### 4/5 — Bad UI

*2025-08-20, version 29.8.0*

Every time you enter note, it says successfully entered right over the button for "Edit Tags" so you always have to wait until that notice disappears before you can edit tags. It drives me absolutely nuts. How has an update not fixed this yet????

### 3/5 — Just waiting

*2025-07-11, version 29.5.0*

haven't gotten my allowance

### 3/5 — Fast talking / Slow shipping

*2024-12-09, version 27.3.0*

The agents that work for Pex must be former auctioneers.  They talk so fast you can not understand them.

When you order a Pex card it takes a week to create it and then 10 days to ship it to you.  

Recommend the slow the talk and speed the shipping.

### 4/5 — Face ID

*2024-08-18, version 24.3.0*

The Face ID option was really great. Why did you take it awa?

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2023-12-27, version 21.3.0*

Having issues uploading receipts to the correct day

### 1/5 — Clunky

*2023-05-17, version 20.3.0*

Uploading and categorizing a receipt takes 14 clicks. And all the buttons are in weird places. Super dumb

### 1/5 — The worst

*2023-05-13, version 20.3.0*

Sure the card works fine but the app to track is total garbage

### 1/5 — Another garbage app

*2023-04-19, version 20.2.0*

Another piece of garbage app that can’t even get past the option to enter a password when setting up an account.  When it asks for a password I enter it a first time and when I go to confirm it, it wiped it clear and automatically puts in a strong password.  So just to be cooperative I attempt to use the strong password.  Well guess what, that’s too long for the app standards.  If your a employee this review won’t help you but a organization looking for an east app for exployees…look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Allow access to all photos when trying to upload from selected photos

*2023-04-09, version 20.1.0*

Why on earth would I allow an app to view all my photos when there is an option to select the photos you want to upload. Except pex doesn’t recognize this and wants access to all my photos even tho it has the select photos option. Not going to happen in this day and age pex!

### 3/5 — It works

*2022-10-24, version 19.1.1*

The facial recognition addition is great.  
I turned off my photo gallery access though, I’ll just take a picture and upload it, ok PEX?   Now that you know, would you please stop pestering me to give you access to my photo gallery?   Would you please stop asking?
Would you please stop asking?
Would you please stop asking?
Would you please stop asking?
Get a hint PEX.  The answer is NO.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-04-05, version 18.4.0*

The past month I have used the app, it may have worked 3 times, it always says “Oops. Something went wrong. Please try again later.” And when I do try later it doesn’t work, last time I checked my balance or even uploaded receipts was a week and a half ago, need this issue fixed, if the app worked all the time, it would be awesome. But it barley works.

### 1/5 — Receipt Upload Terrible

*2022-02-11, version 18.3.0*

It is 2022 and a lot of things get ordered online or receipts get emailed to you. Why on earth can I not take a screenshot of a receipt on my phone and upload it??? This makes the app pretty useless.

### 3/5 — Great concept, but...

*2021-10-28, version 17.0.0*

I’ve been using PEX for a while now and it has been super helpful! 
Except recently the app has frozen up when I try to look at my transactions and will completely crash every time I try to open the camera. This makes it very hard to keep track and hold accountably for the transactions. I cannot upload receipts or add notes to any transaction, whether it be recent or far in the past.
I do recommend this app and using PEX as a business plan. However, if these bugs aren’t fixed, it will continue to be a hassle to manage through.

### 1/5 — Who designed this interface?

*2024-06-24, version 24.2.0*

Godawful user interface. Could be so much more streamlined, but no. Doesn’t even have basic grammar, such as auto-initial caps, when entering notes. This must have been designed by a large committee of people who don’t have to use the app.

I am unable to access your app and am not getting assistance

I open the ap
Pick an expense
Tap it

The ap closes

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-06-01, version 20.4.0*

This is one of the worst apps I’ve ever seen for reconciliation of receipts. A waste of time and energy.

### 5/5 — Great app and card

*2023-12-14, version 21.3.0*

This is a great app for a PEX card as it gives you an instant balance and shows the vendor. I have this to the employees of my company for allotted expenses and the like it also. A great app if you have kids and want to check in on what they purchase.

### 5/5 — Great App for tracking

*2020-03-09, version 6.2.0*

Use Plex to track my Gasoline usage. My gas card was sent to me from The Leukemia and Lymphoma society to help me with these expenses. What a great group, they have helped in other ways also. Plex and LLS, glad I have access to both.
