Description
Bitkey is the safe, simple, and secure way to own and manage your bitcoin. It’s a mobile app, hardware device, and a set of recovery tools all in one wallet.
Control
If you hold bitcoin with an exchange, you don’t control it. With Bitkey, you hold the private keys and control your money.
Security
Bitkey is a 2-of-3 multi-signature wallet which means there are three private keys protecting your bitcoin. You always need two out of three keys to sign a transaction, giving you extra protection.
Recovery
Bitkey recovery tools help you recover your bitcoin if you lose your phone, hardware, or both, without needing a seed phrase.
Manage
Use the app to send, receive, and transfer bitcoin safely on the go. For added protection, you can set a daily spending limit on your phone.

Ratings and Reviews
Lacks basic protection features
The app’s security could use significant improvement. Considering it handles sensitive transaction. Adding options like facial recognition, a passcode, or even multi-layered security would greatly enhance protection. This would not only secure users’ data but also position the app as a more competitive and trustworthy platform. Security should be the top priority for an app managing such financial transactions.
Excellent App
Very simple to use and a much safer multi-sig storage solution for Bitcoin. Does exactly what it says ‘on the tin’.
Not overly secure
I have to say I’m a little shocked at the lack of security on this app
There is no passcode or face unlock options to secure the app which should have been number 1 priority considering you can just use up to £200 without protection
Secondly I’m bemused as to why no wallet seed is given as an option, this should be at least an option with a warning about the possibility of issues should it not be stored well
I know this is aimed at newcomers to the Bitcoin infrastructure but I feel simple things like this should have been implemented from day one and more guides on how bitcoin works would be nice fore those that don’t know about it
