Loading, but not working
When I tested the platforms for myself during the outage, both of them loaded, but neither worked. I used the Venomo app, which only wandered when I tried to send payment to my wife (it was spinning for at least 45 minutes). I tried PayPal through my laptop browser, and it sent a fine of $ 1 at my end, but my wife never received a conscious email to pay her, and her balance did not reflect the payment (mine).
When I tested again in the afternoon, my venamo paid went without any bottleneck.

The money was accessible the whole time. I had a small Venmo balance that I was able to move to my bank without any hassle (or at least the app says it is transferring).
