Nunchuk nostr:nprofile1qqsvxq03xdev3uxehjqcdkr5lfzl5vawmcf7vm6ps73m6ghwg8y4k2spz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9nhwden5te0dehhxarj9eekcmm5dpujuamfdcq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvuasnac is quite underrated. Feature-dense and good UI. It would be my pick.

Blockstream nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgewaehxw309ac8yetdd96k6tnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0dm7kcr is decent and very well worth a try

Electrum does the job well and it's quite functional

Bluewallet is really good for newbies. Probably the best to recommend to them.

Cove (iOS-only) has been making the rounds

Agreed on nostr:npub1cvqlzvmjercdn0ypsmv8f7j9lge6ahsnueh5rparh53wuswftv4q49yjt3. It works very well for me. There are upsell/account options available; but it's not at all in your face after your initial login "as guest". Though, as best I can tell, the iOS version isn't open source (no Github like there is for android or desktop)... Not a deal-breaker for me, though, since I don't use mobile wallets as the sole transaction signer, anyway.

I find nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n way less intuitive (and way more cluttered with junk)... maybe I just need to be using it with a Jade. 🤷

Bluewallet was my first, and is a great simple ux, but I ultimately abandoned it completely due to no testnet support - which has become a huge pet peeve of mine for wallets in general (nostr:npub1cvqlzvmjercdn0ypsmv8f7j9lge6ahsnueh5rparh53wuswftv4q49yjt3 definitely handles testnet the best, IMO).

Cove looks like a very promising Bluewallet alternative, but is clearly not yet ready for prime-time.

Being able to add a watch-only wallet is becoming a top-priority feature for me

Absolutely! As far as I could tell, watch-only wasn't available on blockstream? (though, maybe a different story if I paired it with a Jade?) This IS a deal-breaker.

Blockstream does have it now. But I don't think Nunchuk does.

Nunchuk (iOS) definitely has it... I use it all the time. "Recover existing wallet" reveals several options including "... using QR code" and "... using BSMS/descriptors" - each of which will generate a 'watch-only' wallet (i.e. not a 'hot' wallet).

... I'll take another look at Blockstream.

Right, as long as the private keys are not on device, it's good

Nunchuk does support watch-only. You only need to pair a hardware signer with the app to make it watch-only.

Can a watch-only wallet be set up for other hot wallets though?

Sure, you just need to export/import the wallet descriptors or BSMS file into Nunchuk (Nunchuk is built on open BIP standards).
