This is my Review / Overview of the Exodus wallet.
I have been using Exodus wallet for a little while so I decided I'd share an overview and review it as well
-
Introduction :
Exodus wallet from Exodus.com is meant to be a wallet with the purpose of having a nice looking and an easy to use user interface, but it seems to be good at everything else as well. With support to many features and crypto to a great UI. Continue reading to know more!

The interface :
The User Interface is really clean and nice to look at, as it is not bloated and has nice colors, and it is easy to use without any complicated mess. It's appearance can be customized a little bit from the settings to change things like the theme. I can not say it is 100% perfect but definitely seems to be better than anything else i tried.

The usability :
The app itself can be a little laggy rarely (for me at least) but generally it's smooth and you can do what you want to do in a couple of clicks without any annoyances and quickly, thus using this wallet is very efficient and will waste no time at all. Updating the app is sometimes a little slow, it does not show you the download's progress, which can be annoying and it is a little weird considering the rest of their perfect UI. I prefer to manually update it by re-downloading the app, seems to work faster and better for me, and no data is lost.
-
Profiles/account :
The creation and use of an account seems to be just like any other wallet, You get a recovery phrase to avoid losing the wallet and thats it. You can lock the wallet with a password and can set the wallet to auto lock after a period of inactivity, nothing new and it works. It also allows you to have multiple profiles if you want multiple separate wallets within the same app. And the wallet/profiles can all be synced across multiple devices if you have the wallet on both desktop and on your Smart-phone for example. Also it supports the use of the Trezor hardware wallet with some of the cryptos available in the app.
-
the features :
The app consists of multiple tabs:
- The Portfolio: This tab shows you all your assets in one place with multiple extra information about them available like the how much you lost/gained in the last 24 hours, the best and worse performing assets you have and also shows you the graphs of the value of each coin you have added to your profile. this page seems to be a good overview and works well.
- The Wallet: This tab is where you can manage each crypto you have, send and receive, and also exchange (swap) the coins in your wallet. You can exchange between all the assets in you wallet which is handy. Theres a top bar where you select any of your assets, or add more to your profile, then the selected asset you can receive, send and exchange. For each you can see a history of its transactions, a description of the coin, related videos available, and the latest news about it. You can also view your private keys from there.
- the exchanging: This tab is pretty simple , you can exchange between all the 200+ coins the app supports and between portfolios too. Just choose the amount you want to exchange and confirm.
-
Apps (plugins) :
the app also supports the installation of extra "apps" which are like plugins or add-ons that add extra features like the ability to stake coins, view Solana NFTs, Betting on sports, and a bunch of other stuff too. Im not sure how good the features of each app is, but it's a nice thing to have access to a lot of things in one place.

Verdict / TLDR:
Overall it seems to be beginner friendly to anyone new to crypto, secure enough, supports over 200 cryptos, it provides you with the keys to said crypto so you actually own them, and provides nearly every feature I could think of that a wallet could have. I Never had any problems yet after using it for quite a while, it's by no means a perfect wallet but it seems to be better than the others in my opinion. Another thing worth mentioning is that the app is closed source, so no access to code is given to know about everything going on with your money, but it could also mean a little bit of extra protection. I'd give about an 8.5/10. please do share any extra info/experiences you might have had with this wallet, and any other thing in the comments below. I thought I'd make this in case anyone was interested in such a wallet and to know if its worth it or not. Thanks for Reading
