Long suffering users of Apple's iPhone whom have hitherto been restricted to using Skycoin from their desktops only, can now let out a collective sigh of relief as the Skycoin iOS wallet is now available for download from the app Store.
The wallet, secured by a user defined pin, boasts all the functionalities and features which are now considered standard for a high end mobile crypto wallet application. Users can create new wallets, load existing wallets from seed, check a wallet’s balance, and view a transaction log for all wallets hosted in the app. Oh and lest we forget the most important function of all, send and receive Skycoin.
The interface is crisp, user friendly and intuitive with most functionalities available via a single tap.
The home screen features a handy tie in to the current Skycoin price feed which automatically tallies the Dollar worth of the total Skycoin from all wallets loaded on the app. Gone are the days of checking the price and manually calculating your Skyworth. Wallets and ballances are all displayed on the home screen and individual wallets can be expanded to view multiple addresses with their respective Skycoin and Coinhour balances.
When sending Skycoin from a Skycoin iOS wallet app on which multiple wallets are kept, the user is able to select which wallet on the app to send coin from using a handy drop down box which displays the ballances of the individual wallets. A QR code reader is also built in to the send screen for quick and convenient acquisition of the send address.
To receive Skycoin to the wallet, the user can either copy the wallet address with a single click and share it or display the QR code of the desired receive address to be scanned by the sender. A complete transaction log can be convenientlly accessed directly from the app.
In the fast moving world of crypto, access to the users wallet via mobile is imperative for a coin to remain competitive while it can be argued that large scale adoption is dependent on ease of access and use. The release of Skycoin's iOS mobile wallet completes the Skycoin wallet application stable as the Skycoin wallet is now available for all major desktop and mobile operating systems, making it broadly accessible.
