### 1/5 — DO NOT RECOMMEND

*2025-06-30*

Customer service or the AI chat bot is non existent. Unable to load the card on my app. Had to even download the app which I don’t want to do. You make access the gift card more troublesome than it needs to be. Now I’m just going to use another company altogether because the usability has been trash.

**Developer response:** We’re really sorry to hear about your experience. We completely understand how frustrating that must feel, and this isn’t the smooth gifting experience we aim to deliver. Since June, we have revamped our customer support to provide faster and more helpful responses. We truly value your feedback and are always working to improve 💜

### 1/5 — Horrible user experience

*2025-06-25*

I was gifted a $10 gift card for coffee by a business associate.  I received it via sms. I had to create an account to access it.  Once I accessed it, I tried to add it to my Apple wallet. I had to download and install the app.  Ok.  Then I tried to add it and it said it required a minimum of $20 to do so. Ok.  So I tried to add it to a Starbucks gift card as the original gift said it could be used at Starbucks. It threw errors, which probably meant I could not use it for transfers.  So I tried to buy a gift card.  Same thing. 

I’ve probably wasted 30 mins now trying to get to where I could actually use this $10.  

Terrible user experience.  Totally invalidated the nice attempt at a gift from my friend for advising her on her business.

**Developer response:** We’re so sorry to hear about your experience. That’s not the smooth, joyful gifting moment we want anyone to have. I’d love to clarify a few points to help make things easier next time. Currently, cards need a minimum balance of $20 to be added to mobile wallets and can be topped up in app! And On Me gift cards are a gift within themselves, so they can’t be used to purchase other gift cards. We truly appreciate your feedback and are always working to make your experience even better 💛

### 1/5 — Can’t buy stuff online

*2025-06-03*

I’ve been trying to get stuff from Meta for the past two hours and nothing has gone through. Every single time I try to buy something. It says there is no debit card that exist.

### 5/5 — Solid gifting app

*2025-05-07*

Really great for remote gifting with a personalized touch - I use it all the time

**Developer response:** You totally get it! Bringing a personal touch to remote gifting is our mission. Thanks for sharing!

### 1/5 — Terrible gift. Send cash. Send gift card.

*2025-03-17*

Terrible gift. Requires a cell phone and too much information to use. Almost impossible to use up because can’t use on half the websites without adding more money (because you often can’t pay with more than one card and can’t select an exact amount to put on the card). Can’t add more money without giving them more information.

### 5/5 — So fabbb

*2025-01-13*

Easy and always well received

**Developer response:** Yay! That makes us so happy. Thanks for spreading the On Me love 💚

### 5/5 — A great gift!!!

*2024-12-29*

I wanted to send a gift card for coffee to my grad school recommenders (who are all over the country) and saw that On Me can send gift cards anywhere. I love that I could send them many coffee options so they can pick their favorite. I will definitely be using this for gifts in the future!!

### 5/5 — The best way to send gift cards

*2024-11-15*

So easy to send thoughtful gifts to friends and family. This is how modern gift cards should be!

### 5/5 — Personalisation is great

*2024-11-13*

Really smooth experience- love that it’s so convenient for the giver but still so thoughtful

### 5/5 — Solid gifting app

*2024-10-31*

Really great for remote gifting with a personalized touch

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Simplify the processes.

*2026-06-19, version 1.5.16*

This app makes everything too difficult to transfer your “gift” to your account. The process should be simplified to a Venmo style process. I click where/who I send money to and hit send. This app is bad

### 1/5 — If you like your friend, don’t use this app.

*2026-03-27, version 1.5.14*

Show your friends how much you hate them by sending them a gift through this app. Such a hassle. I was gifted $100 card. Before I can use it I have to download the app and provide my phone number. After getting into the app it gives you the ability to add to your apple wallet. iPad doesn’t have a wallet app. It finally showed up in the wallet on my phone, but won’t accept the CVV code required to add it to the wallet for use.  So I chat in to the reps, but I have to stand by for a half hour waiting for a response. Even if the reps are able to help with this, this app is such a damn hassle.

### 1/5 — Not easy to split payments

*2026-01-27*

While purchasing a Coursera annual subscription I wanted to use my card to pay for this. As it would not split payments easily I was charged for the whole balance on my personal card. I have no other use for the card beside making a purchase for learning. (Which now I have) so basically it’s a waste of money sitting in my Apple wallet at the moment. Extremely dissatisfied at the ease of use for this. Would like to get my money back now that I was not able to use it for what I intended….

### 1/5 — Terrible user experience

*2026-01-16*

No customer support, a BOT will only repeat order is coming and it never will

### 1/5 — Terrible user experience

*2025-12-15*

I was gifted $20 to spend on streaming services and the card has been declined multiple times even though I am trying to spend at approved services. I have spent at least $20 of my own trying to rent or buy using the gift card. Good idea but horrible execution

### 1/5 — Terrible user experience

*2025-11-28, version 1.5.8*

This is such a terrible product. I was gifted $20 to be able to buy lunch from one of 90 restaurants. I went to the website of one of them and tried to use it, but it was declined because my order was more than $20 and I guess split payments aren’t accepted on this restaurant’s site. So I drove to the restaurant and ordered my lunch, and even though the restaurant can handle split payments, it was declined again ….even when they just tried to charge the card $20 which was its value, Then 5 minutes after I paid for the whole lunch on my own card, I got a text telling me I had to add an additional $15 to my On Me gift to be able to use it, even though I was only short roughly $7. DO NOT BUY OR GIVE THIS AS A GIFT TO ANYONE

### 1/5 — Difficult to use card

*2025-11-19*

I received this gift card for $15. It was unusable until I added five more dollars to it. I’m down to a lower balance $5 on the card and it will not let me use the full balance left on the card.  This seems very deceptive.

### 1/5 — Scam !!!!

*2025-10-14, version 1.5.6*

Don’t waste your time or money. Avoid at all cost

### 1/5 — Terrible gift. Send cash. Send gift card.

*2025-09-17*

Terrible gift. Requires a cell phone and too much information to use. They are literally still spamming me 1 year later. Almost impossible to use up because can’t use on half the websites without adding more money (because you often can’t pay with more than one card and can’t select an exact amount to put on the card). Can’t add more money without giving them more information.

### 1/5 — Digital gift card

*2025-09-07, version 1.5.4*

Difficult to access money
