It won't accept my personal phone number, I suspect because it's a Google Voice number. Also the entire idea of the app is horrible. If people want to share all their financial info publicly I guess that's fine, but now it's impossible to opt out of this system. Yeah you can switch everything to private, but they definitely try to hide that option. And you can already send money to friends with the PayPal app. Oh, and they also push you to link your bank account by giving them your banking password! And guess what? Yes, they did log into your account, suck up all your data and sell it! They already lost a class action lawsuit about it. In summary: please go die, Venmo. The world would be better without you.
