i think the lack of popularity of this wallet stems from the fact that it is a phone wallet not a desktop one. other than that it seems like one of the most active projects out there not to mention old, and the number of features and the quality of them are pretty good.
it also supports lightning network, although it seems to be a custodial wallet which is a bit strange. i have to look into it more.
a suggestion: include the name in the title.

Yea that's probably true, although it's the same thing with most good mobile wallets (Mycelium). The whole reason I tried this wallet in the first place was because there was no Electrum app for iPhone. With Bluewallet though I was able to import my keys which no other app was really able to do from another wallet. While I'm not really well versed in how this stuff works, Bluewallet seems to be at the forefront of cross compatibility and security which looks pretty promising.
After a brief play with Bluewallet, about the only thing that bothers me is that there is no "dark" theme. 
Other than that... it doesn't look too bad. I'll have to experiment some more and see how it goes.

I think most people (including myself) would be okay with giving up some features such as dark theme for more functional ones. I mean... who doesn't want to burn their eyes out at 2 AM while looking at their phone anyways? I still think its a pretty sexy wallet compared to most other mobile ones though
HCP, after you experiment with this wallet, can you compare it with Electrum Android?
I have to admit that this is first time to hear about this wallet, and it seems that this is a very serious project. For me (and probably anyone else) is important that users is in full control of private keys. It is also nice to have LN support, some people tested this some 6 months ago on this wallet and everything worked perfectly - means that today it can only be even better.

I've been testing Blue Wallet on main net for almost a week now. I tried every possible service with incoming and outgoing payments. I converted BTC with zigzag back and force, I tipped here, I used yalls, I played multiple games, and used maybe a dozen other things multiple times. I tested with anything and anybody I could find. The LN payments worked every single time, never failed once. On average payments took 1-2 seconds, feels much faster than a credit card. Scanning QR codes was painless and fast. I didn't have to fill out anything, like with credit cards, I didn't have to worry about my information stolen, or the amount to be incorrect. I could pay as small amounts as fractions of a cent. It was a really pleasant experience overall every time.
I know Blue Wallet is custodial, but the objective of the testing was to see if LN can be a reliable method for everyday spending. And I can categorically say that it is. It's better than any other payment method in many ways. I highly recommend you trying it out as well with a small amount of funds.

Wow I'm 99% sure that's the exact Reddit post I found when I was researching wallet alternatives. I really hope this wallet gains some popularity, as I'm sure many others would love to use it and enjoy it's unique features. I agree that it's super important to allow user's 100% to their private keys which most other mobile wallets don't support. I have high hopes for this wallet!
