It is a mobile first app but has been widely criticized for maintaining control of users keys. There have been extensive rumors that the platform has been involved in stealing customer funds.

After slowly developing a foothold in multiple coin specific wallets free wallet released its multicoin wallet. It allows you to buy trade between multiple popular altcoins. Most trades are performed 'off chain' meaning they perform them within their own network and they are not on the official Blockchain. This has the added bonus of making them instant but many are concerned about security.
