### 2/5 — Worse app on the market currently.

*2026-08-25, version 8.107.2*

The app is meant to be some kind of financial online safe, you can tap to your balances/statements etc, and the pages get stuck. For such a long history of a brand, I would not expect PayPal to have such a terrible UI, respectfully.

### 2/5 — App for iPad Is Not Good

*2026-08-24, version 8.107.2*

This App is not formatted to work well with the iPad.  First of all, the layout is in Portrait Mode as if you are using it on an iPhone.  On an iPad it should be in Landscape Mode.  You can barely see your complete information.  You have to swipe left and right to go back and forth to view your information.  I highly suggest just using their website.  Oh, and speaking of their website, along with the iPad App, you cannot download your statements on the iPad.  It only works if you access PayPal from a computer.

### 1/5 — Not getting my money

*2026-08-23, version 8.107.2*

I’ve used the app for years an now all of a sudden it doesn’t let me transfer money or request stupid ars shi

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-08-23, version 8.107.2*

Refused to delete my account for years and so much more.

### 1/5 — No way is the Apple version any good.

*2026-08-23, version 8.107.2*

Shame. App does not work properly on my iPad. . I downloaded the app from the App Store so that I could use it to manage my PayPal account on my iPad rather than using my trusty windows laptop. What a mistake!  The app is totally over the top with its logging in process. Not sure how safe my facial recognition data is. Also contains other details shown on my drivers licence which are not relevant to their business purposes. That aside, the Apple version appears to have forgotten about using a key code rather than a password. I will be deinstalling this app and reverting back to the windows laptop.

### 1/5 — Paypal mafia strikes again

*2026-08-23, version 8.107.2*

Extortionate

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2026-08-23, version 8.107.2*

Keep sending me spam emails and messages and won’t let me delete my account

### 1/5 — So bad

*2026-08-23, version 8.107.2*

I downloaded this to be able to start commissions. When I tell you that nothing worked. I couldn’t add my card number or my address. Useless. Fix it.

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2026-08-23, version 8.107.2*

Poor support when you’re charged by vendors that should have stopped automatically billing. Other apps are more responsive and consumer focused.

### 1/5 — Permanently Limiting My Account

*2026-08-23, version 8.107.2*

I used to love paypal but I don’t understand why my account is permanently limited and why I can’t make it not limited. The customer service AI is useless because it doesn’t help me try to get my account back. There is no reason that I should have a permanent limitation. It won’t tell me how to deactivate my account. Awful app for not allowing users to fix the permanent limitation.

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE PAYPAL CREDIT

*2026-08-23, version 8.107.2*

It will not let you link a bank

### 1/5 — worst finance app ever

*2026-08-22, version 8.107.2*

This is the worst money app ever! it is so hard and confusing to work.

### 1/5 — Untrue and bullying is the best way of dealing with the situation

*2026-08-22*

As long as I don’t have to do anything, I guess I will leave this unacceptable service and punishment for my actions in the dispute with the merchant. I received a terrible punishment for the matter. I experienced the dark side of it, as the customer service team took my money out before the payment was due because they couldn’t wait until the correct fortnightly payment method. Once the dispute was settled, they started deducting the money and claimed I had paid, which is what I received from them. They stopped me from using Pay in 4 payments because the dispute was not acceptable to them. After a few months, they continued misleading me to get the full payment and kept my personal details, even though I had nothing to do with the PayPal account anymore. So, what is the point of using this frustrating and punishing service, especially with the horrible agents and upset customer support? That’s my honest experience with this service. I can’t write anything positive about this terrible situation. I know they will be looking to punish me again for this negative experience, but I’m not sure if I can keep using my account under these circumstances.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-08-22, version 8.107.2*

App won’t open I don’t know why

### 1/5 — Horrid

*2026-08-22, version 8.107.2*

Horrid app, literally tried to dispute a charge that was 100% a scam and they’re to blind and stupid to see it, this entire app is a scam. Especially when you want to charge me for money I already have in the damn app.

### 2/5 — Clunky app. Great services.

*2026-08-22, version 8.107.2*

This app has always been laggy for me, across multiple iOS devices. Opening PayPal Credit is especially annoying, as the user is directed into what feels like a webapp via a 10-15 second loading screen. Exiting PayPal Credit, and other app features such as Make a Payment, produce a 'Are you sure you want to exit?' popup with unintuitive responses. On top of all this, the PayPal app has a very cluttered home screen, which is, again, both laggy and unintuitive to navigate.

Considering PayPal's broad success and essential ubiquity in the world of digital finance, they should have the best app in fintech. Instead, they have a clunky, bloated, frustrating app in desperate need of a full overhaul.

### 2/5 — Needs a director holine contact number I can’t access my account due my number being changed

*2026-08-22, version 8.107.2*

Not good

### 2/5 — why?

*2026-08-22, version 8.107.2*

why is it so complicated to find everything and do anything. it says i have limitations so i cannot send or request or pay with my account. yet it won’t tell me how to remove it or do anything. it just says no no no. and i try to follow instructions to the help center but nothing.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-08-25, version 8.107.2*

The app is frustrating to use and the customer service is horrible for this app. Would give 0 stars if I could

### 1/5 — Don’t trust them

*2026-08-25, version 8.107.2*

They are just trying to get richer by helping apps steal your money.

### 1/5 — just no

*2026-08-24, version 8.107.2*

retricted me when my friend payed me back i hate this app so much theres no words i can say more than that

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2026-08-24, version 8.107.2*

Has to be one of the most useless app and system Ive ever tried to use. Can’t link any account. Takes “fees” when they want and can’t transfer any funds. When calling they’re just as useless as the terrible quality app.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-08-24, version 8.107.2*

Stopped working, don even open anymore

### 1/5 — Not User Friendly

*2026-08-24, version 8.107.2*

Normally, the app seems to work OK but now there are security blocks in place that will randomly stop you from adding money to your account for no reason. Helpdesk tells you that it will refresh in one to two hours and then you’ll be OK but that’s not true. It’s been almost a day and I still can’t use it. When I contact them, there’s no reason for the security limits. They just tell you to sit around and wait. It would be better off to try and Cash app or resolute.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-08-24, version 8.107.2*

PayPal fast is totally rubbish takes about a hour for money from another account to go in. Won’t be using is and deleting.

### 1/5 — Submit a dispute

*2026-08-24, version 8.107.2*

I am trying to dispute a subscription and all of a sudden my PayPal goes blank

### 1/5 — Doubling purchases and flat out taking money

*2026-08-24, version 8.107.2*

I will make a purchase and then it will be double charged with the money taken from my account with no history of the order or email. Just taking the money.

### 1/5 — Lo peor

*2026-08-24, version 8.107.2*

Esta aplicación es la peor con la q me tocado lidiar, es en extremo una pérdida de tiempo y de dinero. Sin hablar de todos los descuentos q hacen por todo ,te retienen el dinero  simplemente por q les da la gana y el día q menos te lo esperas te cierran la cuenta sin mas con tu dinero retenido y simplemente te dicen q tienes q esperar 180 días para ver si te lo devuelven.😡Le doy una estrella ya que no deja dar menos , porque si fuera por mi ni eso se merecen 😡 , es una falta de respeto 😡

### 5/5 — I don’t know how to give reviews specifically

*2026-08-23, version 8.107.2*

I do not know how to give reviews specifically to the customer agent service who assisted me but I remember her name was Katy Angeline! Thank you very much for your support . I was able to get the issue finally fixed on my PayPal account . I have had terrible experience with PayPal but at least this gave me a glimmer of hope in PayPal once again!

### 5/5 — Impressive features

*2026-08-11, version 8.107.2*

Most impressed how effective all the interactive features are of PayPal over the year. I have been a member for 21 years and upgraded and moved along and learned as more features became available. PayPal is most likely going to be my go to App.
