Came back after 6 years, very happy with the instant (and free!) transfer after being burned by Remitly several times. Thanks WU! 😎💸 EDIT: Everything functions properly as usual, but, I have to remove 1 star because the app is just so clunky, lots of delay between actions and menus. You need to have your team look into optimizing the UI and making operations smoother.

The app works BETTER and faster than the website! The biggest complaints I have is that it is very very annoying that unless you pay close attention, you will have your credit card information SAVED automatically! Then in much smaller print it says not now!!! This is sneaky and poor practice! I suggest you simply put a check box where you can choose to save or NOT SAVE your information! Second, the app won't store your password. I have to create a new one every sign in!!!please FIX!!!

It's getting better WU! Thanks for working out the bugs. UPDATE: tried to use points, wouldn't work. and now they will only allow 2.00 off no matter how many points you have...terrible! My biggest complaint is the send fees from the app are now astronomical in comparison with going to a WU send store, which is 2/3 higher in the WU app... WHAT?!. so that means more trips to send money. so I guess they're charging me for convenience? ridiculous 🤨. unfortunately, I have no other choice.
