## Review summary

Rooam is praised for cashless convenience and fast venue checkout, with easy tab monitoring. Yet reviews repeatedly cite major issues: frequent crashes and login loops; inability to delete or update account data with poor support; undisclosed or misapplied fees and tipping problems; and privacy concerns about data practices. Some users report accidental tab closures before tipping. The app delivers clear value when it works, but reliability and data/privacy problems often dominate the feedback.

### Pros

- Convenience: pay from your phone and avoid cash or cards.
- Speed and efficiency at venues: quick ordering and faster checkout.
- Easy tab monitoring and quick close-out without waiting in line.
- Works well at venues to streamline cashless payments during events.

### Cons

- Account management issues: cannot delete account or update phone number; customer support often unresponsive.
- Frequent crashes and login/verification loops.
- Fees and tipping problems: undisclosed or misapplied fees and unintended tipping.
- Privacy concerns and difficulty deleting data or account; questions about data mining / forced usage.
- Risk of accidental tab closures leading to tips being missed or double-charged.
