The Ledger Live App serves as the mobile companion to the Ledger® hardware wallet ecosystem, providing convenient access to your cryptocurrency portfolio while maintaining the uncompromising security standards that define the Ledger® experience. This sophisticated mobile application extends your hardware wallet management capabilities to iOS and Android devices, offering real-time monitoring and essential wallet functions without compromising the fundamental security principles of private key isolation.
Unlike traditional mobile wallets that store private keys on the device, the Ledger Live App maintains the security architecture of your Ledger Live wallet by keeping private keys securely isolated on your hardware device. This approach ensures that even if your mobile device is lost, stolen, or compromised, your funds remain protected by the physical security of your Ledger® hardware, providing peace of mind for mobile cryptocurrency management.

Live price tracking, market data analysis, volume indicators, and customizable price alerts to stay informed about cryptocurrency price movements and market conditions while on the go.
Comprehensive transaction logging with detailed information about sends, receives, and exchange operations across your entire portfolio, synchronized with your desktop installation.

Encrypted push notifications for transaction confirmations and portfolio updates without exposing sensitive information in notifications.
No, the Ledger Live App is intentionally designed as a watch-only companion for security reasons. While you can monitor your portfolio, generate receive addresses, and view transaction history, all sending operations require physical connection to your Ledger® hardware device through the desktop Ledger Live Desktop application. This security separation ensures that even if your mobile device is compromised, attackers cannot access your funds. The mobile app focuses on convenience for monitoring while maintaining the security principle that transaction signing requires hardware device interaction.
Yes, the Ledger Live App is designed to be safe for use on public networks because it only transmits public information (balances, transaction data) and never exposes private keys or sensitive authentication data. The app uses encrypted connections for all communications, and since it cannot sign transactions, it poses no risk to your funds even on unsecured networks. However, for optimal security, it's always recommended to use VPN services or trusted networks when accessing financial applications on public Wi-Fi.
The mobile app doesn't directly connect to your hardware wallet for security reasons. Instead, it synchronizes with your Ledger Live account data through secure servers. Your actual device connection and Ledger Live Login only occur through the desktop application with USB connection. The mobile app provides watch-only access to your public wallet information for convenient monitoring. For Ledger Nano X users, Bluetooth connectivity allows some device interaction, but transaction signing still requires additional security confirmations.
Yes, the Ledger Live App supports multiple devices and can monitor all your Ledger® hardware wallets within a single interface. You can easily switch between different devices or view aggregated portfolio data from multiple wallets, making it convenient for users who maintain separate devices for different purposes or security levels. The app synchronizes data from all connected devices, providing a comprehensive overview of your entire cryptocurrency portfolio across multiple hardware wallets.
Your funds remain completely secure. The mobile app requires authentication (PIN, biometrics) to access your watch-only data, and even if someone bypasses this, they can only view your portfolio information. Without physical access to your Ledger® hardware device and knowledge of your PIN, they cannot move any funds. Simply install the app on a new device, restore access using your existing Ledger Live account, and your portfolio data will synchronize. Your funds are protected by your hardware device, not your mobile installation.
The Ledger Live App supports monitoring for all cryptocurrencies compatible with your Ledger® device, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and all ERC-20 tokens. However, certain advanced features or newer cryptocurrency additions might appear in the desktop application first, with mobile support following in subsequent updates. The app provides comprehensive coverage for major cryptocurrencies while occasionally lagging behind the desktop version for very recent additions or experimental assets.
