### 1/5 — Lost money, didn’t get paid

*2026-07-23*

I did my first shop to make $8, but had to spend $25 that they stated would be fully reimbursed. Nothing came in so I sent them an email. They tried placing the blame on the original poster, but ironically I was almost immediately paid the $8, still not the $25 though. I reached out to the original poster and got no response. I messaged prestoshopper and they sent me a message right away placing the blame on anyone else. I did as I was instructed and lost money.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-07-11*

I was not paid for a shop because an employee was looking at my camera when I took the pic of the counter. When you take a pic of a counter at a fast food restaurant, of course employees are going to be looking at you. Would Ipsos rather have five customers standing in the way of the counter, so I can’t get a good view of it? Nowhere in the instructions does it say that your shop will be rejected if an employee is looking at you when you take a picture. iPods is run by a bunch of Libtard DEI fools

### 3/5 — Better Mystery Shopping Services

*2026-06-24*

I’ve been a mystery shopper for 5 years and have never had the displeasure of performing an assignment to not be paid (whether due to a rejection or other reason). That is until I started working with Presto. 

The first few shops went fine, until I performed a shop with a technical error. I reached out to support over this error, and the initial response was, “You did not complete that section. The shop has expired now.” I’m unsure if they even read my support request, or if it even reached a real person. The request stated that the section was marked as incomplete despite full completion.

Edit: I have changed my review to 3 stars. My issue was finally worked out and I was paid. I appreciate that the issue was solved. I am, however, not willing to give full marks due to this error occurring in the first place alongside the slow customer support responses.

### 1/5 — This will cost you money, not make you money!!

*2026-06-22, version 2.0.62*

The Presto surveys will add in questions not in the instructions that they can then use to reject your survey. Since it is reimbursement only you are then out the money you spent for the purchase. Use the actual shopper sites (Sassie, APC, etc) to get legitimate surveys that don’t scam you into spending money.

Stay away from any shops listed by Presto, and save yourself time by uninstalling the app and deleting your account. It isn’t worth being burned and out money due to a glitch caused by their system, as some shops can be super expensive!

The app’s support is NOT good despite what other reviews may say. Definitely bottom 2 out of the 10 companies I work with often.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t load.

*2026-04-17, version 2.0.42*

It just says “Loading the survey…” forever. Probably because I have Lockdown Mode on.

### 1/5 — Finds any Reason to Reject Shop

*2026-04-14, version 2.0.42*

This site finds absolutely any reason to reject your shop. I am a shopper across multiple mystery shopping sites and have always gotten great scores and payment. This shop is really strict and will find any reason to reject the shop. I am deleting this app and sticking to my usual shopper sites.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-04-11, version 2.0.42*

If you are looking to make an extra buck this is it!! More consistent then income then other apps

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-04-03, version 2.0.42*

It's so bad they are using shills to write positive reviews. I am actually using the website instead of the app. That's how useless they've made it. It's really funny that they're blaming Apple for this bucket of tripe.

### 1/5 — New update

*2026-03-30, version 2.0.32*

Its use to be easy to navigate and now it’s just trash!!
