Brace yourself

This is the worst app I have ever experienced. Do not put money on the text or calling option, just deposit it to their account. He could read my text messages, but he could not respond. I was never able to call him because it said I wasn’t approved. I am normally very positive and it’s taking a lot of self-restraint to not mentally vomit all over this review.

Scam?

I put money on the account. Every time I try to message the person I added to the account, I get “ insufficient funds” error. Then they want you to contact customer service to get it fixed? No thanks. Don’t use this app. Developers should be embarrassed. -1 start review

I wish I could give zero stars

Probably one of the worst communication and money exchange platforms out there matter what you do you’re always getting in here and the fees to do anything are astronomical. Also putting money on Cantina and video calling money are two different money and if you want to give music it’s like $1.95, which is fine but then you have like nine dollar convenience fee.
