Mobile FairCoin Wallet
Android Wallet: Download from Google Play Store or from here directly (may need to allow to install from foreign source).
iOS Wallet: Not yet available. If you are a programmer and want to help on that task, a good starting point may be to adapt copay.
Web based wallet
Another simple way to set up your wallet is to sign up with HolyTransaction. It is hosted by a provider, whom you need to trust. We recommend to use it only for small change for your daily business or for testing.

Wallet first run
If you install a fresh wallet it takes some hours (up to 48) to download all the 380000 block headers (mid 2017). You can not send transactions until this process has completed. You can monitor the progress in the 'network-monitor' view.
There might be an other reason for transactions to get stuck in your Android Wallet: it will only send a transaction when it has at least 6 connections (4 on low memory devices) to other nodes. You can bypass this security limitation by opening your wallet, switch to airplain mode, wait 10 seconds and quit airplane mode again. As soon as your phone is connected to the internet again it will send the transaction.
Wallet Backup
Please note that it is very important to backup your wallet on a regular basis. You can do this by selecting Backup Wallet from the file menu and then save your wallet backup file in a save location.
It is also highly recommended to encrypt your wallet to save your coins from unauthorized access. You can do this by selecting Encrypt Wallet... from the file menu. Please use a very strong passphrase to sufficiently protect your coins.
See this hint on how to create a secure password:, which you can remember. For storing and managing all your passwords we recommend keepass (available for all platforms).
