While the virtual card service is new and glitches are expected, it is not OK to make the process of recovering lost funds a hassle to the customer. If you use the card on ride hailing apps and the ride is cancelled for whatever reason, the payment is not automatically reversed. The follow up process involves filling in a dispute form which asks for details like name, phone no., card number etc. (all of which you already have and which are painfully slow to retrieve and fill in).

Worst app ever. Thunes was working perfectly before you guys decided to interfere. My PayPal account mysteriously dissappeared from the app and prompted me to link it again. Tried to do that ever since but it's been saying the account is already linked... Where????? Really frustrating experience and I've been taken in circles by customer care who are clueless even what the issue is.

It's a really buggy app. Hakikisha sometimes trips up when the app stalls. Other times the app asks for biometric several times. The app is really slow with too many steps to achieving the intended task of sending or withdrawing money. People use this probably because they have to, not because it's a good app. The app might look great but have horrible user experience

Lovely feature-packed app. Between this and the My Safaricom app, you have all services covered. My only frustration with this app is that there's no way to access the settings or personal profile pages. That should be a straightforward thing for a user to access but i have dug around and can't find it. Sucks when things get so hidden, it chips away at the user experience for me. Please have a settings or personal profile button somewhere easy to find.

I have been using the app for almost a year now, and it has been very easy to operate. However, these past few weeks, the app has stopped working, I've tried opening the app but it doesn't open. I even tried updating it to its newest version, but still nothing is working. please fix that.

I tried putting in my pin & it said an error has occurred. I cleared cache & data & I get the same error when verifying my number with mobile data. It asks me to switch to offline mode & sends a text, then fails with the same error. I left the beta program & reinstalled the stable version but the error is still there.
