I can't speak for other countries, but at least in India it has been a huge success. At this point I think it is even bigger then PayTM. When it was first released it was very smooth compared to all the competition and the cashback was also pretty good. But just a few months ago they released a new update (GPay) and I don't know what they did but it is now unbearably slow. Checking bank balance only works in 2 or 3 tries and transactions can fail multiple times. Instead of focusing on that they decided to make an UI update that made the interface incredibly slow. Unbelievable. I have moved on to PayTM for now (it is much better), but I will continue to keep an eye on it. Maybe it will get better.

> I don't know what they did but it is now unbearably slow There was this announcement about GPay is reimplemented in Flutter. It could be related to that.

  Yeah, I also noticed that on the app version when it was released. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26315915 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26315915 I don't know why they would ruin such a fast, successful app like this.

  Flutter applications start insanely slowly. I only tried it once and a tiny, one-screen app with barely any interactivity took like 2.5 seconds to load on a Snapdragon 845 phone.
