Rippex shut down - help needed

[XrpFtw2018]

Xrp believer and noob to the whole wallet scene. I stored some xrp in a rippex wallet and am planning on holding for the longterm. But I just heard news they are shutting down, does this means I have to move it to a different wallet? 

If so, can any of you recommend a better alternative?

Cheers!

The Rippex gateway has been shut down. The Rippex wallet still works though since it connects directly to the Ripple infrastructure/ledger.

So you don't need to move to a "different"  wallet. However it is recommended since they won't be releasing any updates anymore.

I like Toast Wallet. You can import your secret key and you're good to go.

As long as you have secured your wallets secret key you are safe
