A quick review of Current for Android and iOS.
The on-boarding process is fantastic, the best I've seen on mobile. The UI and overall UX is equally fantastic.
Having a built in Lightning wallet with full Zap support will make sending and receiving Nostr aware Zaps incredibly simple. Especially since it's all in one app.
I like the design choices and naming conventions for different Nostr elements. For example, using network settings instead of relays makes sense. It's more familiar to the average person.
There's even an easy backup and restore solution, allowing you to use seed words to restore your keys. Something Bitcoiners would be familiar with.
The concept and design are all great, but functionality isn't there yet. It's not all that usable compared to other offerings. I'll stick with Amethyst for now, even though Current has a better UI/UX.
