App in general is great. But there is one bug that is driving me crazy. If you want to transfer money to your bank account it is nearly impossible to choose the correct amount. At the top u change the amount to 100€ but the transfer button at bottom shows 10€. You type in 180 and it goes to 18.80€ it makes no sense. I even tried 1€ and it suddenly shows 100€. This bug persists for pretty long now... Like 5 months, please fix it. I am using a pixel 8 pro.

Only complaint is the check cashing feature, the 5% fee for instant transfer is insane and the 10 day wait for a free transfer is unnecessary, there's almost no reason to use that service over any other. It is also weird that there's no direct way to transfer to/from venmo despite being owned by the same parent company. Otherwise, Paypal is solid for its main purpose. I've never had any issue with the crypto feature and I like the debit card. The ability to manage Subscriptions is nice too.

The app constantly crashes, cannot use it at all on S24 Ultra, latest update. As soon as you log in, it crashes, the system also now placed it into a deep sleep because its constantly crashing. I also emailed support and had no replies back, I can only log in via browser. The 1 star is based on my experience with it, which is - cannot do anything with the app, so had to be removed as no support is provided either. Edit: App was updated to work on latest Samsung also, works great now
