Process to create and then display wallets and accounts is confusing. #52

Have to jump between the left, right then menu bar then what did show on the left doesn't after you close and reopen...

As soon as a wallet e.g. 'My Liquid Wallet' has been created it shows under the Wallet/Liquid menu on the left. This makes sense.

When you sign out the app then back in it does not show there but instead shows in a list on the right until you click it to sign in, whereupon it then shows on the left again.

It would be more easy to understand if it always showed on the left - under the Liquid icon/text where it did when you created it. Clicking on it could then ask for pin.

Also - to create an account (e.g. Managed Assets) within the wallet requires using the top menu - when wallet creation was done using buttons on the right.

I think it would be simpler if the process was:

Click icon/Liquid on left menu. Click CREATE NEW WALLET button on the right side of the screen.

That wallet could then always appears under the menu on the left - even if not pin unlocked.

To create an account within a wallet - select the wallet from the left and use a new CREATE NEW ACCOUNT button on the right - as you did to create the actual wallet.

As it stands there is a lot of jumping between the left menu, buttons on the right and then the menu from the top.

Perhaps the menu on the left shouldn't have the text 'Wallets' above the icons and the text next to the icons should be of the format 'Liquid wallets' instead of 'Liquid' etc. Having 'Liquid' under 'Wallets' on the left implies you already have a liquid wallet so then creating one off this option feels odd.
