In fondo alla pagina può aprire una seganalazione compilando il form: https://www.matipay.app/it/domande-frequenti/ ### 1/5 — Took my money, now I can’t access it *2023-12-15* I uploaded money to this app a few weeks ago after signing up with my Apple account. Now, that app has logged me out and forces me to add and verify a phone number to access my funds/make any purchases. However, when I correctly input my number, no verification message sends. The only solution they give on the app is to check my internet connection. I have tried multiple WiFi networks as well as cellular, and I still haven’t received a PIN to verify my number. I even tried updating the app, but no luck. **Developer response:** Dear user, if you haven't solved your issue, please contact us on the following form: https://www.matipay.app/it/domande-frequenti/#faq. We will be happy to support you. Greetings, MatiPay team ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2021-10-08, version 3.1.1* Coffee machines don’t connect to my app anymore ### 4/5 — non si connette *2021-03-04, version 2.6.0* Come mai non riesce a connettersi con iphone alla macchina? mi fa ricaricare e vedere utenti con cui posso scambiare ricariche ma quando avvicino Iphone alla macchina mi dice attesa connessione poi nessun apparecchio trovato? devo mandare numero Macchina Argenta? ### 3/5 — Problemi con il Bluetooth *2021-01-02, version 2.4.2* Ho sempre utilizzato la app e mi sono trovato molto bene, tranne le molte volte in cui si disconnetteva senza che lo avessi richiesto, uscendo dal profilo. Oggi purtroppo ennesima disconnessione, per di più mi ha dato errore quando ho provato a connettermi con facebook. Non sono riuscito a rientrare tramite facebook e allora ho creato un profilo da zero, provando ad associare il nuovo profilo con quello vecchio che avevo. Purtroppo non ho avuto successo (mi dava lo stesso errore che avevo prima quando provavo ad accedere con facebook), e allora ho optato per una reinstallazione dell’app. Non si è risolto il problema,addirittura la app è peggiorata perché mi chiede ora continuamente di attivare il Bluetooth nonostante sia già attivo sul telefono. Grazie al servizio clienti di argenta (che sono stati bravissimi e gentili) sono riuscito ad avere il mio vecchio profilo, e ad associarlo al numero di telefono. Purtroppo permane il problema del Bluetooth e io non riesco più a connettermi sulle macchinette ### 4/5 — Comoda ma... *2020-12-17, version 2.4.2* Ogni tanto l’app mi dice che ho esaurito le “transazioni” a disposizione, quindi tocca fare Logout e riaccedere... Ma per tutto il resto è molto comoda. SAREBBE BELLISSIMO poter integrare l’app sia come carta Wallet che con apple Watch per un’utilizzo ancora più veloce...magari lo state già pensando? ### 2/5 — With this last version there is a bug *2020-10-26, version 2.3.1* Thus recognizing the vendor machines it tells me that there is a problem with the localization or the bluetooth services of the phone. I have checked with different phones and with bluetooth and localization services activated but no way to sort this. Till last week it was working perfectly. ### 4/5 — Non mi va più *2020-10-09, version 2.3.0* L’ applicazione andava bene la usavo tutti i giorni è mi trovavo bene, però da due settimane non riesco più a collegare il cellulare alla macchinetta. Ho provato ha fare la verifica connettività ed è tutto apposto però quando provo a collegare il cellulare si illumina per un secondo il led rosso. Spero che risolviate perché è davvero comoda questa app grazie. ### 5/5 — Non si collega *2020-10-05, version 2.3.0* Buongiorno è da 2 settimane che non mi si collega... dice di scaricare l’aggiornamento scaricato ma ho lo stesso problema... Ho cancellato app provo a reinstallarla ma mi dice che non è possibile in questo momento. ### 4/5 — Mancata connessione risolto *2020-09-03, version 2.3.0* Problema risolto personale disponibile gentile e preparati. Grazie Ancora ad oggi il problema della connessione (pur avendo il telefono perfettamente funzionante) persiste e la app non da segni di miglioramento ed in più non si trova il modo di recuperare il credito ## Frequently asked questions about Argenta ### What does Argenta do?
