Ratings and reviews

I appreciate the convenience and speed of the app, but I am concerned about its lack of security. If my phone gets stolen, the app leaves my debit and credit cards vulnerable to theft and my accounts may get drained. Currently, the app does not have any built-in settings for a separate PIN or biometric lock, which means that if a criminal gains access to my unlocked phone, they can access all my credit and debit cards and potentially drain my accounts. This is unacceptable/major security risk.

Used it to pay for a $35 tank of gas and it showed a transaction amount of over $170. Had to pull up my card details to make sure it didn't over charge. (It didn't). This glitch combined with the lack of security settings (a review and confirmation screen, option to re-enter pin or fingerprint to confirm) these are basic security settings. Google, once a giant has fallen so far.

I used to use Google Pay all the time and now with the new setup, it to difficult to turn off the NFC. Once you turn it on from the Wallet you have to go like 3 steps deep into the settings menu to turn it off. Gone are the days that you can easily turn it on and off from the pull down menu at the top of in the app. Until this is changed I will go back to using credit cards physically.
