Ratings and reviews

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.

I have to say that I am pleased with the new interface it's smooth and very easy to navigate. However I have issues with these vendors that claim that they buy gift cards at a very high price. Then during the trade they will tell you that the market price has dropped for that card that you should open another trade with a by inputting a lower amount. If they can't put the correct rate on their offers that they want to buy a gift card then they should not be allowed to do so during trade.

Scam!! Liars! Cheaters! Thieves!!! Not upfront about pricing or honest capabilities of their app. They claim you can buy/sell using PayPal or a credit/debit card. So I signed up, transfered money from another btc wallet and see they already took around $5 out of just a $30 transfer. Now I find out they don't actually offer transfer/selling option to debit/credit card as they claim! And to transfer back to my original wallet, they will charge me another $5! So stealing $10 out of $30! Disgusting!
