### 4/5 — Prepared

*2026-03-22, version 7.6.1321*

I like the look, along with Face ID, the added pay 
options are nice too.

Edit: hopefully the app will update to 27.0 like it did for 26.0

### 4/5 — Rebranding

*2025-07-17, version 7.6*

I like the look, along with Face ID, the added pay options are nice too.

### 3/5 — Why needing to open browser ?

*2024-06-01, version 7.5.2*

Why can’t the payment be done in-app? Defeats the purpose of using an app in my opinion.

### 3/5 — Poor Notification Capability

*2023-07-01, version 7.5.2*

It works fine according to your setting. However, Push Pay does not notify you exceptional situations that requires your attention. For example, Push Pay does not flag these issues when the credit card transaction is denied (my experience), or the church you donate to no longer participates in Push Pay (other’s experience).

### 3/5 — No in-app option for giving statements?

*2023-02-20, version 7.5.2*

Otherwise a good app, but lacks the ability to download giving statements from the app … a big drawback. (Website-only access to giving statements!)

### 3/5 — Stop recurring gifts

*2023-02-03, version 7.5.2*

My church stop using Pushpay without me knowing it. Now I can only access the transactions, but cannot give one time or add a recurring gift or change a recurring gift. The recurring gifts I had set up continue to be honored and deducted from my checking account. this is distressing. I liked the app while it was in use. However, I could not revise the recurring gifts. This may be my problem with understanding. How do I stop these gifts from occurring now?

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2022-11-05, version 7.5.2*

Previous payment history is not current and I have a hard time finding my current church in the search list. So much easier to use the desktop site. Not sure I will keep this app.

### 2/5 — No Face ID, only touch ID

*2022-09-19, version 7.5.2*

This app does not support Face ID so you have to enter a pin instead. It supports Touch ID which is less secure and phased out now, and Apple hasn’t added Touch ID to a single new phone for the past 6 years. This is the only finance app I use that doesn’t support Face ID, all my bank accounts and credit cards support it, all high security apps.

If Face ID was available I would have rated higher stars, it would make this so much easier to use.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2022-09-11, version 7.5.2*

I use this app regularly since the beginning of the pandemic. My comments are that it defaults to recurring as opposed to a one time gift. I wish it was the opposite. Also before the last update it saved the amount.  I now have to put the amount in each week and change to non-recurring.

### 3/5 — Apple Pay Option

*2022-05-13, version 7.5.2*

Apple Pay option would be great, could be more polished, other than that, it works.

### 4/5 — One Time or Recurring Paymt Buttons

*2022-01-22*

I love this app… been using for years. My church giving statements accurately reflect each tithe/offering given. However, I’ve always been a bit suspicious of why the “RECURRING GIFT” button is AUTOMATICALLY DEFAULT when you log on?? 

For anyone who is new to the app they wouldn’t quickly know to switch to “One Time Gift” if that what they wanted to do or what their Tithing budget allowed. 

But to make that the DEFAULT button could cause some to INADVERTENTLY chose and end up overdraft in their accounts. 

That leads to lost sheep who think they’ve been “Fleeced by another one of this preachers”. True story from someone I recommended this app to. 

My suggestion is to make “ ONE TIME PAYMENT “ the default settings… or change the color of the buttons for better recognition.

Thanks

### 1/5 — Privacy nonexistent

*2020-10-26, version 7.5.2*

There should not be an app i the market that should force you to us a phone number to login. I’m sure I am not the only one getting way too many telemarketing calls or text, and this is exactly how It happens. If I can go to your website and login with just an email, then I should be able to do that on the app. There is a suspicious and seemingly dubious reason for requiring a phone number—my guess is to either sell or store unnecessarily.

### 4/5 — Can not make a transaction

*2020-06-15, version 7.5.2*

Up until now I was able to initiate a transaction and the last two days nothing is working. I am not able to change the $ amount and any other functions are not responsive either. IT please fix it. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Lame Sauce

*2020-06-14, version 7.5.2*

App doesn’t support FaceId so you have to enter a pin every time.   Doesn’t let me over-ride the default of “make this a recurring gift” to “give one time”. Good way to accidentally miss that and drain your bank account.  Tech support is very slow   Good luck getting a response within 6 weeks.  I only wish I could give it a ZERO.

### 1/5 — Customer Service?

*2020-05-09, version 7.5.2*

I recently, one week ago, installed this app to make a monthly recurring donation to my church.  The transaction reported that it had been made but then I see an error without any explanation of what the error was.  I sent an immediate support question regarding this transaction and now one week later have not heard any resolution or even that they are looking into it.  By the way, the app shows no history of the transaction ever being done.  So there doesn’t seem away to look at a giving history.  But for them not to respond with a resolution or follow up question is inexcusable!

### 3/5 — Face ID? Apple Pay?

*2020-03-15, version 7.5.2*

Needs a software update.

### 2/5 — Used be 5-Star App, now Disappointing

*2020-02-15, version 7.5.2*

Used to be a great app, but now when I push the “GIVE” button, it opens up my web browser to perform the transaction. So what’s the point of an app., if I’m doing the work in a browser?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Least Favorite App for Payments and Transfers

*2026-04-12, version 7.6.1321*

The app makes it nearly impossible to delete payment methods, the app has created two separate accounts with my email and phone number. Trying to get support to merge accounts but that is even harder than deleting a payment methods.

### 1/5 — useless

*2026-03-15, version 7.6.1321*

the web app is so flawless and easy to use. theres no point in wasting phone space with this.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-12-14, version 7.6.1321*

Terrible app and it is an understatement! Needs big time clean up. Freezes in iPhone and does not allow me to enter $ amount. Misses the point!

Apple Pay is being removed. Do you think I will trust you to store my credit and banking information? Are you kidding? Think again!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-26, version 7.6.1321*

A nightmare just to set up an account I abandoned giving!!! Rubbish

### 1/5 — Withdraw without my permission

*2025-09-04, version 7.6.1321*

I used it to support a local church. Today my bank statement shows a withdrawal, which I did not authorize.  Shame on this company. Whoever is using this app should check your bank statement NOW.
No option to give them 0 star

### 1/5 — App not working

*2025-02-02, version 7.5.2*

Keep getting an error message while using the app. Nothing I did in help center suggestions will work that is supposed to help solve the problem. Tried the website and same problem.

### 1/5 — Frozen

*2023-10-14, version 7.5.2*

The app crashed once, and now it no longer loads.

### 1/5 — Please add Apple Pay for security

*2022-10-23, version 7.5.2*

Please add Apple Pay for security

### 1/5 — Huge hassle to delete account

*2022-08-06, version 7.5.2*

As far as I understand we legally have the right to ask our personal data to be removed and account deleted. Apps that do not have a straightforward way of doing this in my opinion are unethical and on my do not ever use again list.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2022-02-28, version 7.5.2*

This app processed a payment with an expired card and the company won’t provide me an explanation as to how it happened. I will not use this app anymore.
