PayPal has been a lifesaver for me! This app stood by me during tough times when my bank account was in the negative due to stolen money. It became my go-to for all transactions, ensuring I could still pay for everything seamlessly. The feature allowing installment payments with zero interest is fantastic. Plus, the ability to transfer money with minimal to novfees adds to the app's overall greatness. PayPal, you've been my reliable financial companion, and I can't recommend you enough :)

The app constantly crashes, cannot use it at all on S24 Ultra, latest update. As soon as you log in, it crashes, the system also now placed it into a deep sleep because its constantly crashing. I also emailed support and had no replies back, I can only log in via browser. The 1 star is based on my experience with it, which is - cannot do anything with the app, so had to be removed as no support is provided either.

Usually everything is fine. But I can't transfer my money anymore because of the buggy keyboard layout. When I want to send money to my account it always interpret as example 7.80 to 7,8000.80. And so on. I live in Germany and set the system language to english. I don't thing it matters, because before that changes it already was functional and all of my friends have similar problems. Edit: Still can't send MY money to me. Bad for a app that sense is to send money.
