Terrible now

This app use to be peak in before 2023 with so many good deals. Now there’s barely any places to eat/drink on the app and the deals no more good offers. Download EatClub insteadz

Listed merchant do not accept 2026

Liven’s bad reputation from 2025 got worse in 2026. Listed stores like Krispy cream, med max stop accepting.

And the customer service is also terrible. When raising issue, instead of acknowledging, they responded back; use linven when you can. Lol.

Not going to bother as app crashes, poor user interface and terrible customer service.

Delicious noodle soup

always serves the same authentic flavour, we keep coming back here, must try

List not update

I have 500+$ in credit but the shops i went to are not accepting. Please dont use Liven, save yourself from humiliation of being declined payment and worst, the shop on their list is already closed!!!! negative rating if there is such a thing!!!

Gotten worse

This app use to be much better with so many good deals. Now there’s barely any places to eat/drink on the app and the deals no more good offers. Download EatClub instead honestly.

Not intuitive / hard to work

I’m computer literate and this payment system is super complicated. Even the venue staff hate it!!

Not accepted

Spent $50 on it, tried using it on 4 seperate occasions and was told that it either wasn’t accepted or none of the staff knew how to process it.

Surcharge from the restaurant for using Liven

I’ve noticed that restaurants are charging surcharge for Liven which makes no advantage of using the app really

Borderline scam

I made an order and paid using liven but the merchant said they never received the order. Contacted the customer service and they took 3-5 days to reply. After asking for screenshots, merchants info etc and they were still not helpful in any means. This app feels like a scam to me

Apple Pay Cash Advance Fee

Just realised 4-5 dollar charge per every transaction using liven if I use my apple pay that connect to my credit card.

Be Careful! Some shops have stopped accepting LIVEN and you will lose all you bonus dollars…

EDIT: Got most of my Brandollars back as Liven Rewards so not as bad as I thought - changed rating.

Used to love LIVEN until this year…all the shops I have BRANDOLLAR for suddenly have “issues with their machine” or didn’t have a machine to accept the credit.
Its happening too often to be a coincidence.

I contacted Customer Support and they said give them 2 weeks to sort it out. Came back 2 weeks later, machine was still not working and they said no one from LIVEN contacted them. I mentioned if thats the case I’ll have to report to Liven again and suddenly, their machine “miraculously started working”.

Dont bother buying BRANDOLLARS anymore. If a shop secretly stops accepting credit, you will lose all your Bonus Dollars because LIVEN cant do much it seems. They can only refund you the remaining amount minus the bonus dollar.

So essentially you got ZERO discount the whole time.

I feel completely scammed.

No signs of life with this app

Many of the restaurants featured on the app no longer accept Liven (and apparently haven’t for months), but the app still lets you pre-pay for credit to use at them - which I unfortunately did and haven’t been able to get a refund for. The customer service is nonexistent, I haven’t been able to get hold of a real person in the 3 weeks since I raised a complaint. If you look at the other reviews, their social media, and the fact that their Melbourne office is no longer occupied, it’s not looking good.

Does not work at Rolld

Waste of money as it does not work at Rolld who promote it for brand dollars. Staff don't know about it and Liven customer service is useless - don't answer questions, just keep repeating irrelevant scripted answers. Don't waste your money.

Scam! Be careful ❗️❗️❗️

Liven used to be good but be aware! They are scam in a way. When I started with Liven, it is promised that the brand dollars will never expired and will be refunded if store close or no longer accept liven. After I bought almost $3k of brand dollars, a lot of stores now closed down or no longer accept Liven payment methods. And Liven is hiding from supporting. They will direct to ticket which only let you choose Liven rewards which almost useless as not many places accepted it now.

Awesome App Get on board and save money

Fantastic app little tricky to use but once you get the hang of it, it’s worth it.

Hidden Cost

We’ve been using this app to shop in Foodle for some time until we realized it’s actually charging us as cash advance. We ended up paying more extra then saving far less. Not to mention now we have to pay for extra interest!

Easy efficient

I can’t access my money and no support whatsoever

I’m unable to access my money that I purchased during the Black Friday sales
I was at rolld today and we spent half an hour trying to figure out the app but still didn’t work
It keeps asking to apply a code to transfer from brandollar to liven and I don’t have a code
Can’t get any assistance
please assist me in accessing my money or refund it

Great experience at Lotus Galleries

Food was full of flavor. Very nice ambiance. Service was good. Good range of dishes and drinks. Really enjoyed the steamed barramundi with ginger and shallots in particular. Highly recommended.

Misleading restaurant list

A number of restaurants listed no longer accept liven, yet it is still listed. When I contacted them about one, informing it is no longer accepting liven, liven continues to leave it on the platform as though it still does, even after many months of being informed it doesn’t take liven.
