Ratings and reviews

I like everything but they should make it easier to report scams by selecting the transaction instead of going through all these different selections. There's a lot of people being scammed this way by strangers sending money and requesting money. It would be better to cancel, block and report these suspicious activities through the app but it doesn't let you.

I've tried some of the other apps and paypal is simply better. More simple, can actually withdraw my balance without needing to get a new card, and they protect my purchases. Can say I've had them save me from at least 2 different scams since I started using them a couple years ago. Don't normally do reviews but had alot of trouble with cashapp so I'm willing to give them credit where it's due.

Update: App works now. Did not follow up with PayPal customer service. But, there should be a message or something from the app stating that there are technical difficulties (i.e. server maintenance, we are experiencing technical difficulties, or something) instead of the app just force closing itself. Old: App keeps force closing after as soon as I login, was working before. Deleted cache, Uninstalled and reinstalled, issue keeps happening. When the app does work, it is easy to use and useful.
