Reviewers see Coinbase as easy to start with: several praise its clean interface, simple buying and selling, real-time prices, learning tools, wallet usability, and even API access. It is often described as a strong entry point for people new to crypto. But that praise is tempered by recurring complaints about high fees, weak customer support, limited access to the broader crypto ecosystem, app reliability issues, and, in some cases, blocked accounts or missing rewards. Overall sentiment is mixed, leaning positive on usability but wary on trust and service.
