First, when I opened the app, it was freezing, but then it automatically tried to send $400 on its own. I closed it, and when I tried to add the exact amount the recipient needed, it refused to add the amount. I had to use their exchange rate, argue with Google because it was different, and have it calculate the USD to that currency before I was able to get the amount. It's slow, clunky, and seems to be geared toward me sending regularly rather than when I need to. Very disappointed in the app.

Works as described. Easier and cheaper than using overseas ATMs. Total mess when you try to send larger amounts. The customer support gave so much bad information over numerous calls that I had to do a dispute through my bank. Small amounts (under $2000) no problem. Any more than that and they don't really know how to handle it. After you reach a certain amount the app doesn't work properly and customer service becomes totally lost.

Horrific!!! what a mess, this app is just that, can't edit things even with the "edit pencil" just keeps you where you were no matter how many times you try to change things and ALL money transfer are set up for "monthly" by default, so if you didn't notice that good luck, I tried to change it and nope, so deleting this worthless app after I close my account
