We are living in the initial time of Cryptocurrencies and it will grow further in coming years. Technology will evolve in coming years and we will many more new developments in future. Currently we have many cryptocurencies but Etherreum is one of the biggest and popular cryptocurrency and blockchain platform. It has many Dapps Wallet like MEW (MyEtherWallet), Metamask etc. Though we are groring in terms of tehnology but hacking is a biggest and serious issue in crypto world. Every other month we get to hear the news about cryptocurency exchange hacks. Exchange wallets are at high risk because we have no control on them so when I am not trading then I prefer to keep my funds in Decentralised Wallet instead of exchange wallet.
Today I am going to review about ImToken which is built on Ethereum Platform.

This Dapp Wallet is available in both platform of smartphone. Android users can download it from here and apple phone users can have the app in your phone using this link
So does not matter what type of smartphone you are using and imToken team has made it available for you.
I downloaded the android version of imToken 2.0 wallet and tried all the function of this app. I liked the icon, logo and color of the app.
This tiny wallet icon is looking cool in the phone and I liked it at first place.
Once I tap to open the wallet it open in this color which is so elegant.
Wallet app is open and ready for tranactions. Wallet setup is very simple and easy. It clearly shows that development team has focus to make the wallet simple to setup and easy to use. Anyone can set up the wallet and no expertise required to do that and once setup is done then you can start eploring the app.
Once app is opened then you can see there are 4 tabs- Wallet, Market, Browser and Profile. Going through these tabs you can manage your wallet, check the prices of various coins in market tab, surf various portals and manage your profile.
imToken wallet support for Ethereum, Bitcoin, Cosmos and EOS which is a new cryptocurrency. Support of EOS is a great thing with this wallet as EOS is getting more popular and this wallet is already ready to have it in its platform.

This is setting page of wallet and you get the option to enable or disable Touch ID, Hide your balance, Change your language, currency as well.
What I liked about imToken-
I am pretty much imressed with my expericence. This works great in terms of speed, easy to use, simple but innovative UI and various options provided throuhg tabs. Above all I liked that they have provided support and feedback option in the app which is defnitely a great addittion. It shows that they care for their users and available to support. They are supporting EOS which a new crypto coin and it shows that their development team is working to stay updated with latest additions. Biometric and QR is a plus in the wallet which people love to use now a days to save time and its convenient too. Since this is build on ETH platform and support ERC-20 which makes it a strong DApp.
What I dont like-
Though I did not face probelm while using the app but one thing I want the team to work on. imToken is very good wallet but not much popular so they should work on its promotion to spread awarensss and bring more users onboard. I see they are available on various social media and even quite active in Twitter. Boost in promotion will surely give them more users.
Conclusion -
imToken wallet is easy to use and team focused to keep the simple but fully features so that people can use it without any longer setup.
This wallet giving you an option to do more with your wallet. In terms of security, It is one of the most secure wallets available. I noticed that this wallet works on app only and there is no web version of it which I feel is okay as most of the people using though smartphone. They might consider to have web version as well to give user one more option.
Rating-
I rate this wallet 4.5 out of 5
