This article highlights the new features of BlockEQ Stellar Wallet release on the Google play Store. We have lots of great updates as a part of release 2.0.7.5, including:

  • Contacts tab that allows the user to add stellar addresses to his address book. This will be a much easier way to send funds.
  • The available balance now has a better calculation under native asset (XLM) and it exposes the balance available of the non-native assets.
  • The app now performs a better experience when the trading tab is disabled because there are no enough pairing assets to trade.
  • Is it easier now to understand that new accounts needs to be funded, It will show three new states of the wallet. `Unfunded`, `Updating` and `Active` states. Remember that any new wallet has to be funded with at least 1 XLM to be created and active.
  • Pull to refresh the wallet tab.
  • Added the optional passphrase to the `mnemonicPhraseView`. Before, It was only showing the recovery phrase.
  • Debug builds allow the user to change the horizon server to the TestNet (settings > debug > TestNetServer) Download the debug version here This is a perfect way to learn and experiment with Stellar network. https://www.stellar.org/laboratory/

On the other hand, I am proud to release the first three view controllers that are using a clean architecture MVVM. I also upgraded the Java Stellar SDK to 0.4.1, the Android Studio to 3.3, Kotlin to 1.3.11 and gradle to 3.3.0.
