## What is MobileBytes Loyalty?

MobileBytes version 2 is an enhancement of our iBeacon enabled loyalty app.

Scan:
MobileBytes allows you to scan a code on your guest receipt to earn loyalty points. All your points are managed in the app and automatically converted to rewards when spending levels are achieved. The more points you have the higher your reward level and the better your reward values. In participating restaurants, you can also scan a code to pay your tab directly from your phone. 

Pay your check:
When a guest is added to a ticket in a participating restaurant, the guest can pull their guest check at anytime during their meal and pay without the need to interact with the restaurant's wait staff. 

Order Ahead/Skip the Line:
In participating restaurants, MobileBytes allows you to receive the entire restaurant menu, along with your personal order history so you can immediately order or re-order your favorite meal, exactly the way you like it, in a matter of seconds.

Explore:
Discover other participating restaurants in your area where you can scan to earn points. Integrated mapping and turn-by-turn directions guide you to your next meal. MobileBytes is iBeacon enabled so restaurants can greet you when you arrive.

### 1/5 — Unfortunate

*2025-11-25*

I found it. Unfortunate. That’s such a cool idea has been taken so far as to build an app getting no seems to be willing to fix the problems or respond to the problems. People are discussing would be a good time for someone to take The idea come up with a better app that would get better reviews or at least respond to the bad reviews, looks like she says this has been going on for two years or more. 
Thanks for the informative reviews people , I will not be signing up for this app  I find these  reviews very helpful. 🫶🫶🫶

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-09-23, version 8.61*

I don’t want to use an app to pay. Let me pay in a web browser

### 1/5 — PLEASE update!

*2025-07-17*

My coffee shop uses this app and I hate it for them like I wish they would change. I don’t understand why they don’t change. This is the worst app. It’s constantly logging you out, glitching during orders, It doesn’t hold your payment information anymore. It doesn’t offer any other kind of Apple Pay or other sources of payment it’s painful so painful. I think maybe the coffee shop is using it so that we don’t get our loyalty because we just get so angry at the app we don’t even wanna use it.

### 1/5 — Not worth the effort

*2025-04-17, version 8.61*

Was not worth the effort to download and create an account. Pretty sure the app just wants your contact information and gives you just enough in return to feel there’s some value to it.

### 1/5 — Does not stay logged in

*2025-03-14, version 8.61*

Every time I use this app, it asks me to log in again. It’s annoying and something modern apps should be able to handle better.  This app is not handling sensitive information, just make it stay logged in or use Face ID.

### 2/5 — Problematic App

*2025-03-02, version 8.61*

This app is not very user friendly. It allows me to save a card on file in the app but every time I order I have to manually re-enter my card info. What’s the point of saving a card on file?

### 1/5 — Signup - nothing else

*2025-01-15, version 8.61*

Twice now I have been to central feeding grill company in Lewistown Montana trying to scan the QR code to earn rewards and nothing, took my email address but never sends me authentication email or it means to download the receipt for rewards clearly a glitch I hope but two months and it still hasn’t been fixed and of course in this electronic age there’s no human to help you!

### 1/5 — Too many steps

*2024-09-15, version 8.61*

There are too many steps to set up this app to pay my bill. I would like to be able to easily link my card in my Apple Wallet but that is not an option. It sent me two different confirmation codes to verify my account. 

I would happily use this if I could check out as a guest or at least have a Apple Wallet/Google Pay option

### 1/5 — This App Falls Short of the Bill

*2024-08-01*

From a user experience standpoint and integration with real time payments at local establishments, this app falls short of the bill. There is no integration with apple wallet and with any stored information on your phone therefore requiring manual input of every piece of information. There are TWO different points of verification - from your email and your phone number (which again, does not even auto populate correctly because it requires the numbers to be inputted without punctuation) and the process is slow and labor intensive (for an app). There are many better ways to pay for a bill - this app shouldn’t be one of them until/unless there is a major overhaul.

### 1/5 — MobileBytes app is the worst!

*2023-11-29, version 8.61*

I wrote a review about this useless app a few days ago but it’s not showing up. Hmmmm wonder why? Don’t waste your time or space on your phone for this totally useless app. Every time I try to use it I get an error message, and the section they call “Help” is no help whatsoever. Useless!
