Breez: Lightning Client & POS 4+

Good as a Lightning wallet, but not competitive for swaps

I appreciate that Breez has a non-custodial wallet that integrates Lightning and BTC. But they have some limitations: you cannot create multiple wallets (unlike Green), you cannot restore a Breez wallet on another wallet app (unlike Aqua and Green), you cannot use your Breez wallet app on multiple devices simultaneously (unlike Aqua and Green), Breez has not integrated Liquid yet (unlike Aqua).

I have hopes of good developments in Breez for both the Liquid and Lightning layer technology. In my current testing and comparison with Green, Muun and Aqua the fees for swaps in Breez from Lightning to BTC are not competitive with the others. Green doesn’t offer swaps but their Liquid wallet is non-custodial (their Lightning wallet is still in Beta). Aqua swaps via L-BTC for cheaper fees, and Muun swaps via Lightning for the cheapest fees. Breez mobile app is good if you deal in Lightning only, but the swap feature is pointless until it becomes more cost effective.

Good functionality but poor experience

The phone gets very warm when listening to a podcast, it’s not acceptable. Would be 4/5 for wallet

Developer Response ,

Can you please try again and let us know if it's better now?

Looks like the best, but doesn’t work

I did research on mobile wallets and landed on Breez. I sent a test payment from my hardware wallet to the address Breez gave me and I get the error “Failed to add funds: rpc error = Unknown desc = error in payment response”

Ugh. Fails at basic functionality like receiving funds.
