Pros & Cons
Was a good app, not anymore
Took my $7 and made me spend money bc won’t take ANY card
useless
Basic but works for me
Needs a ZERO star option
That was a red flag, but while I was messing with the app my spouse already loaded the laundry. OK.
1. Can’t use the app without creating an account.
2. App asks to use your geolocation data (absolutely indefensible other than just sucking up any data they can get, which means they’ll be selling it)
3. Doesn’t support Apple Pay —> requires giving them your credit card directly.
4. Works like a gift card, in other words, it is impossible to just pay for your laundry. Once you have given them your credit card data, you must then “add money to your account” 😵😱😵
So, despite a wash cycle costing $3.75 I have to put $5 onto “my account”, so they get to keep that extra $1.25 (in my case forever because I’m never going to be in this state again).
To top it all off, it then gives an error contacting the server after scanning the QR codes on the machines. Since it is it’s own app there’s no way to know if the QR codes have been tampered with, but certainly a possibility).
Also note that by using QR codes it requires access to your camera.

This is a perfect example of a company that doesn’t care about their customers at all. Setting it up so you could pay using Apple Wallet and remain essentially anonymous as well as not overpay would be trivial. Instead they made a terrible app and don’t seem to be maintaining it well.
Final advice: bring quarters (or go to another laundromat)
Edit: they do allow you to “request” that your account is deleted (giving them any $ balance), but you must do it inside the app. Just had to re-install it to delete my account (the re-deleted the app).
No Refunds Through App
The issues I came across is that customer service won’t give refunds. Allegedly, you have to go to the laundromat you loaded at to get any refunds, if the laundromat even offers refunds. I’ve heard different things from the facility itself. In CA, you are legally eligible for a refund if it’s under $10. When I get proof both parties are flat out refusing refunds, I’m escalating this issue further. You also have to be on the laundromats WiFi to check the timers on your loads. I’ve only come across one facility that uses this app and they are more expensive than others in the area. Sure, I get that having to implement WiFi and an app cost extra but I didn’t think it should have been that much of a difference.
There is another app called PayRange which is much more widely used. Several facilities in my area use it. Customer service is much better. $$ load minimum is less. And you can get a refund through the app.
Simple
good idea, bad execution
Terrible support
My review
Worthless
Great…when it works.
I’ll just bring cash from now on.
