1. 5/5Helping our children become something bigger a little bit at a time

   I used to not have any interest to participate in these reviews and or surveys until I realized we can make the difference and because I work and earn money based off reviews and feedback. I take mine as an opportunity to grow and get better and anything that helps us help the schools and the kiddos reach higher and farther this is great It’s a lot easier that some apps. It even keeps track of my major retailers that I shop at when sometimes I forget. It’s not hard to take a few minutes if even that long to set it up and off you go! They give rewards snacks and all kinds of neat things to pass along to others. We all can do a little to help each other go miles! This is a great way to still be involved even for the parents who can’t volunteer or share too much extra time at the school bc of schedules conflicting. we all shop and most of us look for a deal and check the weekly ad and coupons so this isn’t anything extra in your shopping itinerary to add on and it’s for a great cause ! The schools and kids that will be our next future generation of leaders

2. 1/5Full of GLITCHES

   App keeps crashing when trying to repost missing earnings. I submitted a receipt FOUR TIMES from Target. It was part of a multi- transaction online purchase. Some items were picked up up in store so it became a separate transaction. I forwarded the 1st of that transaction and it processed correctly. For the 2nd transaction of that purchase it had 7 Annie’s items. The 1st 3 times I forwarded this emailed receipt from Target it got rejected even though I just did the same thing and got credited successfully. I went on the Target app and saved the receipt through the app and emailed that for the 4th attempt. This time it credited 2 out of the 7 Annie’s items. I went to the Box Top app (I had the latest version of the app) and went under my earnings, selected that transaction, then went to report missing items except that of the many items I had on that receipt it only listed about a few other things that weren’t the 5 missing Annie’s products. It also said this was a receipt for Kroger not Target. I then went to select add a message. I filled it out and hit submit which crashed the app. I went back into the app again and it crashed a 2nd time. Lately, whenever I have receipts from an online Target purchase, I have to contact Box Tops for missing credit. It’s getting very tedious and annoying. It’s even worse now with the app being glitchy and crashing. You’re a huge corporation who’s making people jump thru hoops to get pennies for public school. Do better.

3. 5/5So easy to raise money for your school

   Rolling back the clock 35 years, I was once the Boxtop coordinator for my children’s elementary school- we collected physical labels which needed to be clipped and counted and bundled before mailing them in to Boxtops for redemption. Fast forward all these years and I have always saved them for our great nephews and nieces school once our own had moved on, only now it is so much easier. Just scan your receipt in the app and watch the savings pile up for your school! In less than a minute today I earned $3.60 cents for my neighborhood elementary school. I don’t even have children at home but still buy so many eligible products that I usually earn $50+ a year for the school. BFE makes it so easy for you, even if you don’t know if you bought qualified items on your shopping trip, just scan the receipt and it will give you credit or let you know you had no eligible items and ask if you want to enter into a bonus drawing for your school. Such an easy way for PTA’s to earn money for their schools without having to sell overpriced cookies and wrapping paper.

4. 1/5First Impression NO GO

   I’ve been clipping and collecting box tops to have them ready for when my son starts school. He just started kindergarten. All those box tops I saved are now just wasted and no use because now we have to use receipts meaning I cannot get boxtops from friends and relatives anymore because its too much to have them save their receipts when some of them don’t even take their receipts. Oh well, right? I’ll just use what I can get. So now I downloaded the app and tried signing up for an account. It asked for my email and information. Note: the app never mentioned to use the student’s information. It even said “Your Birthday” so I filled in all my info including my birthday. Then I get a message saying I am not eligible to join the box top community apparently because I put the wrong age/birthday. Well they never mentioned that they wanted the student’s information! I used my own email to create the account and it auto filled with my name and all. What do the developers expect? 5 year old kids will have their own email and set up their own accounts?? They need to clarify in the sign up section to input the student’s information then. And what if I have multiple kids? One in elementary and one in middle school. So do I just pick one and forget about the other one? I think all these issues will just hurt the schools. Box tops think they are being helpful by doing this but they’re not. I’d rather go back to clipping or if it’s gonna continue like this then I’ll not do box tops anymore. It’s too much.

5. 1/5Doesn’t Even Recognize Items Purchased

   I get most of my items with the Box Tops in 1 monthly purchase from a retailer that seeks things in bulk sizes. The packaging says they are eligible items, they’ve always had multiple of the printed Box Tops in the past. The retailer is supposed to be a recognized one. There was even a bonus for them not to long ago. However, when I scanned the receipts the last few months, none of the items with these supposed digital Box Tops in the app showed up and there are no longer printed Box Tops in the packaging to send to the school. Only the advertising for using the app to get the Box Tops is on the packaging now, but it doesn’t work. I tried contacting customer service through the app each time, but never received a response. So the school gets no credit for what should have been 30-40 Box Tops. Then let’s top this all off with I have lots of family & friends that used to save Box Tops & give them to my child. Many of these people elderly and don’t use apps like this. Now because it’s all digital the schools get nothing from them because I don’t see them often enough to scan receipts before the time limit is up. This app seems to be a way to just stop giving the schools as much money because fewer people like the elderly will use it and because many receipts won’t be accepted or will be lost or unreadable. This hasn’t simplified the process, it’s complicated it.

4. 4/5

   App doesn't always catch all the items on the receipt. You can report missed earnings, it's just extra time and annoying effort to have to do it so often.

5. 1/5

   This has gotten to be a very slow app/process. Just get to it. I don't need a 30 second splash screen and then a long cheering session after a scan. Speed it all up and allow default settings like for paper receipts. Constantly the selecting is beyond old.
