I downloaded it to scan receipts and get the rewards, but they've started telling me some are invalid without explanation. Can't find the option to appeal. Also, when you read articles, the censorship of absolute garbage. Some will say, in review, and I never hear of see any communication. Not serving my purposes and I know Microsoft is making money from my data. And not crediting me a single penny for my receipts. Wait, there's more. There's even a limit to rewards you can get in a time frame.

This app needs a lot of improvement. Every time there's an update the app stops working. It will not load half the images on the page. On both of my android devices it will not load anything else until you uninstall it and reinstall it. I like the reward points, but you need to work on fixing the app. Also if you're reading an article, the app will go off the page while you're reading and go back to the homepage.

Probably the single worst-performing app on my device. Face it, we're just here for the points, but even that feature barely works. Sometimes you don't get points, sometimes you gotta resubmit receipts multiple times, and sometimes the entire app just stops giving any indiciation it's working at all. The built-in browser is always trying to take over and is a slow, lumbering pile of garbage. And to top it all off, it's a battery hog. It's also identical to the Bing app, so why does it exist?
