Ratings and reviews

The app is good no lie! But you have to understand that not all people their touch screens work well. Their are areas on the screen which aren't accessible. So one has to rotate the screen in order to use the app in the landscape layout. This is just impossible with this app. So I just request for you guys to make this app also accessible in the landscape mode for people like us too! Thanks

Apart from the data privacy requirements that outlaw the visualization of the entire string of phone number 🔢 transacting, the app in itself serves me well. I don't know whether it's policy or network issues, but I've observed that when connected to competition Wi-Fi, one can't pay bills, withdraw or send money.! I stand corrected. Then we have the booster when current funds are down 👇. Unfortunately during multiple recipients, it doesn't work

Since last update this app has become closely to pathetic very slow and even if u try to see your monthly spend it does nothing (it keeps on changing the amount when u refresh the page) meaning it's not sure. And if you try to check last transactions it doesn't show it only shows the last 1 transaction. So for me I prefer the previous version coz it was perfect for me. The only good thing this new version came with is the auto night mode which is not even that important 👎
