"Everything works great and the support is fast and reliable. However, would love to have a summary of my personal portfolio. Two examples: a daily price evaluation, comparing the evolution of the last 24h, and a comparison of the current price with that at acquisition. Otherwise, great app Edit: the last update dealt with the problemas I mentioned, great work! 5 stars. If possible, show not only the variation in fiat but also the percentage."

"I mistakenly sent my crypto to the wrong wallet at Coinbase. The team at Coinbase was able to retrieve it and credit to my account within a week. I am quite impressed with their communication, instruction, and result! I'm so relieved. Thank you so much, Coinbase Support!"
