Rewards need Location, which doesn’t work

The rewards need your location to show you rewards, but updating your location in app, in system settings, or deleting and retrying does not fix this. Waste your time with this app if you want. You’re better off setting a timer with your phone face down and if you don’t look at it you get a couple of skittles.

Points?

The app works fine but since I live in the US I can’t redeem points. I don’t really see the point of using the app if I can’t redeem points.

Great concept, but please add more countries

Love the concept! Downloaded this and not even a student but distracted way too often and pick up my phone - trying to break the habit. Would love if the points were redeemable in my location (U.S.) not to mention other countries as well,
