## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Points not accruing

*2026-06-01*

Don’t get it. Have not received any pts even tho I have continued to scan purchases

### 1/5 — Not worth the time

*2026-03-07*

They want you to submit every shopping trip but they don’t even allow for your answers to be stored for convenience. ie you use the same form of payment every entry but you still need to answer two separate questions about that alone.  They give you 50 points a week regardless of whether you enter 1 trip or 20. You need thousands of points before you get enough for a $50 voucher. They say you can get points for surveys but in two months I’ve only seen 1 survey which makes sense since marketing surveys only work for companies when they reach a large demographic. All in all, if you want to earn money look elsewhere. If you just need busy work then this is the app for you.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-02-19*

Even if you shop every day, you only get 150 points per week. Minimum to redeem is 9,000 points for a lousy $10. Which means it would take you 60 WEEKS (14 months) to be able to redeem for $10. Don’t waste your time, it’s your most valuable resource.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-12-30*

Finished scanning all the items, entered the total and submitted but then it logged me out before it was finished submitting. Now I can’t get back in, even after changing my password

### 1/5 — Needs some fixing

*2024-04-16*

Crashes after I log in

### 1/5 — App won’t work

*2024-04-10*

Got the app and it closes out when I try to open it

### 1/5 — Bug in latest update

*2024-04-08*

Latest update has duplicated my favourites. This is really annoying as I had to delete the two duplicated stores from favourites and then add it back again….only to discover that they have been duplicated again.

### 1/5 — Nielsen Q

*2024-04-06*

the application does not work, crashes when logging in

### 2/5 — All in French

*2025-12-11*

I am new to the app and it’s all in French . I’m trying to figure out how this is and get English but absolutely no where do I see anything about changing the language

### 2/5 — Prefer old style scanner

*2025-08-07*

I prefer using Homescan scanner seemed to go faster than using my iPad

### 5/5 — Makes shopping Fun

*2026-02-21*

Easy to use and fun when I get paid to shop

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-07-01*

Pour l’instant j’aime bien j’ai hâte de voir combien de points pour recevoir un cadeau

### 5/5 — Eva’s shopping

*2025-02-12*

Very easy to use.  Quite pleased with using phone APP

### 5/5 — Scanner vs App

*2025-01-29*

Glad I made the switch from the scanner to the app!!! App is extremely easy to use and submit your purchases. The only thing I’m missing is the beep the scanner did when you scanned a barcode. Perhaps the programmers could incorporate that into the app. 🙂

### 5/5 — Ease of use

*2024-12-11*

So easy especially when you have items to unpack. 
And the download works first time!

### 5/5 — Great application

*2024-11-20*

This application is a breeze .

### 5/5 — So easy to use

*2024-05-26*

So easy to and accurate .

### 5/5 — Easy!

*2024-02-06*

The app works great and is so much easier to use!

### 5/5 — Huge upgrade to the physical home scanner

*2023-06-29*

So glad I have made the switch to using this app. It’s a hell of a lot more convenient, faster and easier than the physical home scanner. Love it.

### 3/5 — First time

*2024-11-28*

First time using the app. Too much detail required.  Method of payment & birth dates.  Totally unnecessary for tracking shopping items
