### 1/5 — This app is dead

*2026-06-04, version 1.2.8*

Doesn’t exist anymore

### 1/5 — Can’t even sign up

*2026-05-18, version 1.2.8*

I am sure it was or even is a good app. The problem is that it will not let me sign up.

### 1/5 — I’m sure it’s great…but it sure doesn’t work!

*2025-12-08, version 1.2.8*

I can’t even get past the I putting my phone number part because if you don’t live in california it doesn’t recognize your phone number. Would’ve been nice to know that. Don’t bother wasting your time!

### 1/5 — Couldn’t even sign up

*2025-10-28, version 1.2.8*

downloaded and couldn’t even sign up?! i kept putting in my number & waiting for the text and just says “error” 🤷🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-28, version 1.2.8*

I can’t even get past the page where you input your phone number. It should not be this complicated. I kept getting a 102 server error and then it went to 102 something about blocked restricted. Makes no sense if you are going to promote an app online but it’s only for a designated state then say that.

### 2/5 — Not working/ App crashes

*2025-01-04, version 1.2.8*

Heard a lot about this app. Decided to download and it requires to sign up or create an account they both require to input you phone number for a text verification. I had input my phone number many times and haven’t received any code. So I decided to skip that part. When I did it says “all the surprise bags are sold out in your area”. I noticed my location was in Los Angeles? I clicked next to the icon to update and change my location. I don’t live in Los Angeles. And it crashes. I have attempted many times to sign up, create an account and simply view the page and it crashes many times. 
Will have to delete app as it’s not functioning and no help at all.

### 1/5 — Error 102

*2024-08-28, version 1.2.8*

Can’t sign up!

### 3/5 — Only for California

*2024-04-18, version 1.2.8*

This is only for California and if you're outside of that area it doesn't work for you

### 1/5 — Not sure why their advertising is different

*2024-02-02*

Was clothing and not food

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2024-01-25, version 1.2.8*

It has option to skip the sign up but it only shows one restaurant which is in LA but very far from my location.  I tried to sign up but it does not let me enter my last name and keeps buzzing error. No option to move to the last name section and no option to scroll down the screen. Not a very user friendly app.
