Works alright but pls update in background

I open the app like once a month and every single time I can't login I have to run updates
Just run updates in the background like other apps

Terrible, slow, buggy

Genuinely embarrassing app for a company that’s supposedly valued at $17 billion. I don’t think I’ve ever managed to use it without getting frustrated about something. Please scrap this app and rebuild from the ground up. It’s 2026 - my mom could build a better app with Claude.

Initial set up was a little complicated but once it’s up and running, it’s a fast fun, friendly experience, especially transferring your money domestically I haven’t tried internationally but experience has been excellent domestically.

Broken because pin

Deel rolled out some PIN feature that you have to setup. Except enrolment was broken. I had a pin saved already and Deel forgot it, I know this because it’s in my password manager with a timestamp on creation. I’ve now created a second pin and during that process I was asked to create a THIRD PIN. I dunno what they’re doing over at Deel but it’s not producing quality software or user experiences.

Needs updating ALL THE TIME

What is wrong with Deel? What is wrong with these app developers? How is it that you can have an app every time you go to use it, it needs to be updated? Even if you're using it weekly, you have to update it before you can log in. It's so annoying….. and to make that 10 times worse, if you're using the Deel app on the desktop, whenever you try and log in, it tells you to authenticate on the app. You go to the app, and it tells you need to update before you can authenticate!!!! Aarrgghhh - How frustrating! It's the worst user experience EVER!

Is this even a legitimate app?

Can’t log in. When you try to contact support both of the support options are broken. And there’s no way to talk to anyone other than a poorly configured ai.

Contractors Beware

Deel will find a reason to block you from getting the funds you rightfully earned and were transferred to them to pay you. They will give you the run around as their support team wastes your time.

Buggy and crashes

I’ve only been using the app for a couple of weeks but it locks up nearly every time I do use it. It’s my second app update in the short time I’ve used it. I’m not sure if I dislike the app the most or the entire Deel platform.

Very slow expenses process

Compared to most of the other platforms out there, expenses are extremely time consuming via this platform. Often when you are with clients this platform becomes major distraction through excessive question s and long upload times.

Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you loved using Deel. We're constantly working to improve our service and hope to exceed your expectations in the future.

Let me continue without blocking the app update.

Update: The Deel team reached out to me and confirmed they are looking into this issue. I hope it will be resolved soon. I really appreciate that they took my feedback seriously. Listening to customers and acting on their feedback is one of the most important parts of building great software, and it’s great to see the Deel team values that. Thank you, Deel team.

I get a notification email, click the link, but the app won’t work because it requires an update first. Sorry, but I don’t like this behavior. I don’t want to update the app every time I want to use it. I’d rather continue using the current version and update the app later when it’s convenient.

Awful app but forced to use it by employer

This app is very unstable. Has so many performance issues where it will keep on loading on a page you were able to access a few hours before.
Also had issues with payslips where amount was incorrect.
On top of it, they changed my insurance halfway from Allianz to Freedom who takes up to two months to reimburse
