“Given its simplicity and the backing of a reputable brand (Square), Cash App is worth trying. If you have the need to send cash from a credit card to another person or business, Cash App can certainly perform the task without any issues.” Review

“When compared to other person-to-person payment networks, Cash App works very similarly. The fees are quite reasonable, though you can find other options with no such costs. Still, they might not be as safe and secure as the Cash App. Therefore, we think that this is a great app to use when you want to shop online or make payments online without using your actual debit or credit card.” Review

“If you’re looking for a simple peer-to-peer payment app with no debit card fees, Cash App is worth considering. But with opaque fees, a focus on Bitcoin and multiple customer complaints, you may want to compare top mobile payment apps first.” Review
