### 3/5 — I like the alerts but…

*2021-08-20, version 3.9.3*

I like that I receive alerts each time one of my automatic payments are about to be charged. I wish I could reject a payment directly from the app, or make a payment from an account that isn’t through this back. Having to pay online (not on a mobile device) is frustrating. They give you the info about your card but you can’t do much with it in this app.
