Every time I encounter venmo whoever has it usually apologizes for it and explains that you can turn the weird social stuff off. If that's the case, then what's the point? Moreover, it demonstrates that the people who made it have weird philosophies on things. What other choices have they made that I don't know of, can't turn off and would disagree with?
Square Cash is great, btw. No bloat, very simple, does what you expect it to. (I suppose PayPal is looking that way now these days too though)
- tetromino_ 8y agoSquare Cash may have less bloat and a far nicer UI, but it charges a percentage for instant deposit, while Venmo has a flat $0.25 fee. So when you don't want to wait three days to get the money to your bank account, you grit your teeth and use Venmo.
- X-Istence 8y agoIIRC you can in Venmo say that its private and thus turn off the weird social thing per payment: https://imgur.com/She6BGE https://imgur.com/She6BGE You can also change the default, although that seems to be an option I don't remember having when I first started using the app... That is located in Settings -> Privacy... although you get a popup saying "You know you can change this per payment, you sure you want to do this" which to me feels weird and pushy. I agree with Square Cash or other services, instead of Venmo since the whole idea of by default sharing my payments feels weird. Apple Pay works really well too if you and the recipient are both Apple users.
