User reviews

Does not let you log in

I have tried to log in multiple times using real me and it has taken me to the authentication code process.
The code would not work so I called real me and the removed my Authentication app process and I can now log into real me anywhere else. But when trying to use this app it keeps asking me for a code which still does not work and the real me help person said I no longer have the any authentication app connected.

Waste of time trying to even try this app.

Most frustrating app to use

Linking the app with real me just absolutely ruins it it asks too much information and when information is given the app bugs out and crashed after trying 10 times to access my stuff has just become a joke especially having all the info needed and then it just tells my my license isn’t in the system or the google authentication app codes always come back with invalid this app should be linked to a mobile number or email as that will be far more used friendly

So close to a fantastic app

Please let me use Apple Pay to buy RUC. It would make life so much easier than to have to fiddle around and get locked out for 30 minutes.

Save Payment Info

Would be great if it allowed LastPass etc to populate payment card details… or have secure save of card details within app to make RUC and REGO payments easier.

Logged me out

It was going good now it’s logged me out and the Realme account isn’t working, I’ve tried everything
