It’s helped me find so many discounts and coupons, I feel like this beats any coupon app out there

### 1/5 — All content is paid advertisements - SCAM

*2025-05-27, version 2.2.6*

None of the content in this app is genuine. Only ads. Dishonest.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2025-03-25*

When I downloaded this, it was because I was given the premium version as a gift. It was a well designed app, and had some pretty good deals. I didn’t download every app, but I didn’t feel like any of them were scams or downright awful.

Now, they’ve redesigned the app, gotten rid of the premium version (which I don’t really care about I guess but if someone actually paid for that I assume they’d be upset), and all the apps are basically scams. There’s a ton of pseudoscience apps, and overpriced AI garbage.

It’s like they don’t even care about what gets put on their featured list anymore. I could forgive them if they simply pushed out a bad redesign (even if it brought a unique UI into a cheap interface littered with clip-art esque pictures of Santa), but it’s they clearly have lowered their standards and don’t care about their reputation.

I have uninstalled this app after an enjoyable 3 years or so… hate to see it go down this way
