Like most reviews are saying, if it’s not an outright scam, it definitely has pretty scummy tactics to force you to watch a ton of ads. Getting to a threshold to cash out is easy enough, but then you need to “earn” a cash out card. The only way to do this is with a Gacha mechanism, which gives you a chance to earn a puzzle piece. You need 10 puzzle pieces to unlock the card. I’m currently stuck around 7.2 pieces, since if you’re lucky enough to get a puzzle piece, it’s almost always 0.1 pieces. You can also earn other prizes with “ beans”, but then you are put “in line” to cash out the prize, except the line moves extremely slowly, if at all. Supposedly you can earn a “skip the line” card, but I’ve never landed on one, despite trying daily. I also check in daily, but it fairly regularly resets my days to 0, but you can get your streak back by, you guessed it, watching multiple ads. If I ever actually earn anything I’ll revisit this review, as I’m determined to try until I get something, but I do not have high hopes. If the developers actually plan to make this app something that’s not known as a scam, they definitely need to change some of these mechanics. ALSO it’s interesting how almost every review is only 1-2 stars, but some who they have a total score of 4.7? Yet another thing that just seems fake and scammy.

I’ve experienced what a lot of others are saying in their reviews. That they’ll progress well to get the virtual card that will let you cash out, and right before you get to the goal, you never pull the final pieces needed to complete it. After using the app heavily for about 2 weeks, I thought about giving it one last full month (until from the end of May 2025) to see if anything changes. Maybe it has an unreasonably limit of ads to watch before they ever pay anything out. All I know is that with the amount of ads this app forces in front of you, I ultimately decided not to stick it out through the end of the month. At this point, the time sink in ads was just too great to ignore. I hope things change with this app. I think it has the potential to be really good. But as of right now, it’s predatory.
