Don’t trust this app

I had a presto card with $3.00 left on it and added $40.00 so my wife and I could go from Ajax to Union Station on the Go Train. The app would not work, I have called and sent a letter to presto asking for my money back however they never answer me back, want to be scammed try using this app
