User reviews

Feels more human than most apps

Downloaded this because the private circles immediately stood out to me. I like that not everything has to be shared publicly. This feels smaller, safer, and more intentional. I can actually see people genuinely using this and benefiting from it.

Neat little mutual aid app

Easy to give and receive money

Great app to use with college friends.

I am very grateful for this app. I use it everyday with my college friends. College textbooks and food can be really expensive and my friends and I spot each-other on the little things.

Fantastic App!

The Scratch: Give & Get Help App is incredible! Awesome way for your own community to connect on a platform and help support each other when in need. Highly recommend trying it out and sharing with your friends, family and relatives!

Kind of like Venmo for donations

I like it. It was pretty easy to add people and make a request. No hurdles, took two minutes and people started responding with small amounts pretty quickly.
