There is always something wrong with the app, especially when I need it for emergencies or on the go. Constantly tells me there are some notifications with the badges on the icon, but it doesn’t show where it is, no help at all.
Stay away from this app, and keep your money away from CashApp.
★★★★ *RiseAgainst* 5/8/2026 v5.50
They will keep your money
Terrible customer service, they don’t give you the ability to explain anything or work with you. They are literally keeping the money I have in my account and will not find a solution to help me withdraw it.

It’s been going down hill
My main issue right now is that it won’t let me cash a check, which is dumb. Not to mention the whole green status thing is just stupid.
★★★★ Pindurez 5/7/2026 v5.50
Terrible
I’ve been using Cash App for years and always trusted it with transactions but the one time im trying to contact them because there is charges on my account that I have not made and im trying to see how someone even got my information there support is just a bot that keeps saying enter a dispute that i can’t enter because the transaction wasn’t completed so it eventually charged me for something i didn’t pay for
★★★★ nekyia ears tacos 5/7/2026 v5.50
They will deactivate your account for no reason
I submitted a appeal and it said I violated the guidelines, and I am unable to make transactions with family and friends anymore. I’ve never done anything “suspicious”

iPhone 7
Please I use an iPhone 7 and I can’t get a new phone soon please can I get a way to access my cash app please
★★★★ Stoleyadad 5/7/2026 v5.50
Sucks
I’m 26 and they locked me out of everything
★★★★ viamari 5/7/2026 v5.50
Stealing like I don’t know you did
Cash App smooth stole $72.34 out my account and tried to tell me optimum made that payment attempt multiple times. Then they thought I wasn’t going to contact them regarding my bill. Then refused to refund what they stole from me. Will be closing my account soon
★★★★ Jenn0071Jenn 5/7/2026 v5.50
Changes
I had Cash App for many years. Close to 10. No initial issues. Then all of a sudden when I was trying to send money I was informed that I had to verify my account. After sending pictures of my DL, confirming face, SSN I was still told that I was not verified. I will no longer using if I have to jump through hoops just to verify. You would think showing your drivers license would be sufficient.
★★★★ CinnomonRollQueen 5/7/2026 v4.78
Older iPhones can’t use the app
If you have an older model iPhone you are locked out of your cash app and can’t access your own money or account. This is ridiculous. So now someone will be forced to to spend hundreds of dollars on a new phone and then what about the money in the account. I just got a new job and can’t receive emails because I can’t pay for my phone storage without my CASHAPP!!!!
★★★★ VIP💯 5/7/2026 v5.50
Allows fraud
Ban
★★★★ ichiban onna 5/6/2026 v5.50
(UPDATE) still An absolute scam of an app
Update* even after messaging customer service and calling to follow up for an appeal there has been absolutely no answer or follow up, very disappointed in poor customer service and lack of communication.
I tried to use my card to pay for deposit on business trip stay and my account got flagged. I called to verify that it’s me who made the transaction and yet all the customer service rep can do is tell me that my account has been closed because it violates “terms of service” they never mentioned what specific term just terms of surface as an excuse. To make matters worse, it’s not fully closed like not visible. They say I can withdraw money from it, but I cannot use it because it’s closed. It sounds like a complete scam. They still have my data. They still have an account on file with my information but claim it’s closed. I have been trying my best to appeal the decision to at least reopen it, but I have been given the runaround over and over again. Please read over reviews, especially the critical ones. It’s not all good in Cash App. If you value your money and business, do not use Cash app.
★★★★ Unholyblackman 5/6/2026 v5.50
Account
I had my account banned multiple times for ‘fraud’ when I was using my money for everyday things and sending friends money. I even tried to appeal the ban but it got denied. All I needed to do was get the app updated. Stupid reason to get your account banned multiple times. Do something about it because I do trust you guys anymore
★★★★ Mosthateed333 5/6/2026 v5.50
WORST APP EVER!!!
Theyyy steal your account an information a they a whole fraud they support recording my contacts and conversations am they wants information nope dont trust cashapp worst place to put your money they money hungry a workers be broke !
★★★★ Audioscience 5/6/2026 v5.50
Not safe, hacked
The account I have had for years got hacked the other day, the hacker added a card and took my entire available borrow balance. I am completely locked out of my account. I have already contacted customer support and they just sent me an email saying there was no foul play on my account and that I borrowed the money. Customer support is terrible and online banking is not safe, find a local bank that you can walk into and speak to a person face-to-face if you have issues.
★★★★ Redbluesky 5/6/2026 v5.50
Terrible for taxes
I filed with cash app and experienced problems with both federal and state. Now I’m trying to fix it but their app is broken when i try entering my password. I do not recommend.
★★★★ MynicknameisScout 5/6/2026 v5.50
Transfer
I can’t transfer money from the app to my bank without a debit card
★★★★ Willowsakurq 5/6/2026 v4.78
Unable to use App because I can’t update it
With the updates being available for only IOS 16 and higher, oldee ios devices cant use the app to check their accounts. There should be no reason CashApp needs IOS 16 or higher, it should still work if you don’t have it because I only have an Air 2 and nothing else.
★★★★ Eagle1392 5/6/2026 v5.50
Adding money
Keybank’s MasterCard debit card card continues to be declined by CashApp after the bank approved it following a fraud prevention query
★★★★ femboy cracker 5/6/2026 v4.78
money issue
i have iphone 7+ and i have to update my cashapp in order to open cashapp, but i cant even update my phone any further than the ios 15.8.7. i NEED to get my money back.
★★★★ LOB2013 5/5/2026 v5.50
Account gone
I haven’t used my cash app in afew months and I tried to use it today when I clicked on it it made me log in I tried and it said this account doesn’t exist or can’t be recovered
★★★★ 300gs 5/5/2026 v5.50
Support
I was happy with cash app until my account got hacked and my money was stolen. I tried to reach out to support about a refund or dispute but after all the hassle all they could say was that i authorized it or gave someone authorization. Now i’m out of 290$ and their support won’t refund or dispute it. Horrible support.
★★★★ hd hm bfj 5/5/2026 v5.50
Account hacked
My account was accessed while i was sleeping from an unauthorized user. My money that was set to be withdrawn was cancelled and they instantly transferred it to their account and tried to lock me out of my account. Filed a claim with cashapp immediately the next morning and they denied it 2 days later saying I authorized the withdrawal. Useless support does not properly investigate claims. If you r money is stolen you are unlikely to get it back.
★★★★ MrTurboTacos 5/5/2026 v5.50
Fraudulent
I was defrauded and Cash App has refused to work with the law-enforcement or any district attorney regarding the nonstop, fraudulent activity with the bitcoin, taking down pensions, taking out bank accounts without any remorse. I live on a fixed income so when I got defrauded it destroyed every account attached to Cash App. Every account has been drained of all funds and Cash App has done nothing to protect me from this bitcoin defrauding or work with law enforcement. Be careful out there people. I would never recommend such an app or institution for financial gain specially this one. Because there is no protection from total ruin from Cash App.
★★★★ Nbcolll 5/5/2026 v5.50
Bitcoin
I have been on the phone for 4 months trying to sell my bitcoin and I get put off every single day this has to be one of the worst apps I’ve used
★★★★ FordSupreme 5/5/2026 v5.50
Closed account
I’ve had my Cash App account since 2017 it was a great app until I woke up today and found out that my account was closed saying violation of TOS. I haven’t used my Cash App account for anything other than direct deposits & basic transactions. There is no real customer support. No real way to resolve the issue and Cash App has done this to others. Beware leaving to much in your Cash App. Than can and will close your account randomly if their scam algorithm flags you. It’s possible to loose all access to your funds using this app
★★★★ CloudUser0_0 5/5/2026 v5.50
Don’t use for a legal minor account, just use green dot!
App doesn’t let you create a “minor” account. Can’t move money in or out of the account without their permission which defeats the point. Save yourself he headache and use a better company that does what it claims.
★★★★ davidh22! 5/5/2026 v5.50
Overdrawn
Inexplicably I have a negative balance in my account that I didn’t even think was possible.
★★★★ appleman08 5/5/2026 v5.50
Can’t Verify Identity
Was working fine until I got my new debit card. Now the app is saying it can’t verify my identity and it won’t give me access to after pay because of it. Had Cash App for 8 years, not one single time have I ever missed a loan payment.
I suggest you fix this before my lawyer does!
★★★★ Eddy67s 5/5/2026 v5.50
The sponsorship
All these damn most Cash App had made the sponsorship for teens and I assigned in and I was trying to do my dad and then he didn’t let us say that it was. It was an error and cash app you need to freaking fix your thing for your teens. That’s why I have a freaking Chase account now.
★★★★★ Funfuntimmy 5/7/2026 v5.50
Complaint
