You can send and receive onchain transactions with Phoenix but that is taken care of ACINQ, with submarine swaps.
I'm a big fan of ACINQ Phoenix, the only drawback is that the very first transaction to your wallet needs to be at least 10 000 sats and 3000 sats is taken as a fee for opening the channel to your phones node, it is valid fee because ACINQ is holding liquidity and developing both the LN node software and phone app so in some way they need to run their business without red numbers.
In a user experience point of view, as a first time user it is bad because you feel that you just been robbed on 3000 sats, when you don't understand the underling work to make the solution as self-custodial as possible.
Hi, I ended up going for Breez wallet, super smooth and no problems yet. Once I get faster broadband I will get my node running and swap it all over for self-custody and maybe back to Blue wallet. I will see how it goes. Thanks for the recommendation though. Phoenix was on my list and I may yet go there.

Breez was the wallet which opened my eyes for lightning network 2 years ago. The podcast 2.0 with streaming sats was giving me a glimpse into the future.
One good thing with Breez is it works with Boltcard.
Still like Phoenix because it is just a wallet not bloated with podcast and point of sale. If you open your lemonade shop you will find your ways to Breez it is a geat wallet.
