Review on Tokenly Pockets by Danh Huỳnh Ngọc Công
Tokenly Pockets - a portable extension wallet
Tokenly Pockets is a portable extension wallet for storing and transferring Bitcoin. Its quality is not so bad with simple usage ant acceptable interface. However, the interface can be much and much better, more languages and fiat currencies for balance displaying can be added, and depositing Bitcoin should not cost any types of fees
Pros
- - Tokenly Pockets is an extension; therefore, it is very lightweight compared to the very heavy apps that require a lot of storage on devices
- - The interface is quite simple and focuses on making the functions obvious to the users. It is easy to navigate the buttons for functions and there is a support box to help the users if they don't know how to use
- - Sending and receiving Bitcoin is not difficult using the wallet. With sending function, we just need to press 'Send' button and enter the destination address and the amount of Bitcoin. Besides, press 'Deposit' when you want the address to receive Bitcoin from other wallets. Also, users of the wallet can send cryptocurrencies to the users of LetsTalkBitcoin dot com. Transaction history can be tracked simply on the wallet just by one click
- - Being a Hierarchical Deterministic wallet (HD wallet), Tokenly Pockets allows the creation of unlimited number of wallets which can be labelled freely
- - Users can start using the wallet by noting down the pass phrases provided by the wallet or using the pass phrases on Counterwallet dot io
- - Tokenly Pockets has established partnership with Glidera and Shapeshift to bring their services to the wallet. Users can quickly swap their currencies to Bitcoins and vice versa
- - The wallet also provide a news section that let users read the spotlight news on LTB forum. Users can create a signature for themselves too
- - The wallet is open sourced whose source code is shown on GitHub to ensure the transparency
Cons
- - The interface is not nice enough to satisfy the users as it is very outdated and 'boring'. I am looking forward to a UI update on the product
- - Depositing bitcoin into the wallet will get the users charged a little fee which is not so ideal
- - Users balances can be displayed in any kinds of fiat currencies so it is very inconvenient to use the converter from a third party
- - English is the only language supported by Tokenly Pockets. There should be at least 3 different languages or more to let users from all over the world use it more properly
- - Extension wallet is not the safest wallet and also not the best mobility wallet. Other kinds of wallet is obviously more competitive than this kind of wallet
