### 1/5 — 提供完整紀錄

*2025-11-18, version 3.16.0*

建議查看交易記錄時提供完整訊息及能只顯示單筆！有些商場機構需要紀錄與八達通號碼核實才能換禮品

### 1/5 — 希望盡快更新

*2024-11-17, version 3.15.0*

我現在是Ios 18.1 用不了「接受八達通卡付款」功能 卡死在定位服務 我已經打開 但不能進一步操作

### 5/5 — Compared to linepay 🇹🇼and Alipay☠️and kakaopay🇰🇷 paypay 🇯🇵

### 1/5 — 經常自動登出

*2024-08-20, version 3.14.1*

無法拍卡，拍卡失敗。

### 1/5 — 收款銀碼變咗紅色，嘟唔到客人八達通

*2024-02-20, version 3.11.3*

唔知幾時變咗咁，八達通網頁無任何相關故障參考，亦無商戶技術支援熱線，app已經係最新版本。既然宜家用唔到咁舖頭唔收八達通囉，慳返手續費。

### 2/5 — 普通商戶幾時可以收alipay, 銀聯qr?

更新完超慢才能顯示個QR code

### 1/5 — 接

*2024-02-02, version 3.11.3*

更新可以使支付寶，每次使用八達通收費時，變得很慢，而且經常hang機，而且八達通經常收唔到錢，客人經常因為甘而轉用現金付款，完全系一個垃圾軟件

### 1/5 — Update完仲差
