Now if only they would have a bit more in depth way of assessing security vulnerabilities in this system, rather than blanket bans on any Android system with the "Modified" flag active. Users of CyanogenMod and even debloated stock Android ROMs are unable to use this for payments, with the app claiming to be "unable to detect" if the OS is Android. Google Wallet operated without issue regardless of the ROM used, but the NFC payment functionality has been gutted from Wallet so it doesn't conflict with Android Pay, leaving the many users of "less official" Android versions out in the cold.

TL;DR: Sure-fire way to boost adoption? Ban a segment of users from using the app. Good plan, Google.
