I didn’t even get a chance to sign in 😂 ### 1/5 — Customer Service *2026-02-28, version 3.2.11* I am writing this review due to experiencing probably the worst customer service I have ever encountered. The app and service seems to work well when it works. Setting up my account and sending crypto to the wallet and converting it into dollars via ATMs or even direct deposit to my debit card. All worked really well. Was super happy with the service and ready to recommend it to other people. But then I had something happen where a sale wouldn’t go through and since it failed three times I was locked out of my account. All the app says is to “contact your administrators” which is not very clear. The experience of trying to contact customer service to get my account unlocked revealed that this company basically doesn’t have customer service. If you email them, you get an AI response telling you to talk to the chat bot on their help page, if you call their phone number you receive a pre-recorded message telling you to contact them via the AI Chatbot, and if you talk to the AI Chatbot on the webpage, it does not currently have the ability to provide you with a general support ticket. And it will endlessly tell you that you need to go to the help page and talk to the AI chat bot… That you’re already talking to.. Since the general support ticket page link does not work, and the chat bot does not seem to have the ability to provide a general support ticket form, I used a different support ticket form for a different problem in order to hopefully get my case in front of a live person. I received a one-way email from a support agent the following morning, simply telling me that my account had been deleted and that Coinme can do this for any reason they see fit. This company REALLY does not want to talk to you. And in my opinion, issues are going to arise eventually with any service, if the support is this bad when those problems do happen… I have no interest in ever using this company ever again or ever recommend them. They still currently have my money that was in the wallet of the account. You have been warned. ### 1/5 — Outrageous fees *2026-02-25, version 3.2.11* You rip people off. You need to lower your fees. They are much higher than most others. ### 1/5 — What Customer Support *2026-01-21, version 3.2.8* Might be a worthwhile app to have or be a service worth using if didn’t fail to work and lock you out and have a Customer Service department that is nonexistent and absolutely impossible to reach . What a waste of ### 1/5 — Trash support team *2026-01-06, version 3.2.8* Couldn’t help me redeem a voucher from 2020 I bought at a coinstar. Bunch of scammers. Keep your money invested in Robinhood instead ### 2/5 — Insane Fees *2025-12-04, version 3.2.6* Put in $160 in cash, they take out $34 in fees. That’s over 20% of your cash they take immediately as a “transaction fee” ### 1/5 — What Customer Support *2025-12-02, version 3.2.5* Might be a worthwhile app to have or be a service worth using if didn’t fail to work and lock you out and have a Customer Service department that is nonexistent and absolutely impossible to reach . What a waste of ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS APP!!! *2025-11-17, version 3.2.5* 1. Bitcoin fees are to high. 2. No lightning network 3. App not good for crypto 4. Do not use this app ### 1/5 — Total scam and phishing *2025-11-17, version 3.2.5* DO NOT USE THIS APP. Stole my $2500. Stablecoin… first blocked me.. then requested verification… then I ge email saying my account is locked and will be forever and I cannot open another account and they will not do business with me in the future. Meanwhile they were trying to hack my debit card and it locked them out…thief scammer phishing company…y’all need to have FTC, SEC, and Fintech on blast!!! ### 1/5 — Coinme ATMs are a SCAM!!! *2025-11-14, version 3.2.5* DO NOT USE CRYPTO ATM! There is no benefit. Their marketing is a lie. They say this is anonymous but then as soon as you deposit the money they make you buy the crypto and you can’t just send it to your wallet. You have to make a Coinme account. SCAM!!!! ### 1/5 — Unless app *2025-11-05, version 3.2.5* Open the app and still can’t even do anything can’t even buy with the debit card it won’t take it ### 1/5 — Fraudulent company *2025-11-04, version 3.2.5* I bough coin of $1000 from cash he bitcoin atm machine over 2 months now I’ve not been able to redeem the voucher my account got suspended and you guys refused to return my money. You reimbursed me fake check of $803 which I deposited into my account my bank returned the check saying it was paid from a closed account how could you do such an evil thing you stole my $1000 and still issued a fake check from a closed account you people are evil and I will go to any length to get my money back. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken app *2026-08-09, version 3.4.1* If your into Crypto please I recommend you don’t use this app it’s always having issues ### 1/5 — Customer service *2026-07-14, version 3.4.0* Need actual live person for assistance to help with issue on account & can’t seem to get anyone but automated chat bots ### 1/5 — You are all scam *2026-07-11, version 3.4.0* I buy a bitcoin on your machine and my Coinme account was blocked, since 3weeks now and it has not been refunded, why do you keep on scamming people, this is very bad it’s so bad if you keep on doing this your company will not see any progress ### 1/5 — They stole my money *2026-07-10, version 3.4.0* DO NOT USE COINME. They straight-up stole my money and now I can’t even log into my account. I had deposited several thousand dollars worth of crypto through Coinme, thinking it was a legitimate service. Everything seemed fine at first. Then one day I tried to access my account and… nothing. Login fails every single time. Password reset? Doesn’t work. Support email? Crickets. Their app and website both act like my account never existed. After days of trying to get help, I finally got some useless automated response saying there was “suspicious activity” on my account. Suspicious? The only suspicious thing is how quickly my funds disappeared. I have transaction records showing my money went in, but now it’s all gone with zero explanation. No withdrawal on my end. No transfer. Just poof – stolen. This company is a joke. Their customer support is nonexistent – no phone number that actually connects to a human, chat support that gives copy-paste nonsense, and they clearly have zero interest in helping real customers. Feels like a classic exit scam or inside job. I’ve filed complaints with every regulator I can find and I’m exploring legal action because this is outright theft. If you’re thinking about using Coinme, save yourself the headache and potential financial ruin. There are plenty of other legitimate platforms out there. Coinme took my hard-earned money and locked me out completely. Zero stars. Stay far away. Never again. ### 1/5 — Worst app with worst support *2026-07-03, version 3.3.2* My account has been deactivated for no reason and it’s not at all easy to reach out to customer service, no one responds. My money is gone! ### 1/5 — Just ate my money *2026-06-23, version 3.3.2* I bought LTC at a Coinstar kiosk and it just never appeared in my account now I'm trying to deal with customer service… AI and it's a ginormous pain and they've resolved nothing. I switched to this after dealing with the Cinq and they're constant issues. It was good the first few times, but once again has eaten my money when I dealt with this with Cinq I was able to talk to somebody pretty quickly at least, and it would be resolved and I'd be credited pretty quickly until the last time where they made me wait two weeks to get a written check in the mail that was the end of that. Here on Coinme I haven't spoken to anyone yet had to write out a ridiculous support ticket debt asked for all kind of photo uploads some of which you have to go all the way back to the store for and take a selfie with you next to the freaking kiosk. I just want the damn money I put in you pay a fortune for this service totally outrageous and it's a crapshoot whether you get it or not. That one star should be zero ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-05-26, version 3.3.0* They charge 22.5% at coinstar to buy bitcoin with cash. Horrible. Be ashamed of yourself ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-04-29, version 3.2.15* Takes a long time to send, costs a lot, and when the networks are in high demand, you can expect to purchase but not send for 24 hours. Absolute garbage. ### 1/5 — Do not waste your money. *2026-04-13, version 3.2.14* I have been dealing with these people for two months now on something that should’ve been resolved hours. How are consumers supposed to know what states allow crypto or not. I am waiting on a reimbursement. No one was able to tell me the State I was in does not deal in crypto. ### 1/5 — Swindlers *2026-03-23, version 3.2.11* I have had this app for a few years had no problem then all of a sudden it’s like certain states are not allowing any kind of transfer into any wallet and instead instead of states are up-to-date and not available you end up spending your money you can’t send it to your wallet then after going through what they want you to send or not send then they tell you that for security they can’t accept certain things to prove who you are and where you live. I do not suggest anyone using this app. I am out $50 which may not seem a lot to some of you a hard-working person just trying to get in on the action. All I can say is good luck if you do use this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Most exceedingly remarkable and extremely exceptional cryptocurrency recovery technology solution!! *2026-07-30, version 3.4.1* Read carefully, I understand the distress such situations can cause losing $450,000 worth of bitcoin to scammers, they are still some steps you can take to recover your lost funds, the best to get in touch with Cybertech076@gmail •com they also help me out to recover my stolen Bitcoin back from scammer successfully, Frank safe group is the best when it comes to cryptocurrency recovery or any type of recovery services.

Use CoinMe!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent and easy *2026-03-26, version 3.2.11* Coinme is a great service. And, their customer service is very responsive and helpful. ### 5/5 — Great crypto service *2026-03-16, version 3.2.11* I like being able to buy crypto on any given day shopping for groceries at Safeway using the coin star machine has this service on it! Has many different crypto currencies to choose from, buy with your debit card, cash at a kiosk or through participating stores registers. Fair fees and decent limits to send, cash out, and buy. I recommend this to anyone looking to use an easy crypto purchase option. ### 5/5 — Horrible Service *2026-03-14, version 3.2.11* They overcharged me by $83 in fees and contacted me months later, telling me they can refund the extra fees to my wallet and to reply to the email if I wanted US tokens refunded to my wallet. I said yes and replied and this was last month. Now, they have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about and are telling me to fill out a reimbursement form. Also, their ridiculous little bot makes it IMPOSSIBLE to talk to them and it forces you to pick a top that doesn’t relate to the problem. Use anyone but them because they will rip you off then refuse to pay and act dumb when you inquire about it. ### 5/5 — Convinced this is a good app *2026-02-18, version 3.2.10* For any one needing to fund your wallet with out the hassle of the Banks This is the app to use.. ### 5/5 — Great app to purchase your cryptocurrency *2025-12-14, version 3.2.7* The best way and cheapest fees to buy cryptocurrency is to use cash at a cvs or participating location. It’s just like loading money on to a debit card and only cost $3.95 fee to load it. Which is way cheaper then buying at a coinstar ### 5/5 — Secure *2025-09-15, version 3.2.3* Very nice app ### 5/5 — 1 btc wallet *2025-09-12, version 3.2.3* Love Coinme ,never had a problem buying btc or selling 👍🏽 ### 5/5 — exceedingly remarkable and highly impressive cryptocurrency recovery technology solution!! *2025-09-02* Please be wary of the many scam investment website everywhere, Sometimes in June I lost about 20 BTO and $350,000 worth USDT to a fake MT5 trading platform. I got lured to this trading platform with the intent to earn 15percent of my investment in each trade I thought it was a good trading platform not knowing they were sneaky and manipulating to take away all my funds, After weeks of being sad I found the best cryptocurrency recovery pundit at LYONCRYPTOTECHNI via gmailcom Whom I hired and spoke with their support team about my situation. They requested for some certain information and they swing into actions immediately. To my surprise within 3 hours they were able to trace and track my stolen funds then subsequently they recover each and every penny of my money back to me without hassle or hidden charges. This is the best recovery specialist to hire to recover all your stuck, missing or scammed funds and digital assets.
