- (2025-01-14) Stephen Vanderwarker: Wonderful extension! Tied together with my Albyhub and BAM I'M SENDING SATS in seconds. Much love 💜🫂🧡
- (2024-12-22) John S: Just signed up and got this message: "The shared wallet that you use is being deprecated in favor of the Alby Hub wallet. To continue sending and receiving payments setup your wallet by January 3, 2025." Apparently, there will be a monthly fee starting in January.
- (2024-11-08) J H: I use Alby to login to all Nostr apps, a must have for modern internet experience.
- (2024-07-29) Heather Larson: I love using Alby to sign into all things Nostr. Whether logging into Coracle to hang on Nostr or getting on Tunestr to zap ⚡️ live music, this extension is my go-to. If it ever doesn't work, Alby tech support is fast and helpful. (And if we ever need more invite codes, they are responsive to that as well!) Thanks for all your help, Alby Team! 👏
- (2024-05-09) Matula Attila: It's simple and very easy to use for all apps and the number is growing all the time. Whether it's social media sites or bitcoin payments, you can register everything in one place with a private key in a decentralised way. There are so many different themes you can join with 1 private key: Entertainment Gaming Misc Node Management Nostr Podcast Players Publisher Tools Rewards Shopping Trading
- (2024-05-07) Eva Pierson: Once you receive an 'invite code' the installation is easy setup is easy (make sure to import the nsec code, otherwise you will create inadvertently a new code and therefor a second wallet) Connecting to all Nostr services is as easy as clicking an 'OK' button Great documentation, and last but not least, customer support is really good and helpful Thank you
- (2024-03-22) Chopcoin io: terrible waste of time
- (2024-03-15) Google User: I have to say THANK YOU getalby for the support and guidance I've received yesterday to recover my account and my Sats. I would recommend this wallet to anyone who's connecting to a self-custodial or non-custodial wallet. As long as you have proof that the getalby account belongs to you you will be able to recover it if you lose access to your account. Support are SUPER HELPFULL. THANK YOU AGAIN getalby support. Special thanks to @Moritz_Kaminski for your time, support and effort in helping me. This is a MUST HAVE bitcoin wallet when you use it with a mobile wallet to connect to the lightning network. If I could I would give you 100 out of 5 stars.
