I was concerned with this myself and planned to just add a physical card under my phone case, but I was suprised how little difference using the card normally made.

And if you care about privacy, you probably shouldn't make your purchases using a google app.

That's the vibe I got from it. It took longer to activate the app than it took to get a card out of my wallet. It had the potential to fail if my battery was flat. Google could track my shopping habits.

So, that's a pass.
