For those not able to log in on Android phones after downloading the new version, saying it is stuck on El Salvador aera code; you need to change the font of policy on your phone to small. Go to setting font size and style and put it to medium or smaller. Then go back to the app, and it will let you choose your country 😉 YW

I lough of so many bad reviews all I see is people who probably don't know how to use the app Never had any problems buying,selling,sending bitcoin or dolares to any friends and family using this app. Tomense el tiempo para aprender usar la y despues opinen.

Experience with the app is great. It has saved me money with money transfers. I would like to have the option of seeing separate transaction history of BTC and dollars. That would make it better.

Awful! I've used this app a couple of times and it always takes about 8 hours to get a response if the transaction was approved, failed or canceled. I'm so unistalling this app and will seek for an alternative! Horrible! He usado esta aplicación un par de veces y siempre tarda más de 8 horas en obtener una respuesta en que si la transacción fue aprobada o cancelada. Definitivamente voy a desinstalarla y buscar otras alternativas!

Way too basic. As a USD transfer app seems to be fine, but for Bitcoin trading is TERRIBLE. Every single transaction has given me the wrong price/rate. UPDATE: Constantly logs you out, not reliable. A Web version would be helpful

I've been trying to get in to my Chivo Wallet and the system won't accept the original cell number I used to register my account. It has been a week of trying and nothing. I get The same message "use a real number to register" but I'm not trying to register, I'm trying to get into my account. I contacted Chivo via email and tweeter. They responded and called me once but no solution to my issue yet. I need to send money to my family and I can't. I need help to solve this problem please. HELP!!!!

The last update that super bad, I downloaded it to register in the application as a new user but when I click on the register option, the application automatically closes or restarts again. I already tried on different mobile devices but the problem always happens.

Horrible app, it only worked twice for me. Now I can't even log in. It doesn't recognize my DUI number. Three weeks ago I loaded in to it $2000 that never appeared in my account. I have been trying to get the issue resolved through customer service because the funds were withdrawn from my debit card but I am not getting any help from them. I am very disappointed.
