Used to be great
As I was saying, this app used to be great and had actual rewards that were worth it. They used to actually have cash out via PayPal as an option where $500 and $1000 were rewards. After quietly and diligently being safe to collect for years, I log in and see that even though I was halfway to the $10,000 “OnMyWay cash” $1,000usd cash out option that it’s no longer available and only for trash items like a free whopper or travel farces that you have to come out of pocket for taxes and everything else involved when going on vacation.
Stop pandering for sponsors and bring the cash out options back, until then - I’ve uninstalled and have less of a desire for road safety. (Not really, but you catch my drift. Don’t take away cash incentives for corporate sponsorship.)

FANTASTIC App!
I have been using this app for a few years,, but just recently started redeeming for gas. It took a bit to get used to, but after contacting customer support, they were a huge help in getting me started. Make sure when you do your video, include your name, where you’re from, the station, and how much gas you put in, and last bit certainly not least, say “thank you /thanks on my way!!” It takes it a few days to get to your account, but it is worth it. It’s a FANTASTIC app and I will definitely use it more often.

I enjoy this app!!
I happen to find this app looking for a way to make a little money and since I have a car I thought why not try this app. I am very pleased with the making of this app. It pays to drive safe. It pretty neat the creator of this app included a way to reward you with redeemable rewards such as food, drinks, and or gas etc. all you have to do it follow the instruction when you post video and then share the link to them of your post and you get your pay out into your account within a few days. It really does work to be a safe driver. I think it’s a great way to keep people off there phones and focus on the road. Great app!

Free opportunities
So I got the OnMyWay app because my son told me I could make money just driving around. So I got it ensure enough I make money just driving around. Every week I fill up my tank I create a short video and I get paid five dollars. it’s a little bit of work, but so is scanning receipts and clipping coupons and all of that. I would like to see them be a little more lenient on how you can spend the money. It is pretty specific about what you can get at each business. Other than that, if you’re interested in saving some money here, and there is definitely worth while.

Fabulous Customer Service
I’ve been using OnMyWay for about five years now. I’ve been collecting miles quietly for ages. And I’ve never had any issues with the app. It always counts where I go, it’s never slowed me down, it’s so good.
Recently, I did contact customer service because the app began interfering with my maps service. On Apple, a blue bar appears around the current time that you can hit to go to your directions. OnMyWay began interfering with that interface, so I left them some feedback in an interview. They said they’d get back to me and I figured that was as far as they would go.
THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. AND THEN. EMAILED ME BACK TO TELL ME. I was so impressed! I felt so listened to! It wasn’t as if I had yelled or demanded a fix in my email - I was just leaving some feedback. But they really went to the stars and I was so touched by it.
Long story short, wonderful app, wonderful people, wonderful life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Deceptive money making opportunity
DECEPTIVE & TIME CONSUMING
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT
The concept of this app is brilliant. But it’s very deceptive because you don’t receive any money nor rewards directly into your PayPal or Venmo account. However, you’re providing access to your phone, location, copy of your drivers license, PayPal, Venmo home address, email, personal photo, and contacts. That’s a lot of information for them not to provide the actual payout this app requires far too much confidential data, more time and effort than it’s worth. You have to stay on top of whatever you earn. I am still waiting for credit for referrals. Also, in order to take advantage of the rewards you have to take a video, and they withdraw from the amount that you owe so the amount that you owe is stored in the app. I would rate this a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10.

It actually is a scam…
I never write reviews so that’s how bad this is… it’s not real! You do accumulate “cash” for miles driven but you can only redeem it on gift cards for junk the app itself is selling that always costs just a bit more than what the gift card is worth. Just when you’re about to give up on it, they’ll lure you back with new offers “coming soon” but they never actually arrive. And if you have questions about the so-called offers or promotions, the “real-time chat help” is a joke. There is no chat option even though that’s literally what they call it, the link just takes you to a list of articles. When you finally find a way to contact “helpdesk” they will just email you a link to that same list of articles! If you’re as stubborn as I am to get at least something out of the miles driven with this app, it’ll take about 10 years to cash out the thousand bucks (assuming that’s even still an offer 10 years down the line). But the app will drain your phone’s battery life in the meantime. I’ve held out several years for ANY kind of reward but I think I have to finally cut my losses and delete the app, they’ve sucked me dry.

Scam
You won’t get paid for sharing your data that they are taking. You can see how much money is added as you are driving but if you want to cash out the money that you have earned, you can't. They give you options to use the money you have earned on cheap worthless things and you still have to use your money to be able to purchase any item. It is like you spending your earn money in their store because they do not want to pay the money to you and you still have to pay cash money to complete any purchases. Even though you have enough earn money, they want you to use you cash also. I want to be able to cash out the money I've earned to pay bills and I can't. They won't give you the option for it. I have asked them to delete my account and they told me to wait three days after uninstalling the app. I checked after months and my account ccwas not deleted. I wonder what are they doing with our information. They have gotten more then what they are willing to give. Which is nothing for it.

Resourceful app that has very good deals
No…it’s not going to make you rock from driving around an Uber or taking a cross-country trip.
But it will give you offers for fairly simple tasks with money off of gas, food, coffee, etc. In this economy, everyone likes a love token in Venmo or PayPal for 1 minute of extra effort. :)
I’ve been with them a while, and the store is growing with fairly “hit” rarely “miss” items that are discounted. They may be knock off or something that you don’t think you need. However, the item may find use in your everyday life, or it may inspire you to find the elite version of a similar product.
Overall, the group that runs it is fantastic!

Great IDEA, very poorly executed
The idea of people earning money while driving and not using their phone is wonderful! But what I don’t understand is/ what are you supposed to do with the “money” you earn? You can’t use it in their little “shop” thing (which i’m sure all these products are earning the company who made the app kickbacks and money), you can’t cash any of this “money” you make out… so it seems pointless. I’ve had this app for YEARS now and at first I loved the idea of it but now after “earning” the supposed $800-something dollars… like what do I do with this? Because to buy the items in the app it wants a credit/debit card. What’s the point of the earnings that you make???
