Support the Senior , 2ndChances4me

Encourage, inspire ,

I love it.

A blank sheet that you can use for any type of creative work and get paid seamlessly. Brilliant.

Limited Control

As a creator it feels like there’s a bit of restriction using the app compared to the desktop version.

Horrible app experience

Less than half the functionality of the website. Garbage.

Avoid Buy Me a Coffee!!! Charged me after I deleted my account!

I have been going back and forth with these guys for 3 days. Months ago, I had signed up for a subscription to support a creator for €20. I thought deleting my account and my credit card, that would be enough to end my subscription. Oh no, I still was charged $27.98 (current exchange rate for €20). They can’t find my account. They can’t find the creator. They have asked me for the email that I signed up for the subscription at least 3 times.

I should have read the reviews for this app before I got started. It seems that my experience is not unique. Creators and subscribers have clearly had issues with this app and company. Buyer beware!!!! There are probably better ways to support your favorite creators. Avoid Buy Me A Coffee!!!

Trouble with bank account setup

Can’t set up Stipe. I replied to one of Buy Me’s emails. They didn’t respond.

Worst of all, no way of linking bank account directly. Have to go through a third party. I don’t fee comfortable doing this. Should have option for both ways to link to account.

Thank you

Love the app and just the genuine care to help those who create.

Great app idea, but things don’t always work.

While I love having the app, so people can buy me a coffee, it is a bit frustrating that I am not always able to post a video, either straight from the camera or grab a pre-recorded video. This basic functionality should really be resolved fully.

Bad

It sucks

charges your card without authorization.

I signed up for 3 months of donations. and its auto renewed my membership after the 3 months. charged me anyway. im looking all over the aight and it doesnt even show that im following anyone anymore. Why am i being charged for donations to an account when im not even subscribed to them anymore? its very low budget. I dont even see myself credit card info stores anywhere so I can delete it. My account shows literally zero information or notifications on this last donation that was made. Not even a transaction receipt. just the email telling me it happened.

Dated old site with bugs

Don’t waste your time this site is very dated, payout takes forever 7 - 14 days also your account may be suspended and all payouts refunded out of nowhere. There’s much better apps like Ko-fi

Very glitchy

This app is so unpredictable, nothing ever loads and will say “something went wrong! Please try again later. So much better to use the actual website.

Great Option

Easy to use and Fair

My Account

In the iPhone app I cannot find My Account anywhere! So unable to modify subscriptions. Very frustrating.

Good

Good

Great service

This service is very good to be using to take donations, it’s a bit daunting setting up a stripe account, Payments taking apx 5 business days to clear can be a pain but apart from that the service is absolutely flawless.

Flawless

Love it! Such a game changer!

Glad I have decaf

Wonderful app and has made me realise how much my work is appreciated

The most glitchy app on my phone

Impossible to scroll down and view all my donators as it just takes me back to the top. So can only view the first 6/7 donators, no one else.

Spent Hours on a New Piece and Lost It Due to App Glitch

I’m really upset. I wish there was auto-save on the app.
