| App Review | – | We've tested Kraken in a live account and it's an intuitive app, especially compared to alternatives like Binance. You can explore tokens, manage your portfolio, and set up a buy, recurring buy, sell or convert assets in a few taps after pressing the '+' icon in the bottom menu. 2FA and biometric login make for a secure mobile experience, while it's one of the few crypto apps to offer a route to secure potential prop funding from your palm. |
