Ratings and reviews

Decent basic functionality, but the UX is severely lacking. Every time I want to reorder cards or perform basic tasks like updating the card expiration date, I end up spending an excessive amount of time trying to figure out/remember how to accomplish the task. For an app with fairly basic functionality, I'm not sure how anyone managed to make it so complicated to accomplish simple tasks. Also, no Home Key, driver's license, power reserve, or other functionality to compete with Apple Wallet.

NOT fast, convenient, nor helpful, just cumbersome and annoying. When I tap to pay with a physical credit card, it only takes a few seconds. With Wallet, it often takes a few MINUTES. It first demands I enter my PIN for EVERY transaction, EVERY time, at EVERY merchant. But after I do, it almost always fails to recognize the transaction until the cashier resets the sale. This is extremely bothersome to me, to the cashier, and to the line of people behind me waiting to make purchases.

Adoption is pretty great. I have different cars for different purchases and when I open on wear os the cars that is initially shown could be shuffled as it loads. I'm the early days this meant I would use the wrong card for a transaction. Now it means I have to count to five after double tapping to use. Not a great user experience... Especially when this is faster in every other way.
