The three wallets developed by Freewallet independent team have been released in July, Freewallet head Alvin Hagg says. They require iOS version 9.0 or higher.

“We are sharing Apple’s vision on product development. Keep-it-simple philosophy is what our users love about our products. Starting on iOS is a challenge for us, as iPhone users are much more sensitive to product design and user experience,” the press release quotes Hagg as saying.

Freewallet emerged less than six months ago, and it currently has 15 thousand users. According to statistics, 25% of the users are newcomers in the world of cryptocurrencies. The company increases its client base without marketing and PR expenses, Econotimes notes. Firewallet wallets are easy to operate and allow to make payments in cryptocurrency without much technical training.

“Freewallet is more focused on product development and customer service, than on promotion. We prefer providing timely support to our customers, rather than doing massive PR. We believe brand, loyalty and trust are built on customer experience, not on marketing budgets,” the company head explains.

Apple allowed adding to iTunes applications associated with digital currencies back in 2014. However, they must comply with legal requirements in the countries where the company provides its services. Prior to this, all apps for digital currencies exchange, including bitcoin wallets, had been removed by the decision of the corporation.

In April 2015, Bitpay, one of the leading bitcoin payments operators, announced the release of a new set for iOS software development. The set is created to develop new applications for the App Store based on BitPay system.

Currently, it is possible to download such well-known mobile wallets as Blockchain, Xapo and Coinbase from App Store.
