Works great as an intersection between western and Asian culture. The in-app translation function works okay. The translation tool could be a bit better and images sometimes don't send/load properly. The notifications are all in Chinese and aren't translated, which is a little frustrating, but otherwise it works well. The simplicity of the bar codes kind of grew on me, though I still prefer my tap-to-pay with physical cards.

absolutely rubbish app. for such an essential app to travel in China, it is filled with glitches. The verification itself was very troublesome. During the capture of the verification photo, the camera is set to go off by itself even though your face is not in the frame. it captured only my forehead, and sent the picture without any options for retaking. now my identity cannot be verified and I am not able to use the app. worse of all, the support and help only speaks Chinese and can't help.

Difficult to get payment card set up. Wouldn't accept my phone number so had to use someone else's secondary number. Occasionally still gives prompts in Chinese, though making payments is mostly in English. Anxiety inducing as you've no idea if it'll work to make payments before you actually get to China. But it worked fine when in the country. First payment took ages as it needed validation from the bank, then others were simpler. Still no way it's any quicker than simply tapping a card.
