### 1/5 — CANNOT create account to retrieve money

*2023-02-20*

I have been trying to create an account since January because someone sent me money via PayTap using my phone number. I have not been able to create an account so that I can retrieve the funds despite using the link sent via text message.

### 4/5 — This app is good, but it could get better.

*2022-01-13*

You should also put a PayPal link in order to pay. Thanks to the support team.

**Developer response:** Hi Mr. Ghost, 

We are unaware you are having a problem withdrawing your funds. Please email support at heyhey@paytap.us. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.
