I was introduced to it and it’s provided me with an instant planned ideas that leads to awesomeness. ### 5/5 — Can’t beat it *2025-11-20, version 13.6* I have used the Pulsd app and discounts for brunches, dinners, services and events. It works easily and the discounts are remarkable. I give the entire program my highest recommendation. ### 5/5 — The best *2025-11-14, version 13.6* Been using Pulsd for years. No matter what you wanna do, there’s always a deal and it’ll show you some new places to try out. Best app ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-11-14, version 13.6* First of all this app is amazing. A real money saver I use this app for everything from dinner to spas. I’ve been to some very nice places I wouldn’t be able to afford without this app so I love it so much. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-10-24, version 13.6* Love this app. So many things to do ### 5/5 — Like groupon *2025-10-20, version 13.6* Its basically groupon for NYCers I highly recommend to anyone in the city! ### 5/5 — Great deals at Great restaurants *2025-10-08, version 13.6* You might wonder what kind of restaurants need to offer these deals!!??They have all been spectacular! ### 4/5 — Great deals *2025-09-24, version 13.6* I enjoy Pulsd because of the affordable prices and great restaurants and events/experiences around the city. The only downside is the app has glitches and the events on the app are not updated often. Nonetheless, Pulsd has great deals and is an app that I use regularly. ### 5/5 — Amazing curated cost effective events. *2025-09-08, version 13.6* Thank you for providing many cultural experiences for all to enjoy. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-06, version 13.6* This helps me to save a lot of money!! ### 5/5 — Amazing deal *2025-08-23, version 13.6* Brunch for 2 for only $55 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lies *2026-02-11, version 13.7* Several times I have made purchases but was given the wrong information (phone number, websites), so I was unable to actually use the vouchers. One restaurant they sold vouchers to was actually closed. There is no help number so they basically just steal your money ### 1/5 — Cannot delete account, so much spam *2026-02-03, version 13.7* I downloaded this a few years ago and used it once or twice — don’t do it. The app is very clunky and poorly developed. They spam you with SO MUCH JUNK MAIL, and their unsubscribe link just takes you to their login page and gives you no way to unsubscribe (which violates the regulations for marketing emails). Because I’m using Apple relay and can only sign in through their app, I looked for a way to stop the spam there and there is nothing. So I tried to delete my account, but their delete function does not work… it just says it will delete your account in a day or two but never actually deletes it. I’ve tried several times. It leaves you signed into the app, and they continue sending you spam you cannot unsubscribe from. ### 1/5 — Scam Deals *2025-03-18, version 13.3* Scammers is what they are ! ### 1/5 — Good mostly but scam risk *2025-01-11, version 13.3* I have gotten a lot of good deals here but was recently turned off when a bait and switch tactic occurred on an event I attended. In short , we were lured in by a luxurious menu and then was not offered those items when we attended . We did not receive a full refund for that either . Just be careful what you purchase and confirm with the place itself before you go. ### 1/5 — Mailing List is ridiculous *2024-11-21, version 13.3* I signed up for this app for 1 brunch with friends, and I have tried to unsubscribe front their mailing list more than 10 times, but I am still getting multiple emails everyday. Do not recommend ### 1/5 — Do better *2024-09-20, version 13.3* Have used pulsd for years and referred countless friends of mine, all without issue. Fast forward to now when some minor (and resolvable) payment issue comes about and the ceo is throwing a hissy fit via email because he lacks any concept of customer service or follow-up. رَزَقَكَ اللهُ الصَّبْرَ ### 1/5 — There’s a glitch in the app- it does not work *2024-01-31, version 12.4* Whenever you try to pull up the app the only thing that appears is a white space to use any certificate you have to use google chrome ### 1/5 — Good deals but customer service needs work *2018-11-12, version 6.1* They have some good deals but there customer service needs work...If you happen to need a refund (i.e the restaurant doesn’t honor your voucher or they charge you for a voucher you haven’t purchased), they will offer you one, albeit begrudgingly. Based on my experiences, they are more concerned with making mine off you than providing you with a good customer experience. ### 3/5 — good deals horrible app *2026-06-12, version 13.8* so hard to use this app it’s very poorly made and the only deals on here that are really good are the good deals everything worse don’t waste ur money ### 3/5 — Could be a great app if they wanted to make it user-friendly *2025-12-14, version 13.6* Could be a great app, but it won’t remember your history or anything like that ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is Awesome *2026-08-13, version 14.0* This app keeps Date Night Affordable and fun ### 5/5 — Been using for years *2026-07-26, version 14.0* I’ve been using this app for years. Literally the best app ever when living in nyc. Luxury experiences for the low all you have to do is pay the taxes when u arrive. Always be sure to read all details but Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — I love pulsd *2026-06-28, version 13.8* I really love pulsd. It’s been 4 years that I’m using it and it’s great! If you looking to discover new places this app can bring you sooo much! Please don’t ever shut down ### 5/5 — DA App *2026-06-21, version 13.8* The app for. Everything. Made by everyone. For us. By us. For you and me to come together. Community. ### 5/5 — Great deals *2026-05-18, version 13.7* Every voucher I have purchased was worth it. I have not been disappointed not once. All great quality and honestly a hidden gem. A great way to experience NYC. ### 5/5 — Spa *2026-04-22, version 13.7* I love puls’d. They have great deals and great exposure to awesome places! ### 5/5 — Easy peasy! *2026-04-01, version 13.7* Who doesn’t like to save a bit here and there. Pulse makes it easy! ### 5/5 — Great deals and clear fine print *2026-03-25, version 13.7* I am usually very skeptical about buying discount tickets to things because many times there are little hidden details that make me regret the decision, but I appreciate how pulsd lists the fine print very clearly at the bottom of each promo. The promos are all very unique and great for gifts or outings with friends! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-03-25, version 13.7* Such a great app to explore new restaurants and experiences ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-03-22, version 13.7* This app is great, I use it all the time to find cheap date, ideas or random things to do. The restaurants deals are great, definitely worth looking into. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
