  6. [R4] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Worst phone company: They are only good when getting a new phone, paying your bill is not simple. Website is only geared to sell not to maintain. Delinquent with my refund that was over payed Not worth the stress and money, run from this company!
  7. [R5] Boost Mobile 5/5 · US App: Boost mobile app is easy to use and convenient
  8. [R6] Boost Mobile 3/5 · US Boost hasn’t been working the best: Boost has been a great app until recently when I’ve tried to pay phone bills and nothing would work which lead me to go to my local boost to pay in person. The app hasn’t worked the best for me and lead me to get my phone line suspended due to not paying but it’s not my fault nothing would happen when I tried to pay
  9. [R10] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Payment: My payment date was on the 10th of every month, last month I paid on June 9, 2026 and this month the service was interrupted on July 8, 2026. It seems that you are stealing days from every month, and the same is true with the penalty payment ($5).
  10. [R15] Boost Mobile 3/5 · US Somewhat Affordable Wireless!: Boost isn’t cheap but it’s not as expensive as those other giant wireless phone companies. Never had a problem with their service so I’m happy!
  11. [R20] Boost Mobile 5/5 · US ???: A gentleman called me wanting to give me the opportunity of a free phone and bill for 12 months when I told him he’d have to call me back. He just kept talking and talking so I had to hang up. After that, there was a five dollar charge on my bank from boost for no reason at all. Mad.
  12. [R31] Boost Mobile 5/5 · US I love boost mobile: There a great service provider with affordable monthly plans.
  13. [R7] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US This company is a scam: I just paid my bill and not even 3 days later I get a message saying that I used all my data. The guy Jose that works at the Howard store has been ignoring my questions about the services given. This company NEEDS to meet their customers needs and stop being so selective with who they help and be two-faced when conducting business.
  14. [R13] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Disappointed: Stealing from veterans then accusing them of doing it . Talking disgusting to veterans. Lying about being a manager! The list can go on . This company is a joke
  15. [R32] Boost Mobile 2/5 · US Not ideal: I’m not dragging this out long I’m just going to say this…privacy, transparency, accountability, service and trust? Absolutely negative for me. This isn’t a minor one time issue, it’s on the regular and I’m fed all the way up. The app? This never displays my bill the way they say that it’s supposed to. I call and they say one thing and I reassure them that my comprehension and reading s
  16. [R26] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Bad service: The data is so slow, my account has several charges that I didn’t make. I just paid my bill yet it still says “service suspended, please pay.”. Supposed to have unlimited data, but they cap that at 10gigs, like come on.. switching to something reliable
  17. [R36] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Boost customer: As a Boost Mobile customer, I feel I was misled about the quality of its 5G service and “unlimited” data. I have been testing Boost Mobile and T-Mobile side by side using the same phone in the same locations around Lowell, Massachusetts. The difference has been significant. Boost often provides only one bar of 5G service, while T-Mobile consistently shows a full-strength 5G UC sig
  18. [R44] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Boost service: This is absolutely the worst company I’ve ever had service through! I do not recommend using them. They changed my account to postpaid when I added my watch to my phone number resulting in unauthorized charges. I canceled automatic payment and boost took it soon themselves to re-add my bank account information and charged my account after I canceled automatic payments, stating “thei
  19. [R16] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Revie: Ever time I have to pay my bill I have to update my app every month
  20. [R24] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US Too many UPDATES: I gave 1 star because every single month when I’m ready to pay, there’s always an update! It’s too much of a hassle. I really like the service, it’s unbeatable. The updates are a headache when all I’m trying to do is make a simple payment😩
  21. [R25] Boost Mobile 5/5 · US Brenbren: This app is very good for me because I can easily pay my phone bill with this app and see it was pay on time exactly and I’m happy knowing it’s done paid perfectly and it’s a great experience for me keep this app working good for others to be able to pay there’s bill as well thank you guys very much for this app you have a good day and God blessed you all
  22. [R66] Temu 3/5 · US temu review: temu be scamming . temu say you can get free gift and make you buy things just for the free gift. and you still might not get the free gift.
  23. [R75] Temu 3/5 · US Bruh: Bruh!!!! I have been shopping here and it’s the WORST experience there are ugly woman boy suits that show your stuff and everything that they say is FREE isn’t FREE
  24. [R79] Temu 1/5 · US Free gift not true: I try the free gift and invited a lot of people but still not enough.. it says that the energy is not enough. So how Many people should you invite.🤦‍♀️
  25. [R81] Temu 3/5 · US Rating: Slow shipping. I hate the little promos. Always says free items, 100% off and it never happens. Always have to spend more money to get nothing. I have gotten a lot of good things and bad things but the promos drive me crazy.
  26. [R22] Boost Mobile 1/5 · US AWFULL!!: This is actually the worst service I've had. I don't care about about high speed, but I do need to be able to use the apps that make a living for me when the high speed runs out. Boost can't do that, the data is so slow that the apps won't even completely load. I can't work since they don't load. I paid for three months up front, but I'm actually switching BEFORE then and cutting my loss
