Meh.
I love the idea of the app, and I’ve used it for years, but there’s so many flaws. They make it seem like you get paid as you drive safely, but in reality, there’s no real payouts. You get to “cash in” using “deals” to buy things that are unwanted. I started using my coins with the new crypto feature, which I loved in the beginning, but went to log in and look at my coins, and all of them disappeared as if I’ve never used the app. What a waste of time and effort. Edit: This still has not been addressed nor fixed. I request the deletion of all my information that has been collected as the app refuses to let me do so. Do better OMW!

It does pay!
It’s good:) …a bit of getting used to when they have you take like 6 steps to submit a request…and you need a Venmo account to get paid, but they follow through on gas and starbucks (which is all i’ve tried so far). Don’t be disappointed when it’s not immediate. YOU pay for the gas or the Starbucks yourself and later they pay you the $10 or $5 through Venmo. Worth it!

Good concept
I think the concept of this app is really good. Getting people to stay off of their phones by rewarding them with money. I have yet to be able to get the money. At first the app said it would get it into your bank account. Now there are “store cards” your money can go towards and you have to get an insane amount of money if you want it into your back account. I wanted to use the 250 card but it said I have to refer 250 people! 250 people!!!!! - This was a review I wrote about a year ago and I just not checked the app again and I have over 1000 and there is NO way for me to cash out that money. Only to use it on 5 dollars of mcdonald’s or starbucks. also, you have to video your order and shoutout/post onmyway to even get the money. not worth it.

Unpaid rewards/Response from Developer
I do tons of driving and I was getting the fuel rewards sent to my account. All was great until recently when I’ve had an unpaid reward for over a week. I’ve contacted them three days ago and still nothing has been done. What’s the point of allowing this app to track me if I’m not going to get the rewards I’ve earned?
Update: I finally got paid after about 9 days of waiting and everything else since then has been fine. I’m leaving the 1 star though because of the developer response. Nowhere in my review did I say it “wasn’t good.” And I’m not sure what’s confusing about my post. Also, take a look at their response to every single person that gives them a low rating. They can’t seem to take any amount of criticism and essentially call people liars for legitimate issues.

NOT TRUE... Very Confusing... Free Gas, Free Starbucks, Free McDonalds, Etc Etc, plus Free Travel and NFT's and a ton of other stuff is no good? Today we have marked 200 Lives Saved. So Good Luck and Be Safe! Email me directly at jill@onmyway.com if you are having problems. Thanks
App pretty cool but pointless!
Its a great inventive and easy to earn. App works well i suppose as intended, the only issue is u cannot spend the money u earn. U cant even redeem it for items listed in there app , the only thing i can use is 5$ once a week for the pick six . Kinda a waste of time. Maybe theyll that u exchange for crytpo and withdraw it, but i cannot seem to find any info on this other then crytpo the 21st lol.**** updated
When it cones to claiming mcdonLds or free gas you have to post a video of yourself at the place and post on your social media to redeem. Lots of people dont wanna do that

Not worth it if you’re uncomfortable with the idea of posting a video on your social media and tagging at least a couple of friends in it.
I think I can understand wanting a brief recording of where you’re at. But I wish they would just have you upload the video onto their own platform instead of posting it on other social media and tagging friends in it. I don’t even share much of anything personal on social media anymore for various reasons and I’m especially against the idea of violating other people’s privacy just to get extra cash.
One suggestion I would make is to add an option for the quick cash out instead of making it really a cashback app like Ibotta. They’re not upfront with this, either, which is yet another thing that bothers me.

Hi Lacrev40, I think tagging friends is pretty standard especially for the amount of rewards we give out... As of Today, OnMyWay has saved 200 Lives... We wish you the best of luck in the future.
Scam
Don’t waste your time. At first it gonna give you some thing cash back ok but after some time it stops calculating/tracking your driving!! It’s total scam don’t use it. They gonna say lot things like updating the app, turn on location! How I was getting all that cash back obviously it was ok while ago. It’s like when it see you are getting a lot of cash back it stops tracking. Everything is updated. No excuse. But yes you gonna get some cash back for a some time for sure then it gonna stop so be ready for that…

Great app with good customer service
I have been using this app for about 2 months right now. I have only ever had on issue with the app. The issue was they accidentally sent my payment to the wrong account because of a misspelled name. They were very prompt about getting it fixed and have sent me my payment. This app is awesome and I am very impressed with the customer service.

Getting Cash and Helping to Save Lives…
I always keep my OnMyWay app open. If I’m on the phone I don’t get to track my miles which means I don’t get to earn money. Sometimes the reception is not good and my miles are not recorded but that is not the apps fault. Already using it a couple times for cash back on gas purchases was awesome. My brother believed it was a scam and I showed him my Venmo account and showed bothEntries of four dollars for the 2-8 gallons I purchased. I drive a small car only holds 8 gallon. thanks again OnMyWay.

Unpaid
Well, I at first liked this app beings it stated an in the videos. Thanks “On My Way” and people stopping here and there getting all kinds of drinks and foods for free or in a matter of speaking that is. Due to the fact that “On My Way” paid out. It doesn’t and in which case is really getting to me, or as well annoying my as well. I was or could figure it would be a lot better and payouts to your PayPal account. However it gives that choice and option to do so. But nothing STILL almost a month or better and I am NOT very happy on or with this app as also, you have to stay off your phone as well. Granted I am also an Uber driver and times I am not ubering. I only get a chump change in which nothing ever comes to your account. What’s the purpose of having this app made or useful if your not getting paid in your PayPal account if it’s asking for your PayPal account. Very sad app.
