### 2/5 — Functional but just

*2026-02-13*

This app works, but exercises your patience in the process.  The interface is tired, slow, and not forgiving.  Every change has to be refreshed.  Switching to use the calculator means you have to log back in.  It is an experience using this app, and has room for improvement.

### 4/5 — Using App

*2026-02-12, version 312.19.0*

Easy

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2025-10-25, version 20.6.0*

Janky

### 3/5 — Guadalupe

*2025-07-08, version 18.2.0*

Phone app process

### 4/5 — Only thing stopping from 5 stars…

*2025-07-06, version 18.2.0*

Is the app and website. LOVE the resources available from PBA.  The website is very choppy,

### 4/5 — Reimbursing is easy

*2025-04-24, version 18.2.0*

First time submitting a reimbursement to myself and it seemed like an easy task without any difficulty at this point.

### 4/5 — Great

*2025-04-24, version 18.2.0*

Need app without signing in everytime online to access my account

### 1/5 — Update broke this app

*2025-03-15, version 18.2.0*

Please fix it. Funny how app stoped working on the final day of submission claims.

### 1/5 — Lousy design

*2025-03-14*

Update: absolutely no change to this lousy design!
Horrible after the big change — have to use a browser to log in and there is no way to log out (still tries to send you to the login browser so it’s circular logic). Everything is slow to load, has an error of the phone screen goes dark (no wonder)… the old app was easy and well-designed, this one is horrible!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-03-11, version 18.2.0*

I’m very satisfied with the ease of the app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2026-03-04, version 312.19.0*

Get lots of errors, have had uninstall and re instal, no fingerprint access.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-25, version 20.6.0*

Can’t leave notes and difficult to reach out to staff. I have to highlight items and turn in several times for them to see if. Not a fan of this FSA service

### 1/5 — Negative stars

*2025-10-29, version 20.6.0*

The app is is too difficult to use. Always seem to do something wrong and get declined claims.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-10-29, version 20.6.0*

This is the most difficult payroll company EVER!  Don’t waste your time and money, pick another company to use.

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2025-09-04, version 20.6.0*

Get lots of errors, have had uninstall and re instal, no fingerprint access.

### 1/5 — FSA card reimbursement   Everytime I use this card it gets shut off

*2025-09-03, version 20.6.0*

Every time I use this card, I get shut off and am unable to use it even if it’s at a doctors office and I submit the proper documentation

### 1/5 — Paychex PBA

*2025-07-09*

I find this FSA system to be difficult to use and very particular with forms and/ or receipts submitted.  This particular company does not allow me to cover ALL of MY medical expenses unless I’m going to have a letter of medical necessity written and turned in.  If my medical needs (labs) were not a necessity, my ordering physician would not be ordering the labs needed to treat my symptoms appropriately.  Medical necessity is not based on what my FSA or insurance wil cover, it’s based on what my PCP needs to evaluate my health.  I would not be using this company for my medical benefits if there were another option for me.

### 1/5 — Login doesn’t work

*2025-07-03, version 18.2.0*

Would be a great app … if I could even login without an endless loop of verifications that never allow me to do anything.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-03-27, version 18.2.0*

App can’t register won’t open and no way to submit reports. App just locks up after password and tries to contact a website. Trash.

### 1/5 — Confusing interface

*2025-03-16, version 18.2.0*

Painful to use unless you are using it frequently. Instructions provided do not apply.

Honestly? I actually tell people at my company about this because it's so easy.  Snap a picture of your receipt and in five days later, money in my bank account!

### 5/5 — Super easy to use

*2026-04-04*

Love Paychex PBA! So easy to use, submit receipts by taking pictures & entering minimum information, your money is back in your account within 5 days! Super convenient for when you forgot the card!
