  1. [R2] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Great App for Gas: Nice and easy app for fuel and convenience store shopping. Great offers and discounts in the app and easy to earn rewards.
  2. [R10] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Great rewards: Easy to earn rewards and use them
  3. [R11] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Motorcycle Fueling!: The app is awesome. Don’t even have to get off the bike to fuel it. Convenient and easy!
  4. [R13] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Best App: Easy to sign up. Great savings at pump and in-store. Highly recommend.
  5. [R19] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Easy: SmartRewards is easy to use. Very convenient.
  6. [R33] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Very Easy: The app was very easy to use
  7. [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.
  8. [R7] SmartRewards 1/5 · US SmartRewards: I do not receive promotions like this July 2nd discount on my app. I pushed it and it goes to an open new app. I go to mine and it does not reflect any discounts. I hate this app. Useless
  9. [R8] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Perfect: Works great as always
  10. [R36] SmartRewards 5/5 · US awesome: great app. works really good
  11. [R4] SmartRewards 2/5 · US Overall less value: The new rewards program isn’t all great. I don’t mind the cash rewards instead of free coffee rewards. What happened to the free birthday chocolate bar?? Also Cumberland funds the 10 cent discount by drastically driving up the cost of premium gas. If you buy the cheapest gas the 10 cents is a good deal but if you use premium then the 10 cents off pretty much brings the price
  12. [R21] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Love the prices: Enjoy the app discounts and free drinks Thank you
  13. [R23] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Awards: It’s easy to receive points and use them as needed, either in the store or today I used $8.00 off my gas!
  14. [R6] SmartRewards 3/5 · US Great customer service: Great customer service thank you Pooh
  15. [R14] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Manager awesome: Craig is the best!!!
  16. [R18] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Gerry: Helpful. Polite and welcoming!
  17. [R25] SmartRewards 4/5 · US Great service: Tyler behind the counter was tremendous. He was working two registers, cooking food, and keeping the morning rush moving. Great work!
  18. [R61] 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.
  19. [R63] 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.
  20. [R73] Little Farm Story 1/5 · US No good: Forced adds mid play
  21. [R74] Little Farm Story 4/5 · US Amazing but too many ads: My favorite game but the ads are insane! I paid to have the forced ads off because I couldn’t cope and they don’t register that I watched them anyway the X never appears and I end up force quitting the game, but even with no forced ads I still get forced in game adds every time I sign in it’s make me click X through 3 in game ads before I can play like but this pack and w
  22. [R24] 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.
  23. [R66] 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.
  24. [R70] Little Farm Story 1/5 · US Change it back! New update is terrible: Update: progress is still not being saved at water stations. If I pant carrots or cabbage, water them, exit the game and come back, the fields are empty. This game used to be fun and a good distraction. They just want your money now. Not worth it and don’t waste your time!!! Since the most recent update,no progress is being saved at the helicopter or the t
  25. [R78] Little Farm Story 3/5 · US Crashes: I love the game since im checklist oriented, but the further you get in the game it seems it crashes more, adds are excessive, and if it crashes your progress is reset which is irritating.
  26. [R79] Little Farm Story 2/5 · US Ad free version and still full of crashes: I love this game! I even paid for the ad free version. But for quite a while now it is unplayable. The game constantly crashes, on ads and on walking certain places and sometimes for no reason, all while losing recent progress. I also cannot do anything further in the neighbors farms because the second I walk outside of the conveyer belt area, it glitches
