IMO, the most important property of Masari is not the mobile wallet. It is the fact that Masari is a Monero fork, much like LTC is to BTC. So Masari has privacy features by default. They try to improve on the mining process and possibly implement blocktree sharding, in an attempt to improve scalability.

There are nowadays quite a number of Monero forks, not mentioning the other Cryptonote based coins. They all have the privacy features.
So imho a mobile wallet for a Monero fork is not enough for "moon". The only somewhat convincing part is that the dev is active and "brilliant" (which comes from a newbie so.. hmmm...), but yeah.. I personally am not convinced, at least not yet. I may research more though. I will help you with something though: I'll add that the link to the ANN page, since I'll go there for a read.

I'm a Monero holder/user. Small time. Never gave a single look to any of the forks, even if you tell me they are better and faster and whatever you want to call for it. Mobile wallet? CN fast? Brilliant dev? But can you name a merchant who will take Masari or any of the forks? I can't. And I'm not going to stress myself looking for one or finding exchanges to sell when I moon.

Fact is, Bitcoin also had all its forks and all were supposed to be better but they all failed eventually in adoption. Tech upgrades were simple, not to the complexity of the old chain. So why would I ever move to a fork?
