"Good app! Relatively new to the crypto world, I've tried about 8-9 different wallets and Robinhood has been my favorite so far. Their interface is outstanding; you're able to see Live market data for current crypto prices; you can view returns by total returns or 24 hours, either by dollar amount or percentage. The buying process is instantaneous. The only improvement I'd like to see is hopefully they will adopt ALL ISO20022 compliant crypto. 🚀 💯"
