this is a great app, but I can’t send out any coin all weekend it keeps saying pending then insufficient coin, when i have more than i wish to send out ? **Developer response:** transactions may be pending for a short time while trying to find a lightning payment route. Thanks for contacting us at support@vipsats.app and we believe your transactions completed successfully after trying again ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-03-25* Very convenient and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-03-07* Works great and super user friendly! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
