Google Wallet review Easy money sending and bill splitting, if you're on iOS
29Google Wallet review Easy money sending and bill splitting, if you're on iOS.
Google Wallet is the mobile payment app that's so close and yet so far. Were it not for its limitations on the Android side, it would be a strong contender for "Best App that Isn't Venmo." Boasting a simple interface, robust bill splitting abilities—well, for iOS users, anyway—and ability to send or receive cash from virtually anyone, Google Wallet checks most of the boxes when it comes to peer-to-peer payments, although we wish it would let you use a credit card rather than just debit cards.
Google may be a hot company, but its Wallet app faces stiff competition. Check out the other mobile payment apps we reviewed.
Getting started with Google Wallet is relatively painless, particularly if you've already got a Google account. Once you sign in, the Google Wallet app will add any payment methods you've already enabled through your Google account. Your Google contacts are also available directly through the app.
