Amazingly buggy. Be ready to be extremely frustrated while trying to set up this app. For example, when entering your birthday, which you must enter correctly because it will be verified anyway, when scrolling to the correct month, the day changes. When scrolling to the correct year, it keeps repeating other years (say 1970, 1969, 1968, 1970, 1969, 1968, ...). When recording video of your face for authentication, it looks like it's done recording, but it isn't... I'll just stop there.

The app refuses to work. It worked fine for a couple of years, but since the latest OS update, it doesn't work anymore. Just went to an indefinite white screen when I opened the app, so I uninstalled and cleared cache but now the sign in button or any button on the home screen work. I'm essentially locked out from using the app.

Absolute trash. E-transfer deposits were initially instant, then suddenly when I needed the cash right away the cash didn't appear in my account. It was sent the exact same way as I did numerous times before so I know for a fact it's not a bank issue. No email confirmation from shakepay, no explanation, no customer service, just darkness. If you want instant service and response time then Shakepay is NOT the place to go. Try a more reliable service that doesn't keep you in the dark.
