### 1/5 — Extremely buggy

*2025-04-04*

I’ve walked nearly 57,000 steps since downloading the app, and have only earned 9 centz.  The intro says that each step earns .01 centz (meaning 100 steps should earn 1 cent), and that the app works even when closed.  In reality, you must have the app open and active in order to earn centz for the steps you walk (it will pull your step data from your health app while closed, but won’t award centz).  In addition to this, the centz calculator is extremely buggy: I started out with 9 centz this morning and earned 4 centz today (for 2,500 steps 😕).  But it’s still showing my total centz as 9 (the calculator says I earned 6 steps this week, and 4 steps today).  
You have to use the augmented reality feature to collect bonuses from the collection points, which is slow, glitchy, and uses up battery life.  There is no way to turn it off.  
Customer support is non-existent—Niantic doesn’t even list it as one of their apps on their website.  
I would have thought this one would at least be up to the quality standard of their other location tracking games, if simplified, but it’s not.

### 2/5 — Lookin pretty bad so far...

*2025-03-21*

Just downloaded the app and can't even buy the welcoming ticket bundle for $2.99 they have going now-it's ridiculous; some welcome-and not to mention, everything else feels glitchy about the app. I'll leave it with two stars now in fairness because I haven't been able to test all the other features properly to get a gauge on how quickly you can earn on this app, but honestly, this app is starting to feel like it's more trouble than it's worth-and from what I can telI, if you're going off step points alone, it takes at least a month just to reach the five dollar gift cards. Eh.. think I'm good for the moment till there's been some improvement with earning scale and bugs.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-02-14, version 3.1.7*

Everytime you redeem a gift card it doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Loved at first and then very disappointed

*2025-01-03*

I have supported this app before it even became Centavizer and was a tottally different name. I had tons of point on the app before this one and when they updated to this I lost everything. So I just kept it moving and building points and winning gift cards which I loved.  The first few paid out. This literally gave me a reason to want to open the app multiple times per day and I looked forward to it.  Later on down the line I had acquired a good bit of points and gift cards. The gift cards from then on never loaded and it said if you put your email in it would contact you when they did and never happened. Plus I wind multiple 5$ Starbucks cards which never even showed in my vault. Not to mention the 60,000 points I’ve acquired and now can not use. Was heartbroken after finding this out and felt like I was robbed of so much precious time and effort.  I have not deleted the app yet hoping I would find a solution or they would get there stuff together. It’s been months and months.  If you guys get this message please tell me what I can do to rectify this situation for a veteran consumer and customer. I’d highly appreciate that.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2024-12-10*

Do not waste your time with this app! I played it for awhile and it did pay out a couple of gift cards but it hasn’t allowed me to redeem a gift card in over 6 months and now the gift cards I did win are just gone from my app. Spend your time on other apps that are actually legit and pay you for your time. This app is a scam!

### 1/5 — Fixed your problem

*2024-11-10, version 3.0*

Redemption not working. Gift cards not showing up.  Emailed them and still no answer.  Watching video to enter a contest the button is not clicking.  Waypoints not working and others stuff hope they fixed or up the app.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time. App Not working

*2024-11-08*

Don’t let them have your data. You never actually get giftcards. My app hasn’t worked in weeks. I accidentally deleted a gc and no one has responded to me when I reach out. Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — This app started great.. now not so sure.

*2024-11-02, version 3.0*

This app has owed me like $55 in amazon $$ for months.. Don’t waste your time on this app !!

### 1/5 — Stopped Collecting my Steps

*2024-10-04*

Just like the title says, it stopped counting my steps. Don't bother downloading this dysfunctional app.

### 1/5 — Ok

*2024-09-29, version 2.0.1*

I like the app but what I don’t like is when I use my points to get a gift card they just take my points this has happened five times until they make it right I’ll change my rating.
