Garbage. ### 3/5 — Great app idea, but things don’t always work. *2026-07-16, version 1.4.92* 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. ### 2/5 — Very glitchy *2026-06-28, version 1.4.92* 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. ### 2/5 — Buyers Paid, But I Can’t Access Their Shipping Details *2026-04-15, version 1.4.90* I really appreciate the purpose behind Buy Me a Coffee. it’s a thoughtful platform for supporting artists and creators, and that’s exactly why I chose to use it. However, I’m currently facing a critical issue as a seller. I’m unable to access buyer details such as shipping addresses after a purchase has been made. This makes it impossible to fulfill an order, even though the buyer has already paid. As a first-time user, this has been stressful and confusing to navigate. When it comes to selling physical work, access to customer information is essential, and it’s unclear how to retrieve it within the platform. I strongly feel the platform needs clearer steps and more intuitive tools for managing purchases and customer details, especially for creators who are just starting out. I still respect what Buy Me a Coffee stands for, but issues like this directly impact trust between creators and buyers, and need to be addressed. ### 5/5 — Stringybark podcast *2026-04-09, version 1.4.89* What a great idea for my fellow podcasters to help with equipment, services, training ect and for moral boost Thank-you ### 3/5 — Amazing *2026-04-08, version 1.4.89* After only two weeks on Buy Me a Coffee, I’ve had $200 in donations. And two subscribers. One for five dollars a month and one for $50 a month. This came right in the nick of time. Sometimes the website is a little glitchy And difficult to figure out the problems. The payout section when I login on the app is never visible to get there. That is why I didn’t give it five stars. I’ll give it a month and if the performance improves, it will be it definitely five stars ### 2/5 — Follower *2026-04-01, version 1.4.89* I am a follower of artists on here and lately it says I have nothing in my feed. They’re wrong, I know I do. I can get to it if I log in in a browser, but the app won’t work. I’ve updated it, deleted it, restarted it, nothing works ### 2/5 — Withdrawals *2026-03-31, version 1.4.89* Company has not created a function to withdraw funds in the app ### 4/5 — Pretty Good *2026-03-18, version 1.4.87* It’s great for keeping up with updates and making posts here and there. It would be nice if you could create your membership tiers through the app and not have to use the web version. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Avoid Buy Me a Coffee!!! Charged me after I deleted my account! *2026-07-29, version 1.4.92* 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!!! ### 1/5 — Trouble with bank account setup *2026-07-21, version 1.4.92* 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. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-06, version 1.4.92* It sucks ### 1/5 — charges your card without authorization. *2026-07-05, version 1.4.92* 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. ### 1/5 — Dated old site with bugs *2026-07-01, version 1.4.92* 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 ### 1/5 — My Account *2026-06-21, version 1.4.91* In the iPhone app I cannot find My Account anywhere! So unable to modify subscriptions. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — The most glitchy app on my phone *2026-05-26, version 1.4.90* 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. ### 1/5 — Spent Hours on a New Piece and Lost It Due to App Glitch *2026-05-14, version 1.4.90* I’m really upset. I wish there was auto-save on the app. ### 1/5 — New account *2026-04-02, version 1.4.89* Can’t even make a new account. Tried to sign up through twitter and nothing, tried to sign up through email, got to the code part and would not accept the code it sent me, I wonder where the creators of this app are based out of ### 1/5 — Validation he’ll *2026-03-16, version 1.4.87* I have been promoting and money pilling up and I can not cash out this site is trash ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Support the Senior , 2ndChances4me *2026-08-15, version 1.4.92* Encourage, inspire , ### 5/5 — I love it. *2026-08-10, version 1.4.92* A blank sheet that you can use for any type of creative work and get paid seamlessly. Brilliant. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-07-19, version 1.4.92* Love the app and just the genuine care to help those who create. ### 5/5 — Great Option *2026-06-22, version 1.4.91* Easy to use and Fair ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-10, version 1.4.90* Good ### 5/5 — Great service *2026-06-10, version 1.4.90* 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. ### 5/5 — Flawless *2026-06-01, version 1.4.90* Love it! Such a game changer! ### 5/5 — Glad I have decaf *2026-05-28, version 1.4.90* Wonderful app and has made me realise how much my work is appreciated ### 5/5 — SuperDave44 *2026-04-30, version 1.4.90* Great app ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-04-20, version 1.4.90* This app rocks!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
