### 3/5 — It’s buggy

*2026-08-30*

The app is really buggy. It logs me out frequently (multiple times a day) and the campaign I created only shows on the website now. When I first set it up from my phone it worked and I was able to accept a tap payment. Very convenient! Now the campaign only shows up on the website. Deleting and reinstalling did not help.

### 1/5 — Can’t create account

*2026-08-27*

The workflow to create a new account as a first time user is glitching. I select to create a new account, I enter the information it asks for, I select that I’m an individual and a donor, then it takes me straight to the log in screen. When I enter the information I used to create the account to log in, it tells me no account exists. I went through this same process 4 times.

### 5/5 — Handy app

*2026-08-05*

This app made our non-profit feasible to expand and much easier to manage. Amazing tool.

### 2/5 — Dysfunctional Website

*2026-06-15*

I have been using Zeffy for at least 6-8 months and at my first campaign it seem to work and point me in a positive direction. As time passed, I realized I needed to update the campaign and add more. Trying to login to the account versus the campaign payment is horrible.  Once you type anything in a field it doesn’t allow you to go back to make corrections, but pushes you into creating a new account and wants you to create new campaigns.  All I want is a single login where I can manage my account and campaigns and my transfers.  It should be rather easy with an icon that one enters their credentials.  But unfortunately it is not.  Most of my access is done from my iPhone.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-16*

No one should have to work this hard to give someone else money

### 3/5 — Good but needs work

*2026-05-13*

I wish the app worked like the online platform for people to enter their info better and show the one-time, monthly, yearly options.

### 2/5 — Extremely limited

*2026-05-12*

I feel like we should be able to edit campaigns. The app feels like it’s missing basic functions

### 5/5 — Fast and reliable!

*2026-04-24*

It works great and much more seamless to accept payments in person. Tap to pay has consistently worked well for us!

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-04-05, version 3.0.18*

I can’t register

### 1/5 — The app does not match

*2026-03-05*

Everything the app states it can do, it does not. It definitely does not have any of the features available on the website. Definitely unfortunate-hope they can create an app that works alongside the site more cohesively.
