### 1/5 — سيئ

*2024-09-15, version 7.5.3*

قاعد ادخل رقم جوالي يقولي حدث الخطأ

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-03-27, version 7.5.3*

App does not work
Asks for phone number to start and does jot move forward. Gives error always saying “server error. Please try again”

### 3/5 — Very good but very costly to add funds

*2023-05-03, version 7.5.3*

best app compare to other pay apps but why charges are very high if you want to add funds. no other app charge any fee when adding money. only down side of this app is high fee.

so urpay seems to work best till now. comparing with stc pay, mobily pay, urpay, ipay and hala

### 1/5 — Bad!

*2023-03-02, version 7.5.3*

When I put my data to create an account, tells me that registration is not available now, and try later.. very annoying

### 1/5 — Bad Virsual wallet in KSA

*2023-01-28, version 7.5.1*

You can’t save money and time for your personal expenses.

### 1/5 — مشاكل التطبيق

*2023-01-18, version 7.5.1*

في بداياته كان ممتاز لما طلع المنافسين صار فيه خلال بالخدمات…
اكثر مشاكل واجهتني:
١. تعليق المبالغ وتاخر اعادتها او تحويلها للمحفظة.
٢. الدعم الفني مافيه واذا رد كان الرد لمجرد التسكيت لا اكثر، عادي تتصل عشرين مره وممكن يرد عليك احد او ما يرد.
نصيحة 
من خلال تجربه فيه تطبيقات محلية افضل بكثير بعضها تتبع بنوك وبعضها يتبع شركات عملاقه. على الاقل تعرف ان لهم مقر.
هذا من تجربه ومعاناة وليس تجني على التطبيق.

### 1/5 — تطبيق غير مواكب

*2023-01-18, version 7.5.1*

يفتقر للعروض و كذلك لا يوجد كاس باك …
المنافسين ياكثرهم الا يقدم عروض مغرية و انتم محلك سير .

### 5/5 — تطبيق جميل

*2022-04-09, version 7.4.1*

👍🏼 جميل
