Is there a wallet you guys recommend? I was going to use breadwallet but can't b/c of phone ios issues (b/c of my poker tracking app I'm stuck using an old ios).
First recommendation would be the desktop version of Electrum, set up following this guide:

Make sure to download directly from their website Electrum.org - type it into your browser, don't google or click a link.
For a mobile wallet, I'd say Airbitz.
Airbitz is very user friendly and should be simple for a new user to figure out. Electrum is a little bit more technical, but you're going to save on transaction fees. Not as important right now because fees are super low... but worth it in the long run.
I don't recommend Blockchain.info to new users anymore because better options have come out over the years that are also simple to use. Other wallets are more secure, will save on transaction fees, and importantly for many people here Blockchain.info isn't able to send to Bitpay.
