Awful discounts

Discounts are dreadful compared to other platforms.

The app is clunky and not very user friendly.

Months between updates and still the most basic bugs remain

What validation testing is done with updates? Bad developers, bad validation testers. Presumably bad requirements too. It’s like this app is written by one person, in their bedroom, in their spare time, as a hobby project

Can’t remove payment cards.

After having searched for something, “coffee” for examine, you then select a result, if you select to go back you would expect to go back to the list of search results, but you instead get taken to the initial landing page of the app

After 7 months since the last update they have updated the app so menu text isn’t missing. Crazy that it took so long.

Version 1.0.20. Months between updates and still the most basic bugs remain

What validation testing is done with updates? Bad developers, bad validation testers. Presumably bad requirements too.

Can’t seem to be able to remove payment cards.

Text is blank / missing for some menu options.

Why can’t I favourite pages for the instant vouchers I want to buy?

Nothing you can’t find online anyway

A lot of misleading titles on the offers. Discounts are virtually non existent

App operates like it requires an update

The app is good and operable, but when you navigate, within a search and press the back arrow, it takes you back to the main menu every time. Which means to have to search again, rather than return to your search list. It is frustrating, but also very much a first world problem.
Conclusion: concept is correct, delivery needs work.

Easy to use

Easy to use and helpful that I can use it when I’m out and about for an impulsive shop

Awful experience

Poor app that has offers that don’t materialise. Giftcards don’t load and you’re left wondering where your money has gone. If your cashback sits there too long they take it from you.

Offers have got worse and big brands keep leaving their platform. Feels like brands don’t want to work with the new company.

Hi 👋 Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you feel the app is poor. Once you've successfully paid for an order, there is an option to save your card. However, we recognise that we could improve the visibility of this, so we're working on making this feature more obvious to enhance the experience. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Not optimised for household use

Intrinsically this is a good app but there are practical limitations when using the same account for a household, eg account holder and spouse. Only one email is possible to configure to receive instant vouchers which is impractical when 2 using the app. Also, the instant vouchers take too long to arrive in the app, often needing to close app and restart to become visible. A bit painful to use

Hi 👋 Thanks for sharing your review! We totally hear your frustration and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Our service is primarily designed for solo account holders, so while you can share your account by accessing it via the app on two devices, there's currently only the option to link one email address to your account at a time. You can change the email address in the 'My Account Settings' area before placing an order so it gets sent to a different individual/mailbox, but we appreciate that's not always practical. We've captured your feedback and will consider this as part of our next phase of updates. Thanks again!

Great but why hide the wallet ??

Have been using for a while and very easy to purchase and keep track of vouchers purchased.

Recently the Wallet moved from front screen to under the account menu which is why I gave 4 stars this time. Would be better if on front screen again but that’s my only criticism.

Response from developer

Hi 👋 We hear you and appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us. We've recently been working on improving the experience of the app to make the wallet easier to get to and will be releasing an updated version of the app soon. Watch this space! Update: Hi! 👋 We're pleased to let you know that we've released an app update today which includes some navigational changes to make it easier to get to the wallet. You'll now see a wallet icon on the homepage which takes you straight there. Thanks again for sharing your feedback, we really appreciate it.

Basket

How can I clear the basket from the app?

Response from developer

Hi 👋 Thanks for your review. To remove items from your basket, you can tap the 'x' icon for each of the items in your basket to remove them. If you're still having trouble clearing your basket, please email us at help@boostworks.co.uk so we can support you further. Hope that helps!

Awful service, awful support

Watch out when you leave your employer, they rip you off and nick your cash

Code did not work and refund refused

Not sure if Boostworks or the retailer is to blame, but the code I purchased on the app did not work on the retailer website. Boostworks then refused to provide a refund. Won’t be using them again.

Response from developer

Not great since new app launched

Can’t save my payment card for future use and vouchers always seem to be out of stock, which is weird for an electronic voucher.

Response from developer

Hi! 👋 Thanks for your review and feedback. We're very sorry to hear you've had a poor experience and we'll take this valuable feedback on board. You should be given the option to save your payment card once you've placed an order. Upon ordering an item, you should see a 'Save this card for future orders' button. If it's not working, please reach out to us at help@boostworks.co.uk so we can support you further.

Good app bugs need squashing

Good app but please squash the bug that means every time I add my debit card it doesn’t save!!!
