Varies by day and time but absolutely amazing.

So thankful I did. This is for real! I at first did not quite understand until several others shared first hand how great this app was. Trey explained in greater detail. I guess I can get caught in the weeds. What a generous drop I received today. I happened to be close by and walked into Carrabas and received a $50 gift card with my 10 yo son holding the phone. We had the luxury of using it later on the same day at different Carrabas after an out of town lacrosse tournament. We could have used it any day we chose. Do download this app, you won’t regret it. The kids told me they have won several things. Now it’s your turn! ### 5/5 — Be the Yay in someone’s day! *2024-04-06* YayStack has made so many people smile with its positive platform. Be a Yay in the day. I have watched and have seen the impact of Yays on so many lives in our area. The recommendations are very helpful. The free gift cards have made this community come together and help one another. Yay! Thanks YayStack! Keep it up! Let’s spread Yays everywhere to everyone. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very disappointed with what this app has turned into *2025-04-23* This app was awesome! My daughter and all her friends were on it. This app used to give away $25,$50 dollar gift cards to places that people actually want to go to…now they only have $3 m&ms and $4 popcorn… EVEN WORSE, theses “gift cards” expire now?! Good luck to you If you want to get any decent gift cards now, try inviting 50 new people just for a $10 Starbucks gift acts that expires in 2 days!! ### 1/5 — NEVER WORKS!!! *2024-11-22, version 4.0.2* Everytime I go to a place and try to use the code it never works. There’s been multiple times where I came to chick-Fil- A and I had to spend my own money instead of using the code and getting my reward. ### 1/5 — Same app, different name *2023-02-04, version 3.2.5* Was promised a gift card in exchange for entering an IG contest & downloading this app today at a festival but never received the card. Boo for lying! I even got a DM from them saying “I won” and the rep at the event promised to send it “via email” eye roll ### 2/5 — App is going downhill *2026-08-27* This app used to be so fun but it keeps making changes for the worse. It is very hard to even collect coins now. Lately, you look on the app and you might have one 5 coin around you but in the last day or so, there isn’t even a 5 coin! It is even more impossible to use those coins to purchase anything. I try almost every day to purchase something and the timer counts down only to say no more available. Also, when you look at an offer on the map, why can’t it say what the expiration date is before you claim an offer? There are some that I have wasted my coins on because they expire too quickly and I am unable to use the offer and then I am locked out of getting something from that business for a while. I am definitely grateful for the freebies that I have gotten in the past, but the changes keep making it more and more difficult to get anything and it isn’t worth the time. One more thing, I’ve also been having problems with the app saying that I am moving too fast to claim but I am sitting still parked in a parking spot. 😕 ### 2/5 — Declining *2026-07-25* I loved this app until recently. It’s almost impossible to get coins now. There is a 5 coin nearby and that’s it. It use to motivate me to go on walks and collect coins as I did. It was also fun to enjoy with friends and compete on who got the gift cards. I don’t know if they are trying to minimize people getting cards by not earning as much, so to be honest I’ll drop this app and rate it lower for this change. Happy to bring the rating back up once they bring back the coins. ### 5/5 — WORTH IT! *2026-05-26, version 4.2.14* So much fun and stoked to get free gift cards for some of my favorite places to shop and eat. Yaystack rivals my Amex Platinum perks in store benefits 😆 but there’s no fee to play on Yaystack! Worth downloading! ### 5/5 — Ok I’m Biased… *2025-11-07, version 4.1.11* Because I’m the founder lol. But I am truly so grateful for all the positive feedback! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone supporting us! We couldn’t do it without you! May There Be More Yays In Your Days! - Trey Roth ### 5/5 — Coupon Hunter *2025-11-03, version 4.1.11* Chat, I am hunting gift cards and coins everyday. It’s so helpful in different areas and I love it!! ### 5/5 — Yaystack is amazing. *2025-07-25, version 4.1.2* I love yaystack. I send this to people and they’re all like bro, what is this and then I told them about it and they love it. ### 5/5 — G Huzz *2025-05-18, version 4.0.14* G Huzz ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun to use *2025-02-03* The app is fun to use, and the customer service is excellent. We’ve also gotten to try several places we would not normally go to. I would highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — The BEST APP *2025-01-26* To have the phrase “make a yay in someone’s day” says everything about this app! Every time a notification comes across that a new drop has been completed, I get a huge smile and arrange my day accordingly planning to see where to be to grab a Yaystack! I’ve even tried new restaurants, a skin care place and a new nail place simply from being able to grab a Yay. We LOVE YAYSTACK!!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!! Free stuff, Fun, and Food! *2025-01-25, version 4.0.4* I have gotten so many free stuff it’s amazing and I’m so grateful! Everyone needs to experience have a YAY in there Day!! This is so worth it!! Love YayStack!!! ### 5/5 — this app is a yay *2025-01-22, version 4.0.4* This is actually such a fun app. It's an adventure looking for free stuff. I thought for sure it was a scam but it's legit. It's saved me so much money. Great app:) ### 5/5 — Yaystack *2025-01-10, version 4.0.4* Yaystack is very true. I won four tickets. for a movie for free it’s the best experience I ever had. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
