I downloaded it and sent 10 mBTC to it yesterday - seems to work pretty well. Unconfirmed transaction showed up soon after I sent it and later was reflected in the balance after several confirmations. The app is very rudimentary for now - sending/receiving/exporting keys is about all it does.

Glad Apple turned around on this policy. I felt left out.

That's sort of nonsense, CoinJar beat them to it.

So is this a local wallet? My private key is stored on my phone and no where else?

Yes, the private key is encrypted with your password and stored locally.

Hey, I'm the developer of CoinPocket.

I wanted to address some known issues:

- BIP38 is slow. Really slow. I'm working on it.

- QR codes that contain the bitcoin: protocol are not scannable. This was fixed and resubmitted to the App Store. Keep an eye out for the update in a week or so. Follow @CoinPocket on twitter for news on updates.
