Very nice

Places businesses miles incorrectly

I was excited to try this app after reading about it on 9 to 5 Mac because I use Apple Pay. However as soon as I installed this app it was painfully obvious that it did not know how to use GPS. What I mean by that is in the location where I was standing it listed a gas station for NFC payment acceptance. Unfortunately that gas station is actually more than 2 miles away from that location. Bummer.

How could they mess this up so badly?

Not like its a small company with few resources. Nothing in the right place, many appear multiple times up and down the same road. Just wow.

Nobody tested this before releasing it?

The map incorrectly shows businesses in locations that are many miles away. Its very confusing and not at all helpful.

Very poor

This app is unreliable because it does not list addresses correctly. If you zoom to a new point on the map and tap specific points, they are labeled with the locations from the previous area you were focused on! This is a critical problem that makes the app unusable from a fundamental standpoint. I dont understand how you can release an app that operates like this, but apparently mobile is not a high priority for MasterCard. I am very disappointed.

This app is terrible

This app looks terrible on the iPhone 6 Plus. This app shouldve already been optimized for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus please do it now.

Not entirely accurate, but good enough.

Its an ok app, even though MasterCard hasnt updated it for iOS 9 or the iPhone 6 yet. Its a simple app and can crash your phone. Use Apple maps to check if they support Apple Pay instead.

Not optimized for iPhone 5+... in 2015

Pretty annoying that this app letterboxes on my iPhone 6. Those 1 cm black bars at the top and bottom of the screen shouldnt be there. Searching for a city doesnt seem to work even with a good network connection. I tried "San Francisco, CA" and got no results. Some stores that dont accept MasterPass are listed but theres nothing they can realistically do about that. Bottom line: App has useful information, hence the two stars, but this is what happens when a non-tech company tries to do something techy.

Crashes, freezes my phone, difficult to use

Literally one of the worst apps Ive ever used. The idea behind it is great: a map of all of the stores that accept contactless payments. MasterCard fails to deliver with this poor excuse of an app. It freezes, crashes all the time, and just generally doesnt work. The problems get really bad when Im traveling. Forget it.

Not Optimized for iPhone 5?!

The app does do what it says it will. However, how in 2015 is an app that was updated a few months ago no optimized for the iPhone 5 yet? At this point, its not acceptable for an app to no be designed for the 6/6+ but not even the 5? This is just showing that they dont care about the app. I expect the app to just stop working in the future as it clearly has been abandoned.

MasterCard contactless search is inaccurate

Hardly any of the merchants found in the contactless search actually have contactless payment available. Not worth downloading.

Why? Just... Why?

Why pay for an app to be on the App Store if its this horrendously outdated? Listen to the other reviews, its not even worth looking into.

Please...

I find it a bit annoying how this app keeps getting recommended for people to find contactless merchants that may also accept Apple Pay. This app doesnt support any screen larger than a 4S, and it certainly doesnt support iOS 9. This app has the potential to be useful, but it definitely fails at that. Locations are sometimes inaccurate, and there seems to be no way to to submit feedback about it. Someone needs to spend the five minutes to give this app a decent update.

Works Perfect!

This app perfectly worked for me when I was in a pinch and didnt have my debit card on me and needed to find a gas station close by that took my Apple Pay card. Found a gas station less than a mile from me and I got gas before breaking down! Yay!

Old and hacky

iPhone 5 resolution has been out how long and its not supported!!? Lol. Find Apple Pay locations? So its the same as PayPass? Good job on using the updated Apple maps 2012! Cheap Ap cheap service.

Inaccurate data

The merchants who accept contactless payments may be inaccurate. I reported them but they are apparently ignored.
