Had ups and downs but definitely still one of my top favorite. Pros What I like most about Google pay is the payment options it offers, especially "tap to pay", I love that I don't have to carry my physical card around with me and I can use my phone to pay whenever I need to. Definitely provides a feeling of security. Cons What at least like about Google pay is the reimbursement for unauthorized purchases in Google Play process. I feel as though if I am charged and it shows Google pay then that's who I should get assistance from, but at times I've had to wait days just to be told to contact a different company. Switched from [Apple Pay](https://www.capterra.com/p/212840/Apple-Pay/) I switched from having an Apple iPhone to a Motorola Android that's causing me to have to switch pay systems, but I definitely prefer the switch/Google pay.

Pros With Google pay I don't have to worry about card clonning, also I can pay in Ebay, local stores, and more online platforms, even on my laptop, phone or watch, card in home, pay with phone. Even my grandma uses it. Cons I don't have a problem with google, not at all, this is very helpful and very easy to use, my problem is to some stores that still don't allows it.

Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Choose a better option " July 3, 2026 1.0 Pros I thought I liked it until they started giving me a hassle that ended up being permanent and nearly impossible to reach them to resolve Cons The availability of options for help or guidance to find how to get hemp for when you are receiving errors that if you attempt to multiple retry payment ends up black listing your entire phone device ip Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Super convenient and makes daily shopping way easier" April 21, 2026 5.0 Sometimes the app feels a bit cluttered after the recent updates. They keep trying to push rewards and deals that I dont really care about, and it makes it harder to find my actual transaction history quickly. Also, I have noticed that once in a while it wont trigger the NFC reader on the first try, so I have to lock and unlock my phone to get it to wake up. It’s not a huge deal but can be a bit awkward when there is a long line behind you. Pros The thing I like most is definitely the speed of the tap to pay feature. Its so much faster than digging through my bag for a wallet and I never have to worry about if I forgot my cards at home. I also really like how it integrates with my gmail for tracking receipts and stuff. The security side of things gives me peace of mind too since it uses virtual numbers so the actual merchant never sees my real card info. Cons Sometimes the app feels a bit cluttered after the recent updates. It’s not a huge deal though since it still works wonderfully. Review Source AS Alexis S.

April 13, 2026 5.0 Users appreciate the "tap-to-pay" feature, which effectively replaces physical wallets for in-store and transit purchases.It is often cited as safer than physical cards because it uses tokenisation (virtual card numbers) so your actual details are never shared with merchants. Pros Users love that they no longer need to carry a physical wallet. The ability to pay for groceries, petrol, or retail items using just a phone or smartwatch is a major draw.Features like "tap to pay" and saved checkout information on websites streamline the purchasing process, making transactions much faster than using traditional cards. Cons Transactions can fail or take significantly longer if there is a poor data connection or if bank servers are running slowly. Review Source JW Jan W.

The animation from Google is so beautifully created and it tinkles excitement in using the app. On days like Valentines day or Christmas day, the animation updates automatically and it shows as surprise to users every time. Pros I like that you can tap with no limit on Google Pay and you can arrange which is your primary card to use on the app. It gives you so many different card functions for you to add or enter the barcode in to use your gift card or loyalty cards in shops. The fact that you can switch between your Google email accounts if need be (personal/ business), Google Pay made this seamless and hassle-free. For example, it also automatically syncs your cinema ticket or flight ticket (if you allow it) to your wallet within a few easy taps has made my life a lot easier whilst traveling constantly. Cons I wish that there may be an archive section for when a gift card or a used flight or cinema ticket can go into, so it doesn't clutter my home page on the Google Wallet app. Review Source WM Will M.
