What reviewers actually said
Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R1] GET Mobile Trash: Slow as heck moving from any menu to another, menu items disappear, I don’t get texts half the time.
- [R6] GET Mobile Gets the Job Done: Very slow to load, but otherwise functioned just fine.
- [R7] GET Mobile Slow app: This app runs very slow and sometimes doesn’t react at all.
- [R10] GET Mobile Borderline unusable: It takes a ridiculous amount of time to load when opening the app, clicking any button or changing pages or really attempting to use any functions. Using Get takes significantly more time to fight the constant buffering than it would take to order in person. honestly I am so frustrated i wish i could give it 0 stars at this point.
- [R4] GET Mobile boo: most buggy worst frickin app i’ve ever used
- [R12] GET Mobile Doesn’t work well: Some days it works and some days it doesn’t. It’s so frustrating.
- [R19] GET Mobile Too many bugs: Time and time again I find myself trying to order from the University at Buffalo only to be met with the time interval glitches. These “15 min intervals” simply don’t exist. I’ll wait 12:15, 12:30, 12:45, 1;00 to no avail. I close the app I open it back up only to be met with minutes of loading screens this app sucks. Especially if you’re hungry!
- [R23] GET Mobile App doesn’t work: The app doesn’t let me scroll up to guest and there’s no help or support option.
- [R13] GET Mobile Convenience Fee to add funds to student account?: Yall should be ashamed.
- [R45] GET Mobile Conscience fee: School forces us to use an app, the makes up pay to use it, then makes us pay a convince fee on that
- [R16] GET Mobile App works but feels bare: The app needs some QoL features like widgets to display meal swipes. The app overall feels like a prototype, but it’s fine for the use case. The widget is definitely necessary because opening the app and having to use Face ID every time is a bit inconvenient versus seeing the data on my Home Screen.
- [R5] GET Mobile Can’t add card: No option to add card to my wallet. I have an iPhone- don’t understand why this is so complicated.
- [R18] GET Mobile Menu items: The app itself works really well. I only wish my organization had more options available that reflect the in person options at the cafeteria.
- [R27] GET Mobile Less carbs: Slow app, not all menu items available, but mostly it is carb heavy expensive food. Where are the veggies, can’t someone get steamed broccoli? It is a hospital, we teach good healthy diet habits
- [R32] GET Mobile Delivery time issues: I was basically unable to order anything with the app because of delivery time issues. I would give the cooks close to 2 hours advance to prepare food and it was still out of there range, tge only time I could order from was after over three hours notice. Terrible time management on the app/food handlers part
- [R51] Boost Mobile It’s not possible to change payment method: My card, which was usually used for autopayments, was frozen. I logged into the app to replace it with another one. But it turned out to be impossible because the Boost limited my ability to receive messages from the bank! This company out of mind.
- [R52] Boost Mobile Good customer service: …
- [R54] Boost Mobile 0 stars if i could: The app sucks boost mobile sucks too I can’t wait to change carriers. Can’t get an extension then it say if I did my phone would be on til may 27th it’s July 10th…. 0/10 don’t recommend the app or the service thank you.
- [R56] Boost Mobile Boost hasn’t been working the best: Boost has been a great app until recently when I’ve tried to pay phone bills and nothing would work which lead me to go to my local boost to pay in person. The app hasn’t worked the best for me and lead me to get my phone line suspended due to not paying but it’s not my fault nothing would happen when I tried to pay
- [R65] EarnStar Can’t cash out: Made 20 dollars and i’m trying to cash out with giftcard or paypal already verified my account and it only tells me preferred reward save and doesn’t let me cash out and i been like this whole day
- [R66] EarnStar Travel: It was quick and painless
- [R67] EarnStar Missing rewards: Love the app it’s amazing however I never received my earnings from one of the games even though it is crossed out that it’s complete, every survey I complete glitches out also, very disappointed
- [R68] EarnStar Scam: It works at first . But after a few cash outs they stop letting you cash out anymore . There’s zero customer service your just stuck with it .
- [R79] StepBet Greed. That’s all it is: Just straight up corporate greed trying to hold your money hostage. I get money is a great motivation for your steps, but it’s just plain horrible for the payout. I’m not expecting hundreds of dollars, but I completed 4 challenges and earned a whopping total of $0.85 throughout all of it. Don’t bother with this
- [R80] StepBet Good for accountability: Love that it kept me accountable, but really not worth the winnings. Don’t love that PayPal is the only way to receive the money. Had an issue receiving the money and customer service was very nice and helpful
- [R81] StepBet Slow Uploads: Mostly okay, but when you are close to running out of time - app tends to run slow to sync up with present time - makes me feel insecure and extra stressed.
- [R82] StepBet Not impressed: The app never has the same number of steps as my watch and takes forever to refresh.
- [R93] Porte No Notifications or Update: This app for some reason isn’t updating or giving me notifications I’ve been trying to uninstall and reinstall the app I don’t know what’s happening but the developers need to stop being lazy and check the app it’s been 4 months and no updates? How do you expect this app to run if you arent taking care of it? This is ridiculous
- [R94] Porte Great app: Pretty simple and helpful app,
- [R95] Porte No funciona card virtual: The card Virtual don’t work for the Apple Pay
- [R96] Porte Doesn’t work: App just keeps giving me a loading screen and I’ve been hacked more times than I’m comfortable with. Over all just a horrible experience of pure disappointment and stress. Never recommend to anyone
- [R107] Uklon Terrible service: I want to share my negative experience with this company and their app. On 21.06.2026, I ordered a car for a specific time via the app, after which I received confirmation from the driver (unfortunately, I can't attach a screenshot here). Well, the car didn't arrive, causing my family to miss the bus, which cost me over $1000. When I called customer support, they told me to... · translated
- [R108] Uklon Update: Clear, just great, you know how to do it, you got it. · translated
- [R109] Uklon Review: The last three trips, cars were found within a three-kilometer radius, so I had to cancel some due to long waiting times. · translated
- [R110] Uklon The new design is terrible: Please bring back the old design, as the app has become very inconvenient to use. · translated
- [R69] EarnStar I was very skeptical about this app at first.: I was unsure in the beginning so I didn’t play as much at first but once I hit $20 I cashed out & honestly I wasn’t expecting anything but it instantly went to my PayPal. Definitely worth the time you put into surveys & games. Thank you!
- [R70] EarnStar Nice to have fun: They have good games but not everything is good. When it's his turn to send the money I earned for the games he doesn't send it to me and says that I haven't achieved the level of the game, for example since yesterday I haven't received the payment that should have been made about 12 hours ago and they haven't done anything.
- [R83] StepBet Get movin’!: This is a great accountability tool.
- [R86] StepBet Loving this: What a fun way to get addicted to walking. My friends and I jumped in together and it’s been great for everyone. Excited to do more games.
- [R88] StepBet Not worth the money: I feel scammed. I walked, met my goals and won the challenge but after the app took their cut (over $10,000) all I got back was my original money. I’ll walk on my own without needing some app to hold my money for me, which is all it did. VERY DISAPPOINTED! It’s all good to say the app is about motivation and accountability while it takes OVER $10,000, seems more like greed. I
- [R98] Porte No option to sign up?: When I download the app. I open it and it says “Get started” or “Log in” So I click the get started option. A screen comes up asking if I’m an existing user. (I’m not) and the only answer to choose is that I’m already a customer and just need to get app access. I cannot find anywhere to actually sign up for Porte
- [R101] Porte would give 0 stars.: always in maintenance mode and i cant use my own card or unlock it. also logs me out and has me reset my password more than often enough. also get a service failed message. i have reported and it still happens. this bank and the app is disgraceful. 0 stars if i could.
- [R111] Uklon More than just a Taxi 100%: Today, Uklon's support team resolved my issue in a way that Privatbank's premium support couldn't. I accidentally sent money to the wrong place (it turned out to be a taxi driver), and with the help of the taxi service, my issue was resolved within 30 minutes, even though my request could have been ignored. Supporters Oleksandra and Ruslan, you are amazing! This is magic! The question of who to contact for a taxi in all... · translated
