### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible

*2026-03-16, version 2.7.4*

This is the absolute worst app I have ever used. Between creating an account, having to verify it, and sign in a thousand times, then getting your account locked before you can even upload your gift card. What a joke. Avoid at all costs

### 1/5 — Unable to use App

*2026-03-13, version 2.7.4*

I was given a Gyft card for a local restaurant (not a chain or big name on their list). I have not been able to use it. Their app did not allow me to Rate them nor how to call for Support.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-02-23, version 2.7.4*

Sign up experience is horrible. 

App or website doesn’t allow you to check balances or view supported gift cards prior to installing the app and signing up. 

After I went through that trouble it turns out it didn’t support my gift card anyway. I paid nothing and still feel I’m owed a refund for dealing with this.

### 2/5 — Poor UI and Balance Check

*2026-02-13, version 2.7.4*

I’ve tried to use this app to support local merchants and the UI and balance check support is nonexistent. Poorly designed and thought out.

### 1/5 — Worst app to date

*2026-01-18, version 2.7.4*

I spent 1/2 hour just trying to enter one gift card into this and got nowhere. Had to continually re log in.  Then I was locked out for too many log in attempts. Very poorly written app. I’d rather carry 20 gift cards with me then try this app again.

### 1/5 — Absolute scam

*2025-12-07, version 2.7.4*

The gift cards never work anywhere. Total garbage. Avoid at all costs.

### 5/5 — Great App -

*2025-11-22, version 2.7.4*

I just ordered a gift card from target and it worked amazing. They do need to update the graphics on the app and that more people know about it cause not too many people. I don’t know about this app. It’s amazing about every gift card online.

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2025-10-26, version 2.7.4*

Absolutely awful. Bought a $25 speedway gift card and it was never sent. Tired to resend it multiple times and it never worked. Then I called customer service, the hung up on me, called again and they gave me a terrible answer. This is a complete scam and do NOT buy anything from here.

### 1/5 — Non functional

*2025-09-14, version 2.7.3*

Can’t even log in. This entire app is a scam.

### 1/5 — Absolute Scam

*2025-09-12, version 2.7.3*

DO NOT EVEN TRY! The app has all power to intake your funds, gift cards and contact lists but WILL do everything to stop redeeming the gift card balances. #1) App says I’m outside the country and can’t login. Not true. When I finally get the account login, the app functionality works to purchase or import gift cards. #2) However the redeem option doesn’t work and says I’m outside the country. Terrible! 
#3) Their help buttons do not work plus there’s no phone number mentioned here in the app. I had to go to TrustPilot.com for their contact information and other customers’ experiences.
