### 5/5 — Easy and Great Recognitions!

*2025-06-02, version 5.0.2*

The Nectar app has been really easy to use at our company so far. I like that it’s just as easy to use on the app as it is on desktop. Being able to recognize my coworkers has been easy! I also like the notifications I get on my phone when I receive recognition. The redemptions have been super easy, too. I LOVE this app!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-05-23, version 5.0.2*

Really appreciate being to recognize my coworkers for their efforts and this app makes that simple and meaningful!

### 5/5 — Best Employee Recognition App

Simple, intuitive, and easy.

### 5/5 — Smooth experience

One of the better HR apps I’ve used. Very smooth and easy to use

### 5/5 — So easy to use!

*2025-04-25, version 5.0.2*

Nectar makes it easy to feel appreciated at work and stay in the loop with what is happening.

### 5/5 — Best culture building app!

*2025-04-04, version 5.0.2*

The app is super intuitive—sending recognition takes just seconds, and I love that it integrates with our company values.

What really stands out is how fun and meaningful it feels to give (and receive) shoutouts. The ability to redeem points for rewards is a great bonus, but honestly, the culture boost is even more valuable.

Highly recommend Nectar to any company looking to improve morale, engagement, and team connection!

### 5/5 — Great app, definitely the reason I chose Nectar

*2025-03-18, version 5.0.2*

Amongst all the other platforms for recognition and rewards, no other platform had an app like Nectar. This was pivotal in my decision to choose them over everyone else.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-02-17, version 5.0.1*

I love the nectar app because it allows me to send shout outs when I’m not near my computer. No issues and works very well.

### 5/5 — Love the recognition and perks!

*2025-02-04, version 5.0.1*

There’s so much value packs into this app. I love the appreciation I get from my coworkers, and the perks and rewards I get for going above and beyond.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2025-02-04, version 5.0.1*

I love using the Nectar app. Refreshingly it has all the capabilities the website offers and it’s so convenient in the app. Highly recommend it to anyone that uses Nectar.

### 5/5 — Healthy Culture

Such a great tool to foster healthy employee culture

### 5/5 — Great App, Easy to Use

*2024-10-02, version 5.0.0*

I love the functionality. Smooth experience

### 5/5 — Great Company App

*2024-09-30, version 5.0.0*

Never heard of this app before this job, the job I am at is very informative and amazing. They provided this app for us and the creators did a great job! Especially so that our HR team asks us what we think should be a good challenge so we can receive more points! 

I’ve noticed in other places I have worked employees don’t feel recognized for their hard work and sometimes it can be hard for them to keep improving and a vast majority of people using this app would say it’s helped them feel more confident in their work place than other places they have worked. It’s a great app and I highly recommend for companies that are looking to improve their recognition for their employees!

### 5/5 — Culture comes from within!

*2024-09-23, version 5.0.0*

I have loved using the Nectar App on my iPhone. It has been so great to keep up with my coworkers through the shoutouts I send, receive, and see from others. I am all for employee recogniton and Nectar is the best employee recognition I have used!

### 5/5 — Great changes made

*2024-08-08, version 5.0.0*

The new updates are awesome! So many new features are accessible on both my desktop and my mobile version. Love getting to use Nectar!

### 5/5 — Best Recognition App

*2024-08-07, version 4.3.12*

### 5/5 — Constantly improving!

*2024-08-07, version 4.3.12*

I love that the new update now includes discounts! It’s the UI is always improving and the app gets better and better with each update. So convenient to have access Nectar on the go!

### 1/5 — Worst app ever!

*2026-07-31, version 5.0.2*

Was working until today.  I unstall it!  I wasn’t happy when I tired to redeem my points for something like I suppose to. Please fix these problems!

### 1/5 — Always buggy

*2024-11-26, version 5.0.1*

Every time I try to use the app it has me sig in again, even if I had just barely signed in. It also keeps saying new device detected even though I’ve had my current phone for over a year. And then if I try to log in more than twice it locks me out saying I’ve attempted to log in too many times…. Make it make sense…..

### 1/5 — Great Platform. Atrocious App

*2023-08-11*

We love Nectar. They need to pull the app from the store though and just tell everyone they only have desktop until they can get a functional app together. 

There are a few missing features, but the main issue is the consistent predictable crashing. Everyone at our company that uses an iPhone can’t scroll past more than 3-5 shoutouts without the app crashing. It’s also a really long crash which is weird. 

Anyway, stellar platform, just pull the app.

### 1/5 — Cannot attach images to challenges

*2023-05-06, version 4.0.5*

With the new update, upload an image option for a challenge does not show up anymore.

### 2/5 — Great when it works

*2024-01-31, version 4.3.4*

Great when it works, but too many times it won’t let me login because the Auth Token expired and you can’t login from any device, incognito or not. Sorry coworkers, I really wanted to send you points but they won’t let me.

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2023-08-18, version 4.1.3*

I was excited to see what’s in store but Everytime I click on a reward the app closes out. How unfortunate

### 3/5 — I can’t see the comments

*2022-06-02*

The app notifies you when someone post a comment. When you select it, then it pops back to the top of the comments so that you have to scroll through everything to find the original note and then look at the comments. Annoying to say the least. I’ve stopped trying to look them up. Very disappointed. I gave it 3 stars because it is otherwise a good idea but the app needs improvement.

### 4/5 — Pretty good!

*2024-03-29, version 4.3.4*

I love Nectar and think the platform is amazing! The app has had a ton of improvements over the last few months, but there are still a few missing features. If would be amazing if swag and Amazon were available in the app!!

### 4/5 — Please update

*2022-10-22, version 3.0.0*

Great app! But does not work well with my phone through the app. I’ve been having to use the browser.

### 5/5 — Essential for Team Culture (and Great Swag!)

*2026-06-12, version 5.0.2*

This app is hands-down one of the best tools our company has ever implemented.
On the surface, the recognition and rewards feature is incredibly fun. The points add up quickly, and the rewards catalog has endless options. I’ve already redeemed my points for some swag and even a new ping pong paddle! 🏓
But the real value of Nectar goes way deeper than the rewards. It genuinely builds team comradery and lifts our culture. I’ve made it a habit to send shoutouts as often as possible because I've seen firsthand how much it means to people. It’s an instant way to let your teammates know that their hard work is noticed and that they actually matter.
In fact, the culture of recognition on this app has become so second nature to me that I catch myself trying to send "shoutouts" to people in my everyday life outside of work, before remembering it’s just a work thing!
If you want to boost morale and create a workplace where people feel genuinely valued, Nectar is the way to go. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Nectar is amazing

*2025-09-11, version 5.0.2*

Having a good company culture really changes things for me at work. For me having an app like this really takes my company to the next level. Being able to recognize others and being recognized yourself really makes me feel valued and keeps me motivated to do great things! My company has a great culture/environment thanks to this app. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to improve their company’s culture, loyalty, and energy.

### 5/5 — Top culture builder for businesses!

*2025-06-26, version 5.0.2*

This app and platform are a cheat code to building culture, helping teams grow together in a sustainable interpersonal way. The customizability in how a company can set things up to fit their needs and incentives is amazing. UI and UX is consumer-grade, unlike a lot of B2B systems that look like they still live in 2010. Love the new comms feature!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app and company!

*2025-06-14, version 5.0.2*

This app is really great and it’s always being improved! Nectar is definitely the best company for employee recognition out there. The app and website are really high quality and you can tell they care a lot about making people feel valued at their work! I’ve only recently started using it but I already feel the difference compared to my previous companies / jobs! A+ experience for sure!

### 5/5 — love!!
