### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-20, version 2.36.2*

Can’t do anything without a pin and they don’t send one. Waste of data downloading the app

### 1/5 — No login ability and parking pay not working

*2025-09-25, version 2.35.2*

When I scanned the parking ticket it opened up my web browser to an empty page and wouldn’t let me pay the ticket. Then I uninstall and re-install the app, and it won’t let me login to my account. Instead I have to create a new account with the same phone number and email, overwriting my last account.

### 5/5 — Mr

*2025-04-17, version 2.35.0*

Excellent, safe and payment goes through so easy and quickly.

### 1/5 — Frustrated user

*2025-04-10, version 2.35.0*

Can you send confirmations the same day transactions are processed when they have not gone through and also state the reason. I cannot go to the store to pay my accounts and I check and tick all the boxes and get the thumbs up every time after I’ve made payment and I think nothing of it only to go back a few days later and there’s a msg on the app that the payment never went through…

### 5/5 — Easy to use and Quick

*2025-03-22, version 2.35.0*

I no longer need to carry all my cards and it’s so useful when making last minute orders online

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-03-05*

It doesn’t work but in a way that’s really annoying because you have to sign up add your card can’t use Apple Pay and only then realize that whoever made this doesn’t care about whoever is using it so much so that when it doesn’t work it just does _nothjng_

### 3/5 — Offline Loyalty card features

*2025-01-07, version 2.34.0*

The app works well when connected to internet. Is it possible for us to have an offline features for our cards, most digital wallets have this.

### 2/5 — Spam Notifications

*2024-02-19, version 2.31.2*

Ok… so I complained about this before and they actually removed the spam notifications for me, but there still isn’t an option to choose the type of notifications you want to receive.  I just received 6 notifications of loyalty cards and special offers this morning…. NOT ACCEPTABLE 

the app overall is pretty good, but the forced spam is enough to make me want to remove it. 

If you give us the option to choose what notifications we get, you will have much less irritation coming from us. I am 100% sure you understand that your app without notifications is a terrible option, so you just force adds onto us… fix it or loose customers, both merchants and buyers as I am sure to complain about Zapper every time I see it

### 5/5 — Dryer usage

*2023-07-09, version 2.29.1*

Sorta dope and kinda easy
My only struggle. Was paying directly from my Bank App. But then I managed to add my bank card. Hope it stays personal and private within myself and the zapper app

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-03-30, version 2.28.0*

App is simple to use, easy on the eyes and works everytime. I use it for as many transactions that I can due to its simplicity.
