4/5Easy to use, but time consuming on large receipts
I have been using the app now for about 2 weeks. The app itself is easy to use and their are a couple of videos to watch as well that are really helpful. I happened to start using the app about the time that the Corona Virus started to rear its ugly head here. I have to shop for 3 families so stocking up for 3 families meant long receipts. That of course meant it took longer to scan each item once I got home before I delivered the groceries to my family members who were counting on me. I found that it is easier to just go down the receipt so I didn’t lose track where I was. It is tedious to have to scan in each item but I found that with some major stores you only have to scan the items and not enter prices. For a long receipt it took about 15 minutes to do. The support team is GREAT. I had to call with a few questions in the first week and they were very helpful. I like being able to track my progress and I like that I can scan my online purchases as well. I gave it a 4 out of 5 only because of the time it takes to scan things. Eventually I will get better at this. If you have those extra minutes it is fun and worthwhile and I am glad I signed up.

2/5An easy side hustle
This is a fairly easy side hustle. It’s a grocery /food survey site. It’s time consuming. It’s not just a snapped receipt and go on your way. First if you snap the barcode and it doesn’t match with some magical number, you have to hand put in what you spent for it. You do this every time you scan the barcode , and if you’re at the dollar tree you have to put in the dollar tree price. If you’re at any other store, you may have to put in their price too so you don’t lose your receipt. Also, when they put your groceries in the bag they don’t put them in the bag the way you put them the cart. So “have to put in whether it was a sale . If the barcode is wrong, you have to go back in hand, put in the barcode. If the barcode doesn’t have a specific item attached to it, you have to go back and write the item in. They want you to do all your receipts. I don’t anymore. It will take me up to an hour to do one shopping trip and it’s not worth it. They have sweepstakes and you’re competing with thousands of other people who are on the site. They have the sink called a treasure trove, which is a scam. You click on one chest been able to get point wise was 150 points. Sometimes it’s only zero points most of the time it’s 25. Even though they have some that say 1000. This really good if you have lots of time on your hands. Frankly, I prefer Fetch where you just snap the receipt. Needless to say I’m not as enthusiastic as I was when I started.

1/5Not sure if it works? Scam? I think so
I do a lot of surveys and things like that to make a little extra money here and there. This hasn’t worked for me. I wasn’t able to gain enough points to get a reward since I was having a lot of trouble since my c-score/reward point did not (and still don’t) accurately reflect what I have scanned/ purchased. I have an iPhone 11. I’m not sure if it’s my phone, but the app looks very low tech. It doesn’t fit the screen. It makes me feel like this might just be a scam to get people’s information. It might of a software issue. I had to contact customer service (yesterday Aug 19) because my purchases/scans weren’t showing up getting counted. My account on my app said one thing, my account on the website said another when it came to my last scan/purchase, but my reward points didn’t change from the first time. After I contacted them, the only ones that showed up were from last week (I’m guessing because I can’t see a history of all my scans/purchases to be able to determine which ones got counted). None of my scans from this week got counted (they say it takes up to 48 hours but it’s already Friday, not sure what happened to my scans from earlier this week). Maybe it works for other people? It’s just a lot of work for it not to work. I recommend you save your time and energy and try other options as this one is very finicky.

4/5Great Overall, But Needs Improvement
I've been scanning for over 15 weeks and, so far, the app has been great. However, I do have a few ideas to improve the user experience. First of all, I really think that the app should allow users to type in the names of the stores they use. The number of categories available does not always reflect the various types of stores available for a shopping trip. Next, when entering products that don't have a barcode (i.e. prepared foods, produce, cheeses, etc.), there is no option to report multiple items per entry. For example, I purchased two cucumbers from the grocery store and I had to enter this purchase twice. Imagine if I had bought seven cucumbers; I would have to do this seven times over. I also would like to see the ability to scan the receipt and to input prices that way, while correlating each item on the receipt with a scan of the UPC tag (or an associated manual entry). In addition, with this Coronavirus pandemic, I think there should be a null option in the drop-down menu on the app (i.e. "No Purchases This Week"). Entering the barcode provided by NCP is very difficult because the app still asks for a price, a quantity, associated coupons, etc. For those who use a hand-held scanner (not a mobile device), this option is already available, so app users should have parity. Addressing these concerns would make the user experience so much better in my opinion, and would make it a lot less tedious to use the app.

3/5Kind of a pain to do
I been using this application for numerous months before the outbreak happened. The process is a bit of a pain and can get over bearing when you have a large shopping trip. Also, not sure but I think you lose ranking if you do not shop all the time which I do not any more due to the outbreak issue. So, if you do not report something at least once a week you may lose your ranking status. I think that is rather petty being that people are staying home more now due to what’s is happening in the country. The survey can be long winded and uninteresting which some time 150 points are not worth the trouble to do them. Overall, this application could be so much easier to use with a lot of upgrading, for example certain store accounts linked like Walmart or Target. Even better, how about being able to link your payment card to the application so when used the application will automatically register a purchase. I like the fact that the application screwed up and I had to delete it for reinstall. When I did all my favorite stores were deleted as well as other information when I logged back into the application...
