The Airbitz mobile Bitcoin wallet is a decentralized, secure, and backed up Bitcoin wallet that provides true financial autonomy & privacy for users.

Airbitz is like the swiss-army knife of Bitcoin wallets, but man, you've got to stop starting your reviews of the wallet with that line..I think I've read it maybe three or four times now. Nonetheless, yes, Exceptionally well coded wallet which implements libbitcoin for source and has one of the, if not, the best curated directories to spend your coin of anywhere you can look.
Airbitz is the only wallet I recommend. Once you understand the inner workings of how it works, you'll discover that... It's light years ahead of the competition when it comes to security, and privacy, and decentralization, and it's crazy easy to use. No other wallet can compare to its security, privacy, and decentralization. And no other wallets seem to even care about making them easy for normal people to use. If Airbitz company and servers were to disappear overnight, your wallet would continue to work uninterrupted. Airbitz is what I recommend small to medium sized merchants to use to accept bitcoin too. Nothing could be easier or more intuitive. You just have to install it and try it --- on Android and iPhone.
Listen to the interview Presentation of the various types of bitcoin wallets and how each one balances security, privacy, and ease of use.
