It can be from Apple Pay or Paypal account. Very handy. Thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — So easy. Well designed! *2017-01-04, version 3.1.2* What a brilliant idea. You can never find an ATM when you need one and the fees are so high! This is such a great idea. The app is well-designed, bug-free, and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2017-01-03, version 3.1.2* Really useful! ### 5/5 — Turn bit coin into cash *2017-01-02, version 3.1.2* I love spare, help me turn my pile bit coin into cash ### 5/5 — Nice *2016-12-29, version 3.1.2* Nice app to get money on the go ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-12-28, version 3.1.2* Easy way to get cash.

This company listened to our problem. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is such a waste of time *2023-01-26, version 5.2.16* You’ll travel from location to location to location aimlessly trying to find one to dispense cash to you only to have most tell you they can’t dispense cash because their drawer is low on cash’s. Just go to a actual ATM. So many banks waive your ATM fees anyway. It took me an hour to find a place to get money plus the time it took me to recover my fees for my first 3 attempts which took 4 days to recoup! **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear you has such a terrible experience with the app. Please reach out to our customer service team. We would like to know where the issue occurred so that we can get it fixed. Thank you for helping to make our network better. ### 1/5 — What a scam *2020-04-18, version 4.4.28* Warning this app does not do what it says. Now I have to get money back ### 1/5 — Such a trendy app you can’t sign up.. *2019-04-24, version 4.4.20* You click the “S”.. then you click the “S” again to sign up because you don’t want to connect your social accounts.. it asks for an email.. then says your email can’t be found. #fail1 you then linked your twitter, and you get the an error #fail2. Uninstall. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2019-04-24, version 4.4.20* Zero merchants in Chicago (the third largest city in the country, for those who didn’t already know). Don’t bother downloading it. ### 1/5 — Fraud fraud *2019-04-09, version 4.4.14* Don’t even bother, and be careful with this app by provided your personal information. ### 1/5 — Maybe it doesn’t work in my area? *2018-08-13, version 4.3.0* I tried to use the promo code you guys currently have advertised on Facebook and it told me the code was invalid multiple times also when I tried to message you guys about it the app kept telling me to check my connection even when I changed to multiple networks.. ### 1/5 — Theft - no merchants anywhere *2018-01-12, version 4.0* So I decided to try this app because they were giving a $10 bonus of I fill my account with $5 or more. It was only after I paid $5 that I was able to see that there were absolutely no merchants available in the entire state of Pennsylvania. There was also no way I would get a refund. To make things worse, I was logged out of the app and the app no longer allows me to sign-in with my google account to view my old $5 balance that I never got back. This is absolute fraud. It should be removes from the App Store. ### 1/5 — Not even close to being ready... *2017-08-20, version 3.6.3* Every single merchant listed (and there are only three in all of Los Angeles as of writing this) either didn't know how to complete a transaction or didn't even know what Spare was. This service, while it sounds good on paper, is nowhere close to being ready for the public. ### 1/5 — Ok App. *2017-03-23, version 3.5.1* Still needs a little bit of development. Not that great yet. ### 2/5 — None in so-cal *2017-10-31, version 3.6.3* And no PayPal . I was gonna put a lot of money through this . **Developer response:** Our application works and features are triggered by the available agents in the area. If you did not see an option for PayPal - there is a simple explanation, there aren't any agents in the area that are able to service you. We are growing our service area, we just haven't reached your area yet. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Got cash! *2023-09-18* Had a couple bugs but thankfully I have used this app a few times. Merchants are always active but when they are - it’s super easy. **Developer response:** Thank you for the positive feedback. If there is anything else we can do to make the experience better please let us know. ### 5/5 — SPARE: The Underground Railroad Cash Network *2022-09-02, version 5.1.7* First things first … The Free $5 Code is CKu828 Second is although I was skeptical at first there are a number of merchants in Las Vegas ( where I live) participating. Think of Spare as thr “Speak Easy Underground Railroad ATM” sure you can use 7 11 or Walgreens but you add more options that otherwise wouldn’t be available. Check em out ### 5/5 — Got $4 extra cash *2022-07-30, version 5.1.6* Made a request for $200 and received $4 extra. Transaction. Was free and then I made money. Weird ### 5/5 — Small businesses save money *2022-07-30, version 5.1.6* Save money giving out the cash that a hard car service would charge and consumers take thier place. More people, less cash on hand. ### 5/5 — ASt328 Use code too get $5 click on promo *2021-01-05, version 5.0.7* Click on the plus sign + you will see the word promo type in the code there. ASt328 ### 5/5 — So far, so good *2020-12-10, version 5.0.5* I just started messing around with the app but so far it’s pretty good. Best part is the awesome support team. They respond almost immediately and work hard to answer your questions and concerns. I look forward to using this app for my transfer needs. ### 5/5 — Thank Goodness for SPARE *2019-02-04, version 4.4.9* There aren’t many ATMs near me and the ones that do exist either are out of service or have exorbitant fees. Using SPARE, I can go to the store around the corner for cash. ### 5/5 — So easy! *2019-01-22, version 4.4.6* Who carries cash around?! Not me. Such an easy solution. I can take care of payments on the spot and no more IOUs! ### 5/5 — Spare is so smart! *2017-03-24, version 3.5.1* Love it. Help me to get cash whenever I need. Check it out! ### 5/5 — Extremely Convenient *2017-03-20, version 3.5* Makes getting cash incredibly easy, great job guys. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
