Without a doubt, my favorite cryptocurrency app. It is close to perfect. Everything that you need to be able to find is right there, and its super easy to make transactions, beit buying or selling, as well as sending and receiving. I aaalmost prefer transactions on my phone now, over my pc. The only drawback is that, I have fat fingers.

This is gonna be my second or third feedback. Nice app but am having issues with the market. Each time I want to make a trade ( sell), after picking a client, the next page wouldn't open despite having network. Always error network. It's tiring. Please, upgrade on that and your customer service is poor.

Hi there. If you're having trouble with the app, you can try restarting the app, logging out/in, clearing your browser cache/data, or reinstalling the app. Also, check if your device is running on the latest version of your OS. If the problem still persists, please send a screenshot of the problem via PaxBot on our website. - Paxful Community Team

It's more than 20 days now, and payment hasn't complete its still pending. And it's been 5 days to open the ticket for help. But in response, I am receiving only appreciation message for patience... they are not taking responsibility. I suggest to everyone not to use this app and their website if you want to secure your funds.
