### 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.

### 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.

### 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

### 4/5 — Constantly working to make it better

*2026-02-01*

I love zeffy so much. The concept, creating forms, and this app. Yes, the app has bugs, but it’s definitely improved over the years. It now stays connected to the card reader or automatically reconnects. I so wish it was faster to get through the process. The long delay on “hand phone to customer” drives me crazy.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t load

*2025-11-24*

Stopped loading recently.

### 2/5 — Really wanted this to work

*2025-10-06*

Cannot login no matter what I try.

### 2/5 — Nothing to see here folks

*2025-09-17*

Got the app.  Opened it.  Just a blank screen with a search field.  No way to sign up or sign in.  Restarted.  No change.  Deleted and redownloaded.  No change.  

I look forward to using this app in the future.

Update:  I pressed sign out.  Although I hadn’t actually signed in, this helped.  However campaigns that look great in the editor are completely different on the phone.

### 1/5 — not great

*2025-09-09*

app will not configure the card reader making the app useless

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2025-07-21, version 3.0.10*

Cannot sign in using Google

### 1/5 — Very lacking

*2025-05-23*

Zeffy itself is great, just what we need for non profit organizations. The app is not so great, in fact it’s terrible. There’s no tap to pay on iPhone 16 and above. There’s really nothing you can do with this app it basically just takes you to the zeffy website. I do understand that zeffy is free and makes its money from donations. Maybe we need to donate more so that they can at least make the app into something more useful and stand alone.

### 1/5 — Stopped working at a market

*2025-04-09*

Product stopped work for our non profit at a local market, highly disappointing for it to not work even when reinstalled

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-02-18*

I’ve tried this with two different people. Both times their cards wouldn’t take and an error showed up. Zeffy isa great service, but the App is useless.

### 1/5 — Great app but nervous

*2025-02-08*

This app seems great but I’m nervous to actually use it at my event because the reader is glitchy - works one day then not the next. I keep having to reinstall over and over and cross my fingers. Seems this is a known issue — please fix!!

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2025-01-25*

Don’t bother downloading their app. The website is 1000% more functional because it works. Unlike their app.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-16*

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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Misleading fundraiser platform

*2026-01-19, version 3.0.16*

Selective bias against conservative causes

### 1/5 — Just keeps getting worse

*2025-11-21*

This app really just keeps getting worse. After the update the app won’t even load. This is really a great concept but the execution is horrible.

### 1/5 — App is bricked from update

*2025-11-21, version 3.0.15*

The app no longer works since the update on 11/20/2025

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work since iOS update

*2025-11-21*

Recently updated to iOS 26.1 and now the app hangs when I try to open it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-02*

Tap to pay doesn’t work! The app gets stuck at the tip step with no option to move on.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-01*

Would love to give this a try for payments at events but the app is broken. It gets to the tip page and gets stuck. There’s no way to turn off the tip and no way to move forward from there. Really wish the developers would fix this app.

### 5/5 — Handy app

*2026-08-05*

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

### 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!

### 5/5 — Works for me!

*2025-12-09*

You need to have an account in Zeffy. It can be a Tap to Pay account, with access only to this feature. Your Zeffy account handles the bank connection.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-12-06*

Super easy to use on iPhones. Great and user friendly design.

### 5/5 — Goat

*2025-11-20, version 3.0.15*

Took a while to get tax code to use but this app has everything and templates for anything you’d ever need. So easy to set up, use, cash out and everything. Stop doing everything and fixing every little detail on a site that takes a fat percentage and use zeffy

### 5/5 — Finally in Canada!

*2025-01-22*

I’m very happy, it works like a charm. Thanks Zeffy!

### 5/5 — Great for our nonprofit events!!

*2024-09-19*

Really great for our fundraising events, allows us to accept payments easily at no cost. Saves us from having to get a physical terminal.

### 5/5 — So easy to use - and it’s free!

*2024-09-19*

Our nonprofit has been using Zeffy for a little over year now for all of our fundraising for our events, collecting donations on our website and hosting raffles! This app is a game-changer for selling tickets at the door and collecting in person donations - can’t believe our guests can tap their card on our phones and its that easy for them to pay!! Plus of course it’s always free!!! Thank you to the Zeffy team

### 5/5 — Zeffy (Change Makers)

*2024-07-09*

This organization has created a way for non profits to flourish. Many companies have forgotten what it means to give back to the community and make a difference... Thank you Zeffy team

### 5/5 — Such a game changer

*2023-08-30*

We used it to sell tickets at the door and at concessions for our event. Quick, simple and we received our money rapidly.
