  1. [R1] SmartRewards 1/5 · US Turkey hill: Scammed me not a good app to be using
  2. [R26] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Discount on gas: Discount on gas was not provided- very irritating, -
  3. [R3] SmartRewards 3/5 · US Not-so-smart pay: Smart pay only works if pump number is less than 10. Very annoying. Cashier was on her phone the entire interaction when I went inside.
  4. [R51] Upside 1/5 · US Misleading offers: App never honors bonus offers- there is always some “couldn’t verify receipt or purchase” when the documents work every time for normal purchases. Manual review of the purchases do not honor bonus offers, and ends up “you need to do another purchase and can’t get the bonus again that we didn’t honor”.
  5. [R52] Upside 5/5 · US Upside Is Wonderful!: Such an easy app to get money or gift cards for buying gas or using restaurants that you’d spend money on anyway!
  6. [R55] Upside 5/5 · US Free $$.: I use Casey’s gas. Get their rewards and cash back from Upside. Double bonus!! Made over $220 free money. I download Amazon gift cards and free stuff!! Love it!!
  7. [R58] Upside 5/5 · US $$$$$$$ XOXO Love it!!!: Love this app, extra money straight to my bank!!
  8. [R61] Upside 5/5 · US Great for saving: I make typically around $100 a month. Especially driving a company vehicle with a fleet card. My local grocery store and a couple of my favorite restaurants give cash back too. The app gets better all the time
  9. [R65] Little Farm Story 1/5 · US Great Game: I really enjoy playing the game but I had to delete the game because of all the ads, ads take away the fun and excitement of playing the game.
  10. [R67] Little Farm Story 3/5 · US Forced ads?!: The game is fun, but the forced ads makes it unplayable. I understand free games need ads, but interrupting game play for the ads is annoying. Usually you watch the ads to get stuff but this is too much. Also getting certain supplies and having to pay for them make it annoying to keep playing.
  11. [R70] Little Farm Story 3/5 · US Frustrating Fun: I enjoy this game but it keeps shutting down and anything I have done in the past few minutes is lost, very frustrating.
  12. [R72] Little Farm Story 4/5 · US Good game but frequently ads: Game is good that’s why in spite of having too many ads i play. But. You should minimize ads auto at the time of 5 min playing. As i am already seeing ads when i need products from the farm.
  13. [R79] Wild West 1/5 · US Game won't load: Got up this morning, tapped on game, and it won't load. Deleted app and reloaded, as they suggested a few days ago, but it won't reboot. Game was crashing when I played their new match 3 in game, side game. Think I've had enough. Don't bother.
  14. [R80] Wild West 5/5 · US very fun: I enjoy this game very much, I love this game and play everyday, a few times a day. It’s simple fun , and I simply just love it.
  15. [R82] Wild West 2/5 · US Incentive to play too low: It takes way too much work to accumulate materials. The orders for trains, ships and wagons require too many long growing plants, long production wait times and too much variety of goods that use same production facilities. To get the town to progress in any way that’s feasible you have to spend actual money. I came over from Township when they got money hungry and now I
  16. [R84] Wild West 3/5 · US Too much waiting: I was loving this game, but a week into playing and the waiting has gotten ridiculous. I get they want you to spend real money, but not in this real world economy and I spending rent money to make my ship come back earlier than the THREE HOURS it normally takes. Harvests - an hour for sugarcane and 2 hours for tomatoes? Need 6 pegs to complete the shooting range, but the last 4 s
  17. [R94] Supermarket Village, Farm Town 4/5 · US !: I love the game! The only problem I have with it is when I open the game it starts flashing black as if it was to blackout 🙃! Today as I wanted to relax and play the game, the game is completely blacked out! Is there anything that can be fix with this?!
  18. [R96] Supermarket Village, Farm Town 1/5 · US Still cannot play: black screen: It’s now June 30, still can’t play like another reviewer reported a few weeks ago. Bug still isn’t fixed.
  19. [R97] Supermarket Village, Farm Town 5/5 · US Great game: Great game but wish it had where you can trade or help others across the world buy their stuff if you needed I’m at level 21 and I love this game

  21. [R108] Farm Town 4/5 · US Crashes: Cool game put everything I try to buy and ova the puff pen it freezes and I have to force close the app and do my last few actions over again. Annoying. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled. Same problem. Lmk when it’s fixed I’ll play again.
  22. [R111] Farm Town 5/5 · US Amazing game: It’s amazing you can watch videos and get diamonds. You can just do a bunch and it’s totally epic and rock on.
  23. [R116] Farm Town 1/5 · US Expensive: Game kept crashing and cost me 9 diamonds to cut 1 tree not realizing it was just crashing. After I refresh the app, the tree finally disappeared. You must pay to advance and tree have to be cut twice … not worth it.
  24. [R117] Farm Town 4/5 · US Beautiful but glitchy: This is an enjoyable game. Beautiful graphics, lots of choices, optional ads, and long wait times to prevent excessive gaming in one sitting. However, it glitches regularly. I think my whole iPad is slower since downloading this game.

  26. [R20] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Car and People fuel: The Smart Rewards app with Cumberland farms saves me money and convenience on fuel for my car and coffee for me. I also like the community of customers who, like me, are looking for a fair deal and quality energy.
