Lightwallet is a JavaScript based software, which uses a browser to display the GUI. It might work fine on your mobile browser, but the actual code of the lightwallet does not run on your phone.
The mobile app runs entirely on the phone and doesn’t need a browser to display the GUI.
The mobile browsers execute the JS, so the lightwallet JS does actually run on the phone.
But if I understand you correctly, the difference between the two is:
1.The lightwallet can be used from within a browser
2. The Mobile app is a native app for the OS of the phone, be it iOS or Android I suppose.
Remains the question: in which use case would the one or the other be recommended? Does security play a role? Or will it depend on the preferences of the user?
I don’t know if the JavaScript lightwallet code will run on phones, I never tried that. But you can connect to the lightwallet URL of a trusted node (yours in the best case, but any NIS provides lightwallet - it just depends on if the port is open) and I think people tried that and it worked ok.
And yes, the actual mobile app which is the topic in this thread, are Android and iOS apps.
I would always prefer the mobile app if I want to use NEM on my phone, because it is optimized for mobile devices (screensize, performance).
Would like to test too, Huawei P8 Lite here.
please PM me your iOS app store log in email.
and if you have a telegram or Slack ID, that too
sent you a PM
I can help test iOS with iPhone 6S / iOS 9.1.
Can you PM me your app store email so I can add you.
You will then need to download the Testflight app and then the next version can get pushed to you once it comes out.
I can test the ANDROID app…
Thank
