You can't see what you are doing on the mobile app because there's a big information notice on top and some advertisements on the bottom, leaving a one inch area to work in. It definitely needs to be updated. Both transfers I attempted to send had to be canceled. I couldn't see to cancel them in the app so I had to call western union. It was very inconvenient!

Every time I try to send money to India, it gives an error code. WU has my bank info, and only charges 99¢ for bank transfers. But they ALWAYS fail, because they want you to spend MORE using a different account, like credit card. It takes weeks for them to "fix" your account for the transfer to work. The next time you want to send money, IT HAPPENS ALL OVER AGAIN! I cannot decide if they are incompetent, or are forcing the system to fail on the cheapest transfer in order for you to pay more. 👎

Sending money one time, it defaults to have to confirm recurring monthly starting on the date of the one time transfer. If you click the box to remind you (to have to worry about cancelling the recurring) then you can change the frequency to one time but then if gives you the next day so it looks like it will send a second transfer. But then when you uncheck the reminder box, it defaults back to recurring monthly :( I'm confused as to whether system will send it again, which would be a theft.
