Designed for Android devices, this application allows users to add their cards to an NFC-enabled Android device and use their mobile devices instead of credit cards to make payments in retail stores. Android Pay also serves as an alternative to Google Wallet. Users can make purchases through its Android app and make payments for other Android services, such as movies and music. Android Pay uses virtual account numbers instead of bank account or card details. This helps to add a security layer to making payments. Users who have a fingerprint-reader feature in their smartphones can authenticate their payments using their fingerprints. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 927 users.

Its so much faster than digging through my bag for a wallet and I never have to worry about if I forgot my cards at home. I also really like how it integrates with my gmail for tracking receipts and stuff. The security side of things gives me peace of mind too since it uses virtual numbers so the actual merchant never sees my real card info. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the app feels a bit cluttered after the recent updates. It’s not a huge deal though since it still works wonderfully. > > Sometimes the app feels a bit cluttered after the recent updates. They keep trying to push rewards and deals that I dont really care about, and it makes it harder to find my actual transaction history quickly. Also, I have noticed that once in a while it wont trigger the NFC reader on the first try, so I have to lock and unlock my phone to get it to wake up. It’s not a huge deal but can be a bit awkward when there is a long line behind you. ----- Page: 1 / 38\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/124963/google-pay?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/124963/google-pay) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
