Scammy

So the app is cool, but they just charge for every little thing. Then they present these rewards, I’ve gotten a lot of points but then it says you can only use one coupon per month. I have like 3000 points and am in Luang Prabang where there are only three places to go with the reward. Vientiane has much more. If there was variety in Luang Prabang that’d be fine, but this is misleading and scammy. I used the app more to get these points.

Traveler to Laos - Slow app, lots of fraud

First time traveling to Laos. I was recommended this app. Any convenience it offers is offset by slow connection, constant reloading, and lag.

The app charges fees for transactions which quickly adds up.

The app makes it easy for small merchants to rip you off. Better off holding cash, cash is king.
