### 2/5 — App fees are too high

*2026-07-29, version 1.27.1*

Great concept unfortunately the fees are high and it’s a percentage instead of just a flat fee. No thank you

### 3/5 — Expensive

*2024-06-22, version 1.24.3*

Very useful but expensive

### 5/5 — Easy way to sell on line

*2023-11-09, version 1.23.0*

I posted an inventory sale. It is so easy to manage with this app!

### 1/5 — Do not use

*2023-09-08, version 1.22.0*

This app worked very good and was simple to setup. However the next day my account was closed by Cheddar with an email stating the decision was final and not up for debate. All the sales were refunded. 
All the merchandise that was sold is now gone without payment. 
So use at your own risk.

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2023-08-22, version 1.22.0*

Worst App

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2023-05-25, version 1.20.0*

I was reluctant to try cheddar up at first because I thought Google forms would be easier, but cheddar up and the app are very easy to use to keep track of event registrations and lots of information.

### 3/5 — Good but not perfect

*2022-12-08, version 1.19.0*

Needs more customization options and promo codes per item needs to be better.

Maybe reduced CC fees for higher paid tiers.

### 1/5 — Donation

*2022-10-31, version 1.18.2*

Too complicated to use.

### 1/5 — Wayyy too hard to donate

*2022-04-22, version 1.17.9*

I tried 6 times to donate to kids fundraiser

### 5/5 — Hard

*2022-02-10, version 1.17.5*

It’s very hard to understand

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible iPhone interface

*2026-08-10, version 1.27.2*

Required for child’s band payments.  When trying to verify email on an iPhone, you can’t even click on the verification code text box or click verify button.  UX designers did not test this at all.  Will delete ASAP once no longer needed.

### 1/5 — Transferring balance

*2026-07-07, version 1.27.1*

Super difficult to transfer the balance and even when you select instant transfer it still takes days.

### 1/5 — All my money

*2026-03-05, version 1.27.0*

You are not allowed to get all the money that has been cleared at once

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-03-13, version 1.25.3*

Crashes when I try to add my address. Have reinstalled and keeps happening. Cannot complete this step for setup.

### 1/5 — Not Truthful & Disappointing

*2024-11-12, version 1.25.2*

My first payment took 3 days to process, not quick as stated on the website and then upon clicking withdraw it says it can take another 1-3 days, totally inconvenient!!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-10-09, version 1.25.2*

Can’t access app.  When I click on it, it says it needs updating, and does it automatically.  However it never stops “updating” and opening.  App Store says my version is up to date!

### 1/5 — Upgrade

*2024-08-28, version 1.24.4*

App required update and now app won’t stay open.

### 1/5 — Colossal Pain

*2024-07-10, version 1.24.3*

Somehow we have taken simple field trip and school activities to a new and frighteningly complex and convoluted level for payments. This app is slow and takes too long to do simple tasks. There was no need to add this in addition to PaymentsPlus for the same district, yet it’s one more aggravating platform to enter too much personal info, take 20 minutes, and get charged for the transactional experience. 
Home schoolers are getting their monies worth being off platforms like this. 
Cheddar down and cheddar out.

### 1/5 — Why do you need my photo

*2024-04-29, version 1.24.2*

I am VERY concerned that I was only able to withdraw funds from this account after providing my government ID and a photo. There should be a dollar threshold whereby this would be required. I had $70 sitting dormant in this account after I collected for my child’s class as a class parent and sharing this personal information was a requirement for me to withdraw from the account.  This is unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Abusive fees

*2024-04-01, version 1.24.2*

Doesn’t allow to have small donations for charity reasons. From 1 dollar donation you take out 0.99. I will remove my account of Cheddar up

### 5/5 — Ease of use

*2026-07-31, version 1.27.1*

While I’m still very new to Cheddar Up.  I’m finding how easy it is to navigate from both my home computer and cell phone.  It was also great to visit your booth at National Girl Scout Convention in Washington DC last week. The reps were fabulous!

### 5/5 — Great for fundraising

*2026-01-21, version 1.27.0*

Great way to raise funds with zero hassle. Easy access to your account and easily transferable funds.

### 5/5 — Funds Collection app

*2024-10-10, version 1.25.2*

Awesome app which is user friendly and compatible for various needs. The ability to download spreadsheets is a plus.

### 5/5 — Fantasy Football League

*2024-09-05, version 1.24.4*

Are FFL always struggle to get someone to collect all the cash for the League.  Cheddar Up made it really easy.  We’ll be using Cheddar Up again for sure!

### 5/5 — Band Boosters

*2024-07-27, version 1.24.4*

We started using Cheddar Up about a year ago for our high school band booster group. WOW, has this been easy to use and a game changer for collecting funds & fees!!  The developer has also been extremely open to making changes based on user feedback. I noted that we could not previously control “manager” access the way we wanted to at the individual campaign level. At the next version update, it was fixed!  The app is very straightforward for simple campaigns yet powerful & flexible for complex ones.

### 5/5 — Great app for tournaments

*2024-07-24, version 1.24.3*

I used this for an annual Fishing tournament 
I was worried about how it would interface with the people signing up
Outcome was NO complaints and very easy to use
Nice work and will be using this app next year!!!

### 5/5 — Great app

### 5/5 — Great app for our school

*2024-02-02, version 1.23.1*

Long-time user of cheddar up’s web platform which was a game-changer for our school. I recently downloaded app to scan QR code tickets (very cool) Also - super responsive and friendly support!

### 5/5 — Great for Girl Scout unit
