 Does anyone have a Lightning wallet that “just works.” I’m fed up with Lightning wallet apps not receiving or not sending payments because of no channels being available, no routes being available, or not having inbound liquidity managed. 

Are there any apps that “just work” for a common pleb like me? I’ve tried setting up my own Lightning node, and I’ve tried Zeus and Phoenix.

 If you dont want to manage channels, then use a custodial wallet. A decent combination is blue wallet with an lnbits instance like ln.tips or lnbits.fshck.com. Just realize custodial carries risk.  
 I use Phoenix for sending and GetAlby (or WoS) for recieving. But their are quirks. There's room there for a smoother onboarding experience. We are early.  
 It's not popular at the moment, but that's what I like about Wallet of Satoshi, it just works. If your just zapping or dealing with small amounts it works. 
 Breez is the easiest non custodial app.  Green is a good second, or for custodial strike and cash app are still the best. 
 Wallet of Satoshi works for me 
 MUTINY IS PRETTY COOL SO FAR, ASIDE FROM THE SHOCK OF UP FRONT FEES FOR ESTABLISHING CHANNELS. CHECK IT OUT 
 yeah. I’ve also tried many wallets 
I am now testing @Blockstream  Green Lightning⚡️ beta wallet
