Very annoying that they do not inform you that an app update is available. Rather than provide a notification on the homepage, you have to dig thru forums or playstore to determine if you have the most current version. Personally, I preferred to keep playstore and "auto update" disabled to prevent google messing with all my apps, but that is no longer realistic in the ever updating app world. I am resigned to keep it active😵‍💫, and thus, now get shakepay app update notifications.JUST SAY REQ'D

I love this app. Easy, intuitive crypto on/off ramp. The card is excellent too but I wish the rewards were more competitive. Would love to see account management/budgeting tools in the future!

Great app for converting BTC/ETH to & from CAD, and shaking to stack sats, but could use a couple changes. 1. Need autodeposit for eTransfers, to avoid the question/password hurdle 2. Needs a low-transaction fee coin like XLM, so we can cheaply transfer to Shakepay 3. Back button should work everywhere (account side pop-in doesn't)
