I have been meaning to get Venmo since it does seem to be easy and it is all my kids use. Reading this thread motivated me to jump in and get the app.
I finally got it all set up, but I thought it was creepy when a screen popped up showing me all of the transactions that my kids and friends have made. I don’t know if there is a setting to opt out of this but it seems a bit of an invasion of privacy. I am not sure my kids or anyone really would want me seeing who they paid or got paid from and what it was for. I could really make my kids think I am spying on them by dropping some of these transaction details :))
