World First Money Transfer for Android
Oh dear, World First....... great website, deplorable app..... surely it's worth your while investing a few dollars to get a decent app, have happy customers and make bad reviews a thing of the past
This is the second edit of my review following updating the app by mistake and so ended up with the latest version. I am making this plea to the developers - PLEASE REPUBLISH v2.4 AS A DIFFERENT VERSION IN THE PLAY STORE SO THAT THOSE OF US WHO NEED A FUNCTIONING APP CAN GET ON WITH EVERYTHING ELSE WE HAVE TO DO. Whilst the newest version doesn't seem to be crashing as much, WHERE HAVE SAVED TRADES GONE?? Seriously guys, this is ridiculous for a company that does so well in every other way. Once again I'll be relying on sideloading a backup of the old app and trying to avoid it updating. I'm an optimistic person so maybe we'll see a result in 2018...
Just a poor app that needs a complete rewrite. Basically no really point in it as it stands. Dialogues keep coming up too.
Where are the up to date currency rate graphs?
I have changed phones and the app no longer works. I can't even open it now. Tried re-installing but still not working. Frustrated!
Disappointing upgrade. Previous works much better
Previous version was useful providing guidance, up to date currency rates etc. Now just a useless app and I will resort to phoning WF and I will be deleting it. Why do companies like going backwards??
Continues to come up with internal error.not sure why it needed to change from the previous app.
Bad app. Minimum of 2k to transfer
Don't waste your time. Very frustrating as it doesn't work. Gone back to using Transferwise as that is so much simpler to use and works every time.
The previous app was excellent, intuitive and straight forward. This refresh is tragic, lacking all the usability of the predecessor and crashing almost every time. I am actively looking for an alternative.
Dishonest. Quotes a figure, takes your details, knocks $70 off the recipient amount at the last hurdle. Crashes often.
Ever worse than before telling me I can only transfer minimum 1694.87......impossible to do quick trade.Currencies do not load....
This app is a continual source of frustration. Frequently changed but rarely improved. It currently displays gibberish in one option which causes me concerns over its security.
Really like world first but you need to fix few issues. First is a random figure in the amount to be sent, which will then change to another figure when selecting the desired currency, seeing the final conversion rate before filling all fields would be the biggest for me, I spend too much time to go through all of this to just cancel if I don't like the final amount
No longer gives live rates. Don't want to log in.
Why you have change the AP to a useless version. It does not work. It does not give the live rate and it also crashes half way through plugging in my info.
I used this app to reference exchange rate as well as to transfer funds but now only the later feature is readily available to me. When will the exchange rate browse feature return?
Crashing problem now fixed. Very easy to login with a pin and the platform is great. Can send money in seconds.
New release is horrible due to limited functionality. Where did the live rates go?!?
Update fixed the crashing issue, need to get used to the new layout, but like the fact that you can see the rate at the start. Would be great if you could save frequently used transactions.
Does not work. Very amateur app.
What a load of crap . Full stop
Can't do transactions for the company acct. Useless at the moment.
Ooops, it was all going so well, what went wrong?
This update makes the app totally unusable, I cannot do any trading as it either crashes or says it is still loading application. This needs reverting back to the previous version immediately or you will lose customers.
Version 3.1 just downloaded and it keeps crashing when I try to access 'Saved trades'. The app just closes. Before this update everything worked fine. Please look at adding finger print login as well.
Impossible to do quick trade.Currencies do not load....
Can't even make a trade. Can access anything always crashing. Useless
I was drawn to this fund transfer service because of its claim of beating bank exchange rates. However, they don't tell which bank's exchange rates they talk about. Because there is a big difference between the rates of sending banks and those of the receiving banks. When you send $s to some European country, the latter banks exchange the $s at much better rates than the US banks. But World First only saves you same money compared to the US banks, but make you a loser against the European exchange rates.
Just downloaded the app, I have been using their website and after you confirm and set up everything they save a secure online account that is like a bank account. I have converted 5,000 USD to KES and sent to my wife. They have a option to buy money from every country on main website and after you buy it saves your order and notifies you when the exchange rate is the best. This means you can buy at good exchange rates and just keep switching currency on their website make money each time by buying low
Why doesn't this app have all the currencies on the Live Rate? I only need one and it doesn't have it
Can't do transactions for the company acct. Useless at the moment.
Efficient and easy to use app, rates are always a few points away from interbank rate, not miles away though
Fantastic app would recommend it for sure
Good app and easy to use
Fantastic app for transferring money abroad, simple to set up and use.
Use it to transfer £££ into €€€ regularly. Quick, easy and fair rates
Excellent report of the transfer till it reaches to the person who receives.

The app has many bugs. Don't hold much confidence in security!
