+An Android wallet using the Zcash Android SDK that is maintained by ECC developers.
 
 ### Motivation
-[Dogfooding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food) - _transitive verb_ -  is the practice of an organization using its own product. This app was created to help us learn. We aim to make it as beautiful as it is useful. Internally, we will continue to extensively use it to innovate and interate on everything from [protocol changes](https://electriccoin.co/blog/introducing-heartwood/) to [lottie animations](https://lottiefiles.com/popular). Of course, Zcash has a strong history of being open-source, even when it's difficult. It would be easier to keep this internal-only so that we could fill it with crash-reporting and feedback tools but, instead, we decided to disable those things and make it available as a community resource. Please take note:

-## This is not a product. This is a tool.

-But it is also something we're committed to maintaining and relentlessly improving. So that we can make our libraries that it is built on stronger and more useful.
+Please take note: the wallet is not an official product by ECC, but rather a tool for learning about our libraries that it is built on. This means that we do not have robust infrasturcture or user support for this application. We open sourced it as a resource to make wallet development easier for the Zcash ecosystem.

 ## Disclaimers
 There are some known areas for improvement:
-- We strongly recommend that you only use this for small amounts of funds (less than 1 ZEC). Perhaps begin by using it to create a brand new wallet.
-- Traffic analysis, like in other cryptocurrency wallets, can leak some privacy
-  of the user.
-- The wallet might display inaccurate transaction information if it is connected
-  to an untrustworthy server.
-- Since this was created as a dogfooding tool, think of it less like a wallet and more like a proof of concept, which can result in bugs up to and including loss-of-funds
-- So **please backup your seed phrase** and wallet birthday (block height)
-- This app has been developed and run exclusively on `mainnet` it might not work at all on `testnet`
-- Getting feedback was one of the original design goals of this app so it is mainly intended for learning and improving the related libraries that it uses.
