I use Bitrefill to buy pre-paid credits from my daughter's mobile phone. Paying with Lightning gives me a small discount and the payment process is easy. I use the "Bitcoin Lightning Wallet" app on my Android phone (BLW). I had to transfer some coins into the wallet initially and then use some of those coins to "open a lightning channel". Once that's done, paying for something on Bitrefill takes a couple of touches. The transaction completes nearly instantaneously (like less than 10 seconds) and the fees are small (0.1% fee on 15 USD payment). Ease of use for Lightning is not to the point where I think it is good enough for the average user. However, in the early days getting on the Internet was also not easy (remember dialup, PPP and SLIP? I do). I think Lightning is interesting because anyone has the ability to set themselves up as a merchant and receive payments. Right now it is complicated and a bit clunky but it is actually possible.
