The Waves mobile app has been released on testnet. Download it to see what we’re working on and to try it out!

We’ve now released v1 of the Waves mobile app on testnet. Downloading it and getting started is very straightforward, so please check it out and let us know your thoughts!

The app is currently Android only, though we’re exploring creating a version for iOS, too. The chief difficulty here is ensuring it will be available to users, due to Apple’s policy of screening the apps it makes available.

Download the app for Android by clicking the link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/70697078/android-20170228.apk

You’ll be prompted to install the app, due to the download coming from an untrusted source. You may need to change the settings on your device to enable this.

Once you’ve downloaded and installed it, open the app. The UX should immediately be familiar. You’ll be prompted to create a new wallet, or to import an existing one. You should not use an existing wallet — create a new SEED and address for the purposes of testing. It is always good practice to record your SEED, though since this is testnet, you will not lose tokens of value if you lose it in this instance.

You’ll be asked to enter and confirm a password, just like in the lite client. Next time you log in, you can choose between creating/importing a new account, and opening an existing one using this password.

You’ll immediately recognise the UX from the Chrome lite client

You’ll need some testWAVES to play with the app, which you can get from testnet.wavesexplorer.com/faucet.

If you find a bug, or have feedback about the UX or any features you’d like to see included, drop us a line on Slack. As soon as we have a stable version we’ll be releasing it for mainnet, and adding further functionality and new features as they become available.
