Thank you Great app, great way to empower the Android ecosystem. Getting Chase as one of the partners was one of the best decisions Google (and Chase) have made in recent memory. As more kiosks become NFC friendly, I find fewer reasons to bring a fat wallet with me. Thank you to the Android Pay team for changing the way we handle our purchases!

Not compatible with most of my cards This would be a great app if I could really use it. Of all the cards I have, only two work with Android pay (which is better than a few months ago when only one would work, but still, my main card doesn't work - Barclaycard). The real kicker here is that I was able to use all of the cards I have without a problem on my iPhone with Apple pay. We'll see if more banks get added in the future...

Don't force me to use screen lock I used to love paying with my phone, but won't now due to the unacceptable screen lock requirement. It requires a pin or password for the whole phone instead of just for the app. Put the pin back at the app level instead of telling me how I have to use my phone. I don't want to have to use a pin or password every time I unlock my phone, which could be dozens of times a day, just so I can use Android Pay a couple times a week. Forcing me to use my phone a certain way is very un-Android.

**Revised** Please work with Huntington Bank to allow this! **No longer allows a virtual card to be used with First Merit or Huntington Bank. I received new debit cards, & now I'm told my bank won't work! Android Pay allowed my old cards to work 4 the last year +, because it gave me virtual cards! No longer! :( 5 stars when I can use again! ** Never had a problem on Note4! I use it all the time! Plus it stores all the store cards, so I no longer need to carry cards, & just scan my phone at the register. Perfect!

Overly intrusive for little return When can I choose to have an app lock instead a device lock? User should decide on PIN lock or app lock. I can't use this app because there are times that i need to unsecure my phone for work. There are times when I require the ability to un-PIN. In my work I can't be seen spending 30 seconds keying in a PIN to view a 5 second text. The PIN should be on the app, not on the phone. Until Pay is everywhere, it's only useful .5% of my week.

Sundus Khan

Loved it I have tried different cards from HSBC and they worked seamlessly.. Used it in Bnm, Tesco, Asda and in many local stores and everytime it was a breeze. It worked on every contactless terminal, just to wake up the device and tap n go. I wish Google would have a loyalty program of itself for using the Android Pay and it will encourage more people to use it.

Hi Greg, we hear you. While not all cards are supported in Android Pay yet, we’re working hard on adding new banks and cards every day. Please check with your bank for details on when Android Pay will be supported. We'd love to see you back!

Hi Kevin, We hear you! At this time, to help ensure customers' payment information is safe, participating payment networks/banks approve unlock methods for Android Pay. The product team is exploring options.

Hey Brian, we really appreciate the feedback. We understand some cards that previously worked with Wallet no longer work with Android Pay. We're working hard to sign up more banks so your cards will work again. In the mean time, you can check the most current list of supported banks and cards here https://goo.gl/UstASN Thanks for reaching out!

Neil Scott September 27, 2016

Why??? Had to wait for months for Natwest to join the club and allow their cards to work with Android Pay. I'm that time waiting, I decide to drag my Samsung Note 3 into the modern age and flash it with Marshmallow. Oopsie, as now Android Pay won't work with my phone - probably because it's now been rooted. Ah well.......I've since flashed back to stock note 3 lollipop, and can now use AP.

Google Inc. September 27, 2016

Hello Neil, we appreciate your interest in Android Pay. Participating banks require Google to verify the security model on the device. When a device is rooted, Android Pay loses the ability to make that verification. We hear you and we're working on it.

Robert Spearing September 27, 2016

Absolute waste of space - installed and opens ok, but 'unable to verify that your device is android compatible' when trying to actually add a card. This is on a stock, unrooted, locked bootloader Huawei Mate 8, running the latest official B321 release marshmallow software direct from Huawei. **UPDATE** can't believe this STILL isn't fixed, even though Google are aware of the issue! It's been several months now

Google Inc. May 19, 2016

Hi Robert, thank you for the review. Can you set the display mode to large and see if that solves the problem? We're investigating an issue with display mode settings on the Mate 8.

Khalid Mumtaz September 24, 2016

Fast & No Hassle does as it says, never had any issues when paying. easy to switch between payment cards. dont know why some ppl are rating the app low due to some backs not being on board, thats not the apps fault, its the banks!

Wai Don September 26, 2016

Update came late Ok. never mind what I said, the update today answered my question....Do I need to turn on the NFC to use it ? I tried to use it, not working. no article can tell me should the NFC turned on to use it or not. Samsung pay worked great without the NFC turn on. By the way, on S7, the tap and pay show Samsung Pay and Android Pay, any instruction on how to use it? it also show Tag " Other ", with Android Pay in it. Should I check the box? any instruction?

Jerry Turner September 27, 2016

Wallet was compatible with more cards Google wallet worked with every card I had, now my small credit union card won't work, nor will my Barclays card. Since the change to Pay not one of my cards work after needing to update replacement cards so the app does nothing more then hold the store loyalty cards. Not sure why my cards worked after the change from Wallet but not now, nothing has changed but the number.

Saimon Lovell September 27, 2016

Full of bugs dont even work. I get error "Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible". Totally useless. The new updates still did not fix this issue. I am using 6.1

Christian Kebbie September 26, 2016

Android Pay Needs More Security / Verification!! This app should really ask you for some sort of verification each time you open it, such as a registered fingerprint, Google Account password or a PIN created by the user. It should also ask you for one of these when switching to it from another open app. Finally, the app should be able to lock you out after a user-defined number of seconds or minutes and ask you to provide your fingerprint, Google Account password or a PIN to continue using it (to prevent unauthorized use).

Leonidas Faux September 27, 2016

I think I have the only bank that isnt supported... First Merit Bank and my Mastercard from it doesnt work, upsetting. My fiancée has a different bank and hers works. Makes me jealous! Hopefully support for my bank will be eventually added

Steve Williams September 24, 2016

Liars! Blah blah blah "Unlike apple pay android pay already has the banks on board". ..what a load of garbage! Australia's largest bank Commonwealth is not participating...! You guys just lie to attempt to steal from apples customer base. pathetic! don't bother replying I have errors with every google service and application in my device. you people need spend your money on fixing the errors within google before trying to branch out on ventures that are nothing more than attempts to steal from apples ideas.

Lee Robottom September 27, 2016

It's about time I got so excited when it was launched in the UK. Until I realised my bank at the time didn't support it. Now they do I use it everywhere where the the retailer supports it. I also notice if the retailer supports Apple Pay, Android Pay works there as well so happy days

Steve Solomon September 27, 2016

Loved Google Wallet! Now Android Pay! This has cut down on me carrying several loyalty cards. It also lets me store gift cards (although I wish there wasn't a limit (3) to how many you can load per store cuz I win a lot of gift cards at work)

Derric Smith September 27, 2016

Wow seriously pathetic! One of the main reasons why I choose this over Google Wallet was that I could use my loyalty cards along with my American Express Serve card but now I see I can't even do that anymore. Thanks a lot android pay!!!! Will be uninstalling this useless app ASAP!!!

John Rubinstein Mijares September 27, 2016

I guess it's cool when it works I just paid with it at McDonald's right now. It's pretty cool. But it's not really available everywhere, and with apps like Uber, sometimes it crashes and fails to pay, which means your order won't go through. So it's only cool when it works, but they need to work on making it better.

graham jones September 27, 2016

IF ONLY One major annoyance STOP making me have to use a password/pin/or finger print to open my phone! I now have to do this every time I pick up my phone even to use my so called hands free while I'm driving (my stering wheel controlls are now redundant untill i now unlock my phone) put the security in to the app NOT my phone PLEASE!!

Troy Starkey September 28, 2016

Yawn... Why buy a Nexus if nothing useful works???!!! Uninstalling, this lack of support compared to Samsung and Apple is amazing. I have Android 7.0, whoop-de-doo..... Can't actually use my phone as I could with my Samsung. Nexus6P + Australia = crap. Don't even bother! Its probably easier to buy a wallet style case and use the cards 'paypass', and turn off NFC to save battery... Thanks for the contacts page, also not useful since my bank isn't supported. Strangely, as I stated, Samsung and Apple are. So, give support the day off and employ some coders.

Google Inc. September 27, 2016

Hi Troy, thanks for contacting us. Please visit: https://goo.gl/tNCXEt Let us know that we responded to your Play Store review and that your issue should be escalated. We're happy to help!

Dan Dan September 27, 2016

Good... But could be better Works great with my debit card with no issues. The loyalty cards are another matter. I've scanned 3 into the app and none of the vendors can use the barcode scan. Tried myself and nothing happens. What is their purpose?

Greg Parker September 28, 2016

Works great Works perfectly for cards that MY BANK had enabled to use with Android pay. To the idiots marking app down, It isn't the fault of the app if not compatible with a card it's your bank, mark your bank down...f@#k!

Bob Henson September 28, 2016

Half way there Works very well, but it won't be finished until some huge omissions from the list of participating banks are rectified. It's hard to believe that it does not include American Express in the UK. It will still be held back whilst it requires a whole phone lock. A work (slowly} in progress.

Brian Moss September 27, 2016

Please Stop This app has updates just about every 2 hours. Ive never used it once but there it goes updating again. More notifications telling me I get a 5 cent gift card if I just spend $457 at The Dollar Tree.... I'd own the dump if I spent that. I dont need 457 pieces of crap. So annoying!!!

Barry Smith September 28, 2016

Now works with many more banks than at launch and it works fine for me. Every 1 in 20 (ish) transactions fail to approve (at the Terminal), but a second attempt works fine... Shop staff still love how cool + simple it is. You just need a shop that supports contact-less payments and you're in.

Graham Richmond September 26, 2016

Easy peasy, lemon squezey Only issue? Play Services needed to be updated to get it to work initially, and hadn't been updated in 5 months! Manual update was awkward but simple and then it just works.

Kevin Lui September 27, 2016

Don't know why people are complaining Used it at the McDonald's and Trader Joe's. No issues at all. Recently traveled overseas, had so much issues with chip and signature card. Luckily most places take tap and pay so used Android Pay

Nazran Hassan September 25, 2016

Great App As I was a bit unhappy with the fact that NatWest didn't work, to now receiving a email saying NatWest is a go I'm very happy. It's so simple to set up, no finger or unlock pattern to use just wake the phone up and slap it on. Works in all my great shops I go and I checked the list before, so quick on a Samsung Galaxy s6 but is a 100% go for me this app. Make sure the shop u want to use it in accepts by checking the list. Huge recommendations with this app.

Mike Arnwine September 27, 2016

Very convenient Android Pay has saved new a few times when I have forgotten my wallet. I use additional mobile device security to add an extra layer of restricted access should I have my phone stolen or lost.

Marc Newell September 23, 2016

Killed off my visa Can't use my visa from one bank because they're not participating yet, other visa works fine. Wallet let me use both with no issues, didn't care if the bank was participating

Cawalski Erikson September 28, 2016

Waste of time Ive tried adding a card number but everytime i clicked add a card it keep not responding so what i had to was keep closing until i got a little closer to adding. In the end it didnt happen and i think the people responsible for this app should remove it and re-add when functionallity is in a level that is without error, after dont people need to rely on this?

Robert Peters September 27, 2016

Used to be Good but now sucks Use to be good but now dosent accept my cards that I have been using for years. So basically android pay just booted me out. Fine pound sand! Wish I could give 0 stars

jordan atkinson September 27, 2016

Always pay using this now but... When I first downloaded the app I was disappointed that my bank wasn't supported, but it is now supported and I use it all the time to pay for stuff. However it annoys me that LG knockcode "is not secure enough" to be used as a lock screen with the app and forces me to have either a pin, password or (in my opinion one of the least secure lock screen) a pattern instead!!! So I now have to turn on the screen and type a number in rathere that simply tapping the screen and it unlocks without pressing a button!

DeJie Zhen September 27, 2016

Not great for note 4 MM Wow, note 4 updated to mm will now required to put in a password every time..so not only does it not allow you to unlock prior, but now the fingerprint scanner on the note 4 is not even recognized...will never be nearly as good as the old wallet. Time to move on to a Samsung with MST.

Aaron Banks September 27, 2016

Convenient but... Nice and easy for when I already have my phone in hand/left card at home,but my information occasionally is wiped from the app, which requires me to input everything all over again

Derek Larios September 27, 2016

Installs but crashes on open. I'm sure there's a good reason for this...I have some things purposely disabled on my phone so if I can determine what Android Pay needs at start-up maybe this can be resolved.

Lee Farmer September 27, 2016

Several retailers even app featured ones and not working. I downloaded this app advertised on my online banking. Have tried it in several retailers including those featured in the app and it hasn't worked once! Running a Galaxy Note 4. Seems completely useless aside of having the bar codes for loyalty cards handy but there's better apps for just doing that anyway. Very disappointed with this app.

Charls Trickel September 26, 2016

They ruined it Network error. Unreliable even with a good 4g phone signal. Update, still doesn't work half the time. Response: phone was awake, terminal had an Android pay logo, my bank visa worked flawlessly and quicker.

Google Inc. July 27, 2016

Adam Edkins September 27, 2016

Cant name cards Having a few cards that look exactly the same can be confusing to know which ones which. Would be better if you could name cards.

What's New
