Hey

This app just makes it easier to pay and receive payments from friends.

nice

Don’t do it

Amazing app. Use it everyday. Makes things easy and saves trips!

Works exactly like it says no problems at all.

The app is dumb they freeze you for just about anything

Shouldn’t have to say what it’s for that also shouldn’t be public it’s not a social network

Best app

I double paid bc there is not a submitted message

Super awesome

Easy best app/transfer of $ ever. Love Venmo!!

Seriously it’s awesome!!

This app works so well in my life right now that a short review is the least I can do

Let’s be real cash payments are the thing of the past

Works like a champ and transfers happen very quickly.

Love Venmo. Hope they don’t change. My daughter is far away. This helps so much!!

Easy

Venmo is easy to use. My transaction was quick and easy.

This app is so handy, pay my rent with it, pay friends, super secure and just with the times.

Literally the easiest and smoothest process. The funds are almost immediate.

It takes three days to verify my bank info really ??? What a joke

Pay Pal needs to bring back Venmo groups

Love that it’s so easy to pay my friends back for anything :)

Woxjnekwoxhebrkqidudbe

Easy peazy

Awesome app!

Venmo teamed with Uber so see ya!!! FOH

So easy, don’t have to go to the bank to pay my rent wooooop

The easiest, non intrusive way to send and receive money.

horrible too use in emergency situations

If you have any problems don't expect to get any help from this app. We lost $180 using this app.

I really love Venmo!

Easy. Fast. Convenient.

Very convenient. It has saved me several times already.

This is an acceptable means by which to pay individuals whom you are indebted to.

I don’t like the fact that the app will not allow me to instantly send $800 to my moms account

Does not work with Uber!

Best thing ever invented ❤️❤️❤️

The app always available.

Love Venmo, love the card thing they’re doing now! I wish you guys had a widget like CashApp, though! That way I could check my balance without even opening the app. :)

Group

Love it!!

Never anything easier. This makes dealing with all the technological negatives far more palatable.

Absolutely TRASH!!! Let’s you receive and send money until you have over 100 in your account THEN they FREEZE your account and REFUSE TO EXPLAIN WHY VENMO SHOULD BE DELETED AND NOT ACCESSIBLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY KEEP YOUR MONEY AND FREEZE YOUR ACCOUNT WHEN YOU TRY TO GET IT OUT

They scam you and take your money

Its a very easy and convenient app but one of the most necessary features on it never works and they never can answer why very annoying!!!

The originator to allow money transfer with no charge. This changed the game. Now no one charges.

No issues 💃🏻

I change phone cause the older one was stolen but is the same number, and when i tried to dowload the app, venmo says that my number is currently used in another device so it wont let me open using my phone numer and somebody send me money and now i cant acces it and i have the email thats says that i receive the money Somebody please help

One of the easiest payment applications of used by far

Venmo is soooo easy to use and is so convenient. Paying and charging someone is the easiest it’s ever been. You are charged immediately when you pay someone and are paid within such a short amount of time when you transfer money to your bank. Venmo works on all banks and the app is available for all smart phones. Now you can even have a Venmo debit card. Venmo continues to amaze me. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

I had too pay a friend some money and she is using Venmo. I won’t be seeing her in a while and she is traveling so Venmo seemed to be most convenient. I downloaded the app and followed the set up procedures as appropriate but when I tried to add a bank account, I got an error message. First message was that my bank account was already in use by someone else. I tried again and got another error message saying my account was frozen. I tried to look into faqs to see how I can resolve but the guide there says I should get an email with instructions to unfreeze but I have been refreshing my inbox and did not get an email. Now I don’t even want to use Venmo anymore and don’t know how I can deactivate it. Useless useless!

Every time I try to contact Venmo, I get an apology instead of even the slightest attempt to try and resolve my issue. My issue is that according to my bank, Venmo has not tried to take out a small amount of money to verify my account. I have checked the information I have submitted and it is correct, Venmo just hasn’t done their part. Now, I have $400 floating around Venmo instead of in my bank account so I can make payments. I will be deleting this app as soon as I get my money.

I recently requested 2K from trusted account it’s taking more than 2 days your system is too slow!!! It defeats the purpose of using your service Will not use venmo again unless i can use instantly transfer

Your connectivity issues with Wells Fargo have cost me considerable time and aggravation trying to make a simple transfer. I could have walked over to the person‘s house faster than it is taken me to make a payment through your messed up system

The Venmo app told me re-link my Wells Fargo account. When I try to do it it NEVER goes through and the s***** loading wheel keeps spinning forever. I’ve tried this several times with the same frustrating results. I’ve called Wells Fargo and everything in my account is fine but seems like the Venmo app is not even trying to proceed with the process after I complete all the steps. HORRIBLE and about to delete the Venmo app to go back to Pay Pal! ZERO STARS

Great app

I love the convenience of being able to pay someone or have someone pay me quickly without having cash on hand! What a great idea!

You should make it where I can request a friend the same amount of $ on the same date every month.

Excellent and easy to use. Thank you

I love it. It’s flexible and I have an option to make transactions private.

Venmo deactivated my account because someone paid me using the app and then reported the payments as fraud and had them refunded, which I was unaware of.

My kid’s music instructor uses this app for payment. Can you tell me why you put peoples money moves on blast? Who paid who? Really? My purchases better not show up up. I went through settings and fixed everything I could. I have too many stalkers and nebby people in my business as it is. Lil, unnerving ya know?

So convenient and easy to use!!

Declined all three of my debit cards an when I asked for a reason they said they weren’t allowed to give me that information

Google Pay doesn’t charge you to know your financial goings ons.

Easy to use. Saves fees

I find this ap really easy to use.

Matt and Austin were excellent at communicating schedule. They also showed great consideration for protecting my furnishings and home. This is the second time using Clutter Collectors. I highly recommend them for any project requiring moving heavy furniture. Thanks Devin.

I use Venmo to pay rent, but it “disconnects from my bank” EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to send a payment. Freaking garbage app I hate the s***** emojis

I HATE that: - Transactions are public by default - Venmo requires me to write a description (memo).

I have used Venmo for some small transactions, and it was great. I thought this would also be great for work payments. Wow, was I ever wrong. First they have a $2000 per day cap, so basically the same as many bank apps. They also do not guarantee instant transfers, so if you need the money this is the wrong app. The also do not guarantee any transfers for that matter. So it’s a great app if you can afford to wait, or possibly not get your money

Most efficient app ever

Just so everyone knows your money is not safe using Venmo. They can’t refund you if you have been scammed. i will be deleting my Venmo account once I am done figuring this situation out.

You can be easily scammed and there is no way to reverse or cancel a payment.

Why just send money, when you can send money and let everyone know about it! Nuff said

Poor directions on how to use this App,very poor

You show people how to get money from their Venom account but not how to pay a person back!!

Inconvenient

I tried to make a simple transfer to my mom for rent but she couldn’t accept the money at all. We tried to call customer support but were left on hold for hours. She gave up and sent the money back to me and now I have to wait 3 days to get my money back

Great

I’ve sent three payments and they aren’t going through. What can I do?

This is a tool. Not a social network.

It’s convenient, but you’ve always need too read fine print * as with all apps , always a catch or cost!!

Once set up, this is a great app to keep track of what I owe and what ppl owe me. Money transfers securely and I'm always asking my friends if they Venmo! No complaints and definitely recommended!

🤬

I’m military and I can’t enter my number because I’m overseas.. wish it took UK numbers.

Super easy and convenient but most of all secure. Love it

Very unfriendly tool for making payments. Won’t allow payments to be made, and representative from company says it’s something internal in the software. Unacceptable

Not satisfied.

No way to pay for anything and no way to transfer. Apple Pay and pay pal are 100% better.

Love it!!

Bank transfer option asks to provide username and password of my bank account. Really? Not in a hundred years I will give provide that information. Hidden in the app is the option to provide bank routing and account number although it takes longer to set it up. Let’s see if that option works.

Couldn’t receive money for an emergency because they flagged my card and Venmo couldn’t even tell me why . When I tried to use someone else card they denied that one as well.

It really saves time thanks

Worst app I can remember trying to use. Unable to set up debit cards from 3 major banks; only option was to transfer to checking account which took 4 days, instead of the advertised “immediate “ delivery of funds via debit card. Customer service, or lack of, was unable to explain why the debit cards could not be added. I would recommend Zelle as I’ve never had a problem with it and should have stuck with it.

I love Venmo... it’s easy

It’s super easy to use and works great when going out in a group. I recommend it to everyone!

Great way to track paying rent and other things without saving paper and tons of folders.

Couldn’t add a new card inline when attempting to pay. Made me cancel out, navigate to settings menu, add card, then re-start the payment again, deselect new method. Could have saved me 3 minutes and 10 clicks if “+Add new card” option was inline

Poor UX, unintuitive, slow to work through.

Need higher payment limit....very confusing on what is the max amount.

This app is mostly used by scammers.

Venmo has made it so convenient to pay back a friend or lend money. I think this app is awesome!!

I enjoy using Venmo. It’s very useful among my friends & I.

Who carries cash around?! Not me. Such an easy solution. I can take care of payments on the spot and no more IOUs!

It is an ongoing process to remain private and to respect the privacy of my contacts on Venmo. Every time I open this app it asks me to access my contacts. Every time. Every time. Could I please just say no - never?

Best friend to friend payment App I’ve used.

Instant deposit sent me to the Venmo website, but NO WHERE is there the ability to set it up. You talk about it, but where are the actual step by step instructions???? NOT!! USER!! FRIENDLY!!!!

I have had this for 3 months and still can't get $20 transferred to my Wells Fargo checking account.

6 days ago I sent a payment to a friend. They took my money but won’t give it to him because it raised a flag. No one can explain why. (At least not in the department you can reach by phone without emailing an ID.) They also will not cancel the transaction and return my funds to me. So basically they have my cash and won’t return it or give it to the recipient unless I send them a photo ID. They requested the recipient’s ID right away and told him I was supposed to do the same, but they didn’t tell me until almost a week later - all the while I’m looking at my account and not seeing any issues. Meanwhile, I’m also emailing them to find out what is going on and not receiving an answer. I was able to send funds to someone else the next day just fine so there was no apparent issue with my account. It’s a hassle but the things that make this not ok are: 1- They did not notify me of any specific issues. (I received a generic email and was not able to get any other information for 6 days. Still do not have answers - it took them 6 days to tell me they need a copy of my ID in order to start the process. And no one can even tell me why.) 2- They have my funds, but will not cancel or complete the transaction without me sending them a photo ID. They have my funds held hostage. (That’s really the biggest issue) 3- No one can tell me why this is happening because the department that handles these things only operates via email and they will not discuss it with me until and unless I send a photo ID. I’m sending my ID, but I’m filing a formal complaint with the AG. This cannot be acceptable practice.

This app is not user friendly which is the most important thing an app can be.

Flow and go ✌️❤️🙏

Easy, reliable. Useful for friend outings.

Way too many hoops to jump through just for one transaction. Then it takes days to receive the money.

Ruined the app. Zero stars if it could be possible, I should be sent a check for the wasted time.

In the next update it would be an added feature to be able to pay yourself between accounts.

Why on earth would I want a transaction made public?

So so easy to use and makes life easy

I just love this app is an easy way to receive payment and send money! Highly recommended 😊

PayPal is way easier! I can’t even add my bank account because my husband has the same account instead I had to add my debit card which charged me a fee

Love this app! Makes life so easy!!

So very easy to use.

Love this service!!

Excellent

So unintuitive and cumbersome. Prefer PayPal.

I love Venmo for me and friends, but have had to deal with quite the headache recently when sending money to a new user. The process that Venmo has in place for sending money to non users just doesn’t make sense and leaves you without money for a long period of time. Day 0 - sent money to person using their contact info in my phone. This was something Venmo offered with ease. Day 0 - money is taken from my bank account immediately Day 0 - recipient gets notification of money and asked to set up account. Moments later, my payment was voided because the recipient doesn’t have Venmo. Well why in the world did u let me send it in the first place? Well, here is what has since gone down: - the recipient was instructed to keep setting up the account even though Venmo voided the money. - the payment was cancelled but the money is not back to my bank yet (nearly 10 days later) Venmo only instructs me to contact my bank to inquire. Yes, I will contact my bank but the whole process is flawed with Venmo. WHY let people send to contacts who aren’t Venmo users if you are going to automatically void the payment? WHY take my money from my bank if you are going to void it? WHY do both of the above at all and leave me without thousands of dollars for over a week and counting? Overall just a poorly created process and has completely turned the new user I invited to join off on the system.

Great

Easy to use

It drives me crazy that approximately every minute, the UI freezes for 5-7 seconds and you can’t interact with anything. I’m an iOS developer myself, and my suspicion is that y’all are doing some kind of background data processing or downloading on the main thread. This has been happening for many versions of the app, and makes for a terrible user experience. I suggest you guys prioritize fixing this ASAP.

Awesome as ever

Love how easy it is to setup and use. Never had a problem with receiving or sending money. I do wish they could offer more than 1 extra notification, but other than that it’s a great app.

Love it!!

I love Venmo John

Very very easy to use. Fast!!

Waste of time. Waste of space on your phone. Waste of an app. 100% do not download. Someone sent me money so I tried to send the money to my bank and it wouldn’t work so I contacted customer support and all they said was that they’re system is declining the transfer and they don’t know why and they can’t override it or do anything about it so now I’m stuck with money in venmo and no way to get it out.

Makes paying your friends back super quick and convenient so they can’t make any excuses about not paying you back in time! Thanks Venmo!

I’ve never had any problems with Venmo until recently. In the past month, twice they have “lost connection” with my bank, and their only solution is to delete and re-download the app, then re-connect my bank. It’s annoying at worst, but still a bug that needs to be fixed.

Every couple of weeks venmo loses connection to my bank. I have to delete my bank, and add it again. It’s a huge pain, and not very convenient. There are many ways to transfer money to people instantly now, Venmo needs to fix this, or be replaced. Ps, why do I have to leave a note EVERY time I transfer money?

This app is so bad (just kidding)

Iv used Venmo for a year and have loved it. Me and my friends used it for everything. And I especially loved it for transferring money to my wife for bill management. One day out of no where all of my payments were saying “declined”, I tried sending money to different people, using 3 different bank accounts, all said declined. I contacted them to see how this could be resolved, and they informed me that their security system was triggered, and they could not see why my account transactions are being declined, and they have no way of over riding it or fixing the issue. Their only advise was “just use PayPal”. This is absolutely ridiculous that not only could they not help me, they could not tell me why my account is declined, and they basically said oh well, nothing we can do just stop using our system and use PayPal instead. The worst experience iv ever had with any software EVER.

So easy to use and fast payments received!

Wish it was possible to select to deposit funds into multiple bank accounts from Venmo one account

Why do I need to see the rest of the worlds transactions? I changed my settings to keep my transactions private but not sure at all why seeing everyone else’s is necessary! Horrible! I only use this to send to whoever can’t use another app.

It’s sometimes hard to be sure of the correct recipient.

Easy to set up and easy to use!

Love it! ❣️

Forces emojis for certain words on the notes field while making a payment.

I love that there’s no fees on either end and very easy to use!

Have not heard back from Venmo, it’s been about 2 weeks. Still waiting in line I guess. However I have found another source I am trying and I no longer want venmo card or to be a part of it. Not sure how to go about being removed from this app.

I really like how easy this is to use.

This is a great app

Quick & Simple 👍🏼

At least PayPal will complete my instant transfers.

I have no complaints whatsoever :)

App is not intuitive

Venmo is so convenient and a great app to send and receive money instantly!

The app defaults your transactions to public where everyone on the internet can see them. That’s terrible.

Easy, no hassle to pay small projects !!

I love this service it is so easy my kids need help sometimes they’re paid within minutes and then they can just as easily paid me back.

Great app to pay and person to person

Needs work.

Best way to move cash. No fees and record keeping is great. Trust it.

Simple to invoice my parents and it’s free to receive payment!!!

It really makes it easy to conduct transactions.

So easy to send and receive money, and it’s free! Love it!

I dislike that I am constantly shown other people’s transaction whom I barely know (often random FB acquaintances). I am aware you can change your privacy setting, which I have done, however I would like the option to not be shown the transactions of others. I find it creepy and inappropriate. Venmo, please do something about this.

Every month Venmo tells me it can’t communicate with my bank so I have to delete and add my bank every month!!

So easy to use and CONVENIENT!

Very difficult to figure out all their rules

👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

best company i’d say to transfer money with

This is a great concept, so glad you started this!

Can’t pay people using my Venmo. The customer service couldn’t figure out why and said sorry we can’t help you. I have the funds but I am unable to pay out.

Would prefer a private setting in notes as well. Other then that love it.

Way too easy for my kids to get more money from me!

Quite lame that my wife and I can’t have our Venmos linked to same bank account

Can be slow sometimes

Why advertise instant transfer if it doesn’t work and customer service cannot give any reason as to why? I was also told that my funds “may disappear from my account or be blocked/removed” if I try doing a 1-3 day standard transfer 🤦🏻‍♀️

By far the best thing that happened to technology. It’s just so simple to use and so convenient to use!!!

Great app!!

Frozen for nothing, now my money is stuck and they won’t give it back

Terrible experience

Easiest way to get or pay money. Love it!

No one who works for this company does anything helpful for anyone. Try getting help with your account or getting a response from anyone who works there. A COMPANY WHO MANAGES MONEY SHOULD HAVE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I don’t like this app, it’s too easy to send money to wrong person and not as easy to reverse payment or receive money back.

Makes traveling in a group so easy!! Love it!!

I mistakenly gave someone money and had no one to talk to. Thank goodness the person was decent and sent the money back. They really need a service for the weekend.

Hams

Customer service agent isn’t helpful and is confused. Saved chat conversation where she mentioned our “only” option is to use bank transfer which may take up to four days. So much for the “instant transfer” millennial PayPal solution when customer-facing agents fail to deliver brand promise.

I can send my kids money it is especially when they were younger college like my daughter and we had emergency situations! I think this company is great and I refer everyone I know to you! Thanks again for giving me the opportunity and availability to help my kids who are living away from me! ❤️🙏❤️

I think the verify method is ridiculous...just send a new verification... how the he’ll am I to know the amount you sent over a year ago

This is the most helpful sight for families and business!

Revolutionary

Doesn’t interact with PayPal but is run by PayPal. Makes no sense.

I haven’t been able to use this to pay on Seamless

Making payments had never been so easy. The social aspect adds altogether new dynamics to the p2p payments. Payments are fun now!

I like Venmo and want to give it 5 stars but really need the option to top up Venmo account and card with your own credit or debit card instead of having to WAIT to receive monies from someone and add money that way. Square Cash lets you upload money to your balance from a funding source. 😡

It’s convenient

Their “instant” bank validation to link you bank to the app is AWFUL!!! You are required to call the bank to get a special code which I had to wait over TEN minutes for when my call was disconnected. Needless to say, their new system is absolutely worse!!!!

Not the best, but It's fine I guess

New to me....I am OLD ..... find it easy to send grandkids spending money.

Not sure what purpose it serves to be able to see what others are doing. I have everything set to private, but still got to see that my niece paid for my nephew’s lunch. Creepy.

Everyone I know, please get a Venmo account! 🙏

This is quick, direct, gets straight to the point. It does the job in a satisfactory manner. It’s made transferring money to my son very easy to help him pay for his bills while in graduate school.

Venmo is great and very convenient I just wish the deposits were instant other than that it’s great

I was sent $350 and when I transferred it to my account it said it was unable to process. So now my money it trapped in the s***** app. They suggest I transfer it to my checking account and wait 3 business day?!! Garbage company. So unhappy right now

Easy and very convenient way to pay friends and family

Venmo is awesome! Best app ever!

❤️ it so convenient!

Fee a little high but fair for convenience.

Very user friendly and quick!

I wish I had the option to leave zero stars because I would have. I had this service a week before they cancelled because they stated I violated some user agreement. I spoke with an Edward B. Via email who would never tell me what I did to violate this user agreement. They have also kept my friends $450.xx which they said was under investigation for 180 days. My friend has switched to Chime Bank who is an online only bank. She never got a debit card so on her payday she had no way to get her funds. She stated after speaking with Chime her only option was Venmo. So we both setup accounts and she sent money through with no problem on the first day. We did an instant xfer and it went through in minutes. She thought her debit card would be in the mail the next day and it wasn’t so she sent more money to me but this time the instant xfer didn’t work. Called Venmo they told me to try a few things but they also failed so then they stated to try a standard xfer. We did they on Tuesday, Thursday the emailed me and said my account was froze and Friday they said it was permanently deactivated. No one could give me a legitimate reason as to why. My friend and I are two federally cleared employees who have no reason for illegal activity. This was simply one friend helping another. Now Venmo won’t give her the money back.

Love the easy way to pay !

Every month it tells me it “lost connection with my bank” and I have to remove and add my bank again. Pretty frustrating

App is trash

Had to go through and reconnect three times for it to actually work a little bit annoying.

It’s convenient, easy and affordable for everything

Venmo is a super convenient way to pay! Thank You!

Reliable!!

The b*** plugs were really great but it made pooping hard. Dad enjoyed them lots and I got to pay my best friend back for them! 10/10 would recommend.

I really wish Venmo didn’t catch on like it did. Square Cash was far better. Not having the ability to have a shared bank account shows a severe lack of foresight. You’re too big now to think so small.

I love. Venmo 🤩

Keep it up!

Greatest app ever developed.

Good for transfer money.

Zelle is less evil than PayPall which owns Venmo. And it happens instantly without needing to transfer to your bank.

So nice this app lets u comment on transactions

Won’t let me transfer my money to my bank account

I am upset that a routine transfer to my sister (with whom I have a long transaction history) was rejected for being illegal, because it was for food she purchased from an Syrian bakery. Would it have been rejected if it was from another ethnic food place, or if I said it was for “boats and hoes” or something equally ridiculous like I see all the time on this app? She picked up my food order for me and I was repaying her. As a third generation Syrian American, I’m disgusted by this decision and this overall practice to blacklist anything with the word Syrian in it, even after I elaborated on the transaction as asked. Was I supposed to submit the receipt? A photo of the food? Shame on you for disguising your prejudice behind financial regulations.

Great app but it takes 1000 years to load. I mean, my god.

Flawless use

Cool

Got my money instantly! My daughter was able to pay her rent, groceries and phone immediately. We didn’t have to wait for her to go to the bank and then deposit. Just DONE. Thanks

Venmo is awesome! Easy to use and very fast!

Venmo is fun & uncomplicated. Simple to use for anyone. Great for work to pitch in for a potluck. Perfect for splitting a bill with friends.

Awesome

I can NEVER transfer money outve my Venmo. I’ve been able to do it only one time. And even then it took almost 2 weeks.

I love this Venmo app ,sending and receiving money has never been so easy. Also love that I can have full control of who see’s my transactions . Thank you Venmo Great!

A quick way to negotiate in technology times.

Like it

Love it

I like that

I use this app a ton and im a huge fan. One thing that enraged me though is that they’ll sometimes keep your money hostage when you try to pay someone , adding in layers of verification requirements while possibly collecting interest on the sums held up- they don't notify the sender that the money they sent was unclaimed allowing the sender to choose an alternative payment channel - I learned from a young homeless woman who had a Venmo account who i sent money to for train fare, that they would not allow her to accept what I sent. I consider this to be abusive of their fiduciary role. I want them to fix this and make it easier for people in her situation to access funds to be able to improve their situation or make it clear to the person who sends money that the money never reaches the intended recipient. I would give them fewer stars for this issue, but i find for regular use with established contacts it works well. I wish i had the option to preschedule payments or set regular payments. I also wish that my venmo balance would apply to my payment when the amount exceeds the balance- instead of sitting there!

I need the ability to send/req from the web, and Venmo removes that functionality with no reason given. Switching to square cash.

Don’t be s***** in. I have tried to move my money to three different bank accounts and Venmo says all three refused. They will not let me have my money unless I use it at one of the very few merchants listed with them and I don’t use those merchants. I am sick of Venmo. As soon as I can get my money I will close my account.

Set up doesn’t explain which to use for immediate receipt of payment - bank account or debit card. Tried to chat but rep contradicts her comments. Obviously doesn’t know the answer. Venmo sent an email confirmation but their site wouldn’t accept it.

Please make sure to set your privacy settings as per your satisfaction. The default settings want all your contacts and personal info

This app is coded with countless bugs that make it annoying to use: -false claims to have bank accounts in use so they won’t remove them to be updated -consistent error codes when trying to update personal info -failure to initiate transactions until several attempts are given The list goes on, don’t get me wrong this app can be useful if it WORKS. But often the developers used spaghetti code in the simplest of places.

Very good

So nice to not dig around for cash/change when paying back friends

Unsafe and inconvenient

Loves it.

As a first time landlord with outside of state college renters its a great way to remind them and transfer funds easily.

Great app, only suggestion would be to be able to label your payment methods so you can tell which account you’re sending from a little easier.

It's been great until I started having problems with add a debit card for instant pay.... It keeps saying I can't use my debit card try another and I've tried using 3 already and still the same problem.

I have tried over and over to use Venmo and have basically given up on the project. PayPal, other than the fees, it’s so much easier and in my opinion more intuitive. I keep trying to like Venmo but so far Venmo has been resistant to my charms. Spurned lover.

Best way to exchange money as a family and at the office.

Great

Can’t say enough good things about this App! The new Venmo card is the bomb.com

Your money is not safe

I wont even let me set up my phone number so i cant do anything. Ridiculous.

I love Venmo but I was hoping the app creators can include Guam and the island territories. Which would make it even better. Just a thought

There are no fees! Soooo easy and reliable!

Such a simple fast way to get money to someone. I love how convenient it is.

Stupid app refuses my credit card (and debit card) details for various different cards. Will take bank accounts with no problem...

Cool apps i just finish one transaction. Thanks

I was loving this App and recommending to friends/clients etc. Unfortunately the instant transfer isn’t consistent. That causes a lot of problems for me. Wish it was different. When I chat with support, it’s useless as they cannot solve the issue - rather keep insisting on standard payment. That’s not why I joined this app Considering switching to another site due to the continuing problem. Hope it can be resolved before that

Seriously, instant money transfer is the future. Venmo rocks.

Keep spinning after launch!! Please fix it!!🤬

Had someone who wanted to send me money using Venmo, so I signed up. He could not see me and I could not see him despite us both setting all privacy ratings to “public.” Tried to call for help. Got the standard we value you, stay on hold forever runaround. It’s pathetically useless.

Useful for making and receiving monies; didn’t really like as it has limited amounts one can send

I’m always sending money with Venmo for quick bites to eat with friends or paying for gifts online. Always comes in handy.

Shocked to see Venmo posting my transactions to the internet and imported my contacts without my consent.

This app used to work great. My husband and I mostly use it to transfer money back and forth between our separate bank accounts each with a different bank. It worked great until a few weeks ago, all of a sudden we can’t instant transfer anymore. And there’s no way to cancel or decline a transfer so that the money just goes back into the senders account. It’s very inconvenient which defeats the whole purpose of this app.

This app is amazing and easy to use. Please don’t ruin it.

I have PayPal and its a breeze to use Not sure why this wont take any of my cards as a back up. Nightmare to set up. Still not working

Is good

Use Cash App instead.

Love this app. Easy to use and zero to low transaction fees. A must have.

Easy to send and receive $

Venmo is the most convenient app ever! The addition of the Venmo MasterCard has made it even better!

I paid using “pay by phone number” option ad my payment was placed on hold, marked as unclaimed in notifications. Needless to say it was immediately taken out of my bank account. The recipient did not receive any notifications regarding the pending payment. I was given options to send a reminder to the recipient to claim it (Why reminder when no notifications where sent whatsoever?), or pull the payment. It turns out you first need to find the person by the user name, befriend this person and then send payment to a specific person. My point is - why give the phone number option when it causes such complications and frustration! Why not to give a warning -NOT to use the phone number option if a person has an account on Wenmo. Find a recipient by the user name first, befriend and then make your payment. Something to avoid an upset recipient, double charges, endless text messages exchange, long chats with customer services etc. So unnecessary and frustrating!

5stars

This app is the worst. My poor cleaner has to wait while I go back & forth with security checks. Not worth the bother. I’m writing a check from now on.

they will freeze your account after accepting money from someone else and your money is stuck in la la land trying to get back what’s rightfully yours

I love how quick and easy it is to use! :)

Venmo has been extremely frustrating to set up. When I try to connect it to my checking account, it replies “Account already in use by another Venmo user.” My wife gets the same message on her Venmo App.

I was unfortunately scammed through Venmo. I found out later that there isn’t a policy to protect users from being scammed. After reaching out to customer service about the user, they said that they had deactivated his/her account. This was completely FALSE. I had at least two other people comment and say that they had been scammed as well. Why would you continue to let the same person use the SAME username and account when multiple people have reported this user as a fraudster?

👊🏽🤟🏽

Use this product

Very convenient!

It serves it's function largely, but I have two main issues. The first one it's that I can't transfer my money to my bank on the app itself—I have to go through the browser website. This is because if I don't have a full-dollar balance, it removes the period when I pull up the transfer screen. So a $10.50 balance shows up as $1050. I obviously can't transfer this because it's more than I have. I can't manually add the period because it replaces the keyboard and the only punctuation is a comma. It doesn't let you switch keyboards, and I've tried deactivating my alternate keyboards to no avail. It's extremely frustrating. The second complaint is the weird social aspect to it. The purchases of the world are front and center, but your own contact list is hard to find. Why on Earth do I care what other people are buying? Why do I care what my other friends are buying? It feels like an invasion of privacy and just takes up functionality. Honestly this aspect irks me so much that I avoid getting on the app unless absolutely necessary so I'm not assaulted with everyone else's stuff.

This app has given birth to scammers all over.

I am having a serious issue opening the app. Everytime I open the app, it shows a prompt for transferring money to my bank account. This prompt will NOT go away and I’ve tried everything to delete it. PLEASE HELP. Please fix this bug. I cannot use the app otherwise.

I like the simplicity and ease of use that this app provides me with.

Getting more difficult to use over time.

Best way to do biz

Just got this app - super easy and convenient.

OKAY! They froze my NEW account, dont let me instantly transfer funds, AND DONT LET ME ADD MY BANK ACCOUNT. Im very mad and when I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY SAID THEY CAN’T FIX IT! Horrible experience overall

Has a 4 card limit of adding and deleting cards for a 6 month period

Makes dividing stuff among friends way easier

Better than others.

An excellent app for paying and receiving. Fast, reliable , and if you go straight thru your bank account—free! Even if you go to a card, the fees are so minimal, it makes it worth it.

I pay for all my illicit drugs with this app!! Thanks Venmo!!

Found out I had a my bank account linked to some unknown account on Venmo. When I contacted support they pushed me to email. They took days between responses and in the end simply rejected the claim that it was my account (on the theory that it was already linked to another account) without asking for my identification or any proof of my ownership of that account. This apps support team is terrible!!

It’s 2018....why can’t we add a picture to the request, like a screen shot of a shared bill.

I’ve used Venmo a few times mostly to send money, and when I received money Venmo claimed there was a flag raised on my account. I called and they told me they could not tell me why, apparently it’s against their policy, so they withhold money without probable cause and can’t override it manually. Now I have 400$ sitting in the account and I need the money now, but they can’t come up with a solution for it, and still can’t tell me why. So i rate Venmo no stars. It’s unreliable, untrustworthy, and all together a bad gamble unless you want to lose money.

What’s the point if the most you can send instantly is like $50🙄🙄🙄...blocked my instant transfer from sis now I can’t pay my bill

Nothing to work

Now with the new Venmo card! I love Venmo even more. All I have to say is CONVENIENT! ❤️👍🏼 highly recommended!

I’m loving the conscience of using Venmo, it’s great... 👍🏼

Best thing since sliced bread!

Affordable luscious hair and Smokey lashes.. will definitely order again and recommend friends and family.

I appreciate how easy it is to pay people (professional or not). I do not like the auto setting that shares with the world who I am paying. I recommend Venmo have people opt in to that feature vs opt out. I guarantee you if more people understood that when I log in I can see who they are giving money to and why, they would be VERY displeased. Fix this, Venmo and you get 5 stars.

Way to go!

Absolutely positively love this 😘😘❤️😍😍😍

Not letting me log in for some reason

Venmo is terrible, they have no control over what happens to your money....if you accidentally send it to the wrong account they cannot reverse it. Only way to get it back is if the person it was sent to is nice enough to send it back to you. This seems doesn’t seem secure or safe to me. The company should have some control over reversing the fee. What if your account were to get hacked and someone sends themselves money? Why would you not be able to flag it and investigate and get the money back? Unsafe for your money if you ask me.

Essential for anyone in college. Easiest way to pay or receive money from your buddies for anything ranging from pizza to monthly rent. 10/10 app

If you have used it..you know why a star...because there are no - stars

Such a terrific application for friends and family!

Wouldn’t let me pull money out from fantasy baseball league

Venmo finally comes out with an instant transfer feature, but whether it will even work for you from one hour to the next is another question entirely. Venmo will frequently block you from instant transferring your money, even if you’ve successfully used the feature earlier that day with the same exact debit card... apparently they have a very strict but mysterious “internal review” process, so even if you know there is no possible way there could be an issue with the funds whatsoever, they might still block you from the instant feature at random. It could be working one moment, then block you the next hour on the same day. They will not tell you why you were blocked, or what the issue is. They will merely tell you to standard transfer, but if they determine that there is “an issue,” then they can freeze and even remove your funds, which makes me very apprehensive to try standard transfer when it already blocked me from instantly transferring to review some non-existent “issue” that I can’t even dispute because they refuse to tell me what it is. Cash App NEVER does this, it seems to work just fine without blocking people from transferring their own money into their own bank account... most people I know have Cash App already, so there isn’t even any reason to use Venmo anymore at all.

My account got frozen for no reason

The boa pay method is keeping loading without any result. Trash!

Q&A not helpful

Why would anyone want purchases to be public. What a time to be alive

So so convenient 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Love this!!! So easy to pay friends and family. Quickly gets transfers to the bank! Love it!

This app is the best invention ever. No need to look elsewhere!

It worked well for half a year and then stopped accepting my card even though it was exactly the same one as before. Customer service does nothing.

All of a sudden it declined me instantly depositing me money I’ve only received money once and the 2nd time I used it it declines! Smdh

What did I do before Venmo.. This app has become my best friend, not only for receiving money but sending as well!

I love how quick and easy it is to send and receive money!!

The spirit of this great little company has been crushed since the PayPal acquisition. Aggressive reviews of all transactions. Aggressive pushing of credit card offers. Venmo has been great for years but the corporatization of this company means more suffering for end users. I feel my days using this app are numbered: thank God there’s plenty of other options in the payment space these days. Old Venmo was the best.

Awesome luv it

For the last couple years, I’ve been facing a freezing problem when I first open the app. I know I’m not the only one, so I’m surprised this hasn’t been addressed yet. Once a new update comes out removing this bug, I’ll review this app differently.

If you need the money the same day, don’t use this. Their “instant transfer” is literally the most useless feature. It won’t be instant at all.

Not bad, first timer and prob gonna use it again, deff spread the word

I sent money and the next day my account was frozen and deactivated for misuse and not following the user agreement. I still had money in the account and no one has emailed me saying where the money in the account went.

Just wish the money transfer was quicker... sometimes it takes up to 5 days for a Venmo payment to come out of your account 👎🏼
