Unless the world and businesses alike completely accept crypto, this app is a scam. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-09-07* I feel this is a scam. Since 2021 my value has been stuck in this app because it doesn’t work when I try to pay via scan at the stores listed. There’s no support team that responds. I’m surprised this hasn’t gone to court. I want to be made whole but I feel my money is stolen at this point. If I had gotten a response I would have felt differently. ### 1/5 — No withdrawals, money is stuck in spedn account *2024-07-29, version 23.11.1* Spedn doesn’t allow you to withdraw your money. It feels like I don’t have access to my own money. ### 1/5 — You can do better *2023-12-13* Turn your crypto over to SPEDN and never, ever get it back? No withdrawals are allowed. KYC / AML / “proof of concept” are crapatulair excuses when every single wallet on the market allows withdrawals. Red Flag, stay away. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2023-07-14, version 22.7.1* Have a balance on there and it says I have no balance and can’t make payments. ### 2/5 — Poor support *2023-02-18* Emailed them 7 days ago about my missing crypto and no response. I’ll change my review if they come around. Not holding my breath at this rate. *Update Support returned my Crypto. That’s a plus. Sadly I’m hard pressed to find a location that accepts flexa payments and there’s no way to withdraw the crypto. Please add this feature Flexa/SPEDN! ### 5/5 — De-Fi is the Future…Merchants say bye-bye to card fees! *2023-01-14* Download this, if you are a consumer, or a business owner, this is the future of payment. It was in the Tierney, propagated by credit card companies, and their exorbitant fees, against merchants and consumers! ### 5/5 — Spend Crypto with Ease: Spedn Wallet Delivers! *2022-12-16* I recently tried out the Spedn crypto wallet and I can honestly say that it's an amazing product. It is incredibly fast, allowing you to quickly and easily store, and spend your cryptocurrencies. However, be aware that it is not meant to be used as a storage solution, but rather as a way to proof of concept. Therefore, it is important to not send more cryptocurrency to the wallet than you are willing to spend. The user interface is also very intuitive and makes managing your funds a breeze. Overall, I am extremely impressed with the Spedn wallet and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a secure and easy to use crypto wallet. 5/5 stars! ### 5/5 — SPEDN+AMP = WINNER *2022-12-13, version 22.7.1* The future is here!! Incredible app bridges crypto to the consumer. And the AMP token is it’s bride that makes it all work. UPDATED REVIEW: In reading all these 1 star reviews it’s clear they are fake. The app works at all the retailers they claim it doesn’t. I’ve used this countless times to spend my crypto. It not only works, it works ultra fast and never failed to work for me. ### 1/5 — Another crap app trying to KYC'in you to death *2022-10-15, version 22.2.3* Hate crappy apps like this. When are retailers going to learn that you dont need to pay fees to crappy companies that this in order to accept crypto. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — My crypto is held hostage *2025-12-09* 4 years can’t send cant use. When this ponzi goes belly up, where my crypto go Riddle me that At this point, and this is an update December 20 25. Are you still holding my money hostage? I can’t spend it. You have never even added Stores to your thing that doesn’t even work. I’ve tried it doesn’t work. Nobody knows what the hell it is. I’ll be finally a complaint with the App Store. That you take people’s money you hold it it’s in your possession. I can’t send you move it or do anything. ### 1/5 — Error message for all merchants *2025-11-15, version 23.11.1* None of the businesses give a QR code for me. My money is locked in the app now and customer support doesn’t reply. Do. Not. Download. This. App. You will lose your money. It’s amazing that Apple hasn’t removed this app from the AppStore. ### 1/5 — Withdrawal function necessary *2025-10-26* I’m unable to use stores have not accepted tho they remain on the list now I just have my balance sitting in limbo? Please withdrawal ability so I can remove and load when I find availability which is rare Thank you ### 1/5 — Stole funds *2025-10-24, version 23.11.1* Deposit never appeared in wallet, address confirmed, days later, sufficient tx confirmations ### 1/5 — Made a deposit, it’s disappeared and website help link doesn’t work *2025-08-15* Well, I’m wondering if this is some type of scam because that’s interesting that this deposit didn’t go through and that’s your help link doesn’t work ### 1/5 — My ADA coin value was cut in half right after depositing to SPEDN. *2025-06-16* I need to get it fixed to receive the other half of coin value. And there is no customer service contact information listed on SPEDN. It’s hopeless and frustrating. ### 1/5 — money back! *2025-05-03* I have had this app for 3 years and i cant use my funds no where and there is still no ption to withdraw to another wallet i feel like it is a scam just give me my money back. ### 1/5 — Can’t transfer back, extremely limited options *2025-04-27* They need to make it so I can transfer my BTC back to my wallet. Customer service is literally non-existent. The Help page does not even work. None of the stores where I tried to use their codes have even heard of it, nor do the codes work at all. ### 1/5 — My crypto is held hostage *2025-02-11, version 23.11.1* 4 years can’t send cant use. When this ponzi goes belly up, where my crypto go Riddle me that ### 1/5 — Just allow me to pull what I put in. *2024-12-18* I’ve had the app for four years now, and most places I’ve visited that the app apparently supports, are skeptical of scanning the app. For four years whatever I deposited has been stuck, and the team behind the app at Flexa will still not allow you to withdraw your deposits or send your Dogecoin out to another wallet. Unless the world and businesses alike completely accept crypto, this app is a scam. It’s been four years, and the help page is no longer active either. I want my money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — game changer *2024-12-08* If you need a reason to validate cryptocurrencies and the legitimacy of it IRL, look no further than Flexa powered by the AMP token! ### 5/5 — Nice *2024-11-24, version 23.11.1* Very nice ### 5/5 — This app is a great start! *2023-09-28* I’m impressed. SPEDN my Litecoin all day long ### 5/5 — This is the future of payments *2023-07-24* SPEDN is a cutting edge, proof of concept app. Using it in a store is the kind of experience you will tell your grandchildren about, that you were one of the first to use crypto to pay for goods & services at a brick and mortar store. You might even need to explain to the cashier how it works … that’s part of the adventure. The future of payments is here, and it’s fast, secure, & offers relief from the crushing costs of credit cards for both stores and customers. It’s also a lot of fun :) ### 5/5 — What’s not to like? *2023-03-02* Easy to use, this method of payment is the future no doubt! ### 5/5 — Great app easy to use. *2023-02-25* It’s great to spend my crypto! Can’t wait to see what other businesses hop on board! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-02-25* Super easy to use and even faster to pay with! ### 5/5 — Cool discounts occasionally *2023-02-24* I was able to buy some video games using some stable coins at GameStop through this app, and they gave $25 back for some promo ### 5/5 — Spedn *2023-02-24* Buying burritos at Chipotle with crypto via the SPEDN app is a breeze! Its also accepted at a bunch of businesses (Nordstrom’s, Petco, BB&B, Regal cinemas, Office Depot, Ulta Beauty….) saves your favorite merchants huge amounts in processing fees. A win win. ### 5/5 — Utility *2023-02-24* This app is truly part of revolution. I can go to over 40,000 plus retail stores to purchase my needs and wants with crypto. It is like Apple wallet in your phone except you’re able to spend crypto. Thank you SPEDN for opening the door to the future of payments.
