What customers praise

Common complaints
The most common complaint is the absence of a QR code on invoices, requiring users to manually enter long IBAN numbers. This process is described as cumbersome and error-prone by multiple reviewers. Some users report the payment system fails to open their banking apps, causing repeated errors and failed transactions. Several users call the payment method outdated or poorly designed, with one using the German term 'Pfahlbauer' to describe it as primitive or archaic.

How it has changed over time
The billing experience has declined over time. Ratings were stable in late 2025, peaking at 4.8 stars in November. By August 2026, the average rating fell to 1.5 stars. Multiple users reported blocked accounts and no access to customer support. The trend shows that initial improvements were followed by a sharp drop in user trust and satisfaction due to recent changes or unresolved issues.

Practical takeaways

Customer support is often limited or unresponsive during issues. Product quality and delivery are frequently praised, but the billing process remains a major weakness.
