Frustrating! ### 2/5 — Needs Scanner *2013-09-05, version 2.0.2* Needs a scanner. Don't want to spend an hour typing in codes. ### 4/5 — Very good! *2012-12-28, version 2.0.1* Perfect! But maybe add a scanner? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working well *2019-04-27, version 2017.04.11* It’s not working well because it doesn’t check your balance and something keeps popping up that says it is having trouble communicating with the server ### 1/5 — Scam *2018-11-19* Doesn’t open ### 1/5 — No longer works *2017-01-22, version 2016.11.19* Balance lookup does not work!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-12-30, version 2016.11.19* This app is slow and doesn't work. Tried to look up the balance on a Academy card and a Target card, neither one worked. ### 1/5 — Tried & Failed *2016-01-11, version 2.1.1* I tried three different gift cards (from vendors on their list) with no success. I ended up calling the phone number on the gift cards to get the balances. ### 1/5 — Does not Work *2014-07-15, version 2.1.1* Tried this app. Entered information for card and waited 5 minutes and it was still searching. ### 1/5 — Important *2014-01-02, version 2.1.1* Does NOT have American Express or Visa ### 1/5 — Does not work on Safeway. *2013-12-19, version 2.1.1* Will not work on Safeway cards. Will not even look them up. ### 1/5 — Thumbs Down *2013-06-14, version 2.0.2* I was really excited to find a gift card balance app with such positive reviews! Unfortunately, after putting one gift card into the app, it was refusing to download the information and balance about my card. It also exited itself out once while I was trying to load the card information. Waste of my time! ### 1/5 — No rating because it's not working... *2013-05-17, version 2.0.2* Servers down? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice little app *2016-12-23, version 2016.11.19* Not real pretty, but does a good job. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-10-26, version 2016.10.04* The most recent changes (the 'alternate' lookup) pretty much make it failsafe when the automatic lookup doesn't work. Never have problems getting balance anymore. ### 5/5 — I love this!! *2014-03-30, version 2.1.1* This is the best app. You should really get this app if you have a gift card for a store and if you want to know how much it costs. :D ### 5/5 — Yay! *2013-12-22, version 2.1.1* Worked well for me first time!☺️ ### 5/5 — Easy and convenient *2013-03-28, version 2.0.2* Great app- very handy when you are out. It took about 5 seconds to get my GC balance. ### 5/5 — Gift card genie *2013-03-16, version 2.0.2* This app is fantastic! So easy to use. Love it!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2013-02-21, version 2.0.2* Right away put in a few cards and it worked perfectly get the app ### 5/5 — Really Great!!! *2012-12-09, version 1.3* This is just what I was looking for and it works great! It is unfortunate not all companies have online balance lookup, but that will come in time. Perhaps you could add the ability to manually track any cards that don't allow online lookup yet. That would help a lot. Thanks for all you've done to make this a very useful app. It's very, very helpful to me. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2012-01-17* I now finally have a way to keep track of my gift card balances! I love this app. No more wasted money on my cards. Finally! ### 4/5 — Very useful *2014-07-11, version 2.1.1* I go to stores a lot and I get gift card so instead having to go threw 3 wawa gift cards finding the balance every time with that number you call. Tarylln there's a list of the gift cards they support. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
