This sucks

For some reason it won’t let me connect a payout method,so it’s a huge
Waste of time.

Avoid at all cost! Borderline fraudulent

3rd time writing a review that won’t post. Go to my trust pilot review. But I’ll tell you. They cheated a Canadian out of money by using default funds to US. Only stripe has a strict policy that payments must be made on YOUR country’s currency as that is here I pay taxes. So then they exchanged the money and I lose $30. Then they won’t let me withdraw any more money. I was give $70 +$50 + 40 and they paid our $62.00 and I can’t access other funds. Their desktop version says I don’t have an account and their app is awful. It does NOT look like these photos show. I also have written posts which have never been saved as drafts and have been deleted after posting. HORRIBLE app. Use Linktree and your own email or substack!

Audio Player Needs Work

I am really enjoying using this app as a coffee buyer. However, the audio player could use some work. The app times out without it being closed and does not save where I’m at in an episode. It also doesn’t display the time correctly for the audio. I use this app to avoid ads and such where the creators post elsewhere, but the audio player is making it hard to stick to that.

Simplicty

The app is easy to navigate, a couple tips during setup to make links and such more custom and clean could be noted. Aside from that it’s a 5/5 so far.

Thank you

It's so nice that my subscribers can use the Buy Me a Coffee application to do something so generous for me..and yet small enough so as not make us gifted ones left feeling like their gift was over the top. It's wonderful.
