Never works properly

I’ve tried for 6 years to use this app to pay for my children’s lunches. Each year, I hoped they would’ve improved the app, but each year has been a let down. I hate to leave a negative review, but the fee that PayPams collects for the use of their services needs to be spent on getting this app up to date.

So far so good

I set up my account via computer/online. But the app logged in quickly, displayed balances quickly and let me use my existing payment method to add funds. Did notice my profile page resulted in a website redirect to again login.

Will bump to 5 stars when you add apple pay support. For now will neanderthal my way through punching in digits.

Fails to do the one thing it’s designed to do!

Downloaded this app to pay for school cafeteria. Tried to add bank account or credit card and it redirected me to website which was weird as that feature was not built into the app. Once I got bank account and credit card added, I clicked ‘Authorize’ button and nothing happened. There was a message at top of page stating it could take up to 1 minute. So waited two minutes still nothing. Clicked the button again and still nothing. So finally gave up trying to use the app to make payment and went online and made payment instantly.
Don’t bother using this app. Save your time and just do it online on their website!
