Influenster was a really fab app - but not so good now.
Update
So for the last year when I get a notification on my iPhone it won’t play sound - so I miss any offer unless I’m actually on the phone - this is an app problem as I have changed phones and it still doesn’t make a sound (all other apps do) - it is set to sound in all areas it should be - I even took it to an Apple shop where they confirmed it was the Influenster app causing the problem- I have contacted Influenster and when they finally answer after many weeks, it isn’t ever resolved- this is incredibly frustrating!
I’ve been using this app for a few years now and I have been sent some amazing things to test - I love being able to leave honest reviews that hopefully help others.

A Long-Time User Who Feels Forgotten
My experience with Influenster started in 2018, and for many years I absolutely loved this app. I received products, tried them, and always made an effort to leave honest and detailed reviews.
However, I feel that over the past two years, the app has changed significantly. It seems that people are now given priority simply because they have a large number of followers, rather than also valuing those of us who have been here for years, creating content and leaving genuine reviews from the beginning.
It’s honestly very disappointing to see users with 5K, 10K, or 20K followers receiving amazing opportunities, while those of us who have been part of Influenster for many years and don’t have a huge following are left with very few options to claim, often products we aren’t even interested in.
I understand that brands want to work with creators, but Influenster started as a platform where real consumer opinions truly mattered. I hope you can bring that back and place more value on experience, quality, and honest reviews—not just follower count. I would love to feel that my years of participation and effort are valued again.

taking away completed marks
This app used to be really nice and a good way to grow your content- but it recently has been giving me big issues, and I can no longer complete tasks. I had 3-4 products I spent a lot of time making tiktoks for, they showed as approved and completed for MONTHS, (never took them down or privated) and are no showing as incomplete preventing me from using the app. I have contacted support and have done everything they told me such as reconnecting my account, and it has not been fixed. It makes me really sad because I loved the app, but may have to delete now :(

My Favourite Review Community 😍
Influenster feels like an online friend sharing honest opinions. I love reading genuine reviews to look up to and it’s given me a useful hobby of testing and sharing products. Highly recommended.
Notifications no longer working for long time user.
Support requests go unanswered. I no longer receive product campaign notifications through the app or by email. I have to constantly open the app to see if anything new has come. All of my settings are correct, so I’m at a loss. No response from support after weeks of waiting. I have been with Influenster for years now. I would really love to see this fixed.
