Extremely hard to use, banned me right after I paid something using this email account. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone at all.

Beware of accidentally creating multiple Yahoo IDs. I ended up creating 4 IDs over the time and now I can't login into 3 of them. Moreover my PayPay credit card is linked to the one of those 3 IDs.

This app may be good but it doesn't allow you to change the language from Japanese. The same for all Yahoo apps, pointless for gaijin.
