Hi. I've just installed this wallet and I see that no option to show recipient adress on Ledger Nano S screen is implemented.

In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vfH5Z0RzYA a guy explains why this is so important. There is a simple hack that can replace your oryginal adress with hacker's adress and the only option to be 100% sure that shown adress is really your adress, is to print the adress on Ledger Nano S screen (by clicking on the monitor button in case of bitcoin-ledger-wallet - 6:20 on the video).

The application will soon allow to verify the address on device. In the meantime, you have to first make small transactions to make sure you control the correct address.
