### 3/5 — Luna in Harrisburg Pa

*2026-08-28, version 6.64.0*

Please include since Mechanicsburg location is on!

### 3/5 — Tips not based on subtotal

*2026-08-10, version 6.61.0*

Only used once so far. Was nervous to use the first time but thankfully the server knew exactly what I was talking about when I asked to pay via InKind! Only annoyance was that the tip was not calculated based on subtotal- not sure what it was based on but it ended up being a little bit more than the 20% I had selected. I’ll have to double check the amounts manually next time.

### 2/5 — Restaurant Didn’t Accept

*2026-08-09, version 6.61.0*

A restaurant I went to for the second time advertised $10 using this app, but when I got there there was no way to pay through inKind.  Caveat emptor.

### 2/5 — Good idea but be careful

*2026-07-25, version 6.60.0*

Overall it’s a solid app for its kind. Though I unfortunately got scammed a bit today by an unclear system. It says that if you pre-fill your wallet with $500 you get a 25% bonus. Which sounds great, so I did it.  

But when I went to pay the check, I found out that you can’t use the money you spent and still get cash back from the check itself, nor can you use any other discounts or offers. So basically I laid out $500 to get a 5% discount over what I already had (most of the restaurants I was looking at offer 20% back).  

It’s still not a terrible deal, but it doesn’t inspire confidence in how they do business to find out that way.

### 4/5 — Antonio and the chef were great!

*2026-07-18, version 6.59.0*

Excellent service!

### 1/5 — Two issues

*2026-06-30, version 6.57.0*

This app is awful. I went through the process of doing my order and when I got to the payment part and selected my credit card, it auto filled an incorrect zip and expiration date on my card. When I tried to edit the zip I could but it wouldn’t allow me to edit the expiration date. I couldn’t even see what it said because the key pad would cover it and there was no slash option. I then tried to go back to just enter a different method of payment and the app shut down abruptly. This happened three times, all the while my card has three pending orders but the restaurant didn’t get any order. Thanks for making me approve all the cookies before allowing me to use this piece of junk app. Now you get to track this very unhappy customer.

### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

*2026-06-28, version 6.57.0*

This has to be THE BEST app I’ve ever used!!!….not sure how this  is even possible but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Getting a kickback for doing something I was gonna do anyway is AWESOME 😂…🙌🏾🙌🏾

### 5/5 — Best dining app!

*2026-06-28, version 6.57.0*

I really love using InKind to get ideas about where to go for dinner. The app is so easy to use and links to reservation sites. But the best part is seeing available credits when paying a bill and also earning new credits!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-06-28, version 6.57.0*

I receive a lot of cash back using this app and I’m a big fan. The stores to choose from have great options for food.

### 5/5 — Want something tasty?!

*2026-06-27, version 6.57.0*

I honestly don’t even know where to start, the lamb the lamb thee lamb! Juicy and you can taste the fire with all of the deep spices! Get the hummus with the lamb addition! Get the lamb wrap! Get the wings!!! And get the baklava bowl! ! High quality food and experience plus ambiance 10/10!!!!

### 1/5 — Didn’t work, declined all my credit cards

*2026-08-28, version 6.64.0*

My second time using it after I had 20 dollars of credit, all my cards and Apple Pay were declined when they were working for everything else. They have some issues with merchant processing which leaves a sour taste in my mouth

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2026-08-14, version 6.62.0*

Promoted on restaurant’s order online page as a discount for providing an email and receiving marketing materials. Required phone and app installation as well. On install found that inKind doesn’t even work if you are ordering online for pickup.

### 1/5 — No tracking or live support

*2026-08-12, version 6.61.0*

I tried the inKind app, and after placing the order, I couldn’t find a way to track it manually. Also, the fees are too high per purchase. I couldn’t find any acknowledgment in the app for the delivery of my order and could not find any support.

### 1/5 — Spamming text messages

*2026-08-11, version 6.61.0*

Started spamming my phone number with marketing messages. I never subscribed or agreed to this. In the app notifications were already off. Despicable behavior. Deleted account and uninstalled app. Never using again. Regret ever giving them money.

### 1/5 — Misleading!

*2026-08-09, version 6.61.0*

This doesn’t work if they don’t take orders over the phone or have a pay at restaurant option for take out. Also ad I saw for it was $25 back but it was on $75 total - hate companies that use manipulation like that.

### 1/5 — Getting worse and worse since launch

*2026-07-26, version 6.60.0*

I have been steady user of this app. First they separate the use of reward and inkind cash(meaning you cannot use both to pay one bill). Now they separate “Cash” and “Cash Back”. 
I am fed up with this garbage. I’m done with inkind

### 1/5 — App issues and doesn’t allow you to Pay!

*2026-07-25, version 6.60.0*

App won’t allow you to use your inKind cash and then pay the remaining balance in my experience! This is terrible and needs to be fixed!

### 1/5 — BEWARE!!!

*2026-07-21, version 6.59.0*

This app/payment option is a scam!  I was charged a $9 fee to pay my $35 restaurant bill.  What a joke!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2026-07-13, version 6.58.0*

I have tried using this app twice to save money on meals. I order the food, I get the bill, I type it into the app, I select Apple Pay, the transaction goes through, and an error occurs. There is no way for me to get credit for the transaction, and I end up paying full price. Uninstalled.

### 1/5 — I use google

*2026-07-10, version 6.58.0*

Apple is too difficult for a senior citizen

### 5/5 — Sher Kiley

*2026-08-19, version 6.62.0*

The Corque Solvang

### 5/5 — Good selections

*2026-08-18, version 6.62.0*

I’ve had the app for two years and am pleased to see how they constantly keep adding real good places! So worth it.

### 5/5 — A year in: great service

*2026-08-15, version 6.62.0*

Been using Inkind for about a year and have been pleasantly surprised. The app itself is flawless, but the business as a whole is something we support and the discounts are legitimate. We wait until Black Friday and get a 40-50% discount on credits, and then use them slowly throughout the year. Works well

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-07-15, version 6.58.0*

What a deal. Beautiful app & user friendly. Great job! 👏👏👏

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-07-01, version 6.57.0*

If you’re lucky enough to to have InKind restaurants nearby, then this is essential. The 20% cash back  and the promotions are fantastic.

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2026-06-30, version 6.57.0*

Lots of great restaurants with more and more coming online highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Restaurant inKind

*2026-06-29, version 6.57.0*

InKind has made it incredibly simple to settle my dining and or bar tab.
I don’t have to have fluid cash on my person - it has truly simplified my life.

### 5/5 — BEST FOOD APP

*2026-06-29, version 6.57.0*

It’s literally like having free money to pay for food.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly good

*2026-06-28, version 6.57.0*

Honestly, I signed up because there was a good offer but I’ve stayed because I love the money back.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-06-28, version 6.57.0*

Love Savings money at nice restaurants!!!
