I find very bad n discrimination about your app to save money
Not every old person has the mobile phone to have a app on telephone
Why don’t you give everyone the right to save money o collecting money on app with a card that everyone can handle in at the time of purchase
Why not this is a very bad discrimination against peoples that can’t afford the mobile phone
