Negative

Summary

User feedback for the app is largely negative, although some appreciate its ease of use and the successful implementation of Tap-to-Pay functionality. Many users find the app user-friendly and value its performance, punctual payments, and competitive fees. However, these positives are overshadowed by widespread app instability, with reports of the app crashing on iPad Air m2 and not launching after updates, alongside persistent issues with tax and inventory management (including a bug setting VAT to 24% after an update). Significant dissatisfaction stems from high transaction fees, slow payout speeds, unhelpful customer support, and a frustrating login process, with many users also expressing disappointment over the transition from Zettle to PayPal and the removal of key features like invoicing.
