Lobstr wallet is a popular wallet in the Stellar ecosystem. It supports testnet transactions, though one difficulty I've run into is funding the testnet account. I found a work-around, that allows the use of Lobstr Wallet for testnet development.

Set Lobstr to use Test Network ​

To set your wallet to use the test network, from the main page, open the side bar by tapping the hamburger menu. Then tap "Settings", then "Profile"

In the "Profile Settings", tap "Network". From here tap "Test Network".  Your wallet is now set to use the Stellar test network. Now we need to fund this wallet.

Getting Testnet XLM ​

By far the easiest way to create funded Stellar testnet accounts is to use GAIH'S XLM EMPORIUM by Superluminal. Here you can create multiple pre-funded accounts, and send testnet tokens to any wallet.

Simply click the prompt to create a new testnet account. A new account will be generated.

Both the public & private keys are displayed, along with the balance of testnet XLM.

Scrolling down we will find a cute graphical representation for our new account.  From here we can send XLM to our Lobstr Wallet.

Paste your Lobstr Wallet Address, set the amount and press the transfer button. The testnet tokens will be sent to your Lobstr Wallet, and done.  That's how easy it is to use Lobstr for testing and development.
