User Reviews

EW Pay offers innovative NFC-enabled payments with convenient features like card locking/unlocking, but many users report frequent crashes, session expirations, and login issues making the app unreliable. Users highlight slowness, repeated errors, and compatibility problems after updates. While support is active and some users succeed in payments, the app needs significant improvement for stability, offline use, and user experience to be a dependable payment solution.

Pros

The app offers NFC-enabled payment which is innovative and convenient for local users.
Convenient features like locking/unlocking cards and tap-to-pay without using a physical card were appreciated.
The app can be useful and handy after a few restarts despite some issues.
Customer service has responded to some problems, showing active support.
Some users successfully registered their cards and made payments using the app.

Cons

Frequent app crashes, especially after updates, making it unreliable and often unusable.
Session expiration issues causing users to log in daily or more frequently than needed.
Login difficulties and errors such as 'Internal error' and 'Undefined error' prevent app usage.
The app consumes patience due to slowness, crashing, and looping restart errors.
Limited offline or no-data functionality and confusing or repetitive feedback prompts.

Kindly fix the session expiration. It expires daily which is unnecessary considering other banking apps like BPI are able to keep user sessions properly.
