Quick and easy payment sent digitally to a friend. So convenient and so quick! And without a fee which was really nice!!! *Edit* I still love PayPal since making my last review. I enjoy sending money to my friends quickly and without fees. The world we live in never comes without fees! Relish this time and this app! 😄 Who knows how long it will stay this way!

app doesn't work anymore. if you try to go to credit, it reloads for about 5 minutes and then says unavailable. this has been going on for weeks. According to PayPal, somehow their app is a bank issue and nothing to do with them. synchrony bank rightfully blames PayPal. seems like both sides know it's a problem but no one has a solution so until it's fixed I don't recommend using PayPal at all. you can't view or pay for your transactions right now.

They did something to mess it up. I suspect they're trying to push PayPal users into new credit cards or debit systems to generate more revenue for PayPal, but actions that used to be simple and straightforward are now unnecessarily complicated. For example transferring my PayPal balance to my bank account used to be very straightforward, but now the setting is buried. I clicked on the wrong thing multiple times before I finally scrolled way down and found what I was looking for.
