Cash Appfor iOS

Square Cash provides a platform for basic transactions with just a few taps on your phone. Money transfers are comfortable and straightforward with this app.

The secure way to pay or get paid

Send and receive money with simple transactions in the palm of your hand.

The first item you'll notice when you use Square Cash is its focus on protecting your information and payments. It does this with a password system. There’s an option to use Touch ID if your phone has a fingerprint scanner.

You can make payments with emails. To do this, add the contact email address that you’d like to pay and the amount you want to send. After that, add Square Cash to the “carbon copy” section of the message, and then hit send. The company is notified that you’re trying to make a payment, and they’ll follow through. Some transactions may take extra time because emails might take extra time to send. This system is a bit different from alternatives, like Paypal, that have the payment system built into their service. However, it’s quite fast and reduces limitations for anyone interested in using the application.

Square Cash offers a reward program for users who refer others, with a bonus for transfers made within 14 days. This is a great motivator to download and recommend the app to friends for some extra income on your first transfer.

Sending and receiving money outside of the United States is not possible. This is an issue for anyone who wants to travel with the app or is looking to transfer money internationally.

A $250 weekly sending limit is a major downside. Also, you can receive a maximum of $1000 every seven days. This can be changed, though, by linking your Facebook account. You may need to provide additional information as your limit goes up.

Where can you run this program?

This program requires iOS 11.0 or later. It is also available on Android and Windows.

Is there a better alternative?

Yes. Square Cash offers a basic and straightforward money transfer solution, yet it limits transactions. Meanwhile, its competitor, Paypal, provides customers with the option to send both domestic and international transfers with almost no restrictions.

Our take

The app has a simple and clean interface. It’s easy to send money with the app. However, the limitations that it has are a major letdown.

Should you download it?

No. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use app to make payments with few restrictions, this is not the place to look.
