Cryptonator
Very basic Ease of use,  High Privacy,  Wallet platform Private Keys Stored

Cryptonator is an online wallet for multiple cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum etc. and available for download on Android and iOS. The wallet platform has a built-in exchange feature with fast and easy direct transactions and instant trade for many altcoins in one personal account, but does not meet the highest security standards with no HD or multi-sig features.

The Cryptonator wallet platform offers the possibility of making automated instant exchanges without buy/sell orders and is accessible 24/7 worldwide. It also acts as a calculator for altcoins allowing users to find the price of any cryptocurrency related to another one or several fiat coins. Existing wallets cannot be imported to Cryptonator and exchange fees are pretty high.

The Cryptonator wallet platform is a product of the Cryptonator company which was launched in 2014 by Brian and Andy Chen and is based in Hong Kong, China. The company has no other products besides the online wallet and Brian Chen acts as current CEO of Cryptonator.

Cryptonator wallet platform is easy to use by everyone, both experienced traders and miners and newbies in the crypto world, it does not require users to have technical background and has a simple, yet modern interface and design. However, it does not offer absolute certainty over revealed exchange rates and the rates are composite prices, thus making the wallet not suitable for investment needs.

Summary:

Cryptonator is really more of an exchange than an online wallet. It supports many cryptocurrencies with instant exchange between them. Their portfolio supports over 500 cryptocurrencies and tokens and allows tracking their actual value in USD, EUR and other fiat money. The security of your funds is dependent on the reliability of the wallet platform and exchange rates are high.
