Ledger Nano S is one of the most popular hardware wallets that provides access to most of the leading cryptocurrencies. It is affordable and offers a wide selection of cryptocurrencies which is why it quickly emerged as one of the leading providers of hardware wallets in the crypto market.
Founded in 2016, this hardware wallet allows you to store Bitcoin, Ethereum and a lot of altcoins. As a device, this wallet is great because it features an OLED display with USB connection and multi-currency support.
It’s a small and compact wallet that has a metal casing around it in order to make it more durable. The wallet fits perfectly in your pocket or your purse which means it is easily transported. Nano S works just as similar to other hardware wallets. When you first turn it on, you need to choose a PIN to protect your device. Next, you will receive a 24-word that will be used to create your private keys. It would maybe be best to write it down on a piece of paper and keep in somewhere safe or writing it down using a crypto steel device. Ledger Nano S has two buttons and this is why it is easy to control it. This should take no more than 3 minutes.
Ledger Nano S uses an open source code for its apps and proved to provide great customer support. You can find this wallet for about 60 Euros which is a pretty decent and attractive price. Ledger was among the first wallets that claimed its position on the crypto market by making clear how important is to have an independent third party certification that will attest the level of security of its offering and also explains that the CPSN means for Ledger Nano S a new beginning of an overall effort for further certifications of their products.

Got my nano s from EBAY , very strait forward device , in the box there is a key chain for the ledger . looks like any usb device and that’s cool . also in the box usb wire to connect to the pc and to start and activate you need to go to Ledger website . after choosing 4 digit pin code and writing the 24 phrase for resetting the ledger if something happens . after setting it up – about 10 minutes , I had an issue with downloading Ripple wallet but after managing the wallets in the app that you can download in the website , all comes to peace .
highly recommended to people that are pretty scared to put all their coins online , its looks very safe and not that easy to penetrate but I also think its wise to put the ledger in a safe place… from my understanding , if the ledger itself got lost/stolen , you can reset and keep your coins using the 24 word phrases .

100% worth buying…platform is very nice and user friendly – many times have issues with having to reconnect to the pc to connect to the wallets – but takes times to understand how to use it ( not as simple as I expected when I got it – I doubt elderly people will know and understand how to install and download all the required app to have it set up to use all the coins.

I had an appalling experience with customer support, whereby I was constantly chasing up on my delivery. My delivery took just under 6months (i ordered in around December), took 3 (or 4, i just lost count) attempts with DHL. I do not understand what the deal is with DHL and their customs. Just avoid them if you can! Finally after forcing Ledger to send it through another carrier did i actually receive the product! In the meantime, I had been given the usual “we’ll keep you up to date about your delivery”, but I am pretty sure they don’t know what that means! It means you actually inform your customers from your own initiative about the status of their delivery! Not wait for them to email you back complaining!! Had i not kept pestering them every week I do not think I would’ve received my Ledger Nano! My wife can deliver me a baby before I get anything from these guys!
Never buying anything from Ledger again, even though the product is quite decent. I don’t think i can handle another “delivery limbo” situation again…

Very Poor Customer Service
Received the Nano S. Unable to get it to work on 3 different operating systems. I raised a ticket with Ledgerwallet. A week later I got a “cut and paste” response and asking if the issue is resolved, which I replied no. Back and forth a couple more times with the same “cut and paste” response, then nothing for over 2 weeks. I sent an email to chase for an update and requested in returning the item. A week later, they responded with…..correct, “cut and paste” response but NO return process that I requested.
They can easily ask what was the outcome of the instructions they gave. Try to get more specific details instead of telling me to do which was found on their support page (“cut and paste”).
It’s nearly 2 months since I bought the item. Time and money wasted.

Shipping has been stuck for 3 weeks.
I’ve got no help by the Ledger’s Customer service.
Would not recommend this. If you get in trouble with the shipping, you can’t get any help by Ledger, its out of their trouble…

There has been overwhelming praise from media, but I find this product untrustable. There are moments that I couldn’t open the apps, couldn’t access the currencies when I need to. I also mistakenly sent Litecoin to Bitcoin address, because Ledger uses the same chrome apps for both currencies. The account appears to be zero. I asked for help on their customer service, only got a useless response a month later, and it’s a completely useless standard answer. When I asked again, I only get machine auto-generated response. Their customer support is just non existent. I will return this product. Don’t trust the media, the comments. If you accidentally lost your money, no one is going to help you.

Couldn’t ask for more from this company. I’ve experienced Ledger Wallet, Ledger Nano and Ledger Trustlet. When having queries and issues they have been met with speed and efficiency. The products are excellent and good value for money. Staff are polite and professional.

When I go to the app, it tells me to plug the device in when it’s already plugged in, so I unplug it and plug it back in and it automatically opens the app, then I go to configure again and it tells me ONCE AGAIN to plug in. It just sends me in eternal circles

I do like Ledger Nano. It is really great. However, I haven’t tried TREZOR, so cannot be objective enough. Choose what you like, they are not very different and both are very safe. Good luck

The fact that you can only store 4 coins at any one time and must swap apps to access other coins for trading is quite an inconvenience. Why in the world would I want to spend about a $100 for this when Trezor can store all CR20 coins, etc as well as the common ones such as bitcoin, litecoin, ether, etc? Obvious choice. They could add some more memory but I guess Ledger just want to maximize profits and provide as little as possible.

My experience with Ledger has been a positive one. When I ordered the wallet it sent was sent off promptly how ever the package was damaged in transit and was sent back to the shipper. When I contacted Ledger to explain the situation they replied quickly and refunded my shipping cost and resent the package out the next day. Their customer service was of a good standard and it has been a pleasure doing business.

Yeah, great wallet. I would mention 2 cons : it doesnt manage more than 5 app at a time. You have to desinstall one to free space. Come on, how can it be, as we live in a 2Tb usb flash drive world ? Second con : to update firmwire, you have to desinstall all your app, then update, then reinstall all your app.

I recently bought a nano ledger S. As soon as I plugged it in, it told me I had to update the software on it. When I tried to do this, the ledger wallet refused to accept the software from the Nano Ledger website. The company that makes them provided almost no customer service at all (their only advice was to uninstall the app on google chrome and reinstall it). Long story short, I was never able to get it working, so I asked for a refund and sent the thing back. I am of the opinion that it is a company’s job to make sure their product works before they sell it, and NOT the customer’s job to trouble-shoot their defective product. I gave them a chance, and they didn’t make the cut, so I’ll take my business elsewhere.

Never had any issues with my Ledger, installing is easy if you follow the guide. I use it everyday and never experienced any of the issues mentioned here. I like Trezor too but they don’t support XLM.
The only issue I have with Ledger is that they list BCH as bitcoin cash instead of B-Cash

Nano’s is OK. But that support is a disaster literally. Three weeks at least. I have nano s reinstalled with the 24 words but my credit is not that? I get a different IBAN? Support does not answer?
VikingVista - February 4, 2019 @ 16:07
I didn’t have any glitches, though the app system is a bit kludgy. Yes, it is a hassle, rather like trying to sign up for an exchange. But you just do it once per wallet. Then you only occasionally go back to it when you need to transfer small amounts between a more convenient but less secure cell phone app.

I don’t understand people saying it’s not safe. Hardware wallets is the safest method to store crypto, everyone knows that. The Nano S is no exception.
Had minor issues similar such as a few people before me described but nothing that can’t be solved by anyone with 2 neurons. Overall I’m very pleased with the Nano S.

I‘ve been using the Ledger Nano S for almost two years now. Apart from the limited amount of apps you can install at the same time (you can still hold more coins, you just need to reinstall the apps to get back access to them), I always liked the easy to use and well crafted hardware wallet. I thought about buying the new Ledger Nano X too, but decided against it, don’t really need it.
Customer support seems fine, had one problem with the delivery when I ordered the Nano S and received a reply within two hours.
Recommended!

The Ledger Live companion software is also very easy to install and set up and It makes managing your assets a lot easier.

Not fit for purpose.
I’m sorry to give Ledger a 1 star review as it had so much promise. Over the past 2 years I have had 2 friends have problems with Ledger, the first had crypto disappear completely and the second one turned his on again after 6 months and it’s now glitching out on him. He has a large amount of crypto on his wallet and is freaking out. He’s now managed to get it working in safe mode but extremely worrying to say the least.

By this time more than 6 months have passed and the ETH value dropped more than 50%. I could not access my 14 ETH worth about $20000 to sell it in time to realize my profit.
SInce the device and the help desk would not recover my funds, as a last resort I used my original recovery words in a third party wallet and to my surprise it recovered all my money – a consolation but when I sold I lost my profit, but at least I got my capital back.

The idea is to keep it separate and secure on its own. But you have to download apps to store information on. Defeats whole object
