User Reviews

Users appreciate the quick and easy refund process with fast payout via PayPal or bank once set up, and find the instructions and airport machine usage straightforward. However, widespread issues with the app crashing during crucial steps, buggy camera functions for photos, poor usability, and inadequate support significantly hinder the overall experience.

Pros

Process is straightforward and easy to use once set up
Quick refund received via PayPal or bank account within days
Helpful step-by-step instructions for scanning receipts and setting up
Integration with airport/customs machines (Pablo machines) works well when operational
Good refund amount (typically 80% VAT back) and speedy service

Cons

App frequently crashes, especially during passport scan or selfie upload
Camera integration is buggy—photo capturing of passport, selfie, or receipts often fails
App is slow, unintuitive, and unresponsive; buttons don't always work
Lack of customer support and bugs remain unresolved, leading to user frustration
App logs out often, no biometric re-login, and calculation bugs reported
