Ratings and reviews

Works well for travelers in China without a mainland China bank account. HelloRide and DiDi mini-apps are useful for getting a bicycle, moped or car ride-sharing with all charges set to the credit card entered into the AliPay app. The translate button is helpful. You can also make payments by scanning a merchant QR code or getting them to scan yours, if they have a scanner terminal.

this is a typic malicious software. it always pops out ad while not using every 5-10 minutes. I closed all permission, but no use. I logged out my account, it always pops out login page. I stopped it in my cellphone setting, but it pops out login page .

Despite negative reviews, this app has been a lifesaver for me. The translated pop-ups in Chinese are helpful, and its user-friendly interface made it easy to navigate. A tutorial video for real-life situations, such as market or store use, would benefit new users. Personally, it saved me money on taxis and protected me from scams, eliminating the need for cash & card. Would recommend for everyone even if you don't have a chinese card works with european cards.
