Craig Schuster (ID: 000000959a20e888) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/14/2024 MetaMask support is top-notch. MetaMask has the best customer support chat. MetaMask does NOT have phone support. Do NOT call a phone number to talk to MetaMask.

Daniel Greencliff (ID: 000000e42155e47d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/18/2024 We need more pop-ups in the app. Designers know nothing about usability. Very lagging. -1/5

ceoman (ID: 000000e0b12d0319) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/18/2024 I had to add this extension just to add review. And my review is I felt unsecured with this wallet, and of that with their BSC network,. while adding fund for bnb gas fees. fund keeps disappearing,. spent $10 just to add fund to this wallet. And while looking from their support, no is there but just a clown bot.
