User Reviews

User reviews largely complain about the ConnectNetwork app being unreliable and hard to use. The most frequent issues are that money loading fails or results in unexpected charges or refunds, and recipients or inmates cannot be added or found due to missing lists and blank dropdowns. There are repeated crashes, data loss, and persistent login/sign-in problems, with balances not displaying at times. Customers also report unhelpful or rude support and complaints about high or unclear fees for pin-debit transfers. Overall, core functionality is impaired, with little resolution from support.
Pros
Cons
  • Frequent money loading failures, card acceptance issues, and unexpected charges or refunds.
  • Inability to add or locate inmates/recipients due to missing state lists, blank dropdowns, or deleted profiles.
  • Recurring crashes, data loss, and ongoing login/sign-in problems (passwords, PINs, Face ID).
  • Poor customer service and difficulty getting help or resolutions.
  • Hidden or high fees for pin-debit transfers.

I love being able to talk to my loved one in prison, but this app barely works. Barely can talk to him over the phone, and today it took FOUR times of calling before it connected. And even though we were only connected for 3 seconds, it took $0.12 from me too. Money grab at its best. And taking advantage of those who have no choice

I have had this app for well over 2 years. Recently i tried to put money on one of my loved ones pin debit or my advancepay and it will take the money from my account then on the payment history it says pre authorization or something of that nature and never put the money on my accounts. I need a refund of all the money i still have not received its been months and nothing has been resolved. Otherwise will be trying to file a lawsuit for theft
