Horizen (formerly known as ZenCash) have just released their new Sphere wallet.
Upon hearing this, of course I had to download it and try it out ASAP. I downloaded the AppImage file for my Manjaro KDE OS and it booted up perfectly.
The first thing you'll notice is the drastically improved, and might I say one of the best looking, interface. It has big graphics and is easy to navigate. You can also easily switch between running a lite node or a full node (full node enabled privacy features).
But, it is, however, not just a wallet. It is a multi-functional app that will also provide features like secure messaging and the ability to switch between a full or light client. In addition, the app will continue to grow and add new functionalities in the near feature.
Sphere by Horizen drastically improves on current standards for the user experience of cryptocurrency and blockchain applications without sacrificing technological innovation or security. The application will act as a universal point of access for node operation, cryptocurrency storage, private communications, and peer-to-peer payments, markedly simplifying access to services on the ZEN blockchain.
We look forward to continually develop new features to bolster Sphere by Horizen, including a multi-currency wallet, MultiSig support, human-readable addresses, and the ability to manage Secure and Super Nodes on the platform.
-Gustavo Fialho, Director of User Experience at Horizen

Zen is trading at just a little over $5 USD so I had to reinvest in some as I haven't owned any in months. Horizen has the best user experience among the privacy coins by far. Multi-OS support is seamless and an identical experience. Plus they have a mobile Android and iOS wallet as well.
Give Horizen a look if you haven't yet. Their main webite is now located at https://horizen.global/
See ya'll around!

Support My Endeavors
I am currently building a DApp, web tools, and other blockchain utilities. Any donations help me pay for resources I need like web hosting, domains, advertising, etc. Right now I'm working alone and I am funding everything myself. So, any little bit helps!
I am looking into building something for the Steem ecosystem as well. ;)
