There's a lot of steps to signup and get going. Unfortunately all the information collection is required by law, but Strike makes it as painless as possible.

Clearly a lot of love went into making the user experience as simple as possible.

The app is incredibly minimalist design, which is easy on the eyes.

At the time of this review, the desktop app was updated 7 days ago, the iPhone app was updated today and the Android app 3 days ago. That's some real time updates!

We hopped into Strike's Slack channel and got immediate support from the founder! They also actively reply to users on Twitter and can be reached at support@strike.me

iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension. What else could we ask for?

Security is hardly mentioned. Bank account connection via Plaid is industry standard and you punch your debit card directly into their payment processor's web page so not too much to be worried about there.

The Zap Slack channel seems pretty active with people troubleshooting lightning network integrations and experiences with the Strike beta.

The lightning network is bleeding edge tech. To build their entire infrastructure on lightning takes guts, but if anyone can do it they can.

Creating a public profile is a cool way to easily accept payments from anyone who visits and downloads the app.
