Mostly convenient, somewhat fast It works for simple stuff and for some weird reason is the only way I can send money from my debit card (website blocks my card). However app lacks ability to copy mtcn into clipboard and can't track transfer directly from history screen. You gotta type it on a separate form. I feel blessed that at least it works reliably.

So convenient when you live in country Love the ability to send money online and not drive 30 miles to nearest Kmart and wait in line then fill out paper work. NEGATIVE is I wish we could use security question incase person picking up isn't available. Then you are in a jam cant just switch names. Have to cancel wait a week for refund and send more money you may not have. Add that and this is a great app.

Won't let me send money I've had for a while now but suddenly it has stopped letting me send money. It says you can always send money through a agent location if that's something i wanted to do i wouldn't have tried to get to app in the first place!! I have deadlines to take care of and this is just a waste of time

User BEWARE!!! Their claim of 3-4 day transfer from a bank account is a LIE! They will take money from your account and then tell you it may take about 7 days before it is available. Their phone support staff are imbeciles who either pass the buck or spout out corporate bull. Their email complaint form is non-functional. And if you manage to cancel your transaction, it will take an additional 7 days before your money is returned. BEWARE!!!

MUST FOX After using this application the money was not available for 4 to 5 days to the person receiving. They said I had to call to proof my identity. This doesn't make sense because my identity has been established once I open an account and my bank account was verified by Western Union. I was on the phone for 30 minutes to proof my identity. They also said this process will be repeated every time I use the mobile application. I should just go into a Western Union because the money will be available immediately.

Excellent App I don't think I have ever been so impressed with a new version of an app. I used their app years ago and found it limited. However, with this version I was able to login and do what I needed to do in a matter of minutes. The easy interface and outstanding options have made this the goto app for sending money to my family far away.

Thumbs down Truly a waste of time like every other comment on here this app is a waste of time and memory on ur phone installing then uninstalling, can't log in, has technical difficulties, can't delete people who u added for a 1 time send, forever to refresh damn page, it's no wonder you see all those people in line at the store coz they were screwed by the app! Or it's coz they are smart and want money sent right!

Cannot change contact on app Stupid app. Cannot change my daughter's last name because she got married. I hope she can pick up her f-in money, as it sent it in her maiden name. NOT HAPPY

Bethany Ann Hey September 24, 2016

Hate western union I feel like western union is getting worse by the minute. Their motto is "send money fast and easy" but it is NOT easy to send money! My transactions always get denied. And when i call costumer service they tell me that there is no reason for it to get denied.

John Monk September 5, 2016

Secure, Simple and User Friendly So easy and affordable. I haven't in the past had to send money to any one. Now that I do this is a great application program I can help out my friends in need. Making them happy makes me happy.. Thank you Wester Union.

WitTheBlam Pham August 24, 2016

Terrible Every time, I used any type of online method to sending money I get decided even though my information is correct and then I have to call and go for about an hour before anything MIGHT work. Majority of the time I have to go to a Western Union office location to send anything and it's hard for me to even get the time too.

Mike Buck September 20, 2016

Very disappointed The local WU kiosk was down AGAIN so I had to use this app. It is 3 times the cost. I am a very good customer, a repeat customer but I will now have to find another way to send money. $31 to send money is way too high. You have lost me as a customer.

Roxanne Williams September 8, 2016

Awesome This is just an awesome app. 70% of the times I can't depend on the WU in my area, because their systems are always down... now with this app, it is so convenient and fast and even when I'm busy, I can send money within 5 mins from the comfort of my home.

Sam Watson September 6, 2016

Great way to send money to kids and family If it wasn't for my kids I would never have used this app. As it is this app saves me time and headaches. It is a great app and works very smoothly!! Almost too smoothly!

Hasib Azizi September 23, 2016

This app is a joke. When I send money to a certain country via agent, the fee is only $10.00. But when i tried to send the same amount of money via this app, it showed me a $34.00 fee. At this point Moneygram seems like a much better option.

David Konstam September 12, 2016

App works great but... Western Union as a whole has turned into a pile of horse manure. I do not get my My WU points for my transactions, I can't use the points I do earn, and my entire transaction history has completely disappeared.

Robert Lockhart August 26, 2016

Simple as that I've been using western union for about a year now and its so easy and simple to use. Its reliable and convenient, I haven't had a problem sending or receiving money. Really great app.

POS app don't install Worst app ever. Takes forever to load a screen. When it does load it's always an error. Don't waste your time.

Steven Brown August 25, 2016

Super safe, super easy way to transfer money Don't always have access to a computer to send money to friends and family overseas. App makes the process convenient and secure. Remembers previous transactions which make new transactions even easier.

Shelron Davis September 3, 2016

Slow moving app! This app is ridiculously slow! Whether I'm on wifi or not it takes forever to load and defeats the purpose of being a quicker option than going to the store.

Kendra K August 23, 2016

Super convenient! Very easy to use... The best thing about it is that I can send money back home without leaving the house and the money is available for pickup in a matter of minutes :) Love it!

chuck marshall September 16, 2016

Chuck The worst app. I have never been able to send money through this app. It always says, "sorry, we're unable to process your transaction at this time, go to WU store and send money in person... well then, whats the freaking point of the app then???. I have thousands of dollars in my account and multiple credit cards with large limits and it will not take any card I use, no matter what... Other family members and friends have the same problem. I'm better off mailing cash through USPS.

The Shadow August 19, 2016

They need to incorporate all the features you can access on the website. I can earn points through the app, but cannot redeem them through the app. The process is long and painful.

Darrell Parker August 25, 2016

Very fast and quick. As a truckdriver hard for me to find places to send money from. This app changed all that

Rafael Ayala August 25, 2016

After the problem... After the problem that I couldn't download the app.. I have had nothing but good luck.. No problems anymore. Really happy.

BRIAN ANDERSON August 26, 2016

Useless app Takes forever to log on and then says technical difficulties. Web site is just as bad, this is why I use PayPal and Moneygram. Thought I would try it again, the website and this app are garbage

D Diom September 24, 2016

Great app I have tried once but I like it is really convenient. But we should be able to send an amount of to two and each person could pick his portion separately according to sender settlement. What do you think of that?

Dee Guy August 20, 2016

Great app Only time I ever had a problem was when I changed my info on my account. Even then, they were looking out for me.

owusu aduomi September 8, 2016

Higher fee with lower exchange rate How come you people charge the highest fees but give the lowest exchange rates. Terrible. Check world remit....the best.

Linda Pain August 21, 2016

Aasshh Why now is not letting me do any transaction im trying to send money to my country it ask me for more secure information i put it in and is not going through.

Sara Fowler August 25, 2016

Awful app! Doesn't work when we search for a biller...I type the biller's information in, hit search, and nothing happens. Can't continue with the payment if I can't choose a biller. So pissed off!

Kermith Tristani August 30, 2016

The app worps pretty good The fees are expensive but the app itself is cheap and free lol...it makes it easy to get money to my daughter in college.

Ismael Blanco September 7, 2016

Truck driver Very easy to use, not having to go to a physical location is awesome. Definitely recommend this app, works the way it's supposed to. Thanks Western Union 😎

Jared Guthrie August 31, 2016

Convenient and Easy to Use I routinely send money overseas. With the repeat transaction function, it saves me all the hassle of entering in the information.

Kimber Williams August 26, 2016

It never worked. I always had to call and even when I did call they would try to refer me back to the online app. Ugggh. Frustrating

sandra facey August 18, 2016

The survey prompt came up before I could record my tracking number. And it disappeared

9Ball Diva August 27, 2016

The worst How many times do I have to log in without resetting my password or the app doesn't read my card information right. Get it together WU!

Daniel Clark August 25, 2016

Western union app Completely useless. It failed to send money. And all support tech could say is you have to go to store. Thus this app is useless.

troy newkirk September 2, 2016

I always uses this but the last time that I did they took 3 weeks for them to take the money out my account and they over drew it. I don't know what happened but I was pissed
