[R13] MobileRecharge 1/5 · US Please Do Not Use I Repeat: I tried to recharge a friends phone and she didn’t receive the airtime and I tried to login and check the app I was logged out and I have been debited for the transaction. Each time I tried to login it says login failed….Kindly return my money because I was unable to login into the app after making purchased
  6. [R17] MobileRecharge 1/5 · US r: when I start sending recharge like 2/3 times was successfully receive it then start saying you’re recharge is failed when it’s saying failed. They’re still take money from my account and my family members did not received a recharge. This has to be fixed it. know I can’t send it. Keep saying failed failed..
  7. [R27] MobileRecharge 1/5 · US Not good enough: They charge me and the app saying failed how possible is that you need to fix ur app first this is not my first time happened
  8. [R1] MobileRecharge 1/5 · US Unusable: I recharge a number every month; and it takes A FULL HALF HOUR every time. You need to go through about 40-50 menu option to recharge THE SAME NUMBER. (I’m searching for alternatives today!)
  9. [R11] MobileRecharge 5/5 · US It really Good App: But expensive Money currency
  10. [R12] MobileRecharge 3/5 · US Great Service but getting expensive: This has been a great service over the years. However the minimum recharge amounts have gone up and the processing fees are getting expensive. The service should have smaller recharge amounts and think about finding ways to reduce their processing fees.
  11. [R15] MobileRecharge 1/5 · US Made a account: I made a an account and I sent money and now I can’t log in it says it’s wrong…I received an email but then it logged me out and I can’t get back in. If I can’t get back on in the morning I will notify my bank that it is fraud!!!!

  13. [R35] MobileRecharge 1/5 · US No recomendable: Me cobraron el envio de la rechaga y no se envio nada, traté de contactar a servicio al cliente y no responden
  14. [R52] BOSS Revolution 5/5 · US 😻: Muy bueno todo es muy rápido me encanta
  15. [R53] BOSS Revolution 1/5 · US Money grab harassment: The app is on every step defaulting to monthly subscriptions. You are automatically opted in. I have had to cancel subscriptions I was tricked into multiple times. then when you go to cancel they also play tricks to obfuscate the cancellation process. @apple support can do a better review of this behavior.
  16. [R57] BOSS Revolution 2/5 · US Ghanaians don’t use this app: If you send money it is gonna delay and I’m not talking about minutes. It takes hours, sometimes a day, and a series of calls to perform a transaction. And they’re gonna narrate a thousand stories to explain delay and none of it is gonna make any sense. This is by far the worst money transfer app I’ve used
  17. [R62] BOSS Revolution 5/5 · US Excelente: La mejor App de envíos a RD y al mundo.
  18. [R66] Rebtel 5/5 · US J: Great in price
  19. [R67] Rebtel 3/5 · US Buena pero tiene sus problemas: La verdad la aplicación es muy buena, y comparada con otras, es económica, qué problema veo, que hay días que se traba y no salen llamadas, el saldo no se refleja algunas veces bien sino que sale 0$ teniendo saldo, y hay países que de plano no salen llamadas como es El Salvador. Trabajo con la aplicación y algunas veces me ha tocado recurrir a otras aplicaciones
  20. [R69] Rebtel 5/5 · US Siempre uso esta Aplicación y funciona perfecto: Funciona muy bien
  21. [R70] Rebtel 3/5 · US The sound quality was fine until it simply cut off. I: Although I am happy with the rates, every call I have made to date has abruptly cut off. This waste immense time and cost extra money.
  22. [R80] Ding Top-up 5/5 · US Worked as Advertised: Quite truthfully was skeptical. But works abroad without the need to buy a physical load. There is a fee but it’s worth it especially if you don’t have a local number.
  23. [R83] Ding Top-up 5/5 · US Satisfied: Satisfied with their service
  24. [R84] Ding Top-up 3/5 · US EXPENSIVE 💰: The app works great but is expensive to send a load as they give you crappy exchange rates. For example today: Philippines Current exchange rate ₱57.46 = $1.00 So a ₱500 should cost around $8.70 Instead they charge $13.99 That’s a $5.29 difference… or in pesos a ₱303.96 difference. That’s a huge markup. As soon as I find a different way to top off I will no longer use Ding
  25. [R86] Ding Top-up 5/5 · US Satisfied: Ding is a fast and reliable app for sending international mobile top-ups and gift cards and perfect for staying connected with loved ones. The interface is simple, and transactions are always smooth. Highly recommended for hassle-free global recharges!
  26. [R93] Vi: Recharges & Payments 1/5 · US Meaningless app: I have a communications prepaid card meant to pay only telecom providers as per the govt directive. And this app does not support such cards , whereas its website supports payment through such cards. What a waste of time.
  27. [R95] Vi: Recharges & Payments 3/5 · US Comparatively High Rates: The Vodafone has high rates compared to the services offered by other competitive companies for same types of services.
  28. [R97] Vi: Recharges & Payments 4/5 · US Payment by credit cards: Why there’s no option available to pay by credit cards?
  29. [R100] Vi: Recharges & Payments 5/5 · US Finest app with transparent deals: Finest app with consumers content
  30. [R107] Telecel Play (Ghana) 1/5 · US Verification always failing: You made us update this app only to make us unable to send money anymore, how would I take a picture of my own face and you’d tell me verification failed, what is this
  31. [R108] Telecel Play (Ghana) 4/5 · US Issue to be resolved with immediate effect: Currently after the new update we are facing challenges using the Telecel wallet to check account balance or send money. It will prompt an identity verification and keep failing no matter how well you comply with the instructions. This should be kindly resolved with immediate effect for us the Telecel Family, it’s all love
  32. [R110] Telecel Play (Ghana) 1/5 · US PLEASE resolve the verification issues.: It seems the developers do not pay attention to thier reviews. PLEASE work on this verification interface!! It’s frustrating not be able to do anything on this app as smoothly are previously. For the last two weeks my funds have been stuck because of a verification that does not function.
  33. [R113] Telecel Play (Ghana) 1/5 · US Application lagging: The app seems to close itself. Anytime i try to make a transaction it requires face verification,when I try verifying the app closes. I’ve tried updating the app but it still has the same issue
  34. [R64] BOSS Revolution 5/5 · US Mi respeto: Porque es una empresa caracterizada en cumplir con los servicios que ofrece al público en general no viendo quien quiere utilizar el servicio más que cumple con la clientela dejando satisfecho al cliente Es una aplicación excelente para contribuir con la humanidad y así poder solucionar las espectativas de los clientes
  35. [R87] Ding Top-up 2/5 · US txtx: The fees is so high
  36. [R89] Ding Top-up 1/5 · US Expensive: You have to pay 3 times more of what they receive in country you’re sending. Scam app
  37. [R91] Ding Top-up 1/5 · US to much: its taking all my money
  38. [R111] Telecel Play (Ghana) 5/5 · US Telecel App update is trash!!!!!: We cannot send money through the app again ooo tom aaah…network nor good app too sankwas
