Inroduction

Steemwallet is a open source, fast and secure wallet DApp built in steeb blockchain. it is founded by #roelandp and released 18th of December 2018. This Steemwallet supports multiple accounts and you can add by tapping on username in the app and selecting add account option.
It is currently ranked at #467 at stateofthedapps website. It supports only STEEM and SBD and available both for ios and android platform. This wallet gives option to use QR codes and Biometric (touch ID) which saves time and makes it easy to use.


Features of Steemwallet-

This wallet offers three amazing features which makes it different than other wallet-

  • Multiple Account login- Usually wallets are offering single account support but steemwallet has gone to next level with this option and supporting multiple account in one app.

  • Receive by showing QR code- Sending funds using QR code makes it super easy. Sender need to scan the QR and can send quickly. Its time saving and conventient feature.

  • Sign & send transaction using Biometric support- Now a days smartphones are coming with touch-ID and steemwallet has already added this feature which is great addition by the developer.

  • Speed- This wallet works amazingly fast and during my usage of the app it never lag or crashed.

  • Safety- with steemwallet, no need to worry about security as it works on highest level of security know as AES256.

How to get started with Steemwallet?

1- Visit the website
Website homepage will open like this and this is the steemwallet's web portal.
You can choose the option of sign up at the top right corner of home page. The sign up pop up box will ask for your details after asking your permission as below. Then after entering your details - your username, your email address, your password and your key - your wallet will be active instantly

2- Another way is- download app from Google Play store or iOS store

I downloaded android app and added my steem account. If you dont have steem account then you can create a one using create account option provided in the app. Since I have it already then I have added mine. My steem profile photo is showing here and this interface is very nice.
Its also showing my wallet balance of STEEM and SBD along with value in USD however there is an option to change currency and balance will reflect in the currency selected by you.

Along with my balance, it also shows the transaction history to keep a track on all the transaction like you can see in below snapshot. Send and receive options are provided at the bottom of the app

QR code is a great feature provided by steemwallet and it gives use er a an easy way to receive funds. One can transfer steem or SBD using this QR.

is steemwallet safe and secure ?

Yes, It is safe because it uses the AES256 encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard 256 bits). This encryption is available in 3 Key sizes- 128, 192 or 256 bits and steemwallet uses the highest one which makes highly secure so you can keeo your funds without worry and transact safely with peace of mind.

What I liked about steemwallet-

I used this app for couple of hours today and my overall experince was so good. Fast, simple and secure based on AES256 encryption.

  • Biometric is supported (depending on your phone feature)
  • QR code facility for transacting with ease.
  • User Interface is simple and easy to use.
  • Widget configuration is available.
  • High standard of security

What I did not like about steemwallet-

Though app is quite fast, clean UI and safe but its still missing many functions. They have not added support or feedback option so if user face any issue with the wallet then there is no way to ask for support.
They should also add market option like few other wallets do to have a wider view about the crypto world.

Conclusion

Overall I liked steemwallet Dapp because of various reasons like, easy account set-up, eye comfortable color and photo shwing on page, biometric support and stabiloty of the app. Undoubtedly @rolandp had done a great job by making this awesome app for steem users. Its like a great gift to all steemian where they can keep their funds safe and secure.

Hello, @reeta0119!

Thank you for your contribution to Utopian. As you rightly pointed out, the blockchain technology is here to stay, and the whole concept of cryptocurrency is still in its early stages. Now, I certainly agree with you that a secure wallet is necessary in order to keep your funds safe, and making the right choice can be a difficult task, especially considering the wide range of alternatives provided these days.

This one in particular is a very useful tool, and I appreciate the fact that you took the time to promote it with an informative blog post. The post is also comprehensive and well-illustrated with relevant images, and I like all the information provided, but I have to admit that I wanted to read a little bit more about your personal experience with the application. Nevertheless, you provided insights into your personal views and thoughts, and I appreciate the effort you put into your work.

That said, the post did have serious issues of style and proofreading, and I'd be happy to cite a few examples in a follow-up comment, if you wish. Furthermore, you forgot to include the link to the github repository for this project, but as this is a well-known project, I was able to find it.

To sum up, this was a good effort, but there are areas where you can improve, and I hope this comment will help you with that. Please make sure to read our guidelines; this will certainly help you provide better contributions in the future.
