Won’t open

The app won’t open.

No longer a good app

I have used this before and no problems. I cashed out in November 2025 and it’s February 2026. I still haven’t got my payment that was supposed to take 10 days to process. Repeatedly emailed them with no response.

So slow

I feel like I am back to dial up internet. I have no other issues with my other apps, but the delays and waits are so odd!!!!

They wont cash you out

I used this app for several years to get enough to meet the $20 threshold. Now that I’ve met it & requested the cash, the app suddenly has error message. I emailed support, they said they were working on jt. That was 2 months ago, still nothing. It’s a waste of time.

I think this app closed up shop

Still cant get into my account yet it lets me make a new account…. My points are on the one they wont let me into

App will not open

Cannot sign in. Keep getting connection errors.

No longer works

The app is no longer working.

I think this app closed up shop

Not working for a long time and no signs it ever will

It’s a slog (and feels like a social experiment)

Ugh, even before the app suddenly stopped working, I always dreaded having to log my purchases on this app. Other rebate apps are able to figure out which items were purchased by using OCR on the receipt text itself. But makeena requires you to physically scan the barcode from each and every single item you purchased. I ended up only ever launching this app to scan the more valuable offers, and left any other items I may have purchased that would have qualified unscanned. It just wasn’t worth it. I mean, I get the concept, loyalty rewards etc, but it’s extremely user unfriendly with the slog of having to scan everything individually. And then they have 2 categories of scanability and sometimes it’ll say you don’t have to scan this item. UGH!!! On top of that, offers are often limited to certain varieties of products, so you have to remember which ones will qualify, and THEN they’ll only allow one item variety per receipt to qualify for an offer. No buying multiples! A rebate app shouldn’t require this much brainpower.

The $20 minimum for cashing out is also unkind. It encouraged me to not cash out once I got past $20, because it would have been another uphill struggle to collect another $20. (And now see where this got me. Their app has gone the way of the dodo, and all my frustrating labor has been wasted.). I do seriously think it was a social experiment. How long would it take people to stop using the app if we make it a huge chore?

False info

On July 13 I submitted a complaint to Makeena about the app not working correctly. Sometime in the past week there was a response posted dated 5 YEARS AGO! Since I just posted it, the response can’t be from 5 years ago. I noticed the same thing on other peoples complaints. The response was so generic too. I think the app has gone belly up.

Is this app dead?

Give us all a status and my $$ and I’ll change this to a 5 star review.

Not working!

For the last two weeks or so, shortly after the US bombed Iran, my Makeena app has stopped working. It says something about a server error with the host. I deleted it and downloaded it again and I still can’t get in. What is going on? I have some money earned and I don’t want to start over. It takes way too long to earn $20 to cash out.

Doesn’t Work

Just downloaded the app and was not even able to sign up. Kept getting error messages.

App Down for weeks

Just cashed out money , never received it , now app hasn’t worked in weeks , awesome

No longer working

I have used this app for years and can no longer sign in. I get an error message. I hope they fix this.

No longer works

I’ve been using the Makeena app for years. I have really enjoyed it as there aren’t many apps that give rebates for the better for you items which are generally more expensive. But over the last month or two I just continue to get an error when trying to use the app. Something about the server cannot be found. I see a few other reviews stating the same thing so they really need to address this.

App down??

Has this app folded? For days, I keep getting an error message saying no internet connection but I clearly do have a connection.

Might be a goodbye

I used to love this app, was so easy to use. For the last cashout, I had to email them after a month of waiting in order to receive it. After I received my cashout, my app just decides to not even open. It says that either my connection appears offline or host server cannot be found. I redownloaded it and still the same. My phone is up to date and no issues with any other app. I still have money to cash out on there so I feel jipped.

App down for days

Has the app folded? Says “no internet connection” when I open the app, yet I am clearly connected to internet. Would like to cash out my funds.

Worked at first, but now, it’s always glitching!

This app produces error messages whenever I scan a product, then forces me to enter the UPC (fine), but then the receipt takes forever to upload, or doesn’t upload at all. Support is no help!

New complaint (06/26/2025): The app won’t even let me sign in without producing error messages about ‘no network connection’ or ‘a server with a specified connection cannot be found’. I have offloaded, reinstalled, deleted, restarted my phone and reinstalled again. Nothing is working!
