User reviews

REGISTER HORROR

REGISTRATION PAGE IS A MESS. Please fix the keypad that doesn’t retract.

Bad app

Very bad app I can’t even signup on the app

Check my wallet balance

I can track how much I have left with my app without having to visit an agent first

Too slow and doesn’t display my actual balance.

The app is good quite alright but it’s too slow when it comes to tracking my card records. I top up my cowry card and it takes hours sometimes days to reflect which is too bad. It’s too bad because on several occasions I’ve been scammed when topping up my card. They don’t recharge the exact amount I request for and the only reason why I downloaded this app is to track my transaction and check my balance which it never even displays the actual balance.. please work on those areas I request, asides that the app is all good

Not Accurate

The wallet doesn’t update your balance immediately, this gives the staffs an opportunity to steal from you
