Ratings and reviews

Worked great in the past, but something's wrong with it now. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times this school year and it's still not right. The option to add money is not visible except for a microscopic thin line and its next to impossible to tap on it. Also the purchase history shows only the last purchase. It's useless for anything other than seeing the balance. Do not rely on this app to add money!!!!

App is pretty bad. There is some overlay ad that pops up anytime you navigate to a new page. It grays out the screen, shows a spinning wheel, then after about 3 seconds is removed. Additionally, the notification center never updates, despite reading or deleting the messages. I've had the same 3 notifications there since I downloaded the app. Overall, needs a lot of work.

App will not allow me to log-in, just cycles back to the login page over and over. I used to be able to get in via the 'desktop' view from my phone but now that isn't working. Really frustrating to not be able to check balances or add funds when I need to. Also agree with other reviewers that the per transaction processing fee is very high, especially for ACH transfers from a bank acct that don't have high fees like credit card transactions.
