I will be giving my honest review about this awesome wallet that currently sits at number 21 on the StateOfTheDApp wallet category rankings. I highly recommend you find somewhere quiet to read through this informative and interesting review of the ImToken wallet, that I made just for you.

Updated ImToken Wallet 2.0
ImToken Wallet was strictly an Ethereum wallet. With the adoption and usage of the mobile application by millions of users worldwide, there was the need for the Wallet to support not only Ethereum tokens/coins but also BTC, COSMOS and EOS tokens/coins. But that was not the only reason for the upgrade. Let me give you guys three of the most important features added to the updated version of ImToken Wallet.
Token Swap
Yea, we have all by there(most of us), where you have to transfer your crypto tokens/coins to an exchange platform just because you want to swap from one token/coin to another. Apart from the time wasted, you are also going to incur some transaction fees, which can be very annoying. All these issues can be eliminated with the ImToken Wallet 2.0. This wallet offers a one click token swap option - Instant Exchange Option. Just choose your desired pairing tokens, select amount, click and boom!!! Your tokens are swapped instantly.

Practical Tutorial On How To Set Up Your ImToken Wallet.
After seeing those awesome features, I know most of you want to start using the ImToken Wallet immediately. Without wasting any much time, let's get started.
First thing first, you will have to install the ImToken Wallet, by clicking here for Android users and here for IOS users. After you have downloaded and installed it.
Open the application, you will be asked if you want to create identity, meaning, create a new Imtoken account. Or if you want to recover identity, meaning, if you want to import an account. You should click on Create Identity. ImToken wallet supports multiple languages, you can choose the language of your choice, by clicking on English which is located at the bottom right corner of the page.
After clicking on Create Identity, you will get a pop-up stating ImToken's terms of service. Click on the circle icon, indicating that you accept their terms of service and then click on Continue.
After you have clicked on Continue, you will be asked to create a name for your account, set a password and a set hint to recover your password. After naming your account, setting a password and hint to the password, click on Continue.
After you have clicked on Continue, you will get a warning, telling you to backup your mnemonic keys. When you click on continue, you will get a pop-up warning you not to screenshot your mnemonic keys. Click on Understand.

My Experience
I had to uninstall my main ImToken Wallet, to create a tutorial on how to set up your ImToken wallet. So let's head straight to my ImToken Wallet, although I won't be showing balances(hehehe).
I really like using ImToken, its very easy & simple to use and at the same time very secure. Here are some of my transactions. To get there, you will have to click on Profile and then Notification
I'm a lover of games. I use the ImToken to play my Hyperdragons (you can check the review I made on this awesome crypto game, here). If you want to play DApps games or use some DApps, you can do it easily on ImToken by clicking on Browser. Let me give you glimpse of the procedures I follow when I want to play Hyperdragons using ImToken.
As soon as you click on Browser, you will see so many varieties of DApps. I either click on recent or use the search bar.
As soon as you click on the game, you will be asked to grant access of your ImToken Wallet address, so that, you can purchase items within the game easily.
Voila, you can begin to play Hyperdragons on ImToken Wallet. It's a super cool feature of this amazing wallet, which I personally love so much.
