### 2/5 — Asking to link bank account

*2026-06-29, version 6.00.1*

Unstable app. Asking to link the bank account, always failed saying the bank is already linked and yet no bank is showing to be linked

### 1/5 — Have a real programmer fix your app

*2026-06-22*

Who ever wrote your app just be embarassed. Also have some real tester too.

### 1/5 — Stopped working after 2 transactions

*2026-06-18, version 6.00.0*

For some reason the app stopped being responsive after 2 transactions which both went through.   Have log in and out multiple times and it won’t add a new transaction.  Tried to report the problem but this isn’t one of the categories - app malfunction.  Please fix it!

### 1/5 — Bad app. Took my money never gave back

*2026-06-11, version 6.00.0*

Scam, will use Maya. Difficult to register, no support

### 1/5 — very annoying

### 1/5 — …

*2026-06-11, version 6.00.0*

Its very frustrating how this app always need an update, always changing when it doesn’t even need it. At least wait for a year for a new things

### 4/5 — Bugs

*2026-06-10*

### 1/5 — Wtf

*2026-06-09, version 5.99.0*

tangina Lang ha

### 1/5 — Cannot receive code for signing in

*2026-06-09, version 5.99.0*

why I can’t receive a code using my U.S. number registered number?

### 1/5 — Scam!!! Fraud

*2026-06-08, version 5.99.0*

This app asks users for a lot of personal financial information especially about their bank accounts! So beware! If I get fraud alerts I know it’s from this app! Never again! 🤮🤮🤮

### 1/5 — Overall, the app experience is unreliable and frustrating.

*2026-06-06*

(Using this app in Canada)
1. Frequent bugs and loading issues. The app often fails to respond when I tap “Continue,” requiring me to reopen it.
2. Poor photo capture system. Photos are taken automatically before I am ready, with no option to review or retake them. This may be causing the repeated verification errors.
3. No website access option: There is currently no option to complete the process through a website, which would provide an alternative when the app is not working properly.

Again, the app experience is unreliable and frustrating. Improvements to app stability and the verification process are needed.

### 1/5 — Cannot receive OTP

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-06-01, version 5.99.0*

### 1/5 — 1 star

*2026-08-21, version 6.02.0*

sheng sheng ampotangina di man lang ma verify e naka ilang id nako walang kwenta haup

### 1/5 — OTP Error

*2026-07-29*

OTP’s are not sending on time. You wait for the code and you receive nothing. Then you try again and you receive the old OTP for the previous transaction so it doesn’t work. Then again and again. It’s a loop bug!

### 1/5 — Frustrating to use

*2026-07-25, version 6.01.0*

Is this app forever in beta mode?

### 1/5 — Steals your money and then locks you out of the app with no support

*2026-07-25, version 6.01.0*

I added money to this app. And then they immediately locked me out, deleted my account, and I can't even get support help. This is the worse payment app I've ever used. I never write bad reviews. This app should be banned.

### 1/5 — Terrible as PH tourist

*2026-07-16, version 6.00.1*

As an American I CANNOT believe this is the widely accepted payment system in the Philippines. The App is atrocious, connecting bank accounts is near impossible, once you actually do connect it, it barely wants to process the transaction.

### 1/5 — Incomprehensible

*2026-07-14, version 6.00.1*

it freezes,  you can’t even move to the next screen without it crashing.

### 1/5 — Optimize your UI and remove the ads upon startup

*2026-07-12, version 6.00.1*

We are already using the app, why do you need yo keep putting ads for more services in it? I’ve already missed multiple times to pay something by QR because “our services are busy” because of one stupid popup ad that showed up as I clicked the QR scanner, REMOVE THE POPUP ADS ALREADY BECAUSE THEY INTERFERE WITH HOW THE APP IS USED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

### 1/5 — Too many scam notifications and popups

*2026-07-11, version 6.00.1*

To many notifications and you can’t turn them off!!!   Why???   Too many popups in the app.  Scammmyyy junk.

### 1/5 — endless verification, no support

*2026-07-11, version 6.00.1*

horrible app, and you can't talk to anyone about linking your bank, the loop for verification never ends...... i tried 4 times and then tried to contact support for 10 whole minutes, no luck
is this a real app???  i don't understand how non filipinos use this

### 1/5 — Shh**
